As we see with our little cars, the main market for small vehicles is overseas. It would make the most sense for companies to build their small trucks in the markets where they're the most popular,...

I've also been using the basic SmugMug plan for years, which is just under $50 per year now. I like it because it's easy to use and doesn't try to be a social media site.

The only cars that bring 7 digits are one-of-a-kind, or owned by dead famous people, or both. I doubt a Karma will ever bring $100k as a "classic". Plus, it's going to take some serious $$$$ to...

Well, carbon fiber body panels replace metal that's slightly stronger than aluminum foil, so it doesn't have to be all that strong. :bellyroll:

The seats feel just about right for me. I've done a one-shot 1,200 mile trip in them, twice, and didn't feel bad at all. I'm 6' and 150lb.
