So there seem to be two trends in naming autos. 1) Name it after a scientist. 2) Have a Nurburgring edition.

Good god. The original Yugo had the driver as a structural member of the car. Do I need to stuff the whole family in the Cabrio version?!

There is nothing anti-car in this article, though it’s true that Alissa’s articles do skew a little green. That’s a good thin through; it’s good to be exposed to new points of view. If all you want is an echo chamber for your own views, just pick up a copy of Road & Track, where nobody ever says a thing you could…

Its impossible to have a good time at a rally just watching it. You have to experience it.

Lots more pictures here if anyone is interested:

She was already in one.

You would say that her casting into the franchise was destiny, or even F8.

No. The (radioactively) hot components are removed in shielding. They are left for a while after the plant is shut down for the thermal heat to decay, but that takes something like days or weeks. Lesser activated stuff, like pipes, valves, etc. that might have been irradiated, is much more easily handled. Any…

I was just watching one! Here’s L’argus’s review of the “E-mary” presented by popular French journaliste Travisse Eau-Kulsi:

I myself was hoping to start an aftermarket vinyl face sticker business for Model 3 customers... you know, to fund my Model S. >:)

Okay, going off on a tangent about Tiff - who is, in fact, fucking wonderful - when I was a teenager, just when fifth gear was kicking off, thanks to how laid back he is while presenting, I figured that Tiff was just some regular mope, had some moves because he’d had a lot of practice, but just a regular mope. I liked…

I’m one of them, in fact. I’m pretty good at rally, decent drifter, pretty good at Autocross, but fucked if I don’t get real queasy in the passenger seat at times, depending on the driver.

Fuck, I remember when I didn’t keep my fitness up between races, and ended up puking in my helmet while I was driving, just from…

I think the Mexican car dealership system is the worst in the world... I cannot order a car I like, I have to order from their list, wait a few months for a color, equipment combination that might never come, or get another car. The warranty is void if I have the car serviced at another shop, if I change wheels or…

European dealers usually work on customer orders, because demand for new cars is much lower in Europe so they can’t afford to keep cars on the lot for no reason. Same goes for Russia and all post soviet countries. No idea about Asia though.

But getting the seeds out of the permagranate is such a pain in the ass.

It’s not enough to make a real judgement, but I can’t say that it sucks. It might even be pretty good. IMO, what really matters is the chemistry between these hosts. The major issue might be that they have so many hosts. Frankly I think this season should be called “Survivor: Top Gear” because I don’t expect all these…

Oh for fucks sake, there’s a combined total of 5 minutes of the new TG on the interwebs, and youve already determined that HOURS of auto-hoonery programming will be shite.

Pro-tip- Turn the drill at a very low speed. Most phenolics need to be worked more like a dense wood than anything else. Also tape and epoxy both sides of what you’re boring to keep the edges clean.

Graphene. Or nanotubes. When it comes to materials science, the answer is always graphene or nanotubes.

Be fair, all cars work that way. Granted it’s easier to “recharge” gas cars.
