Unbelievable. Here we are in the middle of a climate crisis and this volcano thinks it’s a good idea to go off and spew millions of tons of untreated CO2 and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Someone should fine it.  Or maybe it can buy carbon credits from Tesla, then we could actually start laughing at…

I say this as someone who likes driving fast, who owns fast cars, and who is generally skeptical of adding more bureaucracy to our lives:

Used trailers don’t get scrapped for fun. They are usually used alllllll the way up. Till they break in half. Literally. Had a load trailer once break in half. That’s when they go to the scrap yard.

I have a “desk job” in an assembly plant. I’ve worked the line, our accountants have worked the line, HR’s worked the line. We do what we have to do.  Are we welding?  No.  But I can guarantee they didn’t have any old loser start welding tractors together.

Interesting. I went with the just buy a cheap ass old camper that you wouldn’t bat an eye if it fell off the back and disappeared.  So far mine has bushwacked into areas I wouldn’t consider taking anything costing this much.  Over the winter mine might get a hillbilly lift kit to help it go even deeper next summer.  

I’m 8'3”. I only fit in an M1 Abrams, if the hatch is open.

This video goes through a lot of the reasoning if you’re curious

The lap times will go up for a half dozen races then they will start squeaking back down as teams find the edge conditions they can work in.

Then Ferrari will get the rules  changed again. 

Jalopnik writers like little Raph would rather not see it happen.

This is the best take. People with no mechanical skills should not buy RV’s or boats. They will have a miserable ownership experience. Anything that sits on water or wheels with complex one off mechanical and electrical systems is going to need constant maintenance and repairs. Cars have significant investments in R&D…

The scale should be:

People having fun with cars in a way that isn’t unsafe is good actually.

Alanis Morrissette strikes again.

“Ironically, it was a nitro explosion that would claim Lammot du Pont’s life along with five others when an 1884 experiment to accelerate production went horribly wrong.”

In Jalopnik news: A V8 with no mufflers and ITBs sounds like a muscle car.

Elon Erik’s energy is very much that of someone who enjoys sending emails posting articles to all of his employees us readers, which is just to say that his real skills aren’t doing anything in particular or making any kind of product or even dreaming up big ideas, but talking and hyping.

For a 100k car, stylistically it’s as boring as hell. Spending that much I’d want a car that doesn’t make me think of a 2000's Ford Puma

The “let he who is without a sword sell his cloak and buy a sword” quote indicates Jesus was OK with the idea of the church militant.
