You say that Buell was treated as a cool, exclusive brand, but 10 years back I was looking at getting my motorcycle license and it was hard to get a recommendation for a starter bike that wasn’t a Buell Blast.  It was also nearly the only way to get close to an HD bike for people who weren’t interested in the HD…

The main issue is that organizers behind the Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix take three months out of the year to set up and tear down for a race that lasts one weekend.

50 km/h over is automatically a stunting charge in Ontario. The driver’s license is suspended and the vehicle is impounded. The law came into effect after a spate of street racing deaths.

If this game’s anything like Viscera Cleanup with better physics, I’m in. I try so hard to like Viscera Cleanup Detail but sometimes the janky physics make it more frustrating than fun.

It’s crazy to think that Trump wants to do away with all tariffs, yet he tears up existing deals and imposes unilateral tariffs if a trading partner disagrees with dropping tariffs on a single item. NAFTA allowed free trade of many items yet there were still a few items that were tariffed so the whole deal was thrown…

For the uninitiated, Staplefahrer Klaus:

My guess, given the voltage, is that they’re using a CCS standard plug. If so, it uses a SAE J1772 plug and signalling alongside a DC plug for fast charging.

I’m saying it’s not inconceivable. The controller already has to handle a wide range of voltages and amperages due to cell degradation over the life of the battery, so I doubt either it or the driver would even recognize that 1 cell out of over 8000 was not receiving or providing a charge as long as the rest of the cel…

I can’t comment on how exactly it happened, but both people involved were elderly. I suspect that it was simple absent-mindedness, such as the Infiniti owner getting out of his car, reaching into his pocket to grab the key and press the lock button (because he’s elderly and doesn’t understand the door touch thingy…

If you throw a bad cell away, you need to pay someone to haul it to the landfill and pay for another good cell to replace it in the battery pack. If you place the bad cell in the pack and disconnect it, the customer pays you to take it away and you keep your good cells to to build another pack. If the company is…

In another article it was mentioned that the original driver had the fob in his hand for some reason, but put it down to search for something that had fallen under the seat and lost track of the key. I could understand pulling the fob out of your pocket to lock the car, but abruptly remembering that you were missing…

The Model 3 battery cells have protruding leads that are soldered to a common bus. It’s not inconceivable that damaged cells could have been placed in the pack and not connected to the bus as a way of disposing damaged cells and retaining more working cells for other battery packs. I believe the Model S and X cells…

I doubt they’ll run a roval in the rain either. I believe the biggest issue with running ovals in the rain is the lack of runoff meaning any loss of control puts a car into the wall at high speeds. I agree with running rovals at any track where it can be accommodated and adding a few more road tracks for all-weather…

Anime has already beaten you to the punch. éX-Driver is a show about a future where all cars are autonomous, but an elite team of drivers employ a stable of classic cars, race cars, and rally cars to stop any autonomous vehicles that go rogue by disabling their sensors.

It’s too bad that drivers will still need to go through downtown Windsor to reach the bridge, but the river is at its narrowest there so there’s not a lot they can do. At least the new bridge will hopefully keep 401 traffic on the highway rather than dumping the highway traffic onto city streets to navigate the…

Don’t forget 100 pieces of random junk you collected because they contain the screws and adhesives you need to expand your settlements.

I believe my comment from a previous thread still holds:

The only rodent in gaming worth talking about is Boo, the Miniature Giant Space Hamster from Baldur’s Gate. Are other gaming rodents encouraged to go for the eyes? I think not.

My guess is that it’d be slower. F1 cars produce a lot of downforce but that in turn creates a lot of drag so, given the design of the Ring, I doubt they could make up enough time in corner speed and acceleration over a prototype than they’d lose on the straights.

My grandpa had a couple of MF135s with poorly counterbalanced flappers. I was hoping to find a video of a flapper going tingtahtingtingtingtah as it flapped open and closed at idle, but it seems that manufacturing tolerances have gone up over the past couple of decades.
