We can use this technology to cure road rage.

So everyone else doesn’t have to look it up, the Vezel is rhe HR-V.

Ahhh, it’s nice to see that even with Bernie gone F1 hasn’t lost its mobster mentality.

Don’t have my laptop with my C&C pics on it at the moment but I did take this yesterday with my phone.

Are two spoke steering wheels especially uncommon? I drive a basically new car with a two spoke wheel.

That’s especially crazy when you consider that an X5 50i with the same MSRP and age would likely go for $7k to $15k more CPO.

I know something even worse than this. On the W222 Mercedes S Class, the wipers leave a triangle right above the driver’s view out of the windshield. If that’s not annoying enough already, the middle point of said triangle is facing down, so water drips from there, leaving a line of water dripping down directly in…

Not at all. It’s just seems like you didn’t really read the Jalopnik article carefully after maybe scanning the headline, didn’t bother looking at the source material which the Jalopnik article was referencing, and then decried both as being either over simplistic or inaccurate. There were plenty of details and…

So based on my circumstantial evidence, there are probably more Lamborghini Aventadors and Jeep Cherokee XJs running around London than Genesis sedans right now.

Apparently economics and Bloomberg don’t mix either because the source of this article is from there?

Not really. Mercedes GLE, Porsche Cayenne, Lexus RX, and Range Rover are all 5 seat. 95% of the BMW X5s and Range Rover Sports on the road are 5 seat because the 5+2 options in those are completely useless. All of those except the Lexus are definitely more of SUVs than crossovers. Jaguar F-Pace and Cadillac XT5 are 5…

The S8 will probably get a 3 spoke steering wheel at least.

Not only was the article tongue-in-cheek, but this is one of the worst defenses of capitalism I’ve ever seen.

Yeah, as well as the softer suspension those older cars also had small wheels with huge tire sidewalls which helped a lot with the ride on bumps.

The ones near me are pretty generously spaced. Everything from a Prius to my SUV can go through the gaps without hitting the bumps.

I think the complete banning the installation of new speed bumps/speed deterrents is a bit too far. There are a very small number of places where they are actually necessary for the safety of pedestrians.

This might depend on the car. In really big luxury cars, especially with adaptive suspensions, you could probably go over rumble strips at any speed. In a lowered car with stiff suspension it’s a totally different proposition.

You’re right, you’re not a seismologist. I’m not either but I know enough to make some basic determinations.

Training people, integrating them into an existing company, and getting them up to speed is a huge expense though. I don’t think companies like it when people work somewhere for a year or two then jump ship because the lost productivity from hiring someone new would far eclipse the benefits from overworking them while…

I’ve met quite a few people as friends of friends who work for or worked for Tesla. Apparently the expectations for the hours one is expected to work and the amount of work required from each employee are a little ridiculous. For a lot of young engineers coming out of school or people coming from startups those…
