side note: thanks for fixing the comment loading issue, Kinja. 

yeah it’s almost in Caterham/Morgan territory.

throw in a door handle redesign and i’m in. i’ve always hated it.

looks like a god damned Vehicross on the inside. fuck out of here with that nonsense.

yeah except for the early 2000's. those oval buttons never looked good.

i don’t wear a clown wig on the weekend either.

i thought Sterlings were so cool in 1987 when i was 14. i had never actually driven a car and based my opinion on the fact that you could push the radio knobs in and pop them back out when you wanted to turn them.

or even a Honda.

as far as i know, neither Acura nor Honda has ever had any production vehicle with a v8.

Neutral: i wouldn’t want to see nationalization or bailouts. let them fail. some other wealthy asshole/corporation will buy up the assets and have another go. the US economy needs to diversify anyway.

a lot of people wanted traditional car companies to subsidize EV development. that’s exactly what they are doing when they pay Tesla. circle jerks are gross but they make sense.

and look at those modules. so easy to replace when they shit themselves.

*technically a radiator, not a heat sink. There was a prick at Dell that would probably still bitch at me for calling it a heat sink. 

We sold them in the Inspiron line as far back as ‘99 when I worked there. It took a couple more years to make its way into the cheap ass industrial Latitude line. I’ll try to find a picture of the old motherboard. It was like 2 inches of pipe and a heat sink the size of a matchbox. 

Deionized water doesn’t conduct electricity, by definition. And it only corrodes carbon steel. It’s inert when contained in nearly any other material, including stainless steel. That’s why it is used to cool electronics on earth. NASA wanted a product with different freezing/boiling point and expansion/contraction…

the only reason i can think of to do it their way is there must be a high initial quality control failure rate on the cells. i suspect that a lot of them have to be shitcanned before they are even installed in the modules due to some defect at a very basic (maybe even molecular) level. in theory if you make them…

yeah it’s called de-ionized water. Dell has also been using it in even their shittiest laptops for decades.

yeah the ad says 6cyl cummins diesel. my guess is the c8.3, which i know nothing about. the pics show “City Of” on the side, i don’t know what that says about how it was maintained in reality. on the one hand, i want it. on the other hand, i’m a little afraid of what would have to happen in my life to make it a…

Airstreams that have been converted into marijuana trucks.

i wonder if 600k miles is a lot for one of those things.
