A secondary myth of Horsepower.

They were necessary on the 300SL. I would argue that there has never been another successful implementation of gullwing doors. They’re just pure gimmick. 

Now playing

It is a song about a car, a one of a kind car to be exact.

Having no idea when I began watching Gymkhana. As something that seems like it has always been, it is excellent hearing about its beginning.

As a Tesla owner I don’t defend the statement that they had FSD engaged... It looks like a disengagement occurred because they weren’t paying attention or fell asleep, the vehicle pulled over and came to a stop, and it didn’t happen very fast... Looking forward to the release of the data. But I will also say that

Absolutely, the Tesla is still very much in the wrong here. I just get tired of seeing people drive with the mentality of filling all the empty space in front of their car, and then treating pileup crashes (usually due to weather) as an inevitability.

Alright, I was on the Tesla bashing train for a good while when this news broke, but now that I watch the video I see less “FSD is to blame!” than hundreds of people being used to following too closely while traveling too fast and being distracted.

I just did the math on one in California. With 32 cents per kWh electricity I found the operating tcost o be far more than natural gas.  I'm all for it in theory as the air quality where I live is wretched. In practice, we need much cheaper electricity to make it remotely affordable. 

Heat pumps are expensive, and don’t work well in cold weather.  Cool, sure.  But in much of the US, they are a scam.  People pay a fortune for them and then have to pay super high heating bills.

Heat pumps are great, as long as you have a reliable electrical source which California does not have.

Evil had to exist for a hero to rise.

Here. I’ll help everyone out....because I love you

And I will never understand why carmakers thing that people who want a manual want every bell and whistle on even the base model. I’d never want to prevent people like you from getting all of the features you want, but I definitely want them to be optional so that I can still get a car without them and you can add

For context:

Yeah, a lot of Toyotas and Hondas out here. There are still tuned up racers out here rolling around.

Im totally comfortable doing anything on a car from the outside in. BUT... When it gets to the engine block and trans... I’m cuuuuhlueless. I’ve never touched the bottom end or transmission on a car. I’ve pulled and rebuilt a half dozen heads from a 1979 to 2015, done all that. But my greatest fear is a rod bearing

This is a HORRIBLE idea. If these “employees” do not proactively do some serious policing there will be hordes more criminals and DEFINITELY lots more drugs on the street...... How about people stop breaking the freaking law and just obey basic driving privileges, then you won’t worry about being pulled over and maybe

V6 FWD = 164hp

You mean in the gif at the top where he’s warming up the tires in the burnout box? Did you watch the video?

Kill Infiniti instead.
