So I was close to experiencing this as I headed off to Europe for the 5th time in a year and passport was going to expire in just under 3 months for my return. I was told by nice lady 1 that I wouldn’t be able to go and that I should see nice lady 2. Nice lady 2 looked at the pages of my passport then had a discussion…

Well there really hasn’t been a need to develop such tires. The 250 mph mark was hit and the car industry was like “well that was fun, hey lets make the car go around corners faster and just make sure they can hit 201 mph”. The tech to make a car handle better is not really the same as handling 250+ mph and with no…

The one feature I miss that my newer car doesn’t have that my previous one did is Rain Sensing wipe setting.

I really just want to know why Snoke’s flag ship so much crap? That ship is far more massive than any of the star destroyers but easily gets ripped apart by a single hyperspace speed ship. Vader’s star destroyer in the end of Rogue One has several large rebel ships fly into it at hyperspace speed and they bounce off…

When struck by a suburban how far will it bounce?

Sounds like he can’t pay attention to what he is doing.

Though I like long term reviews I always find a small issue with them. Lets say they do keep these 5 years and determine that car “B” actually turned out to be the best of the group. Well now that 5 years have past and all the cars in the group have now gone through a remodel I am now stuck with comparing all the…

I don’t understand why cars have the option of turning off the lights. You should have the options of Auto or On. If GM can put Auto Light sensors on all the cars they have built since at least 2000 then they must be a damn cheap part by now so everybody should have them.

So how about they use some of that 125 billion they say they waste on nonessential stuff for essential stuff: https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/pentagon-buries-evidence-of-125-billion-in-bureaucratic-waste/2016/12/05/e0668c76-9af6-11e6-a0ed-ab0774c1eaa5_story.html?utm_term=.6d0e042c7932

My current car is my first with a proximity key and you cannot even put the car in gear without the key being in the car. It will run for 10 mins without it in the car so you can still warm it.

In Sebring the Porsche took far too aggressive a line (a very wet line) coming into a sharp corner, as you can see even if the Vette wasn’t there the Porsche was going to crash taking that line. Far to stupid a line to take with over 4 hours left in the race.

The standing are close enough that the 3 point swing in the LB race looks like it could be very important. The Ford team might end up sending Team Porsche a thank you card.

It was car reviewers that taught us that this is what a luxury car should be. From the mid 80s through today all the reviews pushed “road feel”(read as super stiff ride), cornering and high speeds that always end in saying the BMW or MB is the best luxury car and what luxury should be. From that the sales of such car…

It seems that there is 1 in the US (2006 ~77,000) for just $20,000.

It was an aggressive move by the Porsche as it is clearly taking the wet line verses the Corvette on the dry line to pass the Audi. Yes nobody wants to give up the class lead but that was not that was not the time to be hyper aggressive give the tack conditions and the amount of time still left to race.

It could be a new lens for one of the many observatories in AZ

I had the joy of passengers discussing how stupid it is to buy a RWD car in the northeast during a snow storm because “it is nearly impossible to drive any of them when it starts to snow or rain”. This started after we saw a BMW 328xi having trouble. I didn’t tell them till after we got to the hotel without any issues…

The police by me sometimes puts up those message signs telling you that there is a speed trap in X miles ahead. The next day they publish the total number of people caught in that speed trap.

So the total amount will actually be extremely difficult to calculate but the end result should realistically be the end of VW. Why? Well we all know that the USDOT is sick of companies trying to cheat the system and so far most have just been withholding data not actually cheating the system so VW should be hit with…
