Lemme guess, the tires were off by 1.5 PSI too?

That struck me, too. You have all this shouting, egging the drivers on to race, and then it’s all, “Oh, shit! Oh, fuck! How could this have happened?”

Those guys yelling “You have to! You HAVE to!” are lucky no one got hit and injured/died.

I hate how Biden invaded Ukraine and also told big oil to raise gas prices. He clearly did it. We should impeach him.

I think this reticence is why plenty of people actually tip less up front than they would otherwise, because there’s no legitimate way to tie your tip to the quality of service without tipping cash, which many people are loathe to do for a variety of reasons.

Especially since this is a car blog, gonna advocate: go out into the world, and take a short drive to pick up the food you ordered over the phone or online (through restaurant’s site).

People love getting mad on Twitter.

Uber and Lyft both stepped forward to announce they had disabled surge pricing in the area, and spokespeople the companies said they’d also work to refund people who experienced “unintended charges during this emergency.”

I see people in my neighborhood getting McDonalds delivered, and all I can think is “why are you like this?”.

Oh my God it doesn’t MATTER. The driver is responsible for the safe operation of the vehicle. I don’t care if a pedestrian is dressed in all black and staring at their phone while walking down the middle of the street at night, if you hit them it’s your fault. 

2nd Gear: America, Doing Next To Nothing To Make Roads Safe For Pedestrians, Wonders Why Pedestrian Deaths Continue

I used to work for a company that had offices in Germany, so I got to travel there every once in a while. Every American I knew that relocated there would sweat bullets leading up to their driver’s exams. It’s taken very seriously. It’s because Germans treat driving like a privilege while Americans treat driving like…

“Elements like the cars’ silhouettes and sharply-angled windows are all things that help identify a Lamborghini from the crowd. But so too is the V10 engine at the cars’ heart.” (empahsis mine)

Is it too late for an entry to that Ugliest Wheels list?  Cheese graters slapped onto each wheel do not impress.

Damn, that looks time consuming to clean!

They must have called Elon Musk & asked what he’s naming his next kid.

This truck was announced in 2019. It was supposed to be on sale in late 2021. Then it was in early 2022. Now the report says it will go on sale “in 2023.” Who even knows what that means, but given their track record for stuff that was “supposed” to go on sale at X date, I wouldn’t hold your breath. This thing was…

Looks like something some kids in a uni engineering program taped together for a class project, with not enough time.

Where are road divots coming from? Electric vehicles can be slightly heavier (i.e. Ford Lightning weighs about as much as an F250, and 1000 lbs more than an F150; Tesla Model 3 weights about the same as a BMW 5 series) but they’re still 5-10x less than a ~30,000-40,000 lbs city bus.

At the stop sign at the end of my block cars treat the stop as a yield sign over 60% of the time and nearly 100% of the time when traffic is light. It is not a bike or car thing. It is a people thing. People don’t like to stop if they think they can get away with rolling through. The big difference is that the cyclist…
