Hmm, I dunno. Kinda has the charm of like an Italian Triumph TR6.

...plus an interesting phenomenon of the heavy gear oil on the cogs allows you to “feel” the speed of gear you’re going for, without actually making contact. You are feeling the feedback of the gears’ lube coatings interacting with one another, without actually putting metal to metal. When you do this, you can…

Great stuff. Cultural learning, plus being inspirational to all of us urban weekenders with very limited space to work on cars.

Thank God we’ve got an expert like you here with the perfect solution to this situation. You must be the project lead for the Airborne laser over at Boeing. And here I thought that project was mostly dead. Let me patch you through to the POTUS.

“Can you believe this asshole, showing up 45 minutes late?”

If that’s the strongest case that can be made for how he’ll weigh in on abortion, that’s actually weaker than I expected and might be the best case we could hope for. Roe v. Wade remained intact under Scalia. If this guy is of equal bent, as suggested, he might be the safest pick. Turn this one down, and the next…

You know, there are plenty of things to dislike about the Chevy SSR, but the clever folding hardtop that tucks into a pocket between the cab and bed isn’t one of them. I always admired this and wished they’d offer it on a regular compact truck. Like, if GM made a version of the Colorado with the fun attitude of an old…

My guess is that it’s too low-volume (BRZ and 86 combined) and not profitable enough to justify having different engine variants. I’ve heard sales in general are slow, so we’re probably fortunate enough that they have two trans options and two trim levels. I’m actually wondering if the the new performance pack is…

Good story! Under-powered cars are so under-appreciated!

Gotta say I kinda dig the guy’s taste in art in the form of old tools and equipment:

Yep. I remember bragging to my friends in highschool that I had “buried the needle” on my ‘87 LeSabre. Little did they know that meant I still didn’t even reach 100 mph. Also, the car did not like it one bit and was shaking and rattling like an Apollo capsule re-entry.

Agreed.

Anyone else think FF’s own designers were trolling the company and questioning its legitimacy by literally putting a unicorn horn on the hood of the latest concept car?

This isn’t an issue in my house because I didn’t marry an asshole.

If your 99.8% figure were anywhere close to what I see, there’d be no problem. I estimate that more than 50% of the time I stop at a crosswalk, the traffic in the other lane does not stop—at least one of two cars blow by, minimum. I’ve seen pedestrians nearly get hit as shown in the video.

Here’s an idea:

Off topic, but speaking of unconventional horn use, I recently had to honk my horn to alert the driver of the car BEHIND me in traffic.

That’s a hard instinct to fight. I look in the direction traffic comes from, then look in the direction traffic shouldn’t come from, then I look around to see if anyone saw me looking both ways to cross a one way street, pointing and shaming me.

I don’t think there’s a place in the US this would be considered a death wish.

Indeed. In Florida, the further North you go, the further “South” you get.
