This tribute to Saab was pretty damn good too, especially given it came later on.

remember when they had journalists with that level of access

Remember when Jalopnik actually wrote stories about how they tested vehicles instead of writing about how a Youtuber made a video about it? 

It wasn’t originated by SpaceX; it’s an old aerospace euphemism.  ;-)

I wish I had this phrase when I was 10 year old:

Seriously, it’s up there. 

“Rapid unscheduled disassembly”

It really is dumb that the only option we get in the states is the Transit and E-Transit now. The Transit Connect and this are perfect for a lot of businesses, like catering, delivery, flower shops, plumbers, and so on. Not everyone needs a full size van. The stupid chicken tax keeps them from being able to easily…

Oh, Andrea de Cesaris. In a fairly brief career, 14 years is not fairly brief!

A poorly modified truck?

Of course it was a bro-dozer.

While spacers are garbage it doesn’t need to be a spacer to cause extra wear. People change stance with terrible wheel offsets also.

Saw in another thread that it could’ve been a wheel spacer causing fatigue on the bearing, and that’s where the failure occurred

I’m always astonished by the inability of the English-speaking world to spell “rogue”, even though Nissan sells some 300,000 of the things per year in the US alone. Given that “rouge” is originally a French word, you’d think the misspelling would be in the opposite direction, but language is always a fascinating unpred…

When do your janky car mods become criminal negligence? Guessing this guy put some ebay spacers on or something dumb which caused this.

This is a cool car but too expensive for what it is and the miles. ND at the current ask.
