Having just read about cliff diving injuries, and seeing how tall that ship is, he died on impact or shortly after. Hitting water from 100' or more is like hitting concrete.  There are very specific techniques for high diving and I doubt this knew much less tried. 

The CyberCucks strike again. This was an unexpected form of Tomfoolery and I am glad there were no injuries,  although I hope the wank panzer pilot got written up for many traffic violations. 

My parents got the narrowboat bug in the 80s to the point my dad had a subscription to Waterways World.

While undeniably cool the Bugatti rail cars are an evolutionary dead end. Rail technology went electric and diesel and gasoline rail cars faded quickly. Even the top mounted driving cab only features on a few multiple unit trains.

At this point it’s easier to say who is no longer the standard. Cadillac started fading in the 60s and then had tha malaise era. Mercedes and BMW have had to many fragile and unreliable cars and need to claw back from second tier. Worse the Germans have dragged down Rolls-Royce and Bentley since parts commonality inclu…

Nope, Tesla had two good ideas, the power train and the Supercharger network and a truckload of bad ideas. The touchscreen gearshift, crappy interiors, “Full Self Driving”, the ergonomic disaster of the Tesla Semi, the Cybertruck, canceling the Model 2, and build quality issues on par with a Plymouth Volare.

I had that model as kid, even better I aw a real one in the nursery school drop off line. 

Too much money for too much work. $6k would be a fair price for a running driving buggy that needs cosmetic work, not a full on resurrection.  

I’m surprised nobody mentioned Vinfast since their horrible quality has been in the news.

The Ion was a massive disappointment,  I owned and liked an SL2 and the total collapse in quality and design was staggering. 

Unfortunately this individual did not remove himself from the gene pool so he does not meet the criteria,  despite unbelievable stupidity. 

Yes! Although my first reaction to 6 wheel Toronado is GMC Motorhome. 

My wife still carries a torch for our 93 Ford Ranger.  It was our first new vehicle,  and she could see out of it, unlike our current new car which she constantly complains doesn't fit her

The incEl Camino news comes so often I have run out of fresh snark.

A true airport shuttle has at least 3 pairs of doors like the old station wagon conversions.  A Cayenne stretch would pique my interest,  this is meh. 

On the subject of a 350 big block,  according to the Jim's Automotive Machine Shop channel the Pontiac 350 is a downsized 400/455 family engine.  The other small big blocks that come to mind are the Chevy 366 truck engine which is a Mark IV (396, 427, 454 family) and various Ford truck engines. The Ford 330 and 352 FE…

Too bad I canceled Netflix after the last rate increase. No matter how many “baby come back” emails they send, I'll get by with PBS and umpteen old Oregon Field Guide episodes.  

Camping World is vastly overrepresented in the complaints on RV web sites, so I would never buy from them. I have rented trailers, which is actually a good way to do it because storage, repair etc. is somebody else’s problem, and there are situations where a van or trailer is the right answer. I’m looking at minimum…

This is why autonomous taxis are a pipe dream. City streets are the toughest environment for any kind of self driving and why some rival manufacturers don’t even enable the automation on city streets.

It’s interesting how much of a Tesla is software defined and can be fixed by an OTA update. It’s still lipstick on a pig because the wank panzer so fatally flawed as a design that it is irredeemable.
