“This is all despite the cruise industry’s per-passenger carbon emissions more than double that of airlines.”

It helps, but even being the best of drivers won’t help if you’re on entirely the wrong tires (looking at you, summer-tires-in-snow people.)

I think that depends on what you mean by not driving like a dip shit. If you mean, “I have summer tires on my vehicle, so I’m going to park it and not drive at all in the snow,” then sure. If you mean, “Summer tires are okay in the snow if you actually know how to drive," then you can go fuck yourself. Lol.

You know what? When you count on ABS and just mash the pedal, that’s exactly what happens. When you mash the brakes without ABS, the same thing happens. But when you threshold brake and don’t flat spot your tires by locking them up, you tend to stop in a straight line.

Ahh touché. In hindsight 700 tons actual weight really doesn’t make much sense, lol.

It literally says how much it weighs in the article title...?

It’s called the Environmental Protection Agency. My point is that, being it has limited resources, the EPA’s efforts would be much better spent tackling things that are far more destructive to the environment than chasing after individual enthusiasts. This Cummins thing is an excellent example of doing just that. We…

Yes. Handful. Are you suggesting the majority of personal vehicles on the road are 1) owned by enthusiasts, and 2) modified with emissions-defeating tech?

To be clear, fuck people rolling coal, and all that egregious nonsense.

Honestly, in the grand scheme of things that actually affects the environment, the relative handful of enthusiasts modifying their weekend cars isn't really contributing anything at all.

Look... it’s dumb and silly and completely pointless for 99.99% of people and use cases... but can we just enjoy that this is something cars can just... do... now? I mean, a car that can do 250 MPH is equally as useless as this if we’re being honest, but it’s still cool that the car CAN do it.

Thanks! :D

Yeah, no. It is made abundantly clear during the booking process that you should use the same legal name that is on your passport. Abundantly clear. If you're just lazily filling in information for an international flight with the same care as filling out information for your supermarket rewards membership, I can't…

When I was a kid I had a poster of a Caterham on my bedroom wall. A few months ago I finally bought one, so now it would just be the photo I took of MY Caterham!

At least your mistake wasn't out of pure stupidity. I'm glad they fixed yours without charging you up the wazoo.

I have ZERO sympathy for any grown adult that thinks using anything other than your actual name to book a flight is a good idea. This is a case of an idiot paying the price for being an idiot, which is something that doesn’t happen enough these days. I suppose they paid a pretty steep price for their idiocy, but I…

“Police maintain that they were doing their job despite the fact no one should be condemned to death for a traffic violation.”

I actually am such a pessimist that I actively went looking for footage from inside the plane just so I could make an angry comment about all of the idiots trying to grab their luggage. Turns out I forgot that it’s just us Americans that are so stupid/self-centered/materialistic.

To be fair, this sounds more like some wacky CANBUS issue. Vehicles these days run EVERYTHING over their internal network. I remember reading about an F-150 that had a corroded CANBUS connector in the tail light housing and it caused a MYRIAD of problems very similar to what I’m reading here. Everything from…

It's so true that it has become the focus of an award-winning prime-time TV show. I'd say that is considered "talking about it."

That lift-off oversteer is a bitch ;)
