We’re all weird in our own wonderful ways.
Aggressive driving or not, tires are never going to last long on a 5800lb SUV that does 0-60 in under five seconds.
In this guy’s defense, the “mechanics” down at Jiffy Lube used to tell him that he needed new tires and nownthat his car doesn’t have an engine, there’s no one he trusts that can inform him.
I do have an amateur garage next to my house. The guy who rents it has two Gen 2 RX-7 drift cars that he works on. Nobody minds as long as he’s not revving the heavily modified, unmuffled monsters all night long. Really, nobody cares.
....You realize you posted this comment on a website dedicated to reporting the news to the exact type of people who would open such a garage, right?
(Off topic but a good teaching opportunity)
It’s probably worth noting that comparing yourself to the kid that eats glue is a poor litmus test to how well you’re doing. You’re expected to compete against your peers (IE other first world countries, not under developed nations). And who knows, maybe that kid who eats glue grows up to own the company that you’re…
“You have it really good here. Even if you’re “poor”, you’re doing better than the people who are in these shitty countries. Your standard of life is far greater than virtually anyone else’s in any third-world country.”
Really? And your reasoning is based on a 500 word article and meme-worthy inset pictures?
You sound…
I don’t think it’s bad here. I think it could be a lot better, since we have things like “universal education” and “enough money for everyone to have healthcare” and we don’t, which is fucked up. India is in the process of figuring out what it’s gonna be in the 21st century.
It’s one of those times when you’re thankful for big government.
On the other hand, if they figure out a way for driver-less cars to work in India, it would probably be safe to say that the technology can be guaranteed to work anywhere else in the world.
True, but the acceleration at 35k is impressive. It’s odd that this test wasn’t at 80k.
I still don’t really understand why trucks aren’t diesel-electrics like locomotives are. And as impractical as a hydrogen infrastructure is, I still say it makes way more sense than a battery-electric long-haul semi that probably needs to waste at least half of its load capacity just to carry its “fuel”, even with the…
35k lbs? Ok, so the empty semi goes pretty well. Now add a typical 40,000 lbs of cargo and see how it goes. Empty runs prove little to nothing about tractor trailers.
I’ve always wondered why they (they) don’t sell external heat sinks for humans. Consider all the dead space on your forehead, which has a huge vein just full of blood radiating heat. Slap an aluminum sink on there with some thermal paste and wear a hat or umbrella so the sun doesn’t transfer heat into your skull —…
80 lbs of cookie crumbs! What kind of cookies are you feeding your kids? :D
You want to put a Charger front end on a Challenger? Are you confused or a madman?
well at least you’re reasonable about your expectations. “i was going in expecting it to become the new best movie i’ve ever seen in my life forever and ever amen but it fell short”
Great idea if Milwaukee stays the F out of Italy and leaves them alone. The bar and shield know how to take care of their market group, but they can’t even sell their own performance bike the v-rod, because the faithful see water cooling as the Devil’s own tears. Plus they know nothing about racing or sport bikes,…
