The best thing that can come from this will be the passion project the soon-to-be ex-Codemasters developers will work on from the new underdog, upstart company that they will form. They’ll be unencumbered by the existing IP that EA will own, since they won’t be allowed to directly copy that. All the new, creative ideas

Totally unrelated: I don’t know why I just noticed, but “Mercedes Streeter” has to be the absolute most perfect name of all time for an automotive blog writer.

Looks like an upside-down, three-toed sloth to me.

I’m not crying, there’s just something in my eye. And my other eye.

Kaiser’s hood badge is as cool as its flying buffalo hood ornament:

I had one of these. For real. It was awesome. Except the locking torque converter started never unlocking. It was designed to lock at speed for more power transfer and slip as normal when stopped and shifting. But then it would never disengage. So it would stall if you ever stopped. That’s when we got rid of it. They

This ISN’T about freeing up 18 year olds to drive trucks... this is about flooding the market with more workers than jobs to keep wages too low (to the benefit of the trucking company execs at the expense of the actual truckers) and take power away from teamsters unions.

That was my initial thought. The whole sector will be gone in 20 years... why on earth are they trying to get more kids in it? Oh yeah, to lessen the power of teamsters unions which represent the people currently doing the tedious work of moving our crappy bluetooth speakers and groceries around.

His superpower is his immune system. He’s impervious to STIs.

Next up: Super VILLAIN vehicles:

I nominate Syndrome’s rocket boots

Yeah, IF you include James Bond as a superhero, the DB5 is the wrong choice, anyway... it should be Little Nellie (which you can apparently fly with crossed arms):

Slow, cramped, inefficient, unreliable, terrible build quality... the Dodge Shadow had everything.

I have that car. 2002 Civic Si. I love that shifter.

In Indiana, the base registration is around $30/yr. Then the rest is based on the value of your vehicle (drawn from a chart of model and year... individual vehicles are not assessed). A $20,000 car might pay $350/yr for registration. A $2,000 car will only pay $30/yr. It’s a pretty fair way to pay for the roads. Those

This is the correct answer. Just talked to a dealer about this the other day. New car value minus the trade in value equals the taxable amount on the new car. If you have a relatively valuable trade-in, it can make a decent dent in the cost differential in taxes.

Some say... he orchestrated the removal of the other hosts in a series of clandestine power plays that would make Frank Underwood blush.

In F1 engineers are not allowed any control over the car whatsoever. This year they even banned them suggesting settings to the drivers. The driver is making 100% of the decisions about what settings to use and making 100% of the changes to the car on the track.

Why, precisely, would one need a snorkel on a rail truck?
