I can buy an adapter for less than $2 that will give me 2 USB ports in my lighter adaptor. The least they could do is put 2 ports... Also, what about radar detectors, air pumps, and other equipment that uses the old plug?

Sounds like a shitty job. Why do you do it?

It's neat and all, but I don't see what value it adds over a color manual. Are technicians really having difficulties identifying components on a customer car after seeing their picture on an identical car? If not, then what is the point? Is it cheaper than a color manual? Is it cheaper than a PDF of a color manual?

For bonus fun, picture what will happen if a bearing seized up while the gyro was going full speed.

I was under the impression that tesla put out more than a few videos just like the ones I described.

Since we are all adults, the lives we are worried about savings are those of the driver with a medical problem, but the lives of the other drivers of the track. To date, that number is zero. So you want to spend several hundred dollars per driver, to save zero lives. How does it measure up to seat belts, at $30k per…

Its videos like these that keep me hating the tesla rather than being excited about it. Think your car can out accelerate a viper? Fine, prep both cars, put professional drivers in them, run multiple, documented runs. Think it can turn a faster lap time than a corvette? Fine, do the same thing. Don't show your car go…

I rather liked it. Some people buy a car because they like driving, some buy one because they have to, and others buy one because it helps their image. This commercial says that if you buy an accura, people will think you are the kind of person that thinks deep thoughts about reinventing mankind with wires, black…

Is nothing is sacred anymore? Its they car they had to make terrible product placement for burn notice for, a car that tries far too hard to be cool, fails miserably, and now tries even harder with an absurd engine powering what looks like stock tires. When bugatti made 1000hp, it was an engineering marvel. We're…

A 335d wagon with three pedals

I'm willing to bet that if you were to travel to an alternative universe where they did not invent a radar gun, or other speed measuring equipment, but they do have a fantastic tire wear reading gun, you will find that there is very strict enforcement of tire wear, very strict limits of how worn tires can be, and a…

I see zero car mentions.

Its a fantastic idea, but there are questions of durability. Previous versions of the concept did not do well at high speeds. Also, the properties of the plastic/rubber spring cells degrade over time, with exposure to heat, UV, and every kind of organic solvent that can be found on the road, which means that one day…

Reading stuff like this will make an old man out of me. I swear, back in my day..

pfff, who cares! It doesn't look like a 911, therefor it is not a real Porsche!

How would having your fuel economy displayed on your wrist in addition to the instrument panel is going to make you a better driver?

I realize that city MPG is a complicated beast, and so the system we got is probably as good, or as bad, as any other I could come up with, but for highway MPG, why couldn't we use what the vehicle gets on level ground, at 75f, at 75mph, with the windows up and the ac on full? That's how most people drive, isn't it?…

Step 1. Disable traction control

Chill out, it's not like she tried to lap Manhattan.

Even with the field burning, no one is moving their cars...
