The transmission is also what kept the 4C down in sales. But, even more extreme in that case because that car had virtually no appeal to anyone BUT serious enthusiasts.

If a driver wants to compete, let them do it under the Ukrainian flag. If they’re unwilling to do that, then screw ‘em.

I take your point, but the kid has shown himself to be a shit-heel in various ways on many occasions. 

They haven’t been to China since 2019 for, let’s say, various reasons. Anyone’s guess if/when they’ll be back...

I bought a 2013 model in January 2020 for $12,000, with 49,000 miles and a warranty. It now has 72,000 miles. Kinda looks like I could sell it at a profit today....

“a manufacturer cannot, ‘...cause warranty and recall repair work to be performed by any entity other than a new motor vehicle dealer.’”

“But, it doesn’t work wonders for your tires.”

I do it without power steering, because sometimes you have to. Especially when parallel parking.

Fusion only generates energy if the elements in the reaction are lighter than Iron. If you’re rooting through garbage, you can target food waste as it will generally have a lower proportion of heavy elements than say electronics. But single-use plastic bags and junk mail would work quite nicely as well.

Imagine trying to parallel park a Formula 1 car.

Tetrafluoroethane/Pentafluoroethane/ Trifluoroethane or no sale!

I’ve been wondering if they actually deflate and refill the tire with Nitrogen, or if they just top it up from how it comes from factory.

Hot take: We should have raised the gas tax by a dollar in April 2020.

Just this past weekend I wished I was driving my old shitty tank of a car so I could present an immovable object to someone who was being an idiot.

Yes I think the better advice here is “STOP USING YOUR PHONE FOR FIVE HOURS A DAY”

It’s really really hard and very expensive to build a fab. Additional production capacity likely *is* already being built, but it takes a while to get running and it’s not something that any random entrepreneur with five to ten million dollars can accomplish.

It’s easy to imagine occasions where you might like to have your car play music externally, like at a barbeque or beach party or whatever. You know, places where you might otherwise bring a boombox.

My anti-V-day playlist is Total Recall (1990), Starship Troopers, and Crank, accompanied by lots of alcohol. They don’t have to say much about love either way, they’re just maximum silly over-the-top violence, which I feel is ideal for such an occasion. 

I’ve never heard of collision/comprehensive being recommended against. I would infinitely rather repair a current car than have to go shopping for a new car.

This is the same company that made sure you could swap out the entire rear end of their race car in under 15 minutes.
