Problems with Drive Motor Battery Pack (IMA) - 2018 Clarity Touring

Intriguing. Once it’s repaired we’re selling it to Carvana or trading it in at the Toyota dealer, who ever offers the highest price. For those who haven’t noticed, the issues have been PHEV related. This will conclude our experiment with electrified vehicles.

I recently purchased a 1963 Studebaker Avanti which has required some tinkering. It’s rather enjoyable. Modern cars are pretty much unapproachable when it comes to turning a wrench. Next up is a Sunbeam Tiger. Full gas from here on out.

Nice! I recently picked up a 1968 Austin Healey sprite. Nice little car to tinker with.

@Landshark, you got the right Avanti--the real one. I've never accepted the Avanti II made with GM/Ford parts. Raymond Loewy and his team did an amazing job designing that car in less than 2 months. They found a way to make a good-looking car without a front grille. Today's BEV designers have not been as successful.

My Dad had a Sunbeam Alpine--the one with the absurd (for a British car) tail fins. I always smiled when I watched Maxwell Smart drive his Sunbeam Tiger.
