If you’re going to bring up armored trains, you have to mention Zaamurets... the train that battled across the world: https://medium.com/war-is-boring/a-remarkable-armored-train-fought-its-way-across-eurasia-db3e3180b50c Maybe need Mazda needs to hire the Czech Legion.
My cat loves those style handles as it make it very easy for him to open the bathroom door when you are in there. Then again he also figured out how to open the knob style, it just takes him longer...
The sad thing is, the Russians went to all this effort but they could have done nothing and the outcome would have been the same.
They will install skylights but when asked about them installing grocery hooks on the passenger side of the dash, they got all upset about me having their email address. When I go out and pickup donuts in my Chiron, I don’t want to leave residue on the passenger seat that could be mistaken for cocaine...again. A simple…
Tariffs absolutely serve a purpose, but just like taxes they never seem to get repealed, just balanced out with either concessions or counter tariffs. Limited regional tariffs to protect specialized trade industry is fine, although often short sighted as it tends to protect industry or companies that need to…
Tariffs in general are stupid, at least Americans are becoming aware they exist. Sadly most American’s don’t seem to realize that protectionism tariffs against American products exist as well. I don’t put much stock in Trump having two brain cells to rub together, but the global market has been tip toeing around the…
I find it disturbing how these trees are tortured to produce this grain structure. Burls, bird’s eye and quilted maple or walnut woods is all just tree torture and needs to stopped. Please join us a PETT (People for the Ethical Treatment of Trees) to stop the these arboreal atrocities.
A manual is available on this and at least one Youtube reviewer tested this and says it’s a lot better than past Toyota manuals (which to me felt like they were constructed out of rubber bands).
Why was Elon so upset? I don’t know, maybe because a Quora post was more factual, nuanced and balanced than anything written by the press about the incident. That Quora post didn’t even get into the politics of the situation going on in Thailand, where the fired governor was using the international coverage and good…
I know a lot of people looked at it thought... “holy crap on a stick Batman, I wouldn’t get in that tube”. But, in order to get the kids through the dive, they had to heavy sedate them and drag them on stretchers. The whole “we taught the kids to swim and dive in a couple days” story was completely misreported as was…
I think Elon needs to take a Twitter break. He did a good thing trying to help with mini-sub and was fried by the media that didn’t bother to do 30 seconds of research to find out the only person (at the time) who claimed it wasn’t wanted or needed was the fired Governor who was using the incident to try to keep…
DX Racer and a couple of other “car-style” seat manufactures sponsor Twitch and Youtube people to use their product. There are seriously, more comfortable options, but getting a free chair or even better a free chair plus a little cash makes up for a little discomfort.
The other issue is cars with rear seats that should just be luggage shelves. Rather than put in unusable seats, think about making that space more usable.
The average soybean farmer is 56 and is 95% likely to be male. I’ll go on a limb and say they fit into Trump’s core demographics. There are 369,332 farms that produce some type of soy in the US. Even if half the farmers own several farms... that is a lot of upset midwesterners.
The company is a basket case, I had 12 or 13 issues with my Model 3 on delivery ranging from body panel fitment to interior not properly attached. At nearly $60k (with my spec), I expect that some QC person would be doing a cursory check of each car that rolls of the assembly line and that clearly wasn’t the case.
Univision, really needed to give everyone hired by Gawker a basic class in journalism and set some ground rules. Unfortunately, they bought the mess and let it go.
Sadly, I used to have a commute that put in that kind of mileage (160 miles of commuting + misc miles). I certainly didn’t do it in an Audi.
My first test drive in a Sync enabled Edge involved it rebooting several times during the drive and the screen becoming unresponsive because the touchscreen wasn’t calibrated. They told me the factory hadn’t sent them a guide how to calibrate the screen and without being able touch the screen, they couldn’t access the…
This is very true, but can also be applied to black people, Chinese and just about every ‘race’ or color identity you can apply to people. People are cowards in general.
Because this is a lot cheaper... that’s the only reason. The average sale price of a Macan (with typical options) is over $70k. If you want the GTS (that competes with this), you are looking at $80-90K. Otherwise the Macan is a better all round car-like CUV.
