John Z DeLorean was proof that you can do 100 things right but that 1 thing you do wrong is what you’ll be remembered for.

As you all know, first prize is a Cadillac Eldorado. Anybody wanna see second prize? Second prize’s a set of steak knives. Third prize is you’re fired.

Same thing happens to brake rotors

It’s a scary number, but it really shouldn’t be. This thing didn’t reach that number without any mechanical intervention, and it will need some to continue, but I don’t think any more than if it had half the miles. Everything that is prone to break or wear out has already been replaced at least once.

Like most of those occasions, it’s when armchair engineers (and real engineers) get to poke hole in some marketing bullshit move pulled by the PR arm of a deep-pocketed for-profit conglomerate.

I rode the teacups at the fair with my little cousins when we were kids and I threw up all over one of them, he was crying so hard that my grandmother thought it was him and yelled at him the whole drive home.

“I have no idea how somebody could not emerge from that experience without being completely covered in their own barf.”

This is likely what would happen

I love the concept of Tweel but I am wondering how one would keep snow out of all of those sidewall gaps? It only takes a little bit of snow in your wheel to get the steering wheel vibrating in your hands like a damn jackhammer.

Plus the void will eventually fill with road tar, debris, ice.... The wheel would tear itself apart going down the road

Finally, a video that belongs on Deadspin.

I think most people consider the majority of folks graduating college now to be Generation Z.

Or we can have a vehicle like that that has modern technology and isn’t a complete death trap.

I think the point is that the used trickle-down EV’s would be there with or without the tax credit, since wealthy EV buyers would buy them anyways.

That’s what I could find in my area...

The cost issue is not union guys making $30+/hr with a bit of overtime

Honestly, that is a pretty funny comment either way, isn’t it?

My “designed in California” iPhone used to give me that warning when it was -40 out. Apple never thought to give it a warning for cold weather.

Checks date: not April 1st... and I thought unicycles were peak hipster. I guess I was wrong.

Level 4/5 autonomy is a LONG ways away. There’s no benefit to designing the current generation of cars to be optimized for that kind of autonomy.
