International law, specifically the MLC (Maritime Labor Convention), dictates that the country where they are located must provide food and other necessities to the crew if the crew is abandoned by the owner, the expense of which is counted against the owner, or against the selling price when it goes to auction. They…

The Antiguan government should have the yacht spend a week in a US shipyard for “seaworthiness repairs” before sending out to the winner. Leave one bug that is pretty easy to find, another that is not so easy to find, and then enjoy the show as the FSB disassembles the boat screw by screw looking for the rest of the…

You also run the risk of Guryev having you “disappeared” I suspect.

People at gun shows know what guns sound like

Not a slight against Jalops who like Teslas (you’re here because you’ve got an interest in cars, so this wouldn’t apply to you), but this seems to me like a great illustration of some Tesla “stans” - they’re appliance users and hype/gadget enthusiasts first-and-foremost: the fact that he couldn’t even notice that the…

2. becuz late to pickup kids

Counting off the amount saved per mile and then recapping it at the end of a trip, that sounds VERY satisfying as a Dad myself.

Just pull a few fuses or leave them in “valet” mode. Watch as they creep away at 20 mph with the pedal to the floor.

But the Corvette still needs to meet of the same regulations such as bumper and lights height, safety and emissions regulations just like a Toyota Corolla. SUVs get to ignore all these because they are “off road” vehicles. Corvettes don’t get a pass for the one day a year one may take his to the track.

Seriously good wax?  At first I thought it was the old spinner wheels that were the rage for 2 weeks, but then think the floor was really slippery.

Something can be a good product while also being part of the problem. There is such a thing as nuance on the internet, you know.

Two kids and two dogs, you’ll do fine with a Prius or a Bolt.  If you need to tow your house every day of the week, you’ll need a big truck.  But you should be taxed and licensed appropriately for driving such an oversize vehicle.

While I vehemently disagree with the idea of having any preinstalled hardware that needs a subscription to be activated, I do almost like the idea of self driving features being locked behind a paywall so if I don’t want them I can just not have them. I wonder what driver assistance packages are bundled in with the…

Looks like I’ll be adding this to the watchlist, but upvoting in advance. If they’ve pissed off the truckbros, they must be doing/saying something right.

What about that footage was wild?  Three guys got into the cars and slowly idled them off screen.  The situation is wild, but this footage is not.

It’s a flashback to the Bugatti Type 35 that also needed its oil preheated before running.

How often are cars sold right off the showroom floor? If they don’t get sold all that often, an easy solution would be to disconnect the fuel pump on showroom cars. It’s something that could get hooked back up again if the car gets sold, it still lets you turn the car on to demonstrate the car’s electronics, and it…

...because it’s always been a fucking game show? It’s not like they’re finding existing communities on islands somewhere and documenting their way of life.

This is my concern, whether Trump endorses/campaigns for him or not. There are a lot of Republicans who don’t like Trump but who will find DeSantis a whole lot less objectionable because accomplishes the same hateful agenda that Trump and the base wants, without saying the quiet part out loud. 

I read a piece of DeSantis last year that argued that his appeal outside of Florida and a very Trumpian base is pretty slim, and that winning a general election would be difficult for him. That said, I thought the piece generally underestimated how well DeSantis has taken the Trump playbook and run with it. He’s good…
