Even my wife came around.
WFH was so nice.
Now that I'm back it just feels right. Why should I pay even $1 to commute to work. The car is just so relaxing to use it in this way.
Yeah, but I'd say the same thing about Hyundai Kia. Decades of a less than flattering reputation. It looks nice now, or hey they make a quick run car now, "yeah, but it's a Hyundai".
I wouldn't say it's junk. It's almost tank like in how solid it feels and drives. Good shut lines, good quality. Not a single squeak or rattle which is something I can't say about most new cars I've had.
It's a short lived tech appliance with a short shelf life dressed up as a car. But...
Absolutely. I'd never buy an EV with this abysmal depreciation and how fast the tech will make a 4yr old one obsolete. It's like my damn cell phone. Give me a new one every two years.
There was no push for me. No government motivation and pressure.
This was a free car.
It just happens to be a nice one. If this cost me even $100 more a month than I was paying, it wouldn't be in my driveway.
I have made it about two years now with my BlackWing as my work commuter. I have subjected it to two winters.
It's been very comfortable and capable.
But man, I drive this thing like a grandma in at 6am, barely ever over 2k RPMs. I still struggle for 22mpgs. Can I afford it, yep.
But I...
I have Grundy MVP.
They'd allow a collectors policy on the BlackWing if I add another daily to the mix. I have two collectors and the wife's DD already.
It doesn't have to be a matter of lying. Someone was put on the spot in an interview. They gave the answer they gave.
Mirza is on this forum and has answered in depth this same question. I give credence to Mirza. He's also not the only person I've interacted with first hand who has said the...
1) not just weight of V6 vs V8. You always want the engine set as far back as possible, V8 would altar the handling of the 4 as you have more engine past the "axle". Having driven both cars at Spring Mountain, I'd never want to lose the sharpness of the front response by even a few percent...
I'm going to clarify this again.
The under hood of the 5 is the same as the Camaro and both accommodate the V8. The underhood space of the 4 is smaller. No V8.
Could you make a business case to modify the 4 in such a way to make a V8 fit? You know that would drive the price as high or...
