“likely fraudulent”? I mean, mine wanted me to drive through an entire brick wall the other day, so I can believe it’d like eating small kids, too.

Which NY do you speak of? Upstate and Long Island, you need a car. Live in the outer boroughs where subways don’t go and buses can be limited? You probably need a car. Staten Island? Everyone needs a car. Unless you are walking distance from he ferry. Live in some outer borough neighborhoods like Long Island City or…

Good.

Both drivers were in the wrong. I’m willing to bet the Silverado driver could’ve coasted or limped to the side. The semi driver most likely wasn’t paying attention. 

Someone is about to lose his CDL.

Perfect visibility, straight line, already almost out of its lane and no attempt at avoidance?  This driver needs a drug test, BAC test and logbook check...  Either high, drunk or asleep!

If he was on I-10 between Palm Springs and LA, that’s only 13mph above the posted 70mph speed limit. That’s not unusual for traffic in that area.

The screen is downstream from critical functions, in other words, if the screen computer fails, then no other functions are affected, but if an upstream system fails, like the main computer, all critical functions can fail, as well as the screen. The video is proof. Your disbelief is due to your love of the brand, not…

Fortunately motor vehicle laws in the US currently still require brakes and steering to have a mechanical connection to the wheels. Tesla (and some other EV companies) are lobbying to go full fly-by-wire, so the next time this happens could be more interesting.

The NV is basically just a Titan XD, this is a relatively easy conversion.  The dealer that does this is just down the road from me, I’ve seen quite a few of these.  Frankly if you are wanting a 4x4 cargo van, its hard not to consider these for their durability.  The Titan XD wasn’t popular, but it was built with some…

Maybe if Nissan had just sold these in 4x4 right from the factory they would have sold a lot more. If factory 4x4 parts just bolt right on they should have. Not all of them but like the difference between a 2wd and 4wd Titans.

I am sometimes guilty of giving people driving etiquette reeducations on the highway. If i get a chance to pin an aggressive driver into a deep right lane backup I will. I love to bait the guys who are weaving in and out of lanes to get stuck behind something slow.

Unfortunately by today’s standards that’s not all that bad. Lighter than a Mustang, similar to a C8 Corvette, not much more than a new Supra.

This is a good thing and would help in the shorter term but it’s not a permanent solution. Ultimately, every battery that’s made will still need to be dealt with someday. Obviously getting the most possible out of them is ideal but repurposing them doesn't stop them eventually degrading beyond usefulness. A way to…

I used to do work like this. we had a guy at the docks that would call when a container ship full of TV/VCR combos would come in, he would tell me what truck and what highway it was on

Unbelievable... People are using forums and instead of Facebook groups.

Yeah I was waiting for the sarcastic punchline on this, and it never came. 

Yeah, my sympathies are with the people who paid (a lot—they’re not cheap) for epi pens to save their lives and didn’t get them, not with the vandals and thieves that _really_ need a hit of meth and trashed the life-saving pens. They’re not stealing food and blankets to care for their families, they’re just stealing…

This weird apologist take is just bad. These people are thieves, stealing things from OTHER people who legitimately bought something despite the poor economy. This isn’t a stick-it-to-bezos thing. This is impacting folks like you and me who work to pay their bills, then get their hard-earned shit stolen by someone who…
