:plac: finds v2.0: Moar gold on the crangslist

I see hundreds of Teslas a day in Charlotte if I drive around a lot :iono:

I think it’s just my good luck that I haven’t had to lay eyes on one of these yet.

I am excited to see it in person though, certainly a novelty.

You are just a snob now. It's an obnoxious muscle car. Better than a Challenger. https://www.caranddriver.com/ford/mustang-shelby-gt500 I just feel like mustangs have a price point. And that price point is well below 60k. It’s not a rich man’s car and I hate that ford is trying to take it there. It...

The C8 should look better than it does. There is some Pontiac Grand Am Plastic genome in that thing. Also I wouldn't own one for a week without tossing the square tipped exhaust and installing BROLA. Yep the square exhaust has to go. Easy enough fix. And the auto tragic only is also a bit :gay: as ...

I've seen multiple outlets or people say the same. IIRC Lotus is aware and trying to make it better It seems like a dumb thing to mess up in a Lotus. The shifter in the Elise I drove sucked.

I have to renew my license/get a real ID. Why is the DMV so heinous?

I haven’t seen one yet… word is there’s at least one in Charlotte, I’m looking forward to seeing it for the :lolol:

I think it is dumb though. I’m amazed it actually exists. It’s a death machine, built to kill pedestrians everywhere and cut the hands of children!

Wow that would be ballin dude :dat: Honestly Suburban/Tahoe/Yukon/Escalade have always been class leading vehicles. Those and the Corvette/Camaro are really the best of GM (and now add the Blackwings to that). I hope to never be in the market for one as they’re ‘spensive, but probably worth it.
