I drive a Volt. It’s pretty boring. The Leaf is actively ugly.

Yeah, but does it have a TURBO?!?!

CP all the way. The next generation was a lot nicer-looking, and that would still not be worth $10k in any sane universe.

Mobile 1 cost $25 at WalMart.

They call it synthetic because they’re allowed too.

When you distill it to pure ethanol (maybe even anhydrous if you want to be super ambitious) and then add back in your desired amounts of water and... uh... ‘vodka flavoring’.

If Mobile 1 simply uses a more refined, higher purity version of crude, is it really “synthetic”?

Its slower for them, delays everyone in line (which puts more stress on the workers), incredibly wasteful of plastic...and for what? If you wanted to assemble your own burrito, go grocery shopping and do that shit at home on your own time.

you’re a monster

At least give them the 20%, if not treat them how you would want your boss to treat you if he wanted a lil more out of you.

What is often overlooked is the humble origin of the engine:

This time it was Audi that messed up, producing a commercial for the Chinese market in which a future mother-in-law inspects all of the physical aspects of a bride as she’s standing at the altar—to the horror of all of the people in attendance. As the mother-in-law turns around to leave, seeming satisfied, she…

Tell that to 79-year-old rally driver Rosemary Smith, who could show up a man in an F1 car any day. Maybe we should ask Smith how she feels about mothering DNA, instead of another random dude.

Whose tax dollars paid for those roads? Are any federal or state monies used to upkeep those roads?

Engine output is a tool. The real question is what do you actually NEED. Not “want”.

During wartime Toyo Kogyo produced the Arisaka rifle.

I noticed that there was oil all around the oil filter and engine compartment. It appears that the shop screwed on the filter incorrectly and the oil leaked out all over the place.

Like all the things you think are wonderful, Koalas are secretly violent assholes with sharp teeth and claws.

it’s possible there’d be a whole parallel universe of knockoff Spanish Beetles buzzing around, defiantly and wildly improbably.

It’s a non-trivial amount of power even by modern standards. In its time it was an absolute bonkers amount of power. When even the mainstream Corvette could handily blow past 150mph, the ZR1 was a Kryptonian babyrocket of a car aimed squarely at the supercar manufacturers while still wearing its Clark Kent suit and…
