It was Chuck’s last week on the line and gave zero fucks towards proper torque wrench technique.

Wife and two kids on Evergreen Terrace?
Ned Flanders circa 1989 - whenever Maude died.

I realize he doesn’t have an engineering degree, but the man is an engineer in my eyes. As I understand, he helps solve technical problems by offering his insight, just as an engineering manager does. 

“There’s also a 10-speed automatic available if you’re into that sort of thing.”

Matt Farah recently tested the 992 Carrera S Cabrio and stated: (I’m paraphrasing here) that we should reward manufacturers that make good manual transmissions by buying them. Well, here we are... we’ve bitched that the “enthusiast” choice is slowly dying, and that the future will be grim and electric. This is our…

My favorite heat exchanger is my wife, who can somehow pile on three blankets and still absorb all my body heat by touching my leg with a single icy foot.

no they didnt. people fucking hated it when it came out and still hate it because the turn signals dont tend to be in the same place.  damn near every reviewer noted how awful the turn signals were. top gear made fun of them every single time they drove a ferrari. esp when james was in the 458 

Musk and his team of designers who don’t actually drive suffer from the delusion that change for its own sake equals progress.

I just don’t get it. With the stalk I can stick my left pinky out as I turn the wheel and flick the blinkers on almost automatically.

This is design hubris.

trek still has their frames designed by their own people and they have their own QA people at the giant factory.  thats like saying TSMC makes all amds chips. they make alot of peoples things but amd still provides designs and their own engineers for qa. 

They do the communal cameral thing in some facilities, but these places are huge, and you gotta have your work phone, and all phones have cameras so... now its “please don’t take pictures thnx”

When the Bronco leaks came out, like got really annoying at work. I’m in preproduction builds and I usually take a lot of photos of the quality of the parts or interference issues, etc... to show to management or whatever team needs to help with the fix. When the leak happened, everyone got paranoid about who was…

You can absolutely divulge that Munro had purchased and sold Tesla stock this year without giving a jackass like Niedermayer any credence.

Munro having stock in a car company whose image he shapes (whether he realizes it or not) is something I felt we should discuss, especially since Jalopnik plans to continue to cover Munro’s findings. 

I’m assuming Aston is going to charge a trillion dollars for customers to do this, so it probably works better for them financially this way. But yes, it’d be nice to be able to choose a less heinous M4 grille.

not a bad idea but also has a high cost of testing the various configs

“This could all have been avoided by the federal government paying everybody to stay at home.”

Give GM a little credit here. We’re talking about a huge company that not too long ago made some utter pieces of shit on wheels and had a serious badge engineering problem. What they are doing here is not only a complete re-brand but a complete product and service portfolio replacement. That is amazingly difficult for…

10 grand on Autotrader in San Diego, 2005 with <80k miles, plenty of room for a big dog, not boring:
