I realize some people are more... coherent... in emergency situations than others, but anyone who thinks just abandoning the truck to get struck by a freight train instead of reversing and snapping off the crossing gate (and maybe crumpling the front of the vehicle behind them) is the best course of action, probably…

The Supra dude has absolutely no idea what he's talking about. He's embarrassingly uninformed for being a "car guy."

Oof...

Counterpoint: the older one looks better. It has curvier styling that flows better.

Porsche has done the same thing every automaker does during a refresh. “Let’s tighen up those curves! Add some creases! Make it look SHARPER!”

NO. The whole point of the original design was to be curvy and elegant, and it worked, all…

Those people should just buy a 240 then, lol.

I’ve heard nothing but great things about the B58 engine. You do realize the 2000s was two decades ago right? Subaru also hasn’t had head gasket issues in two decades, but you still find people on the internet going on-and-on about that long-resolved problem.

What mechanicals have had issues on this vehicle, out of curiosity?

It isn't that hard to justify at all if you actually drive the two. Nissan can obviously charge a lot less given it's running on essentially the same platform it was running on back in 1876.

I don't give two shits about the cruise industry. I'm just an engineer who wants to see data presented properly. I don't know why you think I'm going "really far" when all I'm saying is that I want to see a comparison that makes more sense. If anything I think it would be more interesting.

Then compare it to the emissions of a flight AND everything else involved in a one-week stay and experience at Disney. That includes your share of the emissions associated with your hotel stay, your transportation around Disney, all of the food you eat, and everything you do (all of the rides, all of the shows, etc.)…

“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.
