It would be hilarious if the level crossings were still in use. It would definitely make the racing more exciting. Just imagine the Radio Le Mans guys calling out a battle for position:

Yeah, that seems like an odd complaint to make. 700 hp going through 325 street tires means it’s going to be squirrelly. It was a handful, but I’ve driven it both with a wheel and with a controller and it only took me a couple of corners to get an idea of its limits. I still can’t drive the Emil Frey Jaguar but I…

If that’s the case, doesn’t that call into question the quality/value of the engine in the first place? If everything takes so long to put together, maybe you need a better engine.

the lines were painted in a time of high humidity in southeast Alaska, where Ketchikan is located.

The only issue I found with this system is that it takes a bit of time to unlock all the tiers. Before, as soon as you had the in-game credits to buy a car, you bought the car. Forza 7 is making me wait to buy my Lamborghini Miura.

Just ByKolles for 2017 and a rumor of Ginetta for 2018. The LMP1-Ls are slower than the LMP1-Hs so Le Mans will probably end with Toyota making laps while commentators and fans focus on the fights for position in the GT classes.

Tesla’s key fob is like a toy model of the car where clicking on the roof locks and unlocks the door, and clicking on the frunk or trunk open the respective areas on the car. Since the lock/unlock key is the highest point on the model and the buttons aren’t recessed, I wonder if just walking with the fob jammed into a…

First gear: So, California is a pretty large place, but a lot of people live in LA, SF, SD, etc. that may not have readily available charging options. That’s a lot of people who may need to go a long distance with no way to refuel...

Just bought a C-Max and the plug-in option was a much bigger factor than the Ford nameplate. When I went shopping I knew I was looking only at plug-ins (since I started driving to work after the transit system pissed me off one too many times) but my use case didn’t suit a full electric car. I looked at the Volt,…

Whether or not his assortment of cars is viewed as blight or as a collection (though looking at the state of most of those vehicles I’d skew towards blight), I do wonder about the judgement forcing him to sell his cars. I know that locally, if somebody privately sells too many cars, the government forces them to get a…

I doubt that number includes marketing. For an OK programmer you aren’t paying any less than $6k per month, and a good programmer you’re probably paying closer to $7.5k per month. Once the other costs are amortized over the number of employees, $10k per person per month sounds pretty reasonable just to develop the…

warning shots

For anybody else that’s interested,

The AFK farmers aren’t playing the game. They’re just earning points so that they can buy loot boxes and sell them on the marketplace.

Any chance we could get a direct link to the NTSB findings? Every link in the article is a link to another Jalopnik article while I’d really like to read the actual findings.

If the gameplay is the focus of the game, I’d agree. Open strategy games like Factorio, Anno, or Civ games can be quite different based on the choices the player makes and are ripe for Let’s Play videos. However the game in question, Firewatch, is a very linear, narrated experience. The player might take a different…

I’m just happy that the M6 GTLM is gone. That car really seemed like an anchor holding the various endurance series back unless it received huge BoP benefits. Hopefully this one can play with 911s, Corvettes, and GTs without running extra power, extra fuel, and less weight.

About halfway down one of the first articles there’s a chart of Warranty vs Non-Warranty book hours. The times aren’t even close for some jobs. The main seal cover gaskets are nearly half the hours for warranty work, and the head gaskets subtract about 7 hours for warranty work. Either the non-warranty customers are…

Most sliding glass doors can be lifted out of the channel with minimal effort. Hell, I need to do that to my house every time I have furniture delivered since my front door opens into a tiny entryway that’s not big enough to handle couches or fridges. I only need to unscrew two pieces of weatherstripping and…
