First time I drove a semi-auto 13 speed (Eaton, I think), the delay between the shift command and the shift event seemed weird. But I got used to it. (and drove it in auto. the computer was pretty smart most of the time.)

Yea, the car parts are worth less than the complete car, but not worth less than the car intact without proper proof of ownership.

It’s probably a pneumatic or other kind of remote shifter where the lever is just a switch, not directly connected to the trans.

As a FSAE ICE person, I am both jealous of the Electrics and sad that I am a bit too old to have been doing it as a student when Electrics got fast.

A few years back, a Formula SAE team sent in footage of their test of their frontal crash energy impact attenuator. Lots of teams use a crush rig of some sort. This team strapped someone in the car and crashed it into a wall. This became a well-known example of what not to do, both within and beyond the design judge…

I love em both. I just think the boxy cargo area of the Forester is a bit better for drumkits.

don’t tell Dan who he can and who he cannot be.

The TL;DR on improving this situation was: 1) insurers refused to issue policies on non-compliant tanker ships, 2) mandated tech didn’t involve wasting tank capacity or crude residue (as opposed to “load on top”, the initial attempt), and 3) workers were given financial incentives to report non-compliant…

You ever read about efforts to get tanker companies to comply with waste oil dumping prohibitions?

HE KNOWS WHAT HE HAS. NO LOWBALLERS.

How much for the factory towing package?

Wrong Subaru, Patrick. The answer is Forester.

It’s a Tesla, so it’ll burst into flames when it collides with the atmosphere.

Most rocket launches are mostly “sideways”, as the important thing for getting orbit isn’t altitude, but velocity. You gotta move fast enough tangent to the Earth’s surface so that the ground falls away from you as fast as gravity tries to pull you towards it... kinda.
