Circuit of the Americas feels so long when you're driving it, but on this map, it's nothing.

All you have to do is turn off "mobile access" in the main display options. Once you do that, you can't get into the car with the remote software.

I do a lot of LEGO building and these are almost hilariously complex. Don't get me wrong, it's one hell of an achievement, getting that kind of detail in a LEGO creation that small is truly art. But it also means this is something that LEGO would never build. Not only is it too parts intensive and complex, but it…

Actually, they are. The hood in particular is extremely expensive, as it's a huge clamshell. Not only that, it's easily damaged in just about any collision.

Tesla's advertising budget is practically nil at this point though. They're in the rather enviable position of being supply limited rather than demand limited. Every car they can build is spoken for before it leaves the factory.

Why advertise for orders you can't even fill?

I must be old. I know the photoshopped picture is using Activision's Dragster on the television and the original has Raiders of the Lost Ark. I played both back in the day on my 2600.

Guys, the astronauts had insurance, they didn't have to "create" it in the form of autographs.

This rear roofline is what killed it.

I live in Austin and bought a Model S. The "dealership" can't even talk pricing with you. I had to talk to a salesman out of Denver, who found me a demo in Florida at a very good price, and they shipped the car for me to pick up at the Austin service center. It was technically purchased through California and came…

Best use of a theremin.

Fucking crack pipe and you're hitting it hard here.

Exactly. Insurance is supposed to "make you whole." Which is to say, they are obligated to put you back in a condition that was as good or better than you were in before the incident happened. The dealership has insurance, but in any case they are effectively required to make the customer whole. They are the…

I don't think the two packages are really comparable other than their name.

I am never buying a car called the Patriot that includes "Freedom Drive".

No, I always thought that's what it turned into. A decade and a half of focus groups and designers just pushing to get this kind of thing into production, and I can totally see it.

That's the Royal Knight version, which I never knew existed until now.

No, the problem is that the design stuck around too long and got forced through too many GM focus groups and bean counters. Seriously, look at this video and tell me that's not the Aztek. Here's some more on it.

The problem with the Corvette is the same problem Porsche has with the 911 and Ford has with the Mustang and every other manufacturer has with its iconic cars: people want it to look like it's always looked.

Here's me doing 260 kph on the Autobahn. That's 161 mph. I would have gone faster, but that's as fast as this TT would go. I went a little faster in a 5-series earlier that week, but no photos of that.

First, the headlight fit is a problem because as others have mentioned, the rear of the cover isn't braced and if you lean on it (often done while working in the engine bay), it will bend and no longer fit properly. Luckily, the fix is super easy — you just grab the rear of the cover and pull up until the fit matches…
