Ford said people won’t buy small trucks. GM and Dodge said people won’t buy small trucks. By your logic Ford is correct and people would not buy a Maverick. Toyota could easily sell the combined amount of 70 series being sold in Japan and Australia in USA alone. And the wait for 70 series is measured in years, not…

I used to motorcycle on that road plenty; still drive it not all that infrequently.

I haven’t quite talked my way out of road cycling - and I commute to work on a bike most days. In town, however, we’re blessed with an extensive protected bike lane / trail network, and my ‘share the road time’ around town can be measured in minutes counted on a single hand.

I had to bike to work for a number of years and I did everything in my power to avoid riding on any main road because when everyone is already going 65 in a 45 they are never going to see you before they hit you.

I’ve done quite a bit of running and cycling in my time and my biggest take away is that if you aren’t in a car, you aren’t safe around cars. I’ve been hit enough to have learned to get my ass on a trail.

That’s been that way for over a decade, I think it might be related to needing space to move in a quake. The surface is solid right? Is that the one over by the spectrum where you take it to get off at Bake/Lake Forest? There are others up in SA that also have that huge gap.

Only off by 63 miles. 🤣

Airbags deployed, how bad does the accident have to be.

I would assume to allow expansion in extreme heat conditions.  The optics aren’t great, for sure.  What was the temperature when this was taken?

“it was a “normal” little cruise”

One more reason I will NEVER let a valet in my car. I worked at a restaurant that had valet parking, and the shit I saw the valets do to cars was insane.

Sounded like he waited a while just to get the car, can’t imagine the owner will get that kind of deal.

As others have mentioned, based on the story, it was already parked, and the attendant decided to take it for a drive, it’s clearly a joy ride.

I think it’s a joy ride in the sense that it was apparently parked perfectly well (Mr. Luck is quoted as saying he watched the valet park the car in front of the restaurant) and the valet took the car onto the streets. Afterward, the reason for the car not being in the parking space up front was that it had to be…

Unfortunately, accidents and damages are a reality of the valet parking industry.

That looks like an expansion joint. That’s a good thing. The problem this article is touching upon is that expansion joints can’t handle how much material expansion is happening when the temperatures are hitting new highs.

Maybe they planned for increasingly extreme temp extremes? IDK for sure, just spitballing, but if the world ever gets so bad that we have snow in LA and extreme heat events in Canada...

Moorhead is not near the South Dakota border, it’s across the river from Fargo, North Dakota.  Might want to look at a map again.

I understood it as it would only run on sustainable fuel, which would make it very un-practical and expensive to run. I now understand it will also run on petrol.

all these comments and no one is lamenting this tragedy???... a sign that this is no longer an car enthusiast site but rather just bland car news outlet. :(
