I have family friends that owns factories in China and I can attest to the cost saving measures implemented to increase the bottom line. Much of the non tech produces are still manufactured by human labor as opposed to machines. The boxes which holds your cookware at the store, hand fed into a machine stamp. The…

I’m kind of surprise it rolled at all even with a loose wheel. The top speed is about 55, 60 if you push it and the thing is wide as heck. On top of that, this is the naked variant so it is not top heavy like the ones overseas.

From what I recall, the driver and the TC is required to conduct PMCS before operating the vehicle. If the failure was more than just a couple of loose lugnuts, then I agree that the mechanics are at fault.

Yeah, it’s just unsettling when you’re a reserve officer or senior NCO and you hear about something like this happening to soldiers under you. You could be strictest followers of the rules and regulations, but its as if you never did enough once something like this happens. There’s only so much you can do when you are…

As bad as I feel for those soldiers, I feel horrible for the command. From my experience, heads are going to roll in that entire leadership. Someone is going to take the hit for not conducting proper PMCS before movement resulting in loss of limb to a soldier. My guess is that the convoy commander will ultimately take…

One of the rules of the road is that you don’t pass on the right. The road looks clear and the bike had ample space to move over to the left and keep going. He didn’t. He chose to be an asshole with no regards to others.

Of course not. All candidates have to pander to the rich in one form or another. However there are candidates who are not actively trying to screw the middle class or poor. I believe that person is Sanders.

If you actually reviewed the original video where the snapshots were taken, you would realize that the car was on a road in the UK.

The Iraqis were adamant about US forces leaving IIRC.

Why do they even bother with the sedan at this size? The hatch makes so much more sense. It looks better and you can haul more stuff in there. Whats not to like??

I remember when they first introduced this car, they offered a stripped down version at a lower price point to appeal to buyers who prefer to modify their vehicles on their own. This vehicle caters to a small niche of drivers which toyota has a monopoly on right now. I don’t think the intention is to drive profits up,…

This car is marketed towards a younger audience with limited means. Increasing power will mean increasing cost. It’ll also take away from what it is intended for which is less about straight line performance and more about corner taking and slaloming. Toyota has no direct competitors in the 2 door, RWD, hard top coupe…

But it is important. That’s why we have automakers working on how the car sounds when it is driven as opposed to figuring out how to evolve the engine for less fuel consumption. That’s why we get cars like this Camaro, with more horsepower than anyone needs. It is far easier to massage horsepower out of an engine as…

There is no doubt that these engines are pinnacles of engineering, but not much has changed in the last 20 years. Bigger displacement, forced induction, stronger components are the three ingredients engine makers use to chase a higher horsepower number. I feel like Koenigsegg is the only car company experimenting with…

Honestly, its not that hard nowadays to develop a ton of horsepower out of an engine. Its tricky to make it reliable but regardless the solution is always to use a stronger material. I would be more impressed if they manage to produce vehicles that returns 100mpg without e-assist.

Clearly the officer unholstered his spray as a defensive measure for walking up to the truck and his finger accidentally fell on the button while he was stretching his arm.

They tried this already in the past. It failed miserably. Also, wrong size helmets will cause more harm than good. Do they plan on carrying multiple helmets?

Waze navigates roads, not political and social environments.

If I spent $2.5M on a car, that I know cost hundreds of thousands to maintain, and that would take a small army to fix if it broke down, I would not drive it often either. NO ONE needs this much horsepower to have fun on the road let alone the track. I can purchase a 500+ horsepower vehicle for a fraction of the price…

Meh. Its disappointing compared to its predecessors. Those had jobs, antics, and looked like it was a one take. This one is a giant product placement for Dubai and Ford.
