It may be understandable but it’s not confidence inspiring.

Teslas are fast but you can’t use the amount of power required to get those acceleration numbers for very long. A P100d carries the equivalent energy of 3 gallons of gas and will limit power output due to overheating the battery within 1 lap of an average racetrack.

I for one am shocked, shocked I tell you, to learn that VWs are unreliable.

Using brick or block is MUCH worse in a tornado then a wood framed house. Brick and block are terrible in earthquakes too. The only natural disaster where a block house survives better then wood is a hurricane but they both have problems with those so it’s not a slam dunk. Wood framed houses are more energy efficient

An internal memo prepared in March 2000 by the Mississippi Chemical Corporation, an agricultural fertilizer supplier, states that early talks to supply Takata with ammonium nitrate fell apart over liability issues. A handwritten note on the memo notes: “Send letter informing them about explosion hazard.”

What you want is the “curved” style drawbar. It will get you the length and height you need when towing with a car. Like this one

I was just thinking that ramp was ridiculously long for how steep it looks but I’ll be damned, he nearly made it to the top.

Because it’s only a matter of time before some news article comes along and quotes “according to the Freight Transport Association, 79% of women...” Now there is a new “fact” in existence that will be repeated endlessly with no idea of its origins as a pile of garbage.

Sure there was a change, FCA included new strongly worded text in their dealer agreement. I’m sure that will solve everything.

Ford 3/4 tons? I know those can be programmed by the dealer to chime at certain speeds.

Yes, it’s either 80 or 100 kph depending on the truck. The trucks speed limit is on a sticker on the back of the truck.

What speed you get your best mileage at is very vehicle dependent. I’ve done the experiment you suggested before and there is no noticeable change in mileage (it only reads to the nearest mpg) between 45 and 60 mph in sixth gear. Why? Because with variable valve timing you can get lower pumping losses to make up for

That’s the problem, you can’t just throw a solid axle on a unibody vehicle.

I HAVE HAD IT WITH THESE MOTHERFUCKING CRICKETS ON THIS MOTHERFUCKING TRAIN!

This is the most thorough investigative reporting I have ever seen on Jalopnik. I mean there’s interviews, charts, statistical analysis, it’s got everything.

Training doesn’t seem important until you throw the wrong switch at the wrong time and burn up the pump, making the entire truck inoperable.

Would you choose a vehicle that disappears for 50 days out of the year?

I’ve seen this report come up maybe a half dozen times and every single reporter has made this same mistake. It’s almost like it’s willful ignorance. It’s also noting new, GM was releasing the same statistics when they introduced the volt.

You do realize village is an actual term for an incorporated municipality, right? To then go on about other peoples ignorance is astounding.
