NHTSA's defect investigation funding has been flat for about a decade, and this trend of Big Recalls appears to be the new normal. But will more money really help NHTSA get ahead of things?

1st Gear: The Bolt Aims To Beat The Model III

I'll just leave this here too.

Alfa Romeo had a prototype F1 car with two engines in the 30s, one at the front and the other behind the driver. It was a monster, but the rules changed and it was made non-compliant, requiring a change of plans.

Because controlling something that thrives without the government the way that Victorian monopolies are controlled for their own sake is a swell idea.

Sadly, not everyone realizes that trains are unstoppable.

Yes, but the Tesla owner has to be lucky enough to find that watch in a cereal box first.

And, with this 3x5 card, you now know which of all the six types of haircut you are allowed to have. Now, comply or else.

There are usually two big factors that drive most people to "quit" social networks. Either they feel like it's a pointless time-suck full of bad information and poorly informed friends, or they have an objection to the company behind the network. Both objections are easily resolvable. You can be in control of what…

You missed Quattroruote's Vairano track. Even Ferrari tests its cars on it.

Neutral: Will American Sedans Rebound?

"What on earth was ever attractive about an enormous engine that refused to rev, laughably bad brakes, and seats that were essentially couches.?" How's this different from trucks and SUVs? As a matter of fact, because American sedans have been this crappy, Americans felt natural moving to trucks and SUVs. After…

Until 6 months ago, I usually slept like a log for 7 to 8h. Since then though, my sleep has been choppy, waking up several times during the night, and often for just 5 to 6h. It's been wreaking havoc in my productivity, stamina and mood. Any helpful tip would be much appreciated.

Put it in a Boxster, make it a targa and revive the 914/4! At last with a worthy engine even in the cheaper version.

Buyers beware: since it was supposed to be driven in Siberia, the steel used in teh Niva is not suitable for warm climates. The result is very short durability of important pieces of the chassis and of the power-train. Where I come from, its axles are notorious for giving way rather early, typically at the hubs.

Ergonomics was just a word that the designers of this car rolled their eyes at before shoving another control in an improbable place, like how the hazard light switch is exactly where you think the ignition key should go. Or how the indicator stalk is shorter and harder to reach than the high-beam switch stalk, so…

People in much elsewhere in the world don't buy the largest car just because they can afford it. Rather, they tend to buy the car that'll satisfy their needs, including their aesthetic needs. Particularly in S. America, one would see trucks because the owners actually needed a truck, be it for their line of work or…

Well, the last car I purchased didn't come with one either. In the negotiation, I settled on the dealer offer on the condition that they'd throw in a spare instead of the tire inflation kit. Done. And my IQ is not 174.

With a full tank of gas.
