Oh that fucking thing's been a big hefty expensive ev pig since late 2021, I've went past my local gmc dealership and these things sit and rot (same with the sierra ev's and chevy Silverado ev's at my local chevy toyota dealer). Apperently the 0-60 is 2.8-3.0 for the pickup version and 3.5 for the suv variant. With 1000 ev horsepower. And the main gimmick that the hummer ev has is that it crab walks (front and rear steering)

Honestly General Motors should have left the hummer brand dead, it hasn't been good since they introduced the hummer h3 (some people say it died when the h2 came out but I like the h2)

Its a shame the vw id buzz was or is a failure in the us market, it looks nice, but the $57k price caused only 5000 to be sold in its first us year last year, it might come back next year though.

It's got a range of like 37 feet. If you want a "lifestyle vehicle", as it was marketed, then it needs enough range to actually leave the city.

(same with the sierra ev's and chevy Silverado ev's at my local chevy toyota dealer)

I feel targeted. I like my Sierra EV. But that's because it has enough range to go almost anywhere, very very quickly.

It goes 240, same as all the other fuckin EVs

Yea, that's useless here out in the west outside the cities, want to go to Yellowstone, good luck. Mine at 400+ can be marginal at times but it works for me.

Im sorry for the target, I'm just saying where I'm from where every winter is a frozen shithole and it becomes a raining jungle in the springtime, most people I see on the road drive heavy duty trucks usually 20 to 30 year old diesels or gassers and o newer trucks and suvs. I've never seen a single person around my neck of the woods who drives an ev truck unless its a out of state person in a cybertruck.

I like when I Google searched it I wasn't the only one who thought it looked like a magic mouse

And yes, the designer used to work at Apple.

I'm not a ferrari fan to begin with (the lower case f is deliberate), but this is just hilarious. It looks like a prius mixed with a chinese knockoff dyson vacuum cleaner. They always had the occasional ugly model, but all of the most recent ferraris are either ugly or meh. I get the impression that one of the lead designers has a unibrow and is like one of those artists who has done so many self portraits that his own features start to appear on portraits of other people. Also loves piano black for some reason even though it looks cheap as fuck.

>cheap looking plastic wheel arches like every crossover

Lots of people shit on jags (reliability wise which is mostly true) but I've always loved classic jaaaaaags

Well they are factually junk, but they are very handsome cars.

And now for something completely different......

You normally see Civics, Skylines and Supras and other Japanese cars with anime wraps on them - called Itasha cars (Japanese for "painful car" apparently). Here's an Itasha Pinto! Someone with an interest in classic cars and anime I guess



Its called the Minto Pinto and even has its own Instagram account

We do lolcows here at the farms, here's the first lolcar!

Such a waste of molestation on a clean looking pinto. I hate the wrap, hopefully someone rams into it.

I work in a major city and the big shots have spaces out front of sky scrapers. I saw a Hummer E crab walk, while I'm not into trucks or E things. That was fucking COOL. Most based parelel park ever.

Weather was high 70s sunny, got nice 40 miles on the Elise, barley 1.5 gallons of gas. I fucking love this car.

When I think of Ferrari I usually think of this car first



Might be since I am rather old.

what about this?

This video from autopartscity-illinois got me pissed off. The fucking mexican confused the 6.2 Detroit diesel in this truck when shitting on it for a Oldsmobile 350 diesel.

That's a fucking nice rig. Whoever buys that thing is going to end up with a good workhorse. I'm a sucker for 70's-80's GM RWD V8 stuff. Probably going to sell my Jap project and buy something of that sort sooner or later.

I’m on holiday a fair way away, and while I’m coming up to the end of it, I’ve put over 6,000km on the car, and it’s been flawless. It’s such a nice car to drive (Holden VF Calais V, if you’re interested). I had it serviced while I was down here, and they said nothing was of note, which I’m happy about. This car has nearly a moonshot’s worth of mileage on it, and it drives like it’s on rails. It’s a shame these cars weren’t more heavily exported, because they are fantastic cars to drive.

Those are nice, I have a VX myself. Is it the V6 or the V8? Got an LS1 in mine

All of the stuff that fits my criteria for replacing the old Jap car I've been using as my good weather runabout for about 5 years now is always really far away. Drives me nuts. Wish I had a friend or relative with a pickup & a trailer to help me out.

Nigga built a supercar out of, mostly, wood..... so what's stopping you from your dream whip?
