Obviously, having armor is better than not having armor. But if you look at the non-zero population who want to have some protection, but refuse to compromize their look and comfort (which we could well disagree on being the wrong priority, but we aren’t about to convince them otherwise) than this offers them just…

It’s less about making the suspension lighter, and more about making a lighter frame.

Even at $125/wheel, you must be using some very cheap tires for that to double the replacement costs.

Many had the screen built into the rearview mirror. When you’re not in reverse, you can’t tell its there.

Doubled? A set of tires runs around $1k, and they charge me $20-$50 for whatever they have to do to the sensors.

If you were doing the skimming, and had only one unit to install, would you put it on the diesel pump, or the gas one?

Yes, thankfully. If you look further up, Holmer suggest that we start making them so that you won’t be able to.

Trying to think of the last automatic car I drove... Wait still thinking.. hmm. Nope. Forget it, I’m not the right person to ask about these things, I still row my own gears. And as one of those old school, row my gears, make my own coffee, get off my lawn types, I want to be able to turn my stuff off. Like the fuck…

Love that meme!

What was the point in the auto headlights in american cars from that era? I always thought the idea behind auto headlights was to improve aero, so what’s the point in the non aero covers? Is it just to keep the bugs off?

Taking an engine out of gear wont blow the engine, it will just bounce off the limiter for a while. That’s not great for the engine, but it isn’t catastrophic. However, automatic transmission wont always let you take it out of gear, or at least don’t make it obvious that you can.

Because sometimes throttles stick.

How do you go about desiging a component to fail after such a high number of miles? It sounds much more difficult than designing one not to fail.

I’m surprise the BMW I8 didn’t make the list. Between the door release that far too easily broke, and my personal favorite “the hood that needs 2 qualified technicians to open or else it damages your car” it should have been an easy fit.

High speed rail. Really.

Flying cars wont be quiet as terrifying as giving everyone an airplane, provided they can hover (and thus come to a stop, which is something an airplane can’t do) and you have some way of making and assigning lanes (the easiest way probably be augmented reality like overlay of lane markers on the screen, but since I’d…

Now there is a solution whose time has come!

Why not both?

If you have a band, you have a garage to practice in!

If the new owner doesnt put big SWAT letters on the side, he is missing a great opportunity.
