Eh, it’s India.  I wouldn’t expect anything less.

You missed the point. Backup power systems are of course in place.

And this is why you always put the wheels or another backup method of restraint below the car in addition to using jack stands, with the hydraulic jack in place, locked on, with slight clearance to light pressure on the jack point or the side of the car you’re working on.

I can’t even imagine how bad it would be having open heart surgery or the like when a quake strikes. I wonder if the robotic surgery systems have built in safeties to address this?

‘N’o!

FWIW you can still (for now) get the VW Golf Sportwagen and Alltrack with a manual.

Jason,

Andrew, did you use a coffee mug to trace those circles?

My hot take is that tint is always ugly and annoying. ALWAYS.

Explain how developing an equivalent replacement or replacements (that would fulfill the various stealthy roles that the F-35 is intended to fill) would cost less than finishing the relatively few bugs left in the program?

Car roof load ratings are typically dynamic - as in while the car is moving.

Given all the vehicles that come with debossing today - many more than 10 years ago - this is hardly a forgotten method of badging.  It’s resurgent and currently extremely popular, especially among trucks.

This is hilarious and not nearly starred enough.

Kill it, it’s Fyre!

Found it

... Why do you think so?

The Veyron was grounded to the ground and therefore could not be found

Also, I believe this car falls firmly in the ‘wagon’ bin. It has side cargo windows and the roof covers more than half of the cargo area, so by Jason’s Rules of Wagonhood, it’s a wagon.

BMW’s competing version will be called the ‘Brake Coupé’. Or maybe, if they’re feeling conservative, the ‘Sportwagon Coupé’.

That’s how I felt in 2008-ish at the NAIAS on a slow weekday. I brought my Pentax 645. An awesome lady at the Lotus booth saw my camera, said “You should be in here,” and let me in behind the rope. I got to spend a good 5-10 minutes up close with a couple of Elises, which was beyond cool for college me.
