I forgot all about kids who took them from the school cafeteria for that. The term sledding came to mind really fast, but I wasn’t cool enough to be part of that group to know if that’s right or if I’m just imagining it. 

Where I grew up, doing ‘reverse donuts’ was done by front wheel drive cars and we called them either tornados or cyclones to differentiate the two. Is that a Midwest thing or do other places use that? 

How is Porsche not more popular in the replies? Toyota in the standard of reliability and nothing else. The driving experience and materials are awful and the only reason 90% of buyers put up with them is because the cars run forever and the owner hates driving anyway.

First thought after I saw the front was “I can’t wait to see how they ruin this on the production version.” I hope I’m wrong and BMW is finally going to back to smaller grills, because this one actually looks good. 

Probably closer to 10s of thousands. Accounting for hair, makeup, & nails, I bet you could buy a lightly used E class for what it took to put together that look.

Fortunately for people, there are no recorded orca attacks in the wild, just the ones in captivity. Orcas have very consistent diets and habits that get passed down generationally in the pod and it appears no pod has ever cared about humans (yet). That intelligence, specific diet, and likely rare interactions with…

It’s definitely a case where ‘everyone is an asshole’ in this instance. He deserves a citation/fine for being a jerk in traffic, but the cops are being much bigger assholes for lying in their reports about injuries and keeping their body cams off to cover up their lies.

While technically correct, the DAs still have to cater to a lot of police needs so they don’t “accidentally” ruin future cases for them, especially if the right cops are pushing for charges to happen. The police are a legal mafia with loads of court precedence that they know protects just about any bad behavior, so…

Golfers are the “independent contractors” of the pro sports world. If he doesn’t make his tee time, he gets booted. It’s so wild that with all the money involved in pro golf, they somehow have a system where the #1 ranked athlete is driving they’re own rental car with no idea what’s going on. I don’t think anyone…

This implies the police have any level of self-reflection or even the notion of accepting responsibility for their actions. No major police interaction media says they would ever dare care. 

Also, VW has multiple BEVs, spread across VW, Audi, & Porsche with more coming soon. Ford already sells a BEV in the 2 most popular American segments plus the e-transit. Nissan has been in the modern BEV game just as long as GM, with the main current difference being that Nissan doesn’t do an EV truck. It seems more…

I wonder how they justify letting that Volt tech stay dead when Toyota can’t build the Prime trims of their lineup fast enough.

That last part would be my main concern for how it is implemented. I’ve been in many rentals with a similar feature that showed when I’m speeding, but they are wrong pretty often.

It’s probably a payment thing. He won’t save any money, but he can sell it for more than what he owes and plans to roll that equity into something else. 

If we really want to speak to Americans, it will have to be measured in coffee cups per football field. 

That he doesn’t need to run for POTUS to be a POS. 

It’s not about lights. It’s about a state governor banning local displays that support groups of individuals he happens to hate simply because they exist. He is using banning government resources from showing displays of support for protected classes of citizens. 

That’s the kind of thing that makes sense in the engineering room, but then just gets messy in the public.

VW was so good about using real names for their cars. Why do the BEVs have to follow the letter/number setup of Audi? They aren’t even sorted by size. Actual words for the names of car models are the best names. 

Even more than that. 1 adult who’s holding the hands of 2 kids would be safer than 2 adults letting their kid dance around on the sidewalk. Every little situation like that is something to judge when driving and continues to get more complex the more dense the city.
