      In my opinion the only good car from Tesla is (or will hopefully be) the cybertruck. Yet I'm pretty sure it won't pass the pedestrian safety checks in Europe! Even original Smart4two wouldn't pass them! Also the Smart4two isn't hated in Germany...we love it. You can park two of them sideways.

      They designed the Camaro as a more 'normal' replacement for the Corvair and to compete with the Mustang. They kept making the Corvair after they introduced the Camaro in 1967 basically to stick it to Ralph Nader because they didn't want people thinking they had cowed to him because of his book (the Corvair was still selling fairly well, especially after they put the fully-independent rear suspension out of the Corvette in it and had redesigned the body and introduced the Monza version).

    The Corvair also had a van. I owned both the van and the pickup truck. The latter had the very functional "ramp side," a drop down door on the right side, since there was a hump at the back to cover the engine. I carried many tone of manure and landscaping materials in that old truck, rear wheels splayed with so much camber. Never broke down.
    I'm surprised he didn't amplify on the fact that the 1965-1960 Corvair had a radically different rear suspension. In fact, it was pretty much the same as the Corvette of the era with a lateral leaf spring making the lower member.
    But by then Nader had done his damage.

      1G lateral with stock tires..it's better with soft tires like the Toyo R888 which obvo ppl would want if driving on a track.
      a guy like me that is 6' 2" and loves torque would deffo not like driving a Miata for any length of time, lol.
      Neons ate them alive in showroom stock class C in the 90's..slightly less cornering ability, bc an actual car..good for more than just one thing.
      gobs more power out of the turns and down the straights.

    The year is 2012. My buddys mom and dad were split, and hed travel 2 hours to go stay with her on the weekends. Him and his dad had purchased a cherried out 1972 gmc 1/2 ton 2wd in baby puke green at a farm action. The truck had a crate engine of some kind- he claimed it was a 383 but its hard to tell without opening it up, which we never did. It did have a holly double pumper, high rise intake, and a full dual exhaust fed by a pair of long tube headers. Truck was a beast.
    We learned really quickly 2 things.
    1. People wanted to race this truck.
    2. Undernieth 55 mph, his moms toyota prius would run almost exclusively on the electric motor, and stop light to stop light- nothing was faster then that car in that po dunk western nebraska town at the time.
    We made allot of money with that prius, and ive had a soft spot for them ever since. 😅

    My friend had a Pontiac Aztek in our mid 20s. His dad was a prominent business owner, and the dealership gave him a great deal so it would have one on the road. You sat higher than any minivan, crossover or even a lot of SUVs. The removable center console cooler was a nice feature while traveling. But that all glass rear hatch was heavy, and my friend replaced the gas shocks twice in the 5 years or so he had it.
    As for the Smart car, I went to the Toronto International Auto Show they year Smart was on their promo tour, and they not only had the Four2, but the Four4 and the Roadster, but the latter 2 were never officially released in North America. The 4 locked like a Neon station wagon, but the Roadster was actually nice, and would have been a contender for me to buy one. I see one pop up on used car markets once every 6 years or so.

    #6 Another thing about the PT Cruiser no one really knew was about the turbo version. Initially the turbo option was only available with the convertible version of the car. Which didn't make sense to me because when you put an engine in a car that lets you spin the wheels and haul ass down the road you WANT the stiff roof in order to help with cornering. Because, and here's the part I was hinting at at the start, the turbo option didn't just slap a turbo on the standard 2.4 liter engine. It was the frickin 2.4 turbo used in the SRT Neon. That's right. The turbo PT Cruiser was an SRT even though it wasn't labeled as such. And no one knew. But now you know.

      @@nightfly4664 I was going to comment that it had to be lifted from The Grand Tour or Top Gear, it's the only time I've heard it on TV in decades! The 80's was big on euphemisms because of the British board of film censorship banning naughty words and not allowing the medical terms either, so Stephen Fry and his generation of Cambridge lights comedians really took the ball from the Carry On films, and ran with it.
      Good times for comedy, less political correctness and fallout for comedians. Less vulgarity too, aside from Roy Chubby Brown style acts and some of the northern misogynist types.
      Though most of them are still in circulation behind closed doors, I guess they're the entertainment at the Conservative party conference, it's usually rich old boys booking them for gigs at gentleman's clubs and the like since no-one else is interested in comedy that intentionally, and overtly racist, sexist or other ists. Unless it's framed to be inclusive rather than exclusive, which brings us neatly back to Top Gear, where they take the piss out of everyone equally, and all insulted parties have a laugh because most of the time it's genuinely funny and isn't designed to harm or belittle anyone, the only reason they're allowed to still get away with it, when almost no-one else enjoys that level of comedic freedom in their material in today's scene. Just a shame The Grand Tour proper is over, I hope they plan on doing frequent specials, or s different format as there's really nothing else like it!
      I watch a lot of car related video content on various platforms, but I could honestly watch Top Gear for a couple hours every night. Brusque old men remind me of my dad.. Although I'm probably older than Hammond myself. I feel comfortable with that kind of bantering humour and it's inexorably being banned from the school and workplace, which makes me sad. I'm no advocate of bullying, but nor am I a fan of being so thin skinned about comedy and quite so precious about pronoun's. A little compromise goes a long way, that's how civilisations were build, and the personal uniqueness that everyone is celebrating, seems ironically to be leading to civilisations being torn apart. There's no I in team, instead of celebrating what we have in common people are worshipping at the altar of unique and special at any cost.
      Uh, that unexpected rant kinda popped out. Sorry folks, now you see what messing with comedy gets you ;)

    I had a pleasant experience in a Prius my first ride. I had a co worker give me a ride and it was actually very nice. The engine noise in the cab was pretty much non existent and it was really comfy and even though I needed to go east and he needed to go west he didnt seem to mind at all didnt even charge me gas money which I offered $10 for his gas and time but was told "I appreciate it man but it's fine this thing does amazing on gas so dont worry about it" so on the way home I was asking him about it. His weekend car was a challenger which was sweet.

    My ex-girlfriend had a Prius Prime, and I would usually drive it when we went on longer trips. It got over 70 MPG, was nice to drive, had great visibility, decent acceleration with the electric motor, and you could park at the close parking spots and charge it, and you could drive in the express lanes for free. It also had a carbon fiber rear hatch, a nice sound system, and a huge screen for navigation. *BUT* everyone would act like a total D!Ck to you while you were driving it. It wouldn’t matter if I was going 80 MPH in the carpool lane, people would be on my ass, and they would cut across the double yellow just to pass me. I could immediately tell the way other drivers react to you is just different.

Being slippery is arguably the most important element of what a Prius is trying to do, and that shape does that.

      I borrow one of two pruises that my parents own when my car is in the shop. It’s not a fun car, but it is a cool car because of the gas mileage and reliability. And I’ve moved a lot of stuff In those things. A new 30 gal air compressor, new Kush 2.0 lights. Pvc, 2x4s, a new toilet. I only need to bust out the pick up for larger cargo, which is nice because that thing gets shitty mileage and isn’t as reliable.
