Clearly the implication of money gets you treated differently. If some asshat did the same thing in a toyota corolla, the police would have had guns drawn, ripped out of the car, and foot on the face while cuffing them, asking questions later. The guy goes to get back in the car and the cop just kind of yells at him. 

Your math is wrong. If 20% of the earths population (7.7 billion) gets it (1.54 billion infected) with a 1% kill rate, there would be 15.4 million dead from this.

This is a double life saver. At least 3 less people will die via bike and who knows how many will be spared from Covid19

3 cylinder hybrid? Pssh, my Honda Insight did that 20 years ago. 

My horror story of shady used car sales man. Found a Subaru Impreza 2.5 RS for a bargain on ebay. I put in a feeler bid and accidentally won it on a Friday afternoon. I was at Michigan Tech (northern UP), car was in Jersey. The listing appeared as a private sale. Called my dad up and told him we were going on a road…

This is pretty common in Europe. My company, SKF built a new lab in Schweinfurt, Germany a few years ago, and in the process, found something like 15 or so unexplored WWII bombs during construction.

I had a 92 civic and it was amazing at how much stuff I could fit in there. The ultimate was I was able to fit an H22a engine in the back for a project I was doing. It just barely fit through the clam shell, and I was probably exceeding the weight capacity for the car, but I made it home, and the engine made its way…

Having any Alcohol in your system is a big no no at GM when your’re in a test vehicle. That is enough to be fired. 

I can only imagine how awful these 25 year old vans smell like on the inside. Every german I meet from work personally keeps Phillip Morris afloat with their chain smoking.

This photo looks like it was taken at the NAIAS. I took almost an identical picture to this when I visited the autoshow circa 7th grade. 

If we’re talking about the RX7, the most beautiful panel cut is the door frame. That swoop. 

The true founder of the modern Cannonball run, Yates, did it in protest to the 55 mph speed limits of the time. His rational/ethos was speed does not make for dangerous driving. The rates of accidents on the autobahn back that up. 

Having had 2 del Sols and a first gen Honda Insight, its amazing what will fit in a small space with a little creativity. For my del Sol’s I would take the passenger seat out and was able to fit a regular road bike in its place with both wheels off. I would just put the wheels next to the bike and raced the bike all…

If you could charge while driving, then yeah, it doesn’t matter, but to save battery life, yes, aerodynamics are important, probally even more so then in ICE since if you run low on gas, you can refill in 5 minutes at a gas station at nearly every busy intersection across america. When it takes an hour plus to…

These pictures of a giant cab-up-front design are a pipe dream. All teslas up to this point still have a “frounk” and to eliminate it in a truck would be stupid. Keeping the “engine compartment” design would be a selling point over other pickups. With the frounk, you can have dry storage that’s not the cabin where…

That all depends on what flat bed the Giulia is strapped to this week.

Actually due to conservation of momentum, that is actually a good thing. As parts go flying, some of the momentum continues in the headlights, reducing the overall momentum of the car, meaning energy to stop the car. P=mv, and F=m*a are the two key equations. 

The interior looks like it has a peanut allergy and it just drove through the Jiffy factory. 

I love the number of people on here from snowy climates who have allseasons and everyone starts their argument as “They not that bad”. That’s like starting an argument with your wife saying “You’re not that ugly” Either she is or she isn’t.

South East Michigan roads were bad last night, but people with crappy tires were the real issue. It took me 80 minutes to drive 7 miles. It was one solid line of cars with people getting stuck on the smallest of inclines. Remember most tires these days placed on new cars are designed for minimum rolling resistance…
