Could we go one day without a news story about Elon being stupid, arrogant, or cringeworthy? This would probably require knocking him out and locking him in a Faraday cage but it would be worth it to have 72 hours Musk free as I watch Elon stans lose it on social media. 

Great move, replace that grenadomatic 1.0 Ecoboost with an electric motor that's more powerful and will never break a timing belt.

Home Depot does this almost every year. The slick trick if you go with Makita is to buy a 36V circular saw since the seasonal deal adds two extra 5.0Ah batteries which is around $250 retail.

I’ve seen some Group B era documentaries with drivers talking about the cars,so I hope there's good driving scenes here. I get the sense that strapping into a Group B car was like flying an F104 at low level, alternately exhilarating and terrifying.  

Cool but not $25,000 worth of cool plus extra deductions for the taillights,  wheels and whatever else was done to it. 

I get the impression that something like a block heater for EVs to warm the battery and cabin would be useful in cold climates. Hacking a toaster was asking for a fiery surprise.  

My biggest issue with winter driving is people who think they know how to drive on snow and ice showing they cannot. This is compounded by idiots who think 4WD or “all-season” means they don’t need proper snow tires or chains.

Since the major offenders in my area drive expensive vehicles I will continue to heap opprobrium upon those who cannot be bothered to prepare.  

Yes that was even an issue for the Russian army in early 2022 with BTRs on dry rotted Chinese tires. That's also the biggest concern with post apocalypse bicycles.

I agree the DOT and the Transportation Secretary have the power to offer better working conditions and might even have the budget but Pete Buttigieg is an ex McKinsey MBA who believes in wringing maximum output from workers for minimum compensation so is perfectly OK with mandatory OT etc. and while the DOT gets…

1st gear, I was a little surprised the EV price drop was due to new EV price cuts, I expected the issue to be the perishable battery packs. Unless you’re David Tracy and deliberately buy a Leaf with a roached battery there’s an eexpectation of retaining a significant percentage of original capacity. The rest is…

Mayor Pete is still on paternity leave AFAIK, but ultimately the blame for this lies with Ronald Reagan breaking the PATCO strike in 1981. The major demand in 81 was reduced work hours, and this parallels Joe Biden shutting down the railroad strike over sick time.

The S series does have a time bomb that didn’t turn up for a decade or so. There’s a pin in the differential that can move out of position and grenade the transaxle housing. That's how our 97 SL2 expired by the side of the road in a puddle of ATF. 

The Mehari could be transparent because the body is made of ABS plastic so they could substitute clear for colored. The exception was Germany where the TuV nixed the ABS body as flammable so Fiberfab made the Sherpa with a fiberglass body on Mehari running gear. 

thank you 

ND for the roofline alone. Best guess is $34k is a condition 1 P1800S without all of these questionable modifications. 

Since Kinja is being a poopyhead insert flaming dumpster floating gif here.

I see Tesla is,taking the Porsche approach to options,  charging $25 apiece for tie down cleats that are standard on even the most basic Ford Maverick and pretty much every other pickup for the last 20 years.  The spare tire is,pretty outrageous too, are they mounting it pre runner style in the bed because nobody…

I’m glad neither of my 90s cars made the list but neither was expected to. The twin cam Saturn S series barely qualifies as a performance car and CVH engined Escorts are slow and noisy. Our Saturn SL2 ran for over 20 years before it grenaded the transaxle and had the Escort been Mazda powered I’d have been more…

That’s a much more fun way of taking out the trash than wheeling a bin to the curb.
