This reminds me what is the status of Rivian? I remember everyone was hot under the collar about their release and there was all that investment. It seems like an age since they’ve made an announcement. Maybe I’m just getting too used to Tesla’s constant announcements. 

Do you like beavers? Have you always wanted to drive in a car inspired by beavers? The new BMW 4 series, inspired by beavers driven by people.

I would also point to the many burnt out police vehicles over the last few days. Peaceful protesters I support, even if they disobey civil orders to not be somewhere. However, what we are seeing are looters and violent mobs attacking cops with rocks and molotov’s.

Is the 2020 still extremely laggy and miserable to drive in ‘comfort’ mode? My 2019 S5 was so bad in ‘comfort’ engine mode that I had the ECU flashed to stop in from starting in ‘comfort’ (I will still enable comfort for long highway cruises). Also have they fixed the auto-stop start from shutting off the engine as…

Yes, because I live my life going 0-60. If that was the main factor I would be getting a Taycan or get a GTS and a Model S for the same money. The 911 is a somewhat practical 2 seater everyday driver that is entertaining on the back roads and track without running up huge maintenance bills (assuming you don’t get one…

Since the 996, I’ve never liked the look of the rear fender vent on the Turbos. Personally, I’ve always felt like the Turbo or the Turbo S was more of a golf club flex than a tangible improvement or enhancement of the S or GTS models. It’s an amazing amount of power, but that rear vent combined with the price bump…

I came upon a liter bike that had low sided into a gravel runoff while doing some canyon carving. The rider was fine, but at maybe 5'6, 120lbs he couldn’t lift his bike. After making sure he was alright, I showed him how to lift his bike and get it out of the gravel. Watching him barely able to crawl onto a bike that…

I was looking to buy a new (never titled) 2018 Alfa QV, but as I was going to have to fly to the dealership and it had been sitting on the lot for a year or more, I wanted a mechanic to go over it before I spent the money to book a flight. The dealership wouldn’t agree to having a local shop Ferrari-Maserati shop…

I got my mother a Subaru because she wanted something she could take the dogs in and her Explorer was a piece of crap. Now she loves the Subi so much I couldn’t her to swap it for a Porsche.

As a business owner, I have two minds about this. One, I’m cool with her doing this and would be vary careful to avoid looking it up myself. If my employees, were running around the shop spreading this material, I would tear them a new one (shop guys can’t be reprimanded like white collar workers, I’ve worked in both…

I remember Wilman complaining about Amazon forcing them to shoot in 4K back when Amazon had just signed them. After listening to that interview... 1000 hours of shot per 1 hour of content... damn, I would love to sell them storage.

I hate being forced into a position where my options are a man who fought against Roe v Wade, who actively targeted black men by changing drug laws, who fought for laws to increase MBNA and the credit card industry profits... vs. a failed landlord and reality TV star. I would vote independent if I thought there was…

I could eat buffalo wings every 3rd day and never tire of them. However, the few times I’ve been to the store, virtually none have been available (just the marinated one at the butcher counter). Send them to my house and I will cook them up for the entire neighborhood.

The whole simp culture is bizarre. I think it’s origins relate to the modern American NEET who has become disinclined to pursue a life outside their bedroom and live vicarious through other people online. I seem to recall reading that when it was revealed she had a boyfriend (I may be confusing her with another…

It’s a commuter car. I did one of their prepaid leases for the second gen of this and it cost me less than I spend on coffee. Since I needed something that could sit in the garage for a long time and still start, it was the perfect car. It drove and handled like a Cruze, maybe a bit better, but I never had an issue…

My Dad helped me create one that was a scale Testarosa (this was mid 80s) that was hollow (made out of strips of wood glued together) and it had a rolling weight inside so the weight would shift from the front to the middle as it went down the track. The car was amazing but broke too many rules. Ultimately I ended up…

Cancel the Kardashians or whatever. This Christian Siriano and ilk who are making masks are concerning me. I heard from some RNs about making masks using cotton fabric and I nearly flipped my lid. I have some industrial background and used to deal with N95-P100 masks regularly. Cotton is not a fabric substitute, nor…

Ignoring the minor wordplay between Elon and Bill, I am far more interested in Jason’s use of the word ‘modernity’. Does Jason not know what modernity means and used it because he thinks it has something to do with or related to the modern era? Or, is he making a reference to this being a hyper-realization of…

I was literally going to post the same peeve. In other countries the red turn indicator isn’t allowed and there are actual studies showing it to be unsafe. One of the reasons is your peripheral vision gets used to seeing flashing red lights in traffic next to you from people tapping their brakes and has no reason to…

I can see where the Zagato Aston Martin shooting brake got it’s genesis...
