My God, this is beautiful!

I saw a 56 Cadillac convertible today parked outside a restaurant. Completely pristine, looked like it was new from the factory.

It runs. BUT, it's a freakin' lawnmower; I did not see it cutting any grass.

I am not against electric cars but I think they are dangerous I am looking for the article because I remember that if you are in a wreck in one of them the car become untouchable metal

Depends on the crash. In the case of Tesla, their battery packs are incredibly robust. It takes some pretty extreme crashes for a BEV to explode or "become untouchable." Keep in mind that a gas powered car can become a fireball if the crash is severe enough. While Tesla fires do make the news, I would be surprised if gas powered cars catch fire less often in crashes.

Yes true nut people who are trying to make electric cars who aren't Tesla have problems

I'd say the problem with battery-powered cars is more their tendency to keep reigniting when they do catch fire.

also true

While we're on the topic of Nissan's sports cars, I guess.

Along with the Nissan 370Z, the GT-R also turns 50 this year, which means we get to see a new Nismo and a special 50th Anniversary Edition at the New York auto show.
...
The special GT-R comes in two-tone, meant to represent the GT-R’s liveries from the Japan GT series. That blue, called Bayside blue, returns with white racing stripes, while the other option is a pearl white car with red stripes. Inside, there are more special touches, like a unique steering wheel and shift knob trim, special embossed seats and faux suede all around.

Everything else is mostly turbo tweeks to make it more responsive, some fancy brakes for the NISMO model. Nothing too drastic, really.

The 370Z gets the Peter Brock treatment:

Same deal, trim and accents.

I'd say other automakers have fewer problems with developing and releasing an electric car to market. The only real positive Tesla has going for it right now is the Supercharger network. Otherwise their prices are high, reliability fairly low, build quality less than ideal, and apparently that 35k base model never appeared.

Meaning Tesla's missed the entry market by a few grand leaving it for Nissan and GM to pick at it with their offerings.

technophilia and wack

I heard from somewhere that the Bolt might be one of Chevrolet's most reliable cars they made.

For a minute I thought this was a modern update of the old Toyota Supra, but then I saw the Bugatti badges, and oh my God I fell in love all over again for Bugatti.

See this is not just like texting. The forum here is expected to be for debate, so posts are generally expected to be more substantive than just “I like this”.
Cool that you like it, but why? What about it do you like? What can we discuss?

Not a mod but just saying that you might want to consider it.
