Does that apply to all models though? I think this is specific to 3/Y, as they don’t have the electronic handles of the X/S, which probably also include the defrosters?

I don’t think it necessarily did. If Maria hit the brakes at the last second, she was conceivably only doing 5mph just before the impact, but the RPM drop kicked in the anti-stall, which jumped the car forward violently enough that the impact itself was measured at 35mph or whatever the figure is. I’m not sure she was…

My understanding (and it’s going off memory) is that the truck wasn’t “on track”, but off it, and that the crash happened when she was coming into the pits at the end of a run. I am also under the impression that the rear ramp on the truck was down, sitting parallel to the ground, and just the right (wrong) height for…

BF isn’t a yearly release like you keep going on about. The last one came out nearly 4 years ago.

DC2 Integra, including non-Type R parts. Most parts are interchangeable, and there’s so many out there yet parts are getting harder and harder to find.

The death of Optimus Prime, Transformers The Movie. It traumatised a generation, and led to a complete reversal of the plans of the largest toy company on the planet. To this day you can elicit anxiety and genuine sadness in millions just by mentioning that scene. It signaled the end of the era of real heroes,…

There’s a purpose built cold weather testing facility in the South Island of New Zealand, and it’s hosted testing for vehicles from around the world for years. Obviously if vehicles are being designed and validated in Oz, then doing hot weather in Oz and cold weather at a specific facility in NZ makes sense.  Same for…

I think you guys are all suffering from “desert island” syndrome. You’ve been stranded for so long, abandoned without any food or water, so that when someone comes along with a cup of warm piss and a moldy cracker you’re so grateful you regard it as the greatest meal ever made.

I actually wonder if it’s a word that has now transcended its original meaning in a way. As South Park did with the word “fag”, to a lot of people gay just doesn’t have anything to do with being gay (I mean, I know right...) but is just a generic phrase for something lame. The origins, and the fact the meaning still…

No, but it depends on what you consider “famous and significant”. Your areas of interest will have a big impact on which kiwis you’re familiar with, and which you aren’t, even if to others they’re “famous and significant”.

I think you’re ignoring the fact that he uses his truck for actual work, and so has specific needs in a truck. The cyber truck is definitively a toy, in that it’s either unable or impractical to use as a work truck. 

There’s plenty of cabover trucks with Ute/pickup beds on the back. 

Here in NZ the Ranger has been the best selling vehicle for the last few years, except for when the Hilux wins the odd month. So my main question is how different this is to a Ranger in terms of size and/or equipment. Chances are we’d never see it here - Ford don’t exactly need to bring in a cheaper vehicle just to…

This seems like a stretch too far. The number of black people only watching black networks is small, with most being advertised to on non-black networks. From a business perspective you’d put your money where the audience you’re looking for is, so you’re hitting the majority of poc via non-black owned networks, and…

Jason did a great analysis of EV towing, specific to Tesla, but covers a lot of the same areas, including “just add more battery vs weight” etc.

Porsche 911 people

People keep writing that it’s the same circuit as F1 uses, but it isn’t. Parts have been modified so that it’s different, so direct comparisons aren’t really possible. 

Good question. I don’t think the Home stuff counts as they’ve reset that about 5 times (remember Nest?). Android? Chrome?

The lack of accuracy isn’t great, but it’s a step in the right direction, given how many accidents/issues occur because people are shit at towing and hauling loads.

You’ve stated he’s “of Formula One”, which isn’t correct. He’s not part of Formula1, which has it’s own CEO. He’s the boss of the company that owns F1, but he’s not the F1 CEO.
