When I was selling the Peugeot RCZ R privately, I let four guys test drive with me in the car. One was obviously the eventual buyer and he and two others were very respectful. So careful, drove slow at first too scared of damaging it ….as is what I do when test driving
(terrified of destroying something that’s not mine..even if if is mine for that matter)

Anyway, one guy thought he was a rally driver, told me he use to race cars. Could of fooled me cause he couldn’t shift for nuts, kept crunching the gears, racing over speed bumps etc. About ten minutes in I told him, sorry I gotta get back for my son, he’s got a football match to get too.
Couldn’t stand it anymore

How utterly disrespectful

Not bad, I'd test drive one since a Jeep owner. Right-sized city hauler.

Teslas are so cheaply made, and I personally hate the feel of the spaceship type interior.
They cost because they were the first to start delivering the technology in numbers, but in my opinion not with the money

Gotta admit, this ad is pretty funny. But the production RAM EV lacks the titillation of the concept and is a real boner killer.




It's like Ram gets off on giving everybody blue balls. Here's the concept... you can look, but you can't touch:
