    I'm a long time pikes fan and remember when Rod Millen ran a 10 minute time in in a Toyota pickup truck. Because of this and his knowledge of the pikes peak, I would have begged him to drive for me.

I would have liked to have seen the whole run from several of the onboards somewhere in here. All the cuts and canned sounds kind of broke the feeling for me. Not taking anything away from the achievement, just my opinion on the video itself. 🙂👍🏁

    This is a perfect "function over form" car. The most polite word I can think of to describe they way it looks is...awkward, but it's a rocket.

      Do you want to live in a world with electric performance cars, or no performance cars? Those are basically your options when it comes to the future. It a perfect world, the V8 sports cars would live on forever, but that's not gonna happen unless Ford comes up with a fuel cell hydrogen powered V8 or something. I'd rather have sporty EVs over no sporty cars at all.
