Is this really what Jalopnik has become? Who cares what some other blog says? It’s not like they have anymore journalistic integrity than you do.

If there is anything good to take away from this, however, it’s that the new Model S finally has a gauge cluster. Tesla has moved the driver information out of the center screen to more effectively use that real estate. A simple glance down to check out things like your speed and your cruise control status is much…

You try controlling a car at that speed and see if you change your tune.

I know, right? Forums could be a little messy UI-wise, but everything was methodically laid out in sub-forums so you could pretty easily search through those and find whatever you needed.

Facebook groups just put everything in mostly order of posting, with no organization whatsoever. How is that a better solution?

No tragedies, and no, I never stole, or even damaged their cars. They just wanted me to focus on school, and putting my summer earnings toward room and board, rather than car insurance and maintenance.

Not saying I fully agree with their tactic, but it was what it was at the time, and I was able to get my engineering…

I just can’t respect a car enthusiast who didn’t buy their first car until they were 19. Any true gearhead has a vehicle by the time the are old enough to drive.

Yep. Used PB Blaster for years. Works great.

As previously said, I doubt they could cool a Hellcat engine in a Wrangler engine bay (the Grand Cherokees have had V8-sized engine bays for ages).

It’s definitely geared towards the bulk of their current buyers: suburban moms who need their pumpkin spice lattes ASAP and there’s a few wet leaves on the roads.

You’d change your tune if you were ever actually forced to drive one of these things.

I agree, but I think bringing camless tech to these cheap garden engines that anyone can work on would be fantastic for anyone wanting to study engine tuning. Having full control over every valve independently would be very useful studying engine timing, fuel injection profiles, emissions, etc.

It’s also remarkable that security teams sent three other guys onto the wing to apprehend the guy — if you’ve ever wondered about the strength of airliner wings, this should be a good demonstration that they’re plenty strong, unaffected by four adults walking along them. I’m sure aerodynamic stresses are far more…

No, but are you having any fun driving getting soaking wet? It’s also no fun showing up to work or any kind of pre-COVID social event soaking wet after you got caught in a rain shower on your way over to show off your new toy.

So you’re telling me this is an electric shooting brake? Where do I sign?

Not true. The original Aptera had crash modeling done, had airbags in the seatbelts (some Fords have this today), and had a very large front crumple zone that deflected impact energy down and underneath the car.

It also placed the batteries along the floor, like most EVs, for lower center of gravity.

I’d imagine all…

I’ve driven an i3, which is heavier than 2000lbs, but does have a full carbon-fiber unibody and basically bicycle tires, and I didn’t notice any bothersome NVH.

Ok, here’s my hot take: the driver of a fast car messes up and wrecks it. It hardly appears intentional or carelessness, just an accident. Why is this “news”?

It’s much less effort, for one thing, and the laser light can get into crevasses that brush bristles can’t reach. The laser is actually burning away the rust, while the brush is just using friction to dislodge it. 

Yep. My father in law has a Mazdaspeed Miata and only kept it for a year or so as the turbo is laggy, but the trasmission is geared so low you’re in sixth at 45mph. It made for awkward power delivery and the low profile tires on the 17s gave it awful ride quality.

Weird. My ‘99 Miata doesn’t have any rust. I take it you live in New England?
