Where do they get these amazing ideas?

Jeeps in general, but especially Cherokee XJs. I get that they are good platforms to build off roaders on, but people pay stupid money for clean ones just to mess them up.

No really...look at some of the vehicles in Japan that have sliding doors. It’s more about clever packaging. They are costly and complex to develop and you have to have the track. My guess is, Elmo didn’t like the idea of having a visible track (though there have been vehicles where the track is on the inside of the…

I worked on power lift gates and power sliding doors as an engineer for years. We took safety for these kinds of things very seriously. That is why you have big touch strips along the edge of the doors, there are also safety measures built into the motors themselves. When you try to do something this complex, with…

Welding steel sheet metal is a hell of a lot easier than welding cast aluminum. It is also much easier to repair sheet metal post-accident than aluminum castings. It’s just another thing that will lead to more disposable vehicles.

Came here to day this. The DMC-12 is the literal definition of style over substance so much to the point that the Cybertruck is basically trying to copy it.

I have the Z Flip 4, I really like the form factor. It fits very well into my pocket when combined with a minimalist style wallet. The outside screen is nice for quick interactions and skipping tracks or doing the quick 30s skip on a podcast without needing to unlock the phone. My biggest issue has just been it is…

There was a whole group of us that did that at work on a trip to Japan years ago. We were based out of Detroit, but the travel agency had cheaper tickets to fly out of Chicago. Detroit is a major hub for travel to Asia. So it was way cheaper for us to go DTW -> ORD -> DTW -> Japan. So we all had extra flights from…

The Daniel Radcliff Path, which is also fun, because in The Young Doctor’s Note Book, Radcliff plays a younger version of Jon Hamm.

These are the same people stroking their patchy goatees and huffing about “why isn’t there straight pride month?” Bet they are going to roll cis-pride in there soon. But also, sadly there are a lot of ‘LGB’ people who are anti-trans who are probably also “offended” by being called cis.

I would honestly be less worried about space tourism. At least for stuff launched from US soil, you have the FAA to content with. There are also usually at least some sort of abort system. And those guys are gunning for government money, sure they can screw up a lot and still get paid, but killing some people might…

See, when Trump and the Replublicans do it, it is all about protecting our freedoms and doing what the Founding Fathers™ would have wanted. It’s the leebral Demoncrats who are bad! It’s that simple!

When Eddie Griffin crashed an Enzo and joked about it like an idiot.

Robby Gordon has had an interesting carrier. He’s done and won in just about everything stock cars, open wheel, Dakar, Baja, and sports cars.

Stuff like the Lamborghini Urus, the Aston Martin DBX, and Ferrari Purosonague. 4 door SUV things from these guys known for 2-door luxury sports cars just feels wrong. Less wrong for Lamborghini, but it’s still weird as an 80s kid who had a Countach poster.

I like the classic CART battle of Kmart vs Target. Back in the day they had tons of sub-sponsors on those cars related to what they sold, too.

I am going to throw in the original Dodge Intrepid for it’s fabulous lightbar.

Probably in a super efficiency mode at speeds under 55mph without HVAC running. There is no way they do not have their pack design finalized for a 2025 model by now. There is not enough time to do design work, tooling, and testing for some new tech before then.

Ah yes...Tungsten, tone of the densest elements...seems like an appropriate trim level name for a Ram.

The Subaru Outback. It’s pretty much the closest thing you can get to a true wagon for a reasonable price. It’s still basically a Legacy Wagon, just with some plastic cladding and lift. And it has an actually useful sized interior without being huge on the outside.
