Elon thread-Lets hate each other

Interesting that they have it roped off when all Musk wants to do is rabble on about how tough the thing is. I still don’t think it’s real… at least in a sense of a mass produced vehicle that can be purchased/registered in the US. From my understanding, it still hasn't gone through the required tes...

Yeah, just about every vehicle has a towing rating from the factory. Having a truck is nice. I haven't had one in a number of years, but I never really did much towing with mine. Honestly, the thing I miss about it the most is the open bed, which I have with the El Camino, and I've used the Elco to...

I've used my friend's Lightning to tow the 944 about an hour's drive away and it did it starting with 80% charge on the battery. And we certainly weren't rolling in the slow lane with the hazards on.

I do like it as well, it's honestly just sad to see something like that never get driven or started up when if it was just taken care of, one could easily enjoy for a few thousand miles a year with no real downside. Now it will never drive a mile in its life. I was watching a lot of these “barn fin...

Hai guyz. Sorry I've been away. No worries. Where you been/watchu been up to? Any updates on the 944? No updates on the 944, unfortunately. It has been sitting with the failed hydraulic throwout since May. I kind of walked away from it and concentrated on replacing the exhaust on the El Camino. I a...

What part? It’s basically a track pack GT Who is buying this and why? The prices on this generation are completely out of control. And the updates are minor at best. 90% of the car seems like it’s back from 2014. The only “real” update is a digital dash… engine, interior, chassis is pretty much a c...

Keep us posted on the final Acura transaction. I’d be curious what this does to the whole type R/S market. Imo they are still hunting the same consumer yet significantly increasing the supply on what used to be a severely constrained (compared to demand) vehicle. My theory is that within 6-9 months...

The slave is a Tilton 8100 hydraulic bearing. Their website lists the piston area at 1.215 sq.in. The master is a 1" bore Wilwood with a 1.100" stroke. The 1" bore is the only way I could get the clutch to release, and it still took almost the full pedal travel to get it done. I thin...

I guess you could add Rav4 hybrid to my list. I was set on getting one but the wife insisted that she liked the CRV better. I suppose it doesn’t really matter but I’d have been happier with the Toyota. I think. Ive got another rant with my accord's quality, the metal tip thing on the window switch ...

Pathetic. Bubble can't burst soon enough.
