I still try to downshift when I’m approaching a corner. It’s so ingrained to hit the clutch and downshift that it’s hard not to when I drive the Koenigseggs, the Rimac, or the ID.R.

If I’m in a horror movie, I’m camping in some expensive Italian sports car. I don’t think many horror movies have the budget to smash or burn a Lamborghini so I’d be safe from the villain breaking the windows to pull me out or concocting an elaborate trap where the car gets destroyed with me inside.

Only 4 carriages, likely an empty commuter rail train, looks like it’s running Bombardier BiLevel coaches which utilize both disc brakes and tread brakes, and the train was probably already slowing down when the driver realized there was an obstruction, so this was basically a best case scenario for slowing down a…

You can find residential chargers that people have made available on PlugShare.com. Most residential chargers don’t have any sort of payment functionality but then again most drivers would probably only use a residential charger as a last resort. My buddy listed his home charger on the site over 18 months ago and to…

I haven’t played MTG since 4th edition (back in middle school) because of a similar strat. My friend built a black deck that seemed to consist entirely of Dark Rituals (1 mana, adds 3 mana to your mana pool), Hypnotic Specters (2/2 flying, 3 mana cost, if Hypnotic Specter damages your opponent they discard a card from…

A government expansion for Untitled Goose Game would be so cathartic. I can just imagine some of the objectives:

What really gets me is the number of new isekai shows that aren’t really isekai. There are a few shows out there where the fact the protagonists were teleported from another realm is forgotten after the pilot episode. For example, Wise Man’s Grandchild has the protagonist respawn in a new world as a newborn infant…

Lancia 037

Euro market MPV. It’s an S-Max. Seriously, these are different vehicles sold today despite having the exact same engine options and being within a rounding error on every dimension except for height.

This is my take. Cars have become too ‘normal.’ Nobody is spending cash on outlandish prototypes or chasing niche markets so going to an auto show is about as exciting as visiting a car dealership.

Most carbon taxes include a rebate and are revenue neutral. All money collected is distributed back to everyone equally, so it ends up being a progressive rather than a regressive distribution of funds. People who don’t pollute very much get as much money back as people who pollute a lot, so polluters subsidize those…

I think the newest vehicle in that pic is the Saturn Vue, so it was probably taken in 2001 or a little later.

Neutral: Pay for your damn pollution!

Mid-engined Geo Tracker-esque thing?

My buddy did a round-trip between Toronto and Montreal in a Bolt, a distance of over 500km each way. He had to stop at a DC Fast Charge station halfway, and chose to top up once more on the road just in case he couldn’t find an available charge point when he reached the city, but he managed just fine. His biggest…

Has everybody forgotten about Allison?

Gas motors can and do exhaust carbonaceous particulate matter. It’s believed that diesel motors emit more total PM despite making up a smaller portion of engines on the road, but even that assumption is constantly studied and re-studied with different results.

Are we looking at the same cars? The ID.3 is a handsome car? It looks to me like someone stuck a car in a rock tumbler and forgot about it for a week.

Is there a 1-wide door in the same style as the rest of the windows and doors? I wonder if the designer may have planned on using an asset that was never built or perhaps used one that was built but removed prior to launch when designing the landing.

Somewhere out there, a marketing team is high-fiving each other about how they convinced the public to expect 4WD.
