Man made horrors beyond our imagining.  

I'm surprised urban fire departments don't have some low profile equipment for garages and tunnels.  An underground mining truck would be a good base for something 2 meters tall with enough tank capacity.  

What ”wokeness" has H-D committed? All I've seen is middle of the road corporate behavior which includes paying lip service to pride month. Personally I don't care because I  don't like Harley Davidsons anyway. 

Lawsuits incoming if Toyota doesn't get their act together.  

Mostly Detroit stuff, an early 90s Ford Tempo rental had a bar in the seat that caused shoulder lain, fortunately I could rent a Probe for the same price. My wife’s 88 Cavalier was pretty bad compared to my 84 Jetta.

On the bright side IR reflective paint is still lighter and simpler than a second roof panel like the old Land Rover tropical roof system.  

I applaud Motor Trend for its Consumer Reports moment, after decades of advertorial articles.

You are so right, I remember an article about 10 years ago that found the 28mm actually had lower rolling resistance. There was also an odd externalities involving US tariffs and tire clearance. There was a similar phenomenon in cars where “handling” meant rock hard springs and rubber band tires mor maximum skid pad g…

I don’t know about the others but a CX-5 is more like $35k these days. I have seriously considered replacing my CX-5 with a Maverick if my short wife considers the visibility acceptable, since that is her big issue with the CX-5

I have decided to start calling Tesla’s SAE level 2 system Full Self Crashing from now on.

It was an observation,  not a complaint. I use the right lane and mostly everything goes fine, 

The private equity and leveraged buyout guys pocket their millions early on and after that they lose interest.  As long as they get their payday going bankrupt is unimportant. 

They could have done a better job with that gearshift, contemporary Daimlers used a short shift lever tucked into a notch in the driver’s seat cushion.

The Cybertruck seems to inspire stupidity and cringe. Over the weekend I saw a black Cybertruck with a Firefly itasha treatment.  On the other hand I also saw a Cybertruck towing a camper. 

An observation on speed is the astonishing number of people who blow by when you have cruise control set to 1mph over the limit.  My wife insists on the low speed due to PTSD and I've found it doesn't make much of a difference time wise. I  do notice brodozers and modified cars pass more aggressively.  I have also…

That sounds less dire than an orphaned Tesla would be. 

Avanti was analog,  pretty much anything could be made given a drawing or sample. 

I wonder if that ship does inter island freight or something because the open fore deck and large crane look very freighter like. 

I think the cloud software is the biggest problem for this and any future car. The same issue exists with computer games when the server goes away.

because it’s a level surface, seats have all sorts of lumps and bumps. Also to address other concerns, 1. old TWA kept their planes much cleaner than today, 2. laying a blanket on the floor covered any residual stuff.
