Tail lights, rather than reverse lights, would make it just as easy to find in a dark lot for you, and less confusing for everyone else :)

When you lock/unlock your stupid, fucking GM vehicle at night, it illuminates the headlights, mirror puddle lights, and reverse indicators to illuminate the area around your car.

However, whereas headlights and puddle lights are not used to signal movement, reverse indicators are used to indicate an intent to reverse…

Whatever law it is that allows GM to use reverse indicators as approach/departure lighting. That one is the stupidest.

Meh. That’s an annoying law, but far from the stupidest law.

That’s very true, but those hypercars often have a low drag setting specifically for top speed runs. It’s a valid point, though, that electric vehicles are optimized for efficiency, and that will help with higher speeds. Still, though, 235 is impressive considering drag increases with the square of velocity.

Before everyone comes barreling in here to talk about how pointless “top speed” is for cars in general, and how the battery would last all of 7 seconds at that speed...

...everyone needs to take a step back and realize that this is a pretty damned amazing achievement in general. There are VERY FEW super/hypercars that…

I used to drive hybrid-electric transit buses, and I will say it was GREAT for being able to pull into tight spots in traffic from bus stops (or just when turning into traffic.) Those things would jump up to 20 MPH freakishly quickly. It was a lot of fun to mess with those assholes who would take their sweet time…

Rented a Chrysler Pacifica the other day, and was genuinely impressed with how hard it pulled at ALL speeds. It also was happy to slip the wheels all the way through first gear.

I set the cruise control to my usual 5-8 MPH over, and then make a game of trying (within reason / without driving like an asshole) not to have to touch any of the pedals, but keeping right whenever possible. It gives you something to do because you’re constantly reading the traffic ahead of you to figure out which…

No, that’s called a knee-jerk reaction to a problem that occurs so rarely, that the solution isn’t worth the massive cost/headache/misery that would be required to eliminate it.

It would be like re-routing your gutters because some guy was once killed when his gutter fell down on him as he walked out the front door.…

I feel like it had to be more than just a failure of the right engine (whether it’s additional mechanical failures, or pilot failures) because twin-engined aircraft are supposed to be able to fly, or even continue to climb with only one engine...

I tried to add the “it wouldn’t fit” comment, but Kinja sucks donkey-balls and wouldn’t let me edit it, so I replied to one of the other comments in this tread with a similar comment :P

I’m pretty sure it would have Fit regardless.

Pilot error. They’re out of their Element.

Just installed an AP Racing BBK on my BRZ!

He took out the front left corner of that other car that I stopped in front of on the shoulder :(

Driveable but fender all crumpled, and wheel messed up. But yeah. Fixable. Unlike that POS Honda which probably had a bent frame.

Do you have a link to this information?

Your article is unclear. If tires are the limit, then why will the car “never” hit that speed? All we need is a tire that’s designed to do that. I’m not saying that’s easy, but... your headline makes it sound like there are a BUNCH of reasons why it won’t, however the article only talks about tire forces.

Lol, no need to pay! If you own one long enough, you catch all kinds of stuff. For example, I caught this crash literally the night before that U-Haul one.

Came for physics-defying cars.
Left disappointed.
