Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon mid-size trucks and Chevy Express and GMC Savana full-size vans

Not in the last 2 years but RBR’s Monaco 2016 was a colossal screw up.

I view this as a safety thing. A loose wheel is dangerous for pit lane workers, track marshals, and even spectators. This isn’t the place to forgo technology to improve the show.

You would think automated signaling would be preferential considering it removes human error.  We use automated signals off of the tooling in manufacturing for anything as important as a wheel nut...

It’s a UAW thing than a company thing. That is why it’s limited to the factories instead of company wide.

I didn’t realize how much easier it was to remove airbags these days (doens’t seem to be limited to Tesla). Back in the 90s, airbag theft was common so OEMs were using fasteners.

Ferrari’s seems a bit more intuitive because the turn signal buttons are on either side of the wheel.  Tesla has them vertically stacked on the left side.

“Pre-production” units after a certain stage are classified by the OEMs as ready for sale. Only very early vehicles are test mules.  Generally pre-prod units stay within the company (management vehicles, loaner vehicles, etc).

Next time you talk to Mike Levine can you ask why he has 1/2 of automotive twitter blocked? 

That’s fine.  Just thought their might be more to it so I was taking the opportunity to educate myself.

In clinical trials the rate of infection is significantly lower for vaccinated groups than non-vaccinated. Yes, it’s more than zero but it seems like your post is missing that nuance.

All I can figure is maybe the employees home country didn’t have access to vaccines? Most cruise ship employees are younger and from non-western nations.

I’m scared to even ask but what is wrong with Disney?

Yeah, this isn’t surprising at all so I don’t understand the tone of the article.

It’s a very expensive parade.

I’ve seen a few of those takes on social media.  They seem to miss that Ford has worked with and hosted many administrations from both sides of the aisle.  They had Trump visit as recently as May 2020.

Do you understand what automotive testing looks like?  A few WOT pulls isn’t going to make anyone nervous.

I think of it as the Hogan.

Everyone has their own comfort level. While I’m not to the point where I want to be shoulder to shoulder with people for hours at a sporting event, that is what the CDC has said is safe for vaccinated adults.

I was there Sunday and went to the race in September as well. I thought masking was pretty good in September while it was pretty much out the window this weekend.
