Anyone know the model and year of this specimen?

This is what they took from us.*

*I am referring, of course, to the decommissioned train station where this photo was taken. It's a shame that even with the embarrassing state of public transit in this country, we can't even have private automobiles with the kind of panache still barely demonstrated by this Oldsmobile.

The BMW E30 is a coupe from the 1980s that I've been really interested in recently. However, since it is a coupe, I don't really like how it does not suit my vibe. I was wondering if there's a car similar to the E30, but with shorter tail, similar to muscle cars like the classic Mustang, or none of it, kinda like the Toyota AE86? I'd prefer to see one under BMW, but I am also okay with other brands, as long as they have the box-like body design, the circular lights and characteristic 80s vibe.

Was vielen vielleicht noch gar nicht so bekannt ist, es gibt eine Fahrzeugklasse, die aus meiner Sicht eine der tragenden Säulen des zukünftigen Individualverkehrs werden könnte.

Diese Fahrzeuge dürfen bis zu 15 kW Leistung haben und können damit, je nach Konstruktion, bis zu 90 km/h schnell fahren.

Ich möchte hier eine Liste von eFahrzeugen erstellen, mit denen man auch von A nach B kommt, die aber nicht dem Trend der üblichen ePanzer folgen.

Falls ihr noch andere Fahrzeuge dieser Art kennt, dann meldet mir die gerne, ich füge sie dann der Liste hinzu.

Es können auch gerne kleine eFahrzeuge, einer anderen Fahrzeugklasse sein. Sie sollten aber mindestens 70 km/h schnell fahren können, damit man damit auch mal auf einer Landstraße unterwegs sein kann.

eTransporter

Mopped-Fahrzeuge (bis 45 km/h)

Hier findet ihr eine Übersicht, welches Fahrzeug man mit welchem Führerschein fahren darf.

I'm Australian and Fox Bodies arent super common here and are eligible for classic import status. Im not looking to do something soon but I'm also daydreaming about this pretty hard and I'm really curious about how viable the idea is.

Doesnt need to be a special edition, manual is strongly preferred but hardly essential if they command a big premium and I do like the later models with the 1 piece headlights. Liftback or notchback is fine either way.

Yes I've googled but that only really shows what people on BAT and clasifieds are ASKING not what they can realistically be had for if I started trying to buy one.

Some research I've done suggests that a small idling engine should consume about 0.2 - 0.3 gal/h, which is about 0.8 - 1.1 L/h. However, the following calculations I've done are off by a mile.

At idle, engines typically operate in a rich-running condition, which implies a best-case air-fuel ratio of roughly 14.7:1 (i.e. 1 L~fuel~ / 14.7 L~air~).

According to this article, engines typically have a volumetric efficiency of 15% at idle. This means the volume of fresh air drawn into each cylinder is about 15% of the cylinder's volume.

A 4-stroke engine sucks air into all cylinders in two revolutions.

Using this information, I've calculated the idle fuel consumption for a 1.1L engine at 800 RPM as follows:

rate = (800 rev / min) * (15% * 1.1 L~air~ / 2 rev) * (1 L~fuel~ / 14.7 L~air~)

This comes out to roughly 4.5 L~fuel~ / min, or 269 L~fuel~ / h. What gives?

There was a fault code for sensor 2 that I cleared about 3 000 km ago, but it hasn't come back since. There was never a CEL

Been waiting for the official release on this one ever since I first heard the rumors Ford was reviving the Bronco name. Ford could've screwed this up something fierce, but I think they hit the nail on the head.

Be curious to see how long before an SVT version is offered with a Coyote; the lack of V8 seems to be one of two big complaints, with the other being that the manual isn't offered with the 2.7L, only the 2.3.
