25mph = 40km/h. That’s fast enough that when my wife and kids were t-boned by a distracted driver (“just holding onto” their cell phone), the impact crushed the side of her minivan. Our daughter (then 6-years-old) was sitting dead centre in the van. If she had been sitting middle row, passenger side, she would’ve been…

I wonder why this is a problem that bELONgs only to Tesla. Weird.

This will be the most unpopular thing I’ll say today: I can’t put on mass. I was 130lbs when I graduated from high school in 1988. I’m 130lbs today. I go to the gym, I ride, I run, I hike and climb... I just can’t build mass.

It’s the right car, at the right price, for the right person. $60k for a runner with good mechanicals and a good interior is a decent price. The shoddy paint is a bog oversight on the owner’s part.

A couple of years ago I traded time and distance away for safety. My route now adds about two kilometers to my ride but it’s far safer.

I’m not going to watch the video. I’ve been these cyclists and I don’t need to relive my experience.

Everybody cares about design lines. They’re a big part of why you like your car. Some people like curves, some like straight lines and hard edges, some like flowing arches, and on and on. If a line hits your emotions wrong, you won’t like the car.

I also restored a ‘65 Mustang. Mine was interesting. It was a notchback but it had a bunch of dealer-installed goodies that basically turned it into a GT. Fun car. I’ll have another one some day.

Fuck these guys. 

Seriously. And it’s so bad for them. Having all that weight in a static position like that is partially what causes so many problems. 

Ahh. Got it. I live in a place that gets five months of -5C to -40C winter. That establishment would die here. 

Long live the 1957 Ford Fairlane Skyliner. My uncle had one for a while. Keeping the roof operational damn-near required a mechanical engineering degree. Pretty car though.

ACAB

My only complaint is that she hit the wrong thing. Dude should have caught the hammer with his front teeth.

Thank you. I’ve been yelling this from the rooftops for a few years. Battery stations should be analogous to gas stations.

With them, traffic deaths have plummeted. *In 1975 there were 20.6 motor vehicle crash deaths per 100,000 people. In 2022 there were 12.8 deaths per 100,000 people. That’s nearly 1/2 the fatalities per 100,000 people. In the same time the number of miles travelled have exploded from 1.3 million miles travelled in 1975…

ISO standards for mounting systems, charging systems etc... Yes you could get a bad battery. You can also get bad gas at a gas station.

My brother and I LOVED our Stompers. I think they’re in a box in his basement.

2022 Crosstrek. The front camera. My wife was totally ambivalent about it. We go to a lot of places (river put-ins, remote trailheads, our local ski hill with its terrible access, where front clearance is an issue) and the idea that I could see what was directly in front of the front bumper was really appealing to me.…
