It’s an absolute dumpster fire. Doesn’t render properly on my tablet, comments don’t seem to nest correctly, it’s SLOW... Amazing how long it’s lasted TBH. I get that writing web forum software is neither easy or cheap but FFS, the web is decades old now, this is not new tech.

We bought our 2016 Leaf earlier this year with 20,000kms on the clock. Have added about 5k since. Battery SOH has dropped from 82 to 75 in that time. Yes, we're worried.

Whoa, he started racing at 60 and died at 61? A year of experience seems a bit light for an F5000 car, those things are animals.

As a former ‘93 SE-R owner, I’m tempted to agree.

Bless you. A video edited by someone over thirty. I want to show my Dad this build as he is a Jeep fan from way back but if I showed him the Build Biology vid, I think he’d have a seizure. So. Many. Fast. Cuts. Dizzy handheld camera crap. Silly graphics. Ugh.

When I was a kid three (!) local teens died when the Miura they “borrowed” missed a corner. There were allegedly decapitations.

Imma go out on a limb here and guess that any knob labelled “dB” on a home stereo is going to not relate to a logarithmic scale because logarithmic behaviour in either the counter or the actual volume would be super confusing to 98% of the stereo buying public.

Ferrari 250 GTE, Burlington, VT, about 2001. I’m in NZ now, and the other day saw a lovely blue ‘60s 330 GTC driving the other way in the pouring rain.

Had that poster. Made a big impression on me as a 15 year old. Was able to buy a family friend’s 73 2002 but was never able to duplicate this. Not from lack of trying, mind you.

Big yellow Uber, more like.

I think that was due to some deal to sell to Toyotas badged as GM cars in the States. Japan has a very rigorous vehicle inspection for used cars so many 2-5 year old cars get exported here to New Zealand. I feel really awful for any Kiwi who thought they were buying an actual Toyota and end up with one of these…

Sigh. See my userID. Also sold a ‘73 2002 cheap (rear strut towers were getting soft) and a ‘94 SE-R for less than I should have. In my early days I put way too much money into trying to save rotten air-cooled veewees. Close to three grand on a Super Beetle that had sat in a field for years, got four hundred for that.…

I had an SE-R of the era, which shared the drivetrain. As I recall, the NX was heavier, which was possibly due to it not being the rolling tin deathtrap that was the Sentra.

There’s a shitstorm currently brewing with the 30kWh batteries, which are degrading much faster than the 24kWh ones. Nissan may be able to substantially expand that streetlight project in the coming years: http://flipthefleet.org/2018/30-kwh-leafs-soh-loss/ Disclaimer: I own an affected Leaf.

If Jalopnik is ever paywalled, David Obuchowski is the reason I will be paying.

I’ve done maintenance on the rubber mill at work and holy cow, that stuff sticks to everything. The new factory has a vacuum delivery CB system that’s completely contained, in the old factory it was in paper bags that got cut open by hand. You could walk through the place for ten minutes without touching anything and…

Yeah, pretty much. I have a book upstairs on the history of rubber manufacturing in Finland. Why?

Don’t know how to post images on Kinja but here’s an open wheel race car with one of these engines in it. They sound fantastic.

Pumpkin spice latte, coconut water, and spirulina smoothie. Your passenger will have to go thirsty.
