I don’t think that was a lucky break necessarily. Mercedes made a bad strategy call and Ferrari knew they were faster than Red Bull so they took advantage of it.

Ironically enough, the example you just made would be a clear cut violation of the Magnuson-Moss Act which prohibits warranties from being contingent on the use of branded parts. Seems like of the two situations really are parallel, this should be a pretty straight forward decision.

Isn’t NBC doing a delayed showing of Melbourne as well? Thought I saw that somewhere.

If Utah had an adequate public transit system, I’d be with you. If the parts of Utah that have a semi-adequate transit system ran their buses and trains to last call, I’d be with you. But they don’t. Personally, i walk to the bar so I’m not too worried, but the state essentially just outlawed drinking to a large…

I’ve never actually seen a thermostat anywhere except the side of the engine block. Seen it on Chevy, Honda, Subaru, dodge, BMW, Saab of course. I actually don’t mind it if isn’t buried.

I don’t know man. Crank bearings are pretty hard to get to.

Yes, hence the “older technology” part of the comment. You don’t fully amortize your R&D until you’ve sold your product for a while.

Here’s the problem. Let’s say trump does away with emissions regs. That means the US will have less stringent standards than any developed nation, but will still have very strict crash standards that will price out developing nations. Any cars made to comply with US standards will really only be able to be sold in the…

More than one country is allowed to be wrong about something.

If you made the same generalization about Americans, I’d agree with you 110 mother fucking percent. We’re fat and most us have the driving competency of a gerbil in his first day of driver’s ed.

I wish I could say the people complaining about the use of the word Asian are just assholes or something, but this is literally what happens every single time we have a mass shooting in the states. We’re so jaded by it that people just immediately start complaining about the media coverage and the politics surrounding…

NASA has been working on electric propulsion for quite a while now. They’ve already flown a few unmanned electric planes and are working to fly a small manned plane (X-57) as early as this year.

God i hate v tails. The amount of yaw instability in turbulence is literally dizzying. The only plane I’ve ever been sick in was a bonanza and it was not a one time thing.

This has been dragged out needlessly since the first comment because nothing you or anyone says in the comments on the internet provides any value whatsoever to society.

Magnusson-Moss was in reference to denying warranty claims for working on your own car. This has nothing to do with warranties. John Deere’s software is essentially locked out to anyone that isn’t John Deere. So like the article says, all diagnostic work must be done by John Deere and even mechanical repairs require…

No it means both of your arguments are meaningless and you’re accomplishing nothing by making them.

I got caught doing it before it was so mainstream.

His point is that just because you see something one way, doesn’t mean he doesn’t see it another. Anecdotal isn’t a negation, it’s a clarification. If he’s seeing this it stands to reason someone else might. His perspective can’t simply be written off because someone else, in reading the 1000+ comments on this…

Those impact guns only run on 100-150 psi. They have to keep them low pressure for exactly this kind of scenario.

Your point is that your own point is meaningless? Well that’s an odd thing to argue.
