This Jimmyfication of a Chevy is not as bad as the ’56 we looked at recently, but it sure doesn’t improve on the original.

- CanadaCraig You can just imagine how quickly the tires are going to wear out on a 5,800 lbs AWD 2024 Dodge Charger.
- Luke42 I tried FSD for a month in December 2022 on my Model Y and wasn’t impressed.The building-blocks were amazing but sum of the all of those amazing parts was about as useful as Honda Sensing in terms of reducing the driver’s workload.I have a list of fixes I need to see in Autopilot before I blow another $200 renting FSD. But I will try it for free for a month.I would love it if FSD v12 lived up to the hype and my mind were changed. But I have no reason to believe I might be wrong at this point, based on the reviews I’ve read so far. [shrug]. I’m sure I’ll have more to say about it once I get to test it.
- FormerFF We bought three new and one used car last year, so we won't be visiting any showrooms this year unless a meteor hits one of them. Sorry to hear that Mini has terminated the manual transmission, a Mini could be a fun car to drive with a stick.It appears that 2025 is going to see a significant decrease in the number of models that can be had with a stick. The used car we bought is a Mk 7 GTI with a six speed manual, and my younger daughter and I are enjoying it quite a lot. We'll be hanging on to it for many years.
- Oberkanone Where is the value here? Magna is assembling the vehicles. The IP is not novel. Just buy the IP at bankruptcy stage for next to nothing.
- Jalop1991 what, no Turbo trim?

Maybe I've gone wrong in the head, maybe I've had too much to drink, but that red truck is a beauty. Chunky tires, faded paint and airhorns - it just looks like the business - a real rat truck. I want that parked on my driveway.
That red truck is freakin' awesome. Someone needs to do what they call a sympathetic restoration on it (DON'T TOUCH THAT PATINA!) and cruise around in it. What a hoot that would be. Seriously, SOMEONE needs to let go of that T100 notion and do something about this.
