I'm curious what this would look like with combined GM Silverado/Sierra sales.

One of the unrepaired vehicles was a red 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt that crashed here the night of Oct. 9, killing its 25-year-old driver, Brittany Alfarone. Her mother, Dierdre Betancourt, said she had tried to fix the car twice, but two dealers turned her away.

I don't know if you were just looking to ruffle some feathers with that, but I'll take the bait.

Sorry, "forced" was too strong of wording. Standard procedure IS generally to turn away from the side with the dead engine (left engine out, turn right) as recovering from a turn in the direction of the dead engine can be very difficult. However a left side engine out in a King Air (RH rotating propellers) would…

Pure speculation...But taking off from 1R and having a left side engine out could have forced a turn to the left. Wind is out of the north east, and the combination of an engine-out and turning out of the wind introduces all the ingredients necessary for a stall.

As mentioned by one2one, most magazines use a lateral acceleration number derived from acceleration of an object following a circular path, a = (V^2)/r. Let's crunch some numbers:

Welcome to the new media-born transparency of and constant coverage of typical automotive industry-wide quality control.

I believe they hand control of the QF-16 off to a human remote operator. Even if it was robotic flight control though, I think it would be in their best interest to program degrees of awareness of the threat that they are facing into that drone. Our enemies certainly aren't without some sort of information on the…

The rift is opening!

Prophetic foretelling of oil pressure at 204mph and 707HP?

I kid, I kid.

Meanwhile, the auto industry will become even more inflexible while trying to satisfy regulations, and become more resistant to implementing and developing new - and potentially safer - technology.

The Stratolaunch carrier will be made using the 747's engines and some systems will be retained, but the aircraft will have an almost entirely new airframe. Cool project, and it's definitely happening.

It's not just spare parts. Some of these will be examined and tested for remaining life for research purposes. Taking apart or testing these old airframes is an excellent way to examine how a particular type of aircraft fatigues and wears when it has a lot of flight hours.

If people really wanted to change this, they would contact the people who are the most capable and most likely to listen to local concerns: the state legislature. In the end, it's far too easy for people to click a button and sign a petition looking to one person (in the wrong branch of the government) to solve all…

That Pontiac Stinger concept was also packing a 3.0L Pontiac Super Duty 4-cylinder with a Cosworth DOHC head. Sweet motor, originally designed for use in IMSA prototype racing.

GM started one up at the Corvette 50th Anniversary show in Nashville, I was there and it sounded completely badass.

Yep, it's pretty similar to the Boss 302, just a little cheaper and faster around most tracks. And faster for more laps after the 302's brakes start fading.

To everyone so willing to jump on the GM dogpile:

You're delusional if you think that the company that built the car you're driving right now doesn't have a document that looks very much like this.

The area below a Jalopnik article used to be known for thoughtful commentary, not knee-jerk reactions.

Right now Bentley is trying to convince me that bad new tech is worth more of my money than old tech that works better.

That seems silly to me, and runs against the grain of what I would normally associate with a well established luxury brand.

iPhone: Because you too can use a B&W filter in post to make up for bad color reproduction. And, artsy.

Just the handheld stabilizer they use runs at least $7500. (Looks like a Laforet MōVI)
