Passing on a double yellow while riding sport bike is safe in probably 90% of instances save for in the middle of a blind corner or at an intersection. Anyone that thinks otherwise has never ridden one of these machines and has no idea the performance that they offer - they can pass infinitely faster than a 3500 lb…

I totally agree on the factory service manual for domestic vehicles. I bought the factory manual for my 1999 Toyota Solara and I can tell you that it was next to useless outside of providing an order of operations when I did my engine swap. The translations from Japanese to English left much to be desired.

Though I know a lot of people ride in boots of this configuration, I never will again. Admittedly I was wearing work boots not riding boots at the time but when I was involved in a ~25-30mph accident and my leg snapped off at the top of my boot, I vowed to wear the much more protective racing-style boots all the time.…

“There is no keyboard in CarPlay.” This is actually not true. There is a keyboard but you’ll need to set the parking brake to access it. (Or have an aftermarket CarPlay radio like mine and have the parking brake hard-wired.)

Why dont you just drill new holes that match the bracket?

apparently cannot delete comment. posted in wrong thread.

This is precisely why my mother banned “brush guards” from any vehicle of mine when I was 17. Though I could get one now, I am a little wiser. Not wise to the point that I wouldn’t use it, but wise to the point that I know I would so I remove the privilege preemptively.

Though I can understand how you might arrive at that assumption, you are clearly part of the problem. I bet you also assume that it is the responsibility of the highway traffic to give space for traffic entering to merge rather than them yielding to traffic already on the roadway.

In the interest of playing Jalopnik CSI, I have to agree with smalleyxb122 to some extent. I am not going to postulate as to how far apart the lines are but using my superior stopwatch skillz I see that the car behind travels across 6 lines in a little over 2 seconds. The target car travels the same distance in about…

I say #boycottJerry - who's with me?

Great, I'm sure the waitlist just shot up to 2 years. Can't you just tell me about this stuff a week ahead of publishing the article? :)

The video appears to have been altered. The first car through the intersection looks like it has been added in order to mask what actually happened. You can see artifacting ahead if it in the trees just as the BMW's left rear wheel begins crossing the tracks (0:57). The "ghost" car's rear end then appears in frame at…

You're exaggerating. It's only 1.9MB. What's the big deal? #sarcasm.

You're not in grad school...

Actually it is legal to turn left on red in many situations in Michigan. Pg.93 of what every driver must know:

I cannot agree more. The Surface and Surface Pro are both incredible devices. Where they fit functionally is somewhere between my MBA and my iPad Mini. I would love to have one but a Surface (in either form) is a poor replacement for both my tablet and my laptop. It does both better than anything else that does both,…

No, the Cessna would eventually run out of fuel, but a glider would glide FOREVER.

This is neither "bad" driving nor excessively reckless. The problem with his driving is that the people around him are not expecting someone to be driving that quickly. Americans drive like herded cows and pay no attention to things more than 10ft from their car, regardless of their own speed. I guarantee this driver…

Not sure you're ever going to convince these guys of Juran's Law...given an error, 85% of the time it is an error in process, and 15% it is human error. I agree that a root cause analysis is in order and likely a process redesign/improvement is needed. Whether the guy gets his ~$900/week (before taxes) penance while…

Cydia came with iOS6? I want a refund.
