Not much passenger cell protrusion and the A-pillar is intact. Great results actually.

It needs to be noted that the situation varies. Typically I would tell you to stay in your car. There was a pretty large pileup a few years ago where almost nobody died- the one person that did for whatever reason got out of her car... and was nailed. I would not get out of the car unless you're sure that traffic…

I'm not sure I'd call that lane splitting. Lane splitting implies filtering your way slowly through traffic (5-10 mph faster than surrounding traffic), like what this lady was doing. Orange Harley-bro was going faster and way beyond his abilities. I think what he's doing is known as "stupid". And he could probably be…

Aluminum components also aren't welded or bolted together like you would expect with steel components. A lot of the time, they are epoxied or riveted. That makes disassembly complicated; what gets worse is putting it all back together again, because new rivets and the epoxy mix packs are quite expensive compared to…

The F40 by itself is probably going to end up being a great investment. How much do you think it will be worth in one or two decades? A LOT.

That is true for many places, but definitely not Chicago. I can recall taking the L and watching (smugly) as we pass by all the poor saps in rush hour traffic.

If you can't distinguish between engineering and science, you've obviously never worked at a automotive company. Being a communications scientist doesn't count.

When I was in Europe, most people either A) didn't know what Canada was or B) thought Canada was a part of America (this was Western Europe, everything between Germany and France and stretching down to the Mediterranean). Certainly they don't really judge us based on our countries. Most people seem more interested in…

I'm going to pick the Beretta over the RX-7, said no one ever

Going in the rental is a bad idea. They will know, and they will ban you for life; that is if you don't cock up, in which case they will not cover damages. Go for a Stage 2 swift at R4R, the deductible increased again this year but you're in a well prepped car and while any damages will likely hurt, it won't destroy…

If Porsche museum pricing is a model to go off by, they're nowhere as bad as Ferrari. Admission to the Porsche museum is cheap, so is the cafe and even the gift shop stuff can be considered reasonable; MB's museum charges far more (though it's a big-ass museum and you get to keep the lanyard they hand out with audio…

America's interstates are festooned with bad engineering and worse maintenance. Haphazardly placed exits, entrances, ramps etc. on both left and right lanes with basically no opportunity to merge unless you floor it and cut someone off like an asshole (leading to a chain of cars braking and starting the downward…

I'd honestly be surprised if rural staffers, who are used to low traffic, comes into DC, are OK with traffic the way it is. I think DC is one of the worst places to drive in the US by far. You'd think that instead of shunning public transit, they'd want to work to improve it. It really says something that America is a…

Live in NYC for a week and then get back to us

Of course, this is all going to come down to the way the production Levante looks, drives and feels when it goes on sale... eventually. But as a more exclusive competitor to the Cayenne and Range Rover Sport, it won't have Jeep roots to drag down its reputation – no matter how good those roots would've been.

late last year and the very very earliest part of this year was a good time to buy GPUs because AMD was clearing out all 7xx0 branded cards, which lead to things like $140 Tahiti LE+ cards. Unfortunately since bitcoin mining has become extremely popular, the prices of all the new AMD cards has gone through the roof so…

That's true. But somehow the Sonata and the Elantra managed to sink their dependability to below VW levels whereas BMW and Mercedes are above industry above... again, is this a case of execution? Maybe they shouldn't have used technology they didn't fully understand? Honda was criticized for not following Hyundai's…

Hitting a curb at 60 mph can (and depending on construction, size, etc.) damage wheels and at many tracks it's discouraged; this is why actual race cars use spec and/or forged wheels. I've done trackdays where cast wheels can crack; at the Nurburgring I witnessed two cars limping in on a tow truck and they had broken…

This is obvious, but that isn't a Sonata. The car you're showing is pretty bland.
