:D Exactly what I was thinking.

I think you would get a lot of use out of an engine hoist. My neighbor and I used mine a couple weeks ago to help get a huge tile cutter off a UHaul trailer.

Compared to a Sonic Hatch, the Bolt is 5" longer, 1" wider, has a 3" longer wheelbase, and is about 3" taller. I think it's going to look more substantial in person than most expect.

GM pays LG $145/kWH for Bolt cells.

I've found car guys in general dig EVs because they're interesting. I brought my new e-golf to the local Cars & Coffee last weekend instead of my 360. For a few moments, the group around the car included people who had brought a McLaren P1 (!!!!), Ferrari 512BB, track prepped 911 Carrera GTS...

I've been shaking my head about your saga. I bought a Volvo from a VW dealer that was originally sold by the same dealer network's Volvo store. One phone call and they faxed all the service info to me. I had a similar experience with a used Jaguar.

BMW has been doing it for years. They must have some way to hedge against the risk.

Not so fast. :) Not disputing the exceptional results but on the surface, it looks like the Model S has the same brake package as a Camaro SS and early CTS-V. Rotor sizes are the same as are the front calipers (couldn't find a pic of the rear Chevy calipers). The front may be smaller to...

FWIW, while my Volt rotors do get some limited rust on them, it's nothing like I see on other cars when I park them outside in the wet or wash them. They end up looking exactly like the OP's car in a matter of hours.

Ah, of course. You're absolutely right.

Very nicely done. Looking at the picture you supplied earlier of the offset of the new arm, do you think offset bushings could provide the same effect for less expense? A bushing designed like Tesla's has plenty of material available to drill off-center. Eyeballing it, one of them could...
