So I read an interesting study on this about a year ago. They originally identified a “moth” problem back in the 1990's. Some drivers tended to get locked onto the flashing emergency vehicle lights and drive right into them. For a while it was recommended that stopped police vehicles use only hazard flashers. With the…

Can you do this with a copy of the game you already own, or is this a special edition?

I hear you. So many of the vehicles I see on the road every day are just downright unsafe. But mandatory safety inspections have a lot of issues that you didn’t describe here. Not the least of which is “who is going to do the inspection”. If it is a state run program, how will this be accomplished? The way it has been…

Load capacity of the Amarok is about 2500lbs. The big guy is 1400 by himself (full hulk mode), only leaving 1100 pounds for the rest of the team.  Seems like it might work, but remember Tony’s ego is going to eat up a bunch of that and Cap is not exactly a featherweight.

I take issue with calling this a mid-size pickup. The bed is microscopic. In my book, it needs a 6' (1829mm) bed to be mid-sized. This is a mini-truck.

GPS has some significant known limitations. First you have to know how fast it samples, were they looking at an instantaneous reading or an average over a 1 mile distance?. Most automotive GPS units sample at 5hz. Then you have to understand what the positional error is for that particular unit in that particular…

Measured mile is the standard for all land speed records.  Don’t give me any of this GPS crap.  Measured mile trap or it didn’t happen.  And get USAC out there to sanction it while you are at it.

THere are a few issues with this. First FB marketplace. I don’t have a FB account, so all it will tell me is that it is “far” from my location. If you want people to buy your stuff, use a format that does not require an account to view ads.

I have a complete set of factory service manuals for most of the vehicles I have owned. I find them far superior to other sources of data in most cases. One big plus is that they show ALL the different variations of a part or system that were available on the vehicle. For example the factory GM manuals for my ‘99…

I don’t understand why Uber/Lifts/Etc are getting hammered by CA. Truck drivers, multi-level-marketing, and a dozen other gig economy jobs are fine in CA, but not Uber/Lyft? I call BS. No one is forcing anyone to take these jobs. Uber/Lyft jobs were never intended to be a full time primary income source, just a side…

Technically the Buick semaphore Traficators were rear-visible and they were amber. But I am not sure they meet the criteria above. But in general, yes, mistakes have been made. Fortunately most automakers in the US have retained their sanity and stuck to all red at the rear. The better question is when will the rest…

Fun fact, Patsy Cline died in the crash of a Comanche. 

There was a point to this article? If there was it seems to be “not enough car news today, so lets talk about crazy people doing crazy shit”.

Nothing. Nothing is wrong whit this Audi.

Must have:

Why bother to differentate, neither is as good a vehcile as the S10 based TRUCKS that everyone is raggin on.  I’d rather have a 20 year old S-Blazet than ANYTHING that bears the name today.

Bullshit. Have I a 99 on Dexcool with over 240k miles on it. 0 coolant issues.  We had ‘95 that we bought new and drove until 2015 when the rust finally got too bad.  It’s not nostalgia, it was a good truck.  Way better for what we used it for than most of the shit on the market today. 

Say what you want, but I’d still rather have one of these Blazers than just about ANYTHING on offer today.

CP, for that money it would have to be pretty much turn-key. The turbo motors were notorious for being a time bomb to start with.  I’d rather have the NA V6.  Our went over 300k without any major issues.  I also like the later styling better anyway. And to be a real hero it needs to be the long wheel base version. So…

Only issue here, a properly sized hot dog will not fit in our air fryer. I won’t eat those short skinny grocery store dogs, they are just not worth it. I also much prefer a grilled dog to the roller roasted variety. Now, find me a countertop appliance that will accommodate a proper wiener and will give me a little…
