I'm not a fascist. I'm a priest. Fascists dress up in black and tell people what to do.
They're called louvres.

Really add something to a car IMO.

Eh, louvers were a third gen thing. Fourth gen rear glass wasn’t very conducive to them (though people did try).

It's got a cop motor, a 1,500 cc hybrid gas plant. It's got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks. It's a plug in hybrid electric so it'll run good on regular gas.

Wicked. Tricksy. False.

So the Mythical $69,995K,Tri Motor.,AWD: 500+ miles of range Cybertruck promised in 2019 is actually going to cost $99,990.
Im shocked. I believed him and never saw this coming.


Also, I find it kind of funny that on ONLY the CyberBeast spec, do they list the 0-60 time with a little asterisk of :

†With rollout subtracted.

I kinda can't stand the non-historical videos that Cammisa does anymore because they feel like marketing for the automakers, e.g. the Hyundai video, and Cammisa adopts a grating Wish.com Jeremy Clarkson persona on camera

That being said, Carmudgeon is still the only car podcast I listen to regularly

I want to like Jason, but yeah, his persona bleeds way too often into caracature.

Derek Tam (hyphen) Scott is the real star of the podcast, imo.

Yea this really felt just like reading the script they were given rather than testing anything other than usual Sports Car Metrics.
