Manual is great. Hatch or die though. 

And all of this could’ve been avoided if they just went with the South Korean logo, of which I’ve seen a few badge swaps

I know nobody would buy it and a modern version wouldn’t look nearly as cool... But the Subaru SVX was the first car I ever really loved (I was 7) and probably formed the foundation for my general obsession with weird.

Since it’s true that you can’t solve a social problem with a technological solution we’ll need to make it a social solution:
If you see someone in a “self driving” car without a butt in the driver’s seat, hands on the wheel and eyes on the  road, you can ram it off the road into the ditch and claim all their worldly…

It sounds great to have Bob’s name there but then Bob can’t move on, retire, DIE... Specs should be written with a clear purpose, stating what they apply to, what they aim to do/why, and have clear functional requirements.  a well written spec or ICD is really just a communication tool between teams, they can and…

As a guy who works in a design and manufacturing facility (not cars), here’s my take:

My guess is the plastic bit isn’t a Corvette exclusive part, but can be put everywhere. Even if the majority of the gauge cluster is exclusive, there are bits and bobs that could be adapted to other upcoming designs, so why not reuse those bits? No real need to print off exclusive sheets for warning lights, nobody…

This sounds like a good engineering practice. While they might not reuse the entire cluster they may want to reuse just that plastic piece. Adding the unused symbol is likely free/very cheap vs just the cost of engineering hours to add a new configuration of the same thing with it, and maintaining two parts numbers.…

I want the hybrid but AWD. Ford seems to be making several mistakes here and the car’s not even out yet.

I’m pulling for team hatch!

I’m always astounded that real people spend their own money on Mitsubishis.

It’s coming home back.

Nissan Stagea, Skyline Wagon WC34 whatever it is

I must be qualified for the LAPD then... hah. Their solution was to create a pipe bomb on the back of a semi truck, so my “stupid” idea still seems like a better plan.

Sparklers are a sneaky risk. People underestimate them because they’re considered “safe and sane” (as pyrotechnics go), and the tiny bits that fly off cool very rapidly, and therefore give them to undersupervised small children and use them in questionable places. The small  portion that is burning at any moment is  f…

I was gonna say somebody is gonna get fired over this, but then I remembered their cops, and they get away with everything up to and including murder, so I assume they’ll just get a pat on the back and a “Mistakes Happen” from their boss. Maybe they’ll get them a joke hat with a kaboom on it or something.

Never posted this much on one story, also wanted to add that I bet they will charge the fireworks guy with the 17 injuries, lol.

“Cops take safe fireworks, turn it into massive IED, blame everyone but cops”

Did they make a truck sized pipe bomb? Absolutely insane.
