Weather extremes? Nordic countries get along quite well with tons of snow and smaller vehicles. Rain and heat don’t matter for trucks vs. cars.

We have space, long distances between towns, big roads, weather extremes, and big parking spaces in the vast majority of the U.S. that just don’t compute from an E.U. perspective

Full size trucks and SUVs make perfect sense in much of the country.

Boeing 737 Max disasterS debacle should’ve been a eye-opener of self-regulation

Railroads have been telling the government they can self regulate... this proves they can not. Wall Street earnings are being put above safety and that has to stop. Time for real fines and real penalties for CEO’s and the board of directors. Maybe even a Tax per share to be paid for investing in a company that threw…

Both springback and crumpling problems are the result of faster work hardening in stainless steel relative to carbon steel. The crumple zone thing is just a math problem. You can certainly account for decreased plastic energy dissipation in the structural design. But if boy wonder already had a product launch before…

It’s almost like Elon Musk is a dumbass with the intellectual depth of a 9 year old and only knows about stainless steel because it’s what the DeLorean from Back To the Future was made out of and it would be le epic bacon if his meme truck was made out of the same thing. 

Am I the only one who finds the Bentayga infinitely cooler than the Urus? The Urus is just a Q8 in a Lamborghini costume with the wrong motor. I don’t care how fast it is.

I will always side with a working class striker, no matter what.
Class consciousness is the only thing that is going to save us from the mess the 99% has gotten into.  The owners of our labour are not our friends.  

Maybe, but we love to see accountability for rising movie stars who typically go on to be entitled fuckboys, and this is probably a good way for Schnapp to learn not to violate a woman’s privacy. If a little shit shared my DM slides, I’d probably be pissed too.

The internal combustion engine is Porsche’s own, the hybrid system is the only spec element of the powertrain.

But his wealth’s not liquid! He can’t just give it to his employees.

Actual Bill Laimbeer: Just hit them a bunch.

she should’ve ran it sideways across the doors for ‘trailside pinstriping’

I bet Kyle’s next sponsor will be some crypto thing or some bullshit like that.

Are they going to bring light trucks fuel economy standards to parity with passenger cars?

By the way, I didn’t really have a favorite. I saw it as a battle between Lewis, the cool and gracious master racer and strategist, and Max, the brash, often rude and too aggressive, but superbly talented racer. Lewis and Mercedes were a little too cool and not willing to take a risk and they paid for it.

If you think F1 is no longer a sport because of questionable officiating decisions, I'm afraid you don't watch many sports.

I’m okay with this, I actually hate generators while camping.

That massive, industrial-looking B pillar really ruins the effect of the suicide doors.
