You can’t convince me that BaT is not some elaborate money laundering scheme.

California already trying to get out virtue signaling EV mandates they set. Setting EV mandates with no infrastructure plan or support was destined to be a bad idea.  Biden and Buttagieg came out with massive plans to build 100K charging stations and I think they have built 10....not 10K, but 10.  Hertz took a…

For reference, Stellantis lost almost half its net valuation this year, after recouping over 20 billion last year following the Covid/car production woes/global slump period. Their overall valuation is now lower than when Tavares started, although still higher than the year before. So his presence basically offset all…

F-you about Buc-ee’s. My brother is immobilized with MS. When he and his family travel my sister-in-law has to take him to the restroom. The staff at all of the Buc-ee’s they stop at will clear the woman’s restroom so they can accommodate him and his wife. It gives him and his wife a since of dignity to be treated so…

I’ve been in India, and this doesn’t shock me at all. I’m not familiar with this specific area, and India does vary pretty wildly from state to state and city to city.

Judging by the distance the car went (not far) they probably did try to stop once they saw the bridge was out.

Counterpoint: how stupid do you have to be to continue driving off the edge of a bridge because your GPS told you to

And Google directions is not one of those causes here. With no barricades on the road, this could have happened regardless of what directions someone is using.

Agreed.  If the local authorities couldn’t even be bothered to block off the bridge, how exactly is Google supposed to be aware that the road is closed?

headline should be why an Indian town/region/hwy department didnt baricade a closed bridge. or is google responsible for that?

Exactly, it’s one of those things that until you have actually experienced it in the seat you can’t really wrap your head around. Matt Farrah who I have brought up multiple times before said more or less after a couple of pulls in the Rimac Nevera he was actually getting sick because the acceleration was that insane.

Agreed, I figure the 3 tiers, 400 or less, 400 - 700, and 700+ cover a good range and each step up requires additional training. Tier one, drivers ed, Tier 2 advanced driver training or equivalent, Tier 3 something like race/rally school. Rally school in particular I have heard can be the most beneficial kind of bang…

I’m exhausted with the whole “1,000 hp is the new 500 hp” trend. Every single build you see now had a completely unusable amount of power outside of a drag strip.

I recall this discussion started by Matt Hardigree (Or Torch? I don’t remember) many moons ago, and the number turned out to be 300.

I don’t think I’ve ever had a car with more than 200 hp and so far, that’s been fine.

Keeping this simple and not involving torque or power bands or what have you, 400hp.

FedEx would do their damndest, but when it absolutely, positively has to get there . . . send it with a courier.

Even EGOTers can push out a turd.

Partly, it just works. But secondarily, it’s inconspicuous. There are plenty of other cold shippers that would absolutely draw stares, and stares draw questions, and questions result in delays. And delays kill patients.

It’s amazing. And the poster tagline is 98% accurate.
