I have a friend that very much fits the road rager story. We were childhood best friends and he was always the nicest guy. We drifted apart a bit in high school (ran in similar circles but didn’t do much 1 on 1 hanging anymore). I rode with him once for a quick ride across town probably senior year, and he about gave…

I’m surprised with your comments on the E30 M3. I’ve never driven one, but I feel like I’ve heard they’re a blast.  Not super fast or anything, but more of a Miata like pureness.  Maybe I heard wrong?

I’m starting to think this Elon guy might not be that great.

“electrical work” is pretty broad. I’ve changed out outlets, switches, light fixtures. Not difficult stuff just be absolutely sure you flip your breaker off.

One can understand the math and still think the CEO having the “good for me but not for thee” mentality is a bad look. 

As stupid as it is, I’m sure another insurance company would value your AAA rating more (at least for a couple years).

Kind of makes me think that corner did get messed, but he doesn’t want to admit it for reasons.

Love that umbrella storage

The white SUV in the gif above was obviously going way too fast for the conditions and is an asshole for endangering others on the road, but what a save.

FWIW, I find posts like this FAR more useful and enjoyable than the normal monthly round-ups of comings and goings. A little more detail on streaming shows/movies potentially worth watching is a lot nicer than a description-less list of dates and titles, most of which are probably pretty poor, with very little to call…

Follow-up: I texted my wife that hillclimb video, and I could hear her visceral reaction from the other room. “Why would he do this?” “Why would anyone let him do this?” “No, no, nope, ahhhh!”.

Mt Washington was going to be my answer too. Honestly I’ve probably had more dangerous weather related drives, but on road alone, it’s definitely a bit harrowing. It’s not any too wide and if a car is coming the other way and you’re in the outside lane, it can result in some seat creasing. My wife, who is not a fan of…

I jumped ship when Apollo went down. I’m kind of tempted to try this extension, but you have a point.

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.
