Yeah, I have seen those before, but I want to cheat and have access to my bed from inside the tent. I like the way the tent connects to the Audi and lets you access the stuff stored in the back.

That is actually really cool. I formed a habit of just sleeping in the bed of trucks in the open air back in high school. It would be cool to have something similar to this for a pickup bed.

I don't see very much sag in the suspension on the Silverado. Looks like it could handle the weight. Now it is just a single cab instead of a crew. Not much of an issue there.

Handles on the sides so camera people can stand on the running boards?

I was in Los Gatos, CA a couple weeks ago with a friend that isn't from the area. We were sitting outside having dinner and he just says 3 all of a sudden. Then a couple minutes later, "4." Then "5." We were all confused and asked him wtf he was counting for. He goes, "6. I am counting every Tesla that drives by." In…

I was gonna say, so it can be used to blow away whoever is sitting in front of the lighter socket?

2.) Pacific Coast Highway

My take on 2 different cars:

Would someone care to explain to me exactly how this works? I think car companies are just trying to confuse people nowadays.

Look at the hitch in that picture you posted. It actually is bent. They were just a little bit away from suffering the consequences.

Fair enough. I live in the area, and I was thinking if you land at San Jose International, there is literally one right across the street from one of the main exits. But if you skip that one, the ones in Salinas and Gilroy would make the most sense on the way to Monterey if you take 101.

How on earth do you make it out to California and have the first In N Out you hit be in Salinas or Gilroy? Private plane?

The only problem that I see with this is that as cars become autonomous, they will be feeding their GPS data back to home base. When they do that, all traffic will be recorded essentially live, and then traffic can be mapped around pretty easily. Once one path gets congested, the computer will start mapping more and…

I think what this is really saying is that people need to start buying bigger trucks. As long as people keep buying these small trucks, companies wont put more time and effort into increasing payload capacity so we can all make Pick Up Pools.

Umm. You are missing the hose from the exhaust into the water that makes this a Jacuzzi... That is a requirement.

Not entirely true. A lot of systems use combined wheel speed to judge speed specifically for the cases of losing traction. If all four wheels are hydroplaning, the car has no idea what speed you are actually going. This exacerbates the issue when one wheel stops hydroplaning, and gets traction. Since most cars have…

I have a first person account of the effects of cruise control "in the rain." It actually wasn't in the rain, but on a sunny day. I was on a dry freeway when I came up on a small wet patch that hadn't really dried up from the rain the day before. It is likely this was actually a bit more of a puddle than a wet patch,…

This is going to get stepped on, and therefore broken so quickly...

Oh look, the Four Wheel Drive switch gives you advice. Get out and Push.

I would just let the current take me wherever it wanted.
