I have to imagine the added tire scrub from the toe change in conserve mode is negating any efficiency gained from lowering the vehicle. Seems like they’d be better off keeping the standard ride height and suspension geometry.

Did they change the headline?  I don’t really see anything inflammatory about it currently.

I don’t care how good the tech gets, no EV will be able to fully charge in the 5 minutes it takes to fuel an ICE car.

I remember seeing a car where someone had covered all the sheet metal with glued on pennies. Seems pretty on the nose for this question.

All the recent SUVs seem to be going with a more brutalist design. I wonder when the tipping point will be that it stops being a desirable trait (i.e. everything on the road has hard angles, so it stops looking cool/unique).

Yeah, I was excited to read about how he had specifically targeted that house and plotted out his approach to get airborne and crash into the house.  Very disappointing. 

I don’t remember the specifics, but apparently Snipes was an absolute pain while filming that movie. I want to say the CGIed his eyes open in one seen because he refused to open them himself.  But yeah, the supporting cast made it somewhat watchable, IMO.

As a biased WRX driver of the same vintage back then, I always kind of thought the SRT-4 was a hunk of junk. But I don’t think you can really deny they were pretty damn fast for that era.  I think they absolutely lived up to the hype at the time, they all just got ragged out or wrecked within 5 years. 

Not a boomer nor a purist. I recognize the C8 is objectively a great sports car. I still don’t like them. Is it irrational? Yes, but that’s the point. I think they look like a GTA knock-off super car. Edgy Ferrari from the front and just box-ass ugly from the rear. Also, even though I enjoy a very occasional round of…

Doubling down on the used car thing? That advice is not “a simple fact” with today’s used car prices. With many popular, reliable cars today you’ll only be saving $2-3k to give up a couple years of warranty and 20-30k miles. Used car prices are nuts right now. This was ok advice 5+ years ago, but times change.

And an ass end only a mother could love. 

I was a little late to this post, so I’m just going to piggyback onto what you said, because C8 was my first thought as well. They are undoubtedly good cars and probably one of the best high-end performance values out there. But I just don’t like them.  I’m not even a purist, but the supercar caricature comment is…

Is this post completely broken (no links, incomplete text), or is it just something on my end?

But a sticker on the gas pump said it was high and it was all Biden’s fault.

Much more enjoying the vibe around Lifehacker lately.

Fixing my window tint.

Touché and shame on me for not reading the grassroots article more closely.

That’s a great guide for competition tires, but most of those are going to have some pretty serious trade-offs if you’re primarily driving them on the street. The tires being compared here aren’t going to beat, say, the Potenza RE-71RS around a track, but they’re still up to an occasional track/autocross and more than…

+1 on the WRX. Had a 2003 for well over a decade and it was such a fun car. I lived in the heart of a major city for a good portion of that time, and it was just so delightfully zippy to navigate all the traffic in.

Don’t know the whole story (maybe supply constrained?), but I’m thrilled to see the hummer on this list.  I was concerned the affluent suburbs in my area would be awash in 9000lb missile bricks, but I’ve yet to see one on the road.
