Car Talk 4: The Richard Hertz Rent-A-Car 500
Eh, I drove the Bang Bus 90k miles without a back window, it's NBD really, specially in such a short car. I have zero wants for the 2.slow, I think it's the dumbest thing ever inmax225 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 09, 2020 5:09 pmYea I asked around. It sounds like he is busy with work, prolly glampin too, too busy for us nowadays, which is .D Griff wrote: ↑Thu Jan 09, 2020 5:06 pm
I think if I was to buy one, I'd be cool with hitting up Detroit and trying to get a decent on a custom order. It would be neat to order a car once in my life anyway, get some weird spec.
Speaking of... did Detroit quit whilst I was gone? Haven't seen him around.
My idea spec for poverty life is Black/tan in Bikini/tan + LED headlights. Quite a good value, or if i wanted auto i'd probably go 2.slow. Then I am torn on whether to HT or not... i hate not having a rear wiper... you'll be flipping blind in the winter.

People seem to like it... Also it fixes the torque issues of the 3.6, as it is essentially dead before 2500rpm which is in a utility vehicle, rev'ing a jeep above 3k is painstaking... but the smaller ligher one may be fun. The JLUR certainly wasn't.D Griff wrote: ↑Thu Jan 09, 2020 5:34 pmEh, I drove the Bang Bus 90k miles without a back window, it's NBD really, specially in such a short car.

I agree that the lack of torque on the Pentastar is a bit off in a but I didn't mind winding out the JK. I'd prefer the durability/simplicity of the natty motor.. turbos are kinda meh to me I feel like the allure of the is in the simplicity.

Is this just the general car talk thread?
Anyone have experience making a product for a vehicle as a side business? Got an idea for my lesbo-wagon. Can probably net me $10k or so in the first few months, and then maybe a couple grand a year after with minimal work.

40k Focus sold out
40k golf has mark up
100k doge has mark up
If you build it they will come
I think it’s cool, Toyota won’t make many units and they will go to collectors which seem to be swimming in money
oh snap. I missed that part! brb, off to research.
edit: $36k is ehh and up to $41k. Very cool and will be a star rally platform.

Would this be something you make on your own or contract out production?MrH42 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 10, 2020 11:00 am Is this just the general car talk thread?
