SayatodaU.P.eh?

I’ve been in automotive for over 26ish years. I hate the rollercoaster but it’s all I know. Wife started in the automotive world back in 2017 and she’s completely over it. Hoping we find something different for her soon.

China made an about face on EV a couple of years ago. They can’t sustain it so now they don’t want it like they want something with a gasoline engine in it. With the lack of materials for current stuff, a LOT of people are sitting on their hands with nothing to do, in the R&D world, on the manufacture side. 2023 isn’t going to be pretty. If things don’t turn around before mid way through the 2nd quarter, I can see a mass forced exodus coming for a lot of white collar peeps in the automotive sector. Unless, they do an about face like China did but, politics will probably keep them from doing that, unfortunately. Hope I’m wrong though. At least about the jobs part. I have no want to be a large part of any large EV movement personally. Nothing against it, it just doesn’t hold my interest.

Wife and I took our sleds up to the in laws Monday. Got a quick 40 mile ride in Tuesday before it went to shit quick yesterday. Now, it’s all bare and pretty much starting completely over again. Not a lick of snow accumulation in the 10 day forecast either. This shit is getting old, that much I know.

Hey, you said it. I hear ya though. There’s only a few people in any of my riding groups that are buying new. They’re still buying Polaris but they do bitch and they are die hard Polaris guys anyway. I haven’t bought new since 2009. Can’t justify it. Between weather, the cost and work, it just isn’t worth it for me to spend the dough on something that’s going to get ridden 4-5 times a year, if that. Pretty sad really.

Are you talking about the lack of snow check on time deliveries, or the recalls? I doubt the recalls will do much in the way of pushing people to something else. Most people that can’t get the recalls done are just riding them. Now, goofy people like yourself, who have put themselves through how many years of spring order delivery BS? Yeah, THAT I can see. That’s a you problem bud. No way am I selling anything to buy new unless the new item is already sitting there. I see too much of it on a daily basis. I’ll weather this storm with old junk, thanks. I’ll bet the parts don’t cost them 1/4 of that.

Wha? No….well, you said it, not me.

Unreal what people will pay for spank material. IMO, any women capable that is NOT taking advantage of that whole deal right now is off their rocker. Your identity never has to be revealed, from what I understand, so what’s the shame in it? Get that money, use it wisely and live good. Fuck what everyone else thinks. At least you’re not rubbing your Arby’s sammich all over some creeping dude who’s blowing a load in his pants over it.

Are what any good? Full EV vehicles? No idea. How many BEV3 vehicles has GM produced? How many Hummers or Lyriqs? Materials cannot even be sourced for those and we all know that auto manufacturers work 3-4 years ahead, minimum. So, how is the next gen EV suppose to even enter development, if the materials to build current production cannot even be sourced easily enough? 2023 is going to bring the pain for a large amount of the auto market. Any manufacturer putting a ton of weight in the EV market is going to be hurtin for certain, by the looks of it. Oh no no no. AFJ says it’s a Z06 with front electric drive, not some “same 6.2L V8” bullshit. Just look up the page a few posts.

Correct. I’ve read the rumors/talk about a full EV Corvette for years. I’m sure sooner or later something like that will happen. Problem is, battery tech is still too low and from what I hear, just getting the materials to BUILD next gen packs is almost impossible right now. Full blow production of current EV models is severely dismal for some auto manufacturers so I wouldn’t be waiting around for anything super high end like a full blown EV Corvette anytime soon. I’m sure there isn’t many people in line to buy one anyway.

How much money has Polaris lost over those two recalls? Go ahead and post it. I’m sure you’ve already figured it out. Yeah, ya know, huge deal. Gotta be more that $47m.

No idea. The car in the video still seems to have an engine noise though so…

He said electric Z06? Interesting. No idea wtf that even is. Ask AFJ. He probably knows.

Yeah, you go with all that.

You’re the last person around here that should be telling anyone about reality.

Vegas man. Vegas.

Between that, IG and Tik Tok, no chick has to strip in a bar anymore.

Dude, they landed in their fucking face. All this money and time wasted, AGAIN. Recommendations.

Only Fans.

They’re all going to find out real soon that “Covid pricing” isn’t going to fly. I wouldn’t mind picking up an Axys chassis, 800cc version of that sled though. I can sell my Indy in one phone call for more than I paid for it. Honestly though, I would rather update my RMK first though.

Imminent. That’s the word you’re looking for. Imminent.

There’s also rumors going around that he was found dead in Dubai.

The C7Z was a stop gap. They are snappy, oversteering pigs that are hard to drive fast. The C7GS was the sweet spot for that chassis. Not a 7th gen fan at all, myself.

The Z06 option started as a track car option way back in the 2nd gen days. The 5th and 6th gens brought that back and the 7th gen wrecked it because there wasn’t enough space under the hood to fit a tall enough intake for real n/a horsepower. The LT2 is basically a LT1 with a taller intake, headers and a dry sump oiling system. The intake and exhaust alone were where the 35ish extra horsepower comes from. The C8Z was 110%, from ground up, meant to get back to being a n/an only track car to realign itself with its heritage. It does that in spades. It makes driving a base car feel slow and antiquated, honestly. That’s saying a lot seeing as how a C8 base car is LIGHTYEARS ahead of C7, in all areas.

The C8 Z06 will never have awd or front wheel assist. It was put together to be a 100%, naturally aspirated, rwd track car.

Hey, did you say a FULL tank of rec fuel AND a full tank of oil?!?! Well fuck! 🤣🤣🤣
