At least with the ones in the video, a (singular) person thought that was a good idea and went for it. With the actual new Lamborghini models, a gaggle of automotive designers convinced a troop of MBAs that people would “totes like this shit bro.”

Hamilton’s never been great on starts, but you’re right that as soon as they changed it so the driver has to do everything, his starts have all been noticeably worse than everyone else.

Practical. Great mileage. Comfortably seats 5. Lift back. Good performance. Encourages you to hone your wrenching abilities. There is nothing better.

They should resurrect a less notoriously dreadful car than the 928.

I’ve worried at multiple aerospace and military tech companies and can confirm. A custom designed interface card can often force companies to keep long obsolete computers around. And when they so upgrade, they typically just create an emulator that runs the same software as the old computer anyways so you don’t gain…

It sounds like the CA card they’re talking about is a custom designed interface cca that they’d have to re-engineer to get to work with a modern computer. Not a CPU compatibility issue.

Ultimately the solution isn’t much better than the problem. They’re not going to make a modern interface to replace the old one. They’re just going to create a virtual machine or an emulator that will replicate the old interface in software. It will still behave in the exact same way. So the only thing you gain is not…

Considering they were making computers all the way up until they were acquired by HP in 2007 and HP still produces computers under the Compaq brand today, my guess would be that a lot of people will have heard of them.

The grocery store would basically consist of a store, an empty parking lot, and hundreds off autonomous cars deadlocked in traffic they created as they try to circle the block.

Volvo addressed their concerns with their semi autonomous by requiring the driver keep their hands on the wheel, something you complained made it an inferior system. You’re being disingenuous by pretending all semi autonomous systems are the same while also acknowledging that the Volvo system has taken steps to…

So Volvo is slow to react because their level 4 system won’t be done until 2020, but Tesla is on the cutting edge of technology since their level 4 system won’t be done until 2020?

I think the problems you described with the Volvo system perfectly align with they’re stance on such a system. The Volvo system clearly encourages a driver to stay alert since they still have to react in an emergency. The system knows it’s fallible. The Tesla system may be better for a driver that doesn’t want to have…

This exact scenario happened to my wife. A small old Hyundai rear ended her cr-v and basically just went under her rear bumper. The hood slid up exactly the same, the radiator was cracked, and my wife’s car had a slightly damaged bumper.

Lol. Whatever you say. Modern engines will knock. Plain and simple. But we’re talking about Ann engine that runs a 9.5:1 compression ratio and only 8psi max boost. That’s not gonna knock on regular. If the engineers that designed the engine don’t think it’s a problem, some guy on the internet is gonna have a hard time…

Just like the original Top Gear, it took a couple seasons before it felt like you weren’t watching three people that barely know each other try to make scripted banter appear off the cuff.

If your engine doesn’t knock on 87, there’s exactly zero reason to buy anything else, cheapskate or otherwise.

Except where that’s what’s recommended in the manual.

I really don’t think these will fetch a premium in the future. Collectors aren’t going to be clamoring over the incredibly dull diesels that VW couldn’t get too meet regulations and for a couple reasons. 1) There’s just nothing that special about them. This is an issue with meeting new regulations. You can just buy a…

I mean technically, dryers only have spin cycles.
