F1 intends to migrate tire designs to larger wheels and lower profile designs at the behest of tire manufacturers. The move is not a technical improvement but an attempt to make F1 tires look more like what high performance cars are equipped with. As it is in most forms of motorsport the wheels are small and the…

Evidently no one at Fitch has never been to Texas. First of all nearly half of all Texan sales are pickups, large SUV’s and off road vehicles such as Jeeps. Good luck on developing an electric alternative to these vehicles. I regularly go to our condo in Vail. Two thirds of the trip is the 716 miles to get out of…

This doesn’t seem to hard. All of you journos have a vested interested in sharing the mpg figures with your readers right? During one of these boondoggles why don’t all of you get together and pinky swear to each other to limit your individual reviews just to cosmetics and avoid any mention of performance. Each…

74mph is the speed at impact accompanied by “shitttt”. I bet the car was driving 95+. At that speed you can drop 20mph with a hard stab at the brakes. Conscious drivers flying at 74mph have few fatalities as they can quickly burn off a lot of speed before impact. Those driving 95mph have little margin for error.

Keep the windshield the same; why add minvan elements that don’t add space? For the rear use front hinged doors which are cheaper, easier to install, you avoid the need for electrical actuators and front hinging will make access to the rear much easier. Tesla’s low floor coupled with a Magic Seat license from Honda…

The original inventor of the GFI didn’t have much selling the product until he used his own daughter in demonstrations held a industry exhibitions. Once show goers saw that it really worked when it had too the concept was adopted and the rest was history.

Costco now has a 55" LG OLED for $1999. Why not buy the best? I just installed a 78" Samsung curved and it is still tempting. One thing, it is so good that it can reveal how much compression the program suppliers (as in all of them) are compressing the content. The demo materials do show what it can do but don’t…

You beat me to it. We have 3 Panasonic Toasters and they all work great. They have a frozen setting useful to bachelors who keep a frozen loaf of bread in the freezer. Press “frozen” and set your toaster setting and it is toasted perfectly. It’s a miracle.

Anyone who can’t see the artistic majesty of womens beach volleyball must be gay... not that there is anything wrong with that.

I’ve read that the passenger door was also an option. If you don’t have a seat why get the door?

mrbwa1 you surely understand...

The focus of the comment was that the CRX Si had technical specifications far above its weight. The light weight coupe with 91 fuel injected horsepower yielded a car that was fun to drive within your commute especially when you caught posers off guard. Mine had 15” BBS wheels, Recaro black and white logo seats,…

Compare the CRX specifications with the same model year Porsche 911. A few things are on different ends but many specifications are the same and dimensions were similar. I didn’t convince my friend with the 911 that my ‘85 CRX Si was almost the same car for one third the price. I certainly didn’t see how he was going…

As an owner of a MY2000 ML320 I can agree that some of the engineering was obviously driven by price however the overall design has yet to be matched. It had an overall length of 181”, 2 inches longer than a current day Honda Civic. Within this fairly short body it had a comparatively long wheelbase of 111”, 2 inches…

Agreed. It is hard enough to make good ideas work, to attempt to force bad ideas to work takes and inordinate amount of time and energy which apparently some Gizmodo readers have.

I’ve worked in application development for several years and finding talented developers who are willing to work 40 hours/week for $100k/yr is not easy. I expect most game developers would hate having to spend two years replacing a mainframe application which will draw accolades from no one. There are network gurus…

The Waring Pro WMK300A Professional Stainless-Steel Belgian Waffle Maker is a great single 1200w flip over type waffle iron that is also one of the cheapest alternatives. Avoid the double sided waffle makers (incl. Waring) like the Kitchenaid that only have 1400w. Sure they can cook the waffles if you can wait and…

I don't doubt that CarMax has paid some outrageous claims however they cannot deny gravity forever. There are dozens maybe hundreds of third party warranty companies that are no longer in business whose business models followed that used by CarMax. It always starts like this: set your rates on how much the car…

You must be on the CarMax payroll. Do any research on third party warranties and you find few happy customers who had to exercise the warranty. One thing to note is that manufacturer's extended warranty is negotiable and can be purchased from any authorized dealer. I bought my MB in Houston and bought the extended…

Decades ago most US sports facilities for professional sports were privately funded. Most of the soccer stadiums built in the UK are privately funded. Many of these stadiums seat 80,000 fans and have luxury suites just like US football stadiums do. Those that have studied the effect of stadium construction most…
