How much exhaust in a Dodge Caballero?
How did the AMC Ranchero get acceleration?

Also, did the survey say ‘ElCamino’? The Chevy El Camino’s name is two different words.

 

For the El Camino part, I don't know, I just overheard him say that

Any misspelling is on me

 

No he didnt get the widebody since it didnt exist when he got it since its a 2015 i think also back then hellcats cost around 100 grand while the 392 cost 30 grand less. You do see alot of us cars here espacially Dodge Rams the silverado and f150 are rare but the ram is the truck i see the most here even more than amaroks and stuff and we just see them as big and cool

 

I just learned that there was an electric version of the VW Golf Mk2. Only about 100 were made.
Very interesting

 

The first gen Fiat Panda also had an electric version! It was called the Elettra and apparently it made 12 hp, had a top speed of 70 km/h and a range of 100 km

 

The AMC Pacer had an EV version, as well. 100-mile estimated range.

 

"hey, what car do you have?"
"E L E C T R I C C A R"

I thought electric cars died off in the 1900s-1910s, and resurged in the late '80s-'90s. Didn't expect to see an American car from the 70s(?) given an EV power supply.

 

Yep, '70s.

 

Died out early on because they were pretty garbage compared to gasoline power. Were experimented with in the 1970s-1990s but never hit the mass market because they were garbage compared to gasoline power. Reappeared again in the late 2000s, at which point they were still garbage compared to gas power but were forcibly inserted into mainstream consciousness anyway with a very clear mission of "fake it 'til you make it".

 

The fiat 126 had one too




The Peugeot 106 and Citroën Saxo had one too

 

Chevrolet also built an electric Corvair called the Electrovair in 1966, but that was only a concept I believe.

 

I don’t really like modern cars, and I especially don’t like EVs, but the Toyota Crown… well, I may make an exception.

 

Subframe moment

 

What do you guys think the American equivalent of the Miata is?
I think it's the Fiero

 

No, that's the American MR2.

The American Miata is the Pontiac Solstice

Tesla recalls over 1.1 million vehicles in China due to accelerator pedal alert issue

tl;dr Tesla restored the regen adjustment option on their vehicles sold in China

 

See this?

This is not OK. This will never be OK. This dealer, along with everyone who helped inflate the market for 90s/2000s tuners to the point where someone thought this was a reasonable price, should be ashamed of themselves.



This one too. "Fair price" my foot. Which is even worse at this point?

 

80 Grand!? For a goddamn regular Honda? What reality have we entered, this is some Twilight Zone crap.

 

I'm not sure I'd call it a regular Honda, but it's certainly not that. I'd call the first one perfectly reasonable at $5000, the second at $2500, especially given that both are way beyond "collector miles".
