This will get me run out of here for car brained-ness, but I would love a Suzuki Jimny. Tiny, cheap, the biggest engine offered has 101hp: https://www.globalsuzuki.com/automobile/lineup/jimny/ Still an insanely inefficient unnecessary toy, but at least it's human scale. Has legit off-road chops too. https://www.thedrive.com/news/43958/you-can-buy-a-new-suzuki-jimny-at-us-dealerships-just-dont-ask-too-many-questions Because the US is a lawless land you can buy one from a shady dealer. They're completely illegal of course. Edit: I love dealers not giving a poo poo: quote:As we talked, he reiterated that Iconic Motors bought the truck in Mexico, though he added, "They're a very popular truck outside the United States, so we figured we would sell one here." That's... as good a reason as any, I thought. Twerk from Home has issued a correction as of 18:11 on Jul 3, 2023 |

Weembles posted:All the drivers of old fashioned jeeps with dents and diamond plate welded over the corners and upside down "if you can read this flip me over" bumper stickers were laughing and filling their tires back up to freeway pressure. The one guy with the brand new 4-door was just standing there mortified, staring at the spot where a shrub branch had put a scrape into his paint. we used to have like a 1972 CJ jeep we painted white and welded diamond plate all over the back and sides and towed behind our rv. it was great. now it drove like poo poo, no power steering, braking sucked, started to feel like it’d rattle apart over 55mph on the hwy, kinda garbage mph, but it did handle doing plenty of actual off-roading and river bed driving well and was super easy to repair

there's a reason car commercials always feature someone driving a spotless new model through a desert or on a mountain or in a mountain desert instead of in suburban city traffic. people really want to think of themselves as anything besides 9-5 office workers

Justin Tyme posted:Nobody has ever wanted to work, ever, in all of history, because working loving sucks, and tech weirdos are aberrations and were the type of cavemen who would have been really into astrology and megaliths instead of sucking+loving between hunts. Like "if u aren't moving the big boulders after the sun goes down you'll never get anywhere in life" weirdos I actually really like my job, but I know that's super rare. I'd be super bored if I were retired, because while obviously I can do all sorts of other things, none of them give me the "intellectual stimulation" my job does.

FlapYoJacks posted:Imagine paying 6 figures for a loving Jeep lmfao. my dad drove jeeps when I was going up We had a grand wagoneer (the breaking bad one with the wood paneling lol) and a comanche. My dad was always doing work on those things lol. the loving drive shaft fell out of the wagoneer one day when we were driving over the train tracks by our house. Fortunately my step mom forced him to sell them and buy an accord.

100k jeep owners must be the dumbest buying segment in the market. make way too much, still go into insane debt for an American shitbox. at least apple vr buyers don’t have to spend the equivalent of a modest Midwest house to show their rear end. I actually drove past the Chrysler headquarters this morning and looked it up to be sure: still one of the largest buildings in the entire world by floor space lol double edit: I’m actually shocked the renaissance center is also on that list too. why the gently caress is anyone building new commercial real estate in this region, we have plenty to go around. meanolmrcloud has issued a correction as of 18:49 on Jul 3, 2023 |

Gunshow Poophole posted:what the gently caress is even the point lmao none of the plug in hybrids have tons of range. My Prius prime can only do 40 miles on full EV mode. Their use case is that it’s an electric vehicle for a short commute and then a gas vehicle afterwards. I think it’s a dumb idea for something like a jeep, of course but if you were commuting with one for 20 miles per day then it’s as good as any other EV.

That Works posted:none of the plug in hybrids have tons of range. My Prius prime can only do 40 miles on full EV mode. Their use case is that it’s an electric vehicle for a short commute and then a gas vehicle afterwards. No it's not, because it uses way more electricity and thus way more energy than most other EVs. Is the electric Hummer good? It's an EV, right? It weighs more than 9000 pounds and takes three times as much electricity to move as something like a Tesla Y or Ford Mach E. https://www.inverse.com/input/tech/gmc-hummer-ev-carbon-dioxide-emissions-electric-truck quote:Chevy Malibu, for example, produces about 320 grams of carbon dioxide per mile driven. The new Hummer EV, which weighs in at just over 9,000 pounds, emits approximately 341 grams of CO2 per mile driven, based on average global power grid consumption. A combination of general inefficiency and vehicle size essentially renders GMC’s Hummer worse for climate change than your typical sedan.

OP was criticizing the lack of range for a PHEV vs a pure EV which is apples / oranges as they serve different purposes. And yes, I literally said its dumb for a jeep, for the weight reasons you point out.

Napkin math says it has less than 1500 lbs payload capacity. The Ford Maverick costs $22k, weighs 3,600 lbs, gets 42 MPG in the city, and has 1,500 lbs payload capacity in all trims. https://www.motortrend.com/reviews/2022-ford-maverick-towing-hauling/

Found out local bakery sells old bread for 10€ per grocery bag. Went out today and bought 25 rye bread and put it into freezer. A very good deal in these trying times.

Embracer is an equity holding co and bought up a zillion indie and med size studios the past several years. check out their Wikipedia page of acquisitions, it’s wild. there was no way they were ever going to recoup profits on those acquisitions so I have no idea what their game plans is/was besides sucking up gazillions from ZIRP if anyone was a board game nerd like me, you’d know Asmodee went around buying up tons of small time games and game production places. then Embracer bought Asmodee last year which is kind of insane. Asmodee loving sucks dick too, just giant monsters ripping everyone off I’m phone posting or I’d put a screen grabs Xaris has issued a correction as of 20:34 on Jul 3, 2023 |

Not necessarily the reasons behind the collapse. Is TinyBuild also an active acquirer?
