Franco Caution posted:I wonder if some of the new videos where he has on guests/helpers is to get more people to watch the channel who are normally turned off by the videos that are just him. It’s 1000% the latter. All the big YouTubers when they get enough capital will set it up in a way so it’s sustainable for them to step away somewhat or more than somewhat, and maintain significant revenue for the rest of their life. Doug in particular secured a sizable investment ($37M) for Cars and Bids and has brought other people in for content.

Yeah that's what I meant- launching a volume vehicle that's popular from the jump into an environment rife with supply chain issues Combined with dealers marking the loving things up like everything else makes it V unfortunate

He's also said he's wanted to have people on for a long time, but hasn't because he was either busy focusing on what gets views for the channel and then eventually getting involved with C&B. So yea now that he doesn't need the YouTube money, he's more free to experiment with his channel and just do what he wants to do, such as have friends on and shoot the poo poo. Like his recent videos with guests all get a fraction of the views of one of his regular reviews. So when you're dependent on that Ad money, it's hard to justify putting out that kind of content.

Yeah he’s still doing the same twice a week solo videos, just adding some other stuff with friends because he can and it’s funNeo_Crimson posted:It's one thing to not like his videos, but the weird amount of venom Doug gets on this forum is off-putting. Dude is incredibly harmless. Agreed

 https://www.carexpert.com.au/car-news/heres-what-hyundais-first-electric-n-car-looks-like No real details, but  Other than the extremely tired red pinstripe and performance blue paint, looks like just a regular Ioniq 5 to me. and hot take, performance blue didn't even look good when it was new, never mind now however many N cars later.

The GT version of the ev6 got lime green calipers, lime green stitching and beefier engine/suspensions, little else. I don't think they are going to add the ioniq5 a  bodykit with neon underglow.

Looks like they did indeed add a rear wiper; hope that gets added to the normal Ioniq 5s as well

Walking past a new Nissan Frontier today, the bolt pattern stuck out to me because my brain is wired wrong. I looked it up, 6x114.3, or 6x4.5 So, hold the gently caress up: 6 bolt pattern for no reason imperial bolt circle. Same bolt pattern as the Dodge viper Can somebody explain the physics or engineering for me that makes 6x114.3 better than say 5x127

It's new to Nissan in 2017. Only other non-badge engineered vehicles that have used it: 1997-2003 Dodge Dakota/Durango 93+ Dodge Viper 2008-2019 Kia Borrego/Mojave 1993-1996 Honda Jazz 2008-2013 Suzuki Equator 2006-2009 Pontiac Montana e: If i had a new Frontier i would be running Viper 3 spokes on it.

Powershift posted:1993-1996 Honda Jazz Those are an Isuzu Mu and a Frontier, respectively. Dates back longer than 2017 too, Nissan have been using it on the Navara since at least 2005 that I can find currently. Not sure what my R50 Terrano/Pathfinder had.

Yeah but isn't that at most about 30 seconds into a pretty fast hill climb? I'd guess some stupid software issue crashed the car moments before it crashed.

Any new car announced at this point probably has a contingency for a BEV version, gas flap got designed before everyone VHS'd to the much smaller form factor tesla charging standard

I feel like Mazda launched the CX90 at exactly the wrong time and is going to get crushed once again like their previous attempt to go upmarket.

If they could subsidize some of the high interest rates in their lease/financing, they could do alright... These things are p wonderful, from what i saw...

It has a dynamic brake proportioning system using regen which dynamic brake bias is the wooooorst idea for a track. Almost certainly when it put a wheel n the inside the entire system poo poo itself, the driver lost front brakes and maybe steering authority esp if it was steer by wire.

A lot of cars with diesel variants in other countries also have an extra filler for the urea mix, and the gas model will just use the same set of filler parts and panels, many just have a blank spot on the gas model for where the extra filler would be.
