    5/2/22 Build Week Gang

    I've had a Polestar 2 dual-motor (without Performance Package) for 2 months now and I love it. It's definitely firm, but not bouncy like the Mach-E was. I do miss wireless CarPlay - that was a serious miss by Polestar.

    5/2/22 Build Week Gang

    I sold mine to Carvana after 2 months. The ride was untenably bad, even with the MagnaRide shocks. It bobs around like a drunk penguin. Pretty bummed because the rest of the car was very good and the Grabber Blue paint was amazeballs. Waiting on a Polestar 2 now (since waiting for cars is...

    Unreleased Mercedes EQE 350+ in the wild

    I have an EQE 500 on order with a 10/18 build date (so roughly a 12/18 on-the-ground date) to replace my departed GTPE. Pretty excited about it.

    Family Resemblance - new ICE Mustangs (7th gen S650 platform)

    LOL. Nope. It won't matter because the market will have moved to almost entirely EVs by then. That die got cast already - the auto OEM roadmaps are all EV at this point and have been for years.

    Family Resemblance - new ICE Mustangs (7th gen S650 platform)

    Instead of making the Mach-E look more like a Mustang, Ford is making the Mustang look more like a Mach-E. 👍 https://www.mustang7g.com/world-premiere-7th-gen-mustang-s650/ - Mark

    Can't deal with the bouncy ride anymore after two weeks with the Mach-E. What do I do?

    I did exactly the same - Carvana picked up my GTPE last Thu and I've been driving my wife's XC60 T8. Night and day. And for all the people who are saying "it's a sports car, you should expect it to be harsh" - umm, no. It's not that the suspension is stiff - it's that it's under-damped. The...

    Think Your MME Is Too Common - Try A Mercedes EQS Then!

    Think Your MME Is Too Common - Try A Mercedes EQS Then!

    My 2 month old GTPE is for sale (likely being picked up by Carvana this week) and I have my name on an incoming EQE 500 that's got a 10/18 build date. The GTPE is going because I can't take the suspension on my commute and Mercedes, well, knows how to do suspension calibration.

    2022 Volvo XC40 Recharge Impressions/Comparisons

    Our XC60 T8 hybrid suspension is INCREDIBLE. I sure wish the Ford execs had driven it before they signed off on the awful GTPE suspension calibration. I'd probably not be selling my 2 month old GTPE if they had.

    From SVS to SSN - The Tejon Pass Claims Another Mach-E

    I'm guessing that it's gonna cost a lot more that $160 to get something to have sex with you. This is literally the most shocking thing I've read in this forum to date. If someone told me that I had to choose "the least-likely person on this forum to understand people," guess who I'd pick?

    From SVS to SSN - The Tejon Pass Claims Another Mach-E

    This is the dealership that Ford Corporate wanted the car moved to, right? 🙄

    Steeda Front Sway Bar! It is awesome. Transforms the car into what it should be.

    I hear you, but changing the sway bar stiffness is pretty easy (just move one end link to a different hole in the bar), so worth a try?

    Steeda Front Sway Bar! It is awesome. Transforms the car into what it should be.

    So the front and rear bars do not have to be set to the same stiffness. Stiffening the rear more will reduce understeer ("soften the end that isn't working" is the suspension setup rule of thumb). Modern cars have a lot of understeer dialed in at the factory to prevent lawsuits. The fact that...
