They would’ve been content with letting Tesla do its thing with minimal investment in EVs outside of terrible “compliance cars” if it wasn’t for the fallout from Dieselgate and governments trying to dictate which specific technology they want to win in the battle to cut greenhouse gases. So while Tesla was the first…

There’s a black romantic drama coming out next February that I saw previews for when I went to see both “Harriet” and “Queen and Slim”. It’s written by a black woman and stars Lakeith Stanfield and Issa Rae. It’s called “The Photograph” and looks like the kind of movie you’re seeking. Personally I thought Queen and…

His driving “too slowly” behind the safety car was revealed to be some sort of anomaly with the timing system, not anything he did wrong. And iirc, he was cleared of wrongdoing for going across the pit entry line because the damage to his car would’ve made it a hazard if he’d stayed on the track and done another lap…

I was apprehensive about seeing Harriet after hearing about some of the plot decisions, but I decided to see it anyway, and sure enough I actually enjoyed it. It was more “fluff” than I’d prefer in a biographical (or even pseudo-biographical) movie, and I wish they’d made it more like Ava DuVernay did “Selma,” but I…

Sounds like a familiar formula...

We’re a peninsula (2 actually) surrounded by huge bodies of water, with a ridiculous amount of people who love the Confederate flag. Figure out the other state that somewhat shares those characteristics and you’ll know why so many of us are the way we are.

Don’t jinx him. 

The way Tesla’s been going, “fixing” just means making an uglier version...be careful what you wish for...

There’s your problem. We’re in the present still, and because time travel isn’t real, we’re stuck with current battery tech, which is...well...trash. There’s a reason why all EV sports cars are hypercars that have 4-figure hp and weigh over 2 tons. They need to weigh that much to cram in enough batteries to have even…

It’ll also be an amphibious car and cost less than $50,000.

I’m going to assume your question is directed at me both enjoying the movie but being critical of its subject matter. Long story short: I’m black, and also a car enthusiast and engineer. I liked the subject matter, but couldn’t help but notice that the only black person with a speaking role was a janitor in Shelby’s…

We’re all free to enjoy the movie, just like others are free to cast a critical eye towards some of the less-noble things the movie may represent. Personally, I’m doing both...

To be fair, it didn’t seem like she was criticizing the movie itself (aside from the part about Ken’s wife), but rather looking at the time it represented with a critical eye that others might not bother with. As a black guy who loves cars (and is an engineer), I enjoyed the movie, but also noticed how the only black…

I find it strange that they made up the part about Ken being forced to sit out Ford’s first trip to Le Mans, when he actually did race for them that year. The entire movie seemed like a more accurate title would’ve been “Shelby vs. Ferrari” or “Shelby vs. Ford vs. Ferrari” or “Ford’s Ouroboros”. Still, fast, loud,…

You can drive this in both road and racecar guise in GT Sport. I love this little fish-faced thing, and I painted both of mine to look like Kirby, because how could you not with that big mouth it has?

I have a feeling they’ll unfortunately have no trouble finding another job. The turnover rate at their wage level is probably pretty high anyway.

-Bullet-resistant glass

Those high, sloping bed sides make this awful for a work truck. The “bullet-proof” glass and stainless-steel body would just add unnecessary expense for that purpose as well.

Wait, you actually think the Model 3 is cute?! It looks like a Model S (the only good-looking car they’ve ever designed) that’s gone through several generations of inbreeding.
