If you buy one do you get to keep any syringes or guns stuffed in the seat cushions?

You answered your own question.

And why didn’t she call someone any one of her girlfriends who were in the building she just left?

And that was before Subie even invented XMode, amiright!?!?!

Way back when either Car and Driver or Consumer Reports did a test and found that a,tonneau or a cap made a significant difference in gas mileage by cleaning up air flow over the bed. FWIW a canopy was the most efficient.  

it is amazing the way people grasp at straws and use hyperbole to criticize things that are otherwise very easy to be critical of.

Agreed. Also, not sure about the “massive” descriptor on the 64.2 kWh vs. the 58.3...that’s a difference of 5.9kWh, or about 10%.

It’s not apples to apples unfortunately. Because of the design of the cybertruck, it heavily relies on the tonneau area to maintain air flow due to it’s slope. On trucks it’s abrupt so you immediately get turbulent air behind the cab. The bed area is not as crucial for aerodynamics as a result. You might get some…

I have blasted through deeper puddles in my (at the time) 7 year old Xterra and never had a wheel well liner come detached or any electrical issues.

The books are so, so good...best “hard” sci-fi in quite a while.  But dense, so very, very dense...

See, i get this description about the first book, which is arguably essentially just a prologue for the rest of the series, but the second is such a great straight narrative building to an amazing climax. In a perfect world, someone get the first book out of the way in some manner, television or otherwise and to have…

Yeah, if he were whistleblowing on, say, a company that makes concrete pipes? I wouldn’t believe there’s a conspiracy.

I’m not sure this prompted your post, but the Pathfinder has a traditional automatic. I don’t know about the others, but I believe they do too.

The first time I ever heard about CVTs was my dad talking about the heinous reliability of the rubber belt system in Daf’s variomatic transmission, which I think is the OG CVT.

Toyota has two vastly different CVTs. The one you’ll find in a base Corolla is... fine, as CVTs go. Better than most. But the one the put in their hybrids with a planetary gearset shouldn’t even really be called CVTs; it’s an entirely different technology and it’s actually awesome. Sometimes they’re advertised as…

Where I attend college there’s someone who de-restricted the exhaust on their base model 5-series. It sounds like any cheap non-performance turbo 4-banger only obnoxiously loud.

Toyota CVTs employ a launch gear. They claim it is for drivability, but I wouldn’t be surprised if taking the initial load and shock of accelerating by a physical gear rather than a belt/chain help greatly prolong transmission life.

Love an anti-lag crackle coming from a car going at full chat on a race course.

There’s absolutely no reason a car on the street should be making a noise like that.

There’s a BMW in my neighborhood that sounds like gunfire whenever it drives through. I hate it.

I’ve been on her to survey during one of the dreamers that had a plan. 500M+ is a conservative estimate.
