Dreamcast used 4 Hall Effect sensors. What do they do? They detect magnetic fields, specifically from the bottom of the analog stick.  As long as those sensors still work, the stick will always function as they should.

I was thinking about mentioning this, but the interior is not total lux. The ride is great though and you have a lot of the bells and whistles that lux cars have. I was just looking at resale prices of SS’s like mine (‘17 Orange Blast Metallic, ~13,500 miles) and they are going for what they were list for MSRP which…

GREAT road trip car, especially with MagneRide.

I see your Crown Royal G, and raise you an imported landyacht that is even more obscure, bigger, more luxurious, while still retaining the inconvenience coolness of RHD:

I believe the proper take here is that EA and 2K are just lazy. So screw them for these shitty decisions.

I, for one, can’t wait to see all the resultant bitching & whining from the ever-present contingent of booklicking, cop-fellating, fascist fucks - I mean, reasonable modern-day conservatives - that soil the Jalopnik comment sections.

I still say they belong in the ocean. It’s a safe and legal thrill.

I do believe there is some exception for tiny manufacturers like Morgan and Caterham, although I am too lazy to look up details. Brands like Subaru certainly do not qualify though.

Same thing with the new Nissan Z, the new Subaru BRZ, and so on. Too ‘dirty’. Soon, there will only be new plugin hybrid and EV crossovers/hatches/wagons available in Europe. Whether we like it or not.

I am all for the save the manuals, save the V8/10/12 movement, and can’t we have both. but my lord I hate rolling coal

Back in the day, circa 1978, I needed the central AC in my house replaced and was offered a deal on an Airtemp system. I declined because Airtemp had been a subsidiary of Chrysler and I had such bad luck with two Plymouths that I did not want to buy anything made by a company that Chrysler owned or had owned in the…

And don’t forget the wonderful monstrosity that was the A57 Multibank engine — produced in response to a time-critical requirement for a rear-mounted engine for the M3 and M4 tanks; it was a 30-cylinder engine that was essentially five 4.1-liter L-head inline-six engines arranged around a central shaft. In the…

A couple jobs ago I used to be a health inspector, and I was blown away when I saw a Chrysler walk-in cooler during an inspection at a Plumbers’ & Pipefitters’ Union golf course snack bar. I knew GM had Frigidaire back in the day, but didn’t know Chrysler did refrigeration too.

They also made air raid sirens

Playmobil does an awfully good impression of David Tracy helping wrench on your VW, Torch...

I can see a Lotus engineer on vacation stumbling into a Toyota dealership.

“Ned, put down the epoxy. You know that new engine you’re looking for? Well, listen to this!”

Isn’t Michael Keaton like, 70? Is he going to wear an onion on his utility belt?

Came here for this, thank you.  First time I ever saw this it broke my brain.

Pantograph arms are pretty common, especially on trucks.  My 1980 Firebird has a pantograph on the driver’s side.  This is the first time I’ve ever seen in on a single arm, though.

All I could see in this video was the GT Sport Tokyo track...
