Thanks for the informative article. I'm going to pick a nit, though. "A fire in a lithium-ion battery isn't just combustion, it is a chemical reaction. " A fire is a chemical reaction.

Makes sense to me. A new house will probably be around for 50+ years. Even if EVs aren't mainstream now, I expect that they will become mainstream within that timeframe.

I use the 12V outlets for my GPS (Which can also run off USB) and my power inverter (Changes the 12V DC to 120V AC), which passengers sometimes use to power a computer.

Re. Site Refresh: I like to keep my browser all the way to the left in my screen, with the Jalopnik logo off of the screen. This allows me to read articles at work without making it quite as obvious that I'm spending my time on a car blog. With the old iteration, the notifications were on the right, so I could…

Does Wawa count? Or Sheetz?

Electrics typically have gearing, in the sense that there is some gearing ratio between the motor and the wheels. But they usually only have one ratio, rather than 5_/

Yup. Apparently the flying crowbar is 1/32 as loud as a Saturn V rocket. Which is still loud enough to rupture your eardrums, but comparing it to a Saturn V rocket is meaningless.

I'm embarrassed to say that this is kinda tempting. Looks like an absolute blast, and it's only 90 minutes away from me. If only I didn't have those student loans to pay off...

Naah, I drive an Impreza wagon. It also happens in my mother's Honda Pilot. And apparently many other modern cars.

The first one. Because that's the part that's actually convenient.

In my car, having the back windows down and the front windows up results in a truly unpleasant pressure pulsation.

RTV6 News reports that Dobyns was arrested in the Indiana correctional facility where he works, and he will be officially charged when he is extradited to Kentucky.

There's a sex offender database. If you google someone in the database, it's often the first thing to come up. There's someone at my engineering firm who's listed on there for kiddie porn. It was the first thing I found when I googled him.

My guess is that the plaque says they've sold 250,000 cars total since opening in 1970, which is still quite impressive. This Link says that Subaru sold 1,238 cars in the entire state of Colorado this May. If Subaru is selling (around) 1,200 cars/month in the state, it is unlikely that one dealership is selling over…

I kinda doubt your numbers. 250,000 cars/year= 685 cars/day. Factor in that they're closed on Sundays, that's actually 800 cars/business day. They're open for an average of 13.25 hours on the days that they're doing business, so that comes out to 60 cars per hour, or one car per minute. I guarantee you that…
