Use 93 octane in a car made for 87 octane.

Honestly, most of the dumbest stuff I’ve ever heard about cars comes from enthusiasts and is best summed up as “there’s only one way to enjoy cars, and that’s my way.”

This needs to be a race league YESTERDAY

At least there wasn’t a handcuffed person locked in the police cruiser this time.

Look up your locals’ pay. My entire local department is over $120k after OT. They’re paid plenty.

But the chutzpah is the officer will sue Amtrak for *his* PTSD and the union will push for him to get early retirement.

I’m not anti-cop, but yeah some meathead just cost taxpayers an Explorer.

Literally anything Scotty has said qualifies, including “REV UP YUR ENGINES”

none of the 58 people onboard were injured as a result of the crash

It’s unclear why the officer parked on the tracks”

We need to be paying our police officers more, so that they can afford to hire people who aren’t this goddamn stupid.

Batteries are heavy. Film at 11.

It sounds like Dodge accomplished exactly what they set out to with this car. It’s just too expensive, and I can’t imagine who the target audience would be outside of a small niche of influencers, or weirdos like me.

Cruise was an acquisition by GM, not a spinoff.

Olds did away with things like bright chrome trim, wire wheels and wood paneling” - So Oldsmobile managed to avoid two of the most extreme examples of Detroit’s tacky styling trends: (fake) wire wheels and (fake) wood sides.

There have been several less expensive options on the market already that offer 100 miles of range. Practically nobody bought them.

You can get a Chevy Equinox EV base model with 319 miles stated range for under $30k. In practice (with mostly city driving), mine gets around 330 miles of range.

I’d love an EV with ~100 miles of practical range. It would be great for day-in, day-out driving.
