As somebody who owns an E46 330i sedan (120k) and is generally happy to see the market go up: nearly, but not quite. E46 prices have exploded in the past two years, ZHPs have earnestly begun to break $10,000 territory, and you do pay a premium for ZHPs that aren’t black and haven’t had the interior chewed up, but this…

“It was ultimately found that my Sonata was using a quart every thousand miles. Somehow Hyundai called this normal.”

Honestly shocked Ferrari would let this hit the market. The company that will sue you if you modify their cars even beyond their taste and sell them, and here they are allowing a pre-production vehicle with intentionally ugly lines carry the badge? Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for it, but surprised.

“Claims involving defects in 1, tail light design or assembly of all makes and models, and 2, powertrain cooling systems in Jeep Wrangler (Model Years 2017-) are subject to delay pending consultation of third-party experts”

This staggered me my first time driving in Pittsburgh. People got mad at for NOT doing it.

Eh, extremely small trucks require the liftgate idle, so that’s more of a structural problem with the vehicles themselves to face then.

Oh, good point. I haven’t seen that in writing. This should be clear in the article – and to the people likely to run out and start filming!

The thing that bothered me about that Times piece, as well as coverage here, and which anybody who’s ever loaded a truck can tell you, is that there are *SOME* reasons to idle. Namely, if you use an electric lift on a box truck with the motor off, specifically an older truck, you will drain the battery before you’ve…

They’re so stupid for the copyright infringement claim, since in any news coverage that would be ‘fair use’ footage totally legal to use.

What’s the point of the ad hominem as if I’m some Blue Lives Matter Trumper? I’ve lost count the number of police protests I’ve been chased around at in my lifetime. My personal politics are in line with the story’s angle, which is beside the point. A stretch is a stretch, and it isn’t illegal to call it that.

Are you new here? Back in ‘08 and ‘09 the site published wildly different material. Of course there were current events, but this is a stretch by any standard, and I say that as pretty much the target pinko commie reader for this story. 

Well, if it involves a car, I guess...

That’s not propaganda. Do you know anybody who lives there, spends there, travels there? Downtown had to go through a year’s worth of cosplay BS and there are still encampments. Part of being a grown-up in society is being able to recognize when our choices have consequences. The city got worse.

Mostly. Portland, however, did not. A shell of its former self.

I will just say, without diving into the usual Brown Manual Wagon argument, I resent the creation of a new problem: now that everybody has an automatic, once your car is dead, your car is dead. Yes, batteries are better now, but being able to roll or push a standard for a bump start has saved me before, and while I…

Yeah, I’m totally confused, because he’s actually right – the ones that disintegrated ARE stainless steel. And it’s also true that above ground, the Transit Authority had endless rust problems (as you would expect) with the carbon steel cars, not the stainless ones. So this is purely an underwater issue, and it must…

Sweet article – but whoever edits, or pretends to edit the titles, please don’t do things like this. At no point is this piece, which is basically saying ‘I like the Turnpike and have nice experiences relating to it,’ advancing even close to a real argument that the Turnpike is a great road. Why not ‘A Love Letter to…

Embarrassing transition and conclusion to this article. I say this as a pinko commie with very, very lefty politics, particularly when it comes to inequality and taxation. This makes the rest of us on the left look silly.

I know a number of transit agencies require that jake brakes / retarders are turned off during wet conditions. Is there is a measurable risk to traction if the jake engages in the wet, or is that overkill?

Not that it’s particularly relevant, but just as a math question, I wonder what the breakdown is on a traveling with a full bus as opposed to flying in terms of fuel consumption etc. MCI cruisers get something like 7mpg now, but this was 1987, so probably an 8v92 or so. Not a notoriously green motor, especially when…
