If it truly is evaporative emissions, I’d be surprised. There’s little or nothing to gain performance wise by trying to skirt those rules. If I were to make a guess, they’re having a problem with a hose or other component that is not keeping the evaporative emissions contained, but if that’s really the case I would…

Car applies brake lights. Car appears to be heading to the shoulder.

I’ve always tossed stuff in my carry-on just to make it quicker and easier to move through screening, but securing your items is also a good reason.

Yup. I’m not pressing the button multiple times because I think it’ll change faster. I’m doing it because I’m either bored or bored and wanting to annoy whoever is walking with me.

No helmet, no cage... what the actual f**k?

According to court records obtained by KSTP-TV, that supervisor still has his job and was actually given a raise and a near $20,000 bonus. The performance review that led to that raise and bonus specifically referenced the fact that “Don Sanders is no longer working for BNSF” and the reduction in slow orders.

Not a damn one. Can a manufacturer guarantee me that their servers managing the subscription service will be up indefinitely? No? Then piss off.

And yet it was a chronic issue for those engines. Just because it’s a “simple” fix doesn’t suddenly make it reliable.

“Concept car”. Ok, so their claims don’t mean squat.

It’s both. These shops are catering to both ends of the spectrum and getting (rightfully) punished for it. Whether you tune a truck to roll coal or simply remove an emissions control; the EPA treats it as the same level of offense. It's not the OEM tune and/or system and not a certified modification (eg, CARB…

I feel like the EPA would be well served trying to mitigate the reason why people are eliminating their emission controls. Yes some people are just assholes, but I would argue the larger population of people doing this are in response to poor reliability and obscene costs of the emission control strategies used in…

The home app also only shows historical data from the thermostats while they have a data connection. If they go offline the cached data from the thermostat is not received like it is with the Nest app.

I’m also finding there are several settings for my outdoor cameras that are not available in the Home app. They’ve got…

Just remember: If you have to tell people how good a job you’re doing or how great your company is... it’s probably not that good or not that great.

Auto pilot aside this is really a failure of the emergency braking system of the car. I know that Tesla removed radar from their vehicles and have relied on vision only, but that was after this 2019 Tesla as built. I saw some suggestion that they killed radar utilization within software that would retroactively affect…

Both are tales of me being young and dumb, but they turned out well enough...

Case A was right after we had a wet and heavy snow. I was cruising along on a section of 4 lane where only the inside lane was clear of the resulting slush. Watching a semi behind me throwing some snow with his truck gave me the bright idea…

You’re kind of mixing up engines there. There’s the Chrysler Slant Six which is not the same as the AMC 4.2/4.0 straight six. Regardless, the engine is the main selling point of an XJ. I also consider its smaller size and off-road capability an advantage.

I was going to say XJ, but you know what... you’re damn right.

Looks like a ML350 and a F150 had a child.

The irony is they already do pay more. Trucks, SUVs and other large platforms are vastly more expensive (sometimes by a factor of two) to purchase and operate. Yet people still buy them.

You most certainly can patent methods and processes. Patents do not just cover physical things. This is not far removed from patenting control or processing methods used in software or even specific applications in how it’s used. This is done all the time.
