I was an automotive engineer at the time this test was being developed. I worked for a major automotive company in R&D and specifically in doors.

For all the disagreement that exists in the automotive space, I think we can all come together on this one:

There are four provinces in Canada that operate public agencies for auto insurance. It’s based on the idea that if the government is going to require people to buy insurance for their cars, they should make sure it’s available at a reasonable price. Some people bitch about it, but I saw my car insurance bill drop by…

During my stint in the Navy I was a technician for an aircraft called affectionately “The Hoover” (a S3 Viking) it had two very large Pratt and Whitney engines attached to it that had the same safe distance.

Remember folks - You have a right to know if you are being detained under suspicion of a crime and WHICH crime. Simply ask - I am free to go? If the answer is not a clear “No” you need to press the question until they tell you EXACTLY why you are being detained (suspicion of a particular crime) or until they admit you…

Hey Tom, I had the same thing happen to me flying from Vegas to Chicago after the summer security conferences. Sent you an email with my DOT complaint against American Airlines. The main difference is that my chair is a folding wheelchair, and not an electric one. Which is interesting in part that they gave me $150…

Why do you think head-on would be any different? Your main point - that modern cars are designed to pass more aggressive crash tests - IS the point of the video, not a repudiation of it. Heavier emphasis on engineering safety into the structure - whether with an overlap test or not - IS WHY THE MALIBU DID SO MUCH…

They make that demand knowing they aren’t getting it. While everyone ogles at that headline, they are negotiating something between 2.5-4%

Commenters have been telling me for a month straight that the UK trial PROVED Depp was guilty of physical violence and abuse against Heard. I guess him winning this case PROVES he didn’t and that she was the primary aggressor!

I was with you until the last sentence. There are a lot of feminists who agree with all your points. Feminism is an overall good.

So we should lie about it when women abuse men because it might make another woman not accuse her abuser? This logic infantilizes women. You don’t need the dreaded, ‘Patriarchy’ on your side to manipulate someone emotionally. You don’t need to be a man to beat or use a weapon on your partner. You’re disrespecting…

They could make F1 a lot more exciting by just grabbing a bunch of old stock from a local tire shop and passing out sets at random to each team.

My wife and I have a five-year-old son and a two-year-old daughter. My wife, myself, and the two kids can easily fit in my car (2016 Mazda6). It gets 40 MPG on the highway and can make it to the Florida state line (at the panhandle) from our home in Kentucky on just over 1 tank of gas.

This deal was worked and approved by the Trump admin’s USPS Board and finalized 31 days into the Biden administration.

which begs the question: “Why the hell are these not EVs then?” it’s literally the perfect use case for EVs since idling does not waste energy like it does in an ICE.

There are 3 problems that plague recycling in America:

I grew up near a tiny marina. My sister and I would walk to it during the summer and hang out. There was an ancient woman in the area that had a giant boat in the front yard that we walked by to the marine. The Boat looked exactly like the Minnow (picture below), including the giant hole.

Fuck it.

Wasn’t even a parking garage, and it was at my regular airport (Denver). We got there late, saw the shuttle bus already near the stop, so we parked the car and ran for it. Along the way I dropped a pin in Google Maps and stopped thinking about it altogether...until we got back from our trip to sunny California. We…
