for this, no. It requires the paint stripped and a redye. Products available to the public I don’t recommend as they don’t offer good reliability, color match and in most cases a finished product that matches the look and feel of OEM. Sadly most products available to me don’t either, and there are more people bad at…

I knew when I read “destroyed” that the finish would be less than a car length.

Paint thinners, then leather polish. Yeah they’ve done a shitty job, but I’ve oversprayed enough crap in my life (seats, phone, self) to know it’s not a massive problem to get a light dusting off.

There are lots of plows (and traffic) in the area I live. If I didn’t pass them I just make a traffic obstruction. The only reason not to pass is very poor road conditions that prevent going the same speed as the plow.

Rarely do I encounter a plow making the first pass, clearing the first lane. There’s usually one or…

This is why you don’t pass a plow truck*

You can pass plows, just not on the right.

The moral of the story is don’t be a jackass trucker. There’s nothing wrong with passing a snow plow.

I’ve passed countless snow plows. I’m not going to sit behind it getting hit by salt. If conditions are bad enough I’ll stay behind it such that I won’t get hit by salt but otherwise I’ll be passing. Furthermore the…

I pass plows all the time. You really can’t compare passing a plow in car with snow tires with a semi trying to pass one in a turn.

For your first question: it’s more like modern cars running Atkinson cycle modes are no longer able to generate enough vacuum for the brake booster and PCV. This is why the throttle butterfly is still required on engines that otherwise wouldn’t really use them. If you can run an electric vacuum pump, you can gain…

For smaller amperage devices, yes this doesn’t matter. But now we have high power systems like hybrid motors, or electronic power steering, or electric supercharger systems. Some of these need 400A at 12v. Drop that to 100A at 48v, and you go from 0000guage to 6 guage.

> 1. In what way is an electric vacuum brake assist more efficient than robbing vacuum of the intake manifold?

Motorcycles have been driven by belt for a while

Copper is heavy. For weight mitigation and packaging, it is advantageous to use smaller wires.

2. Conductivity of copper conductors is very high. Some manufacturers are looking at aluminum conductors to reduce weight, but the conductivity is about 61% less.

I FUCKING LOVE LEARNING. David, we need more articles like this from you. Are you the official Jalopnik Technology Correspondent? If not, that should be your title.

I think it’s more of an interim solution until EV’s become more affordable and the charging infrastructure is ramped up, which will likely take another 20 years.

Because most are either leased or financed by people who have no intention of keeping them for longer than a few years, so having a boring color makes it easy to resell.

We tried hard with this one. Glad you like it!

Other thing I noticed is the fact that if the radio is off, the volume adjust/power but retracts back in. When it’s on (like in the photo) it comes out so that you can adjust the knob

Can we talk about how they turned the air vent grill into the entire dash in a way that looks so fucking good?
