Reading comprehension, it’s a thing. 62,307 is the number of the MOST dangerous airbags. There are peripheral recalls for other much lower risk cars. If you’re on the list of 62k cars, you are at much higher risk and the parts are likely waiting for you in a warehouse somewhere. The other millions of cars affected are

THANK YOU for talking about wear bars. I’m in tire design with Michelin and it boggles my mind how many places online tell people to go find a penny to check the depth. We are government regulated to put 6 sets of wear bars around a tire (not as easy as it sounds) and people don’t even know they exist...

Bruh...

Can we talk for a moment about the merits in dividing a sample of 232 vehicles into 8 groups and then reporting percentages of each group that fail a test that is probably not particularly repeatable for marginal examples?

Sorry that’s tacky.

The article will be titled: “Why buy a new Keurig machine when you can buy this five year old Alfa Giulia instead?”

Maybe. F1 cars are highly regulated, while Pikes Peak cars are notoriously open. In particular, downforce can be considerably greater. I would not be surprised at all if an unrestricted racing prototype can be faster than an F1 car (see Porsche 919 Tribute)

That wasn’t actually my intent. I was relaying my experience of a similar encounter with the USPS. Do you think it is OK to dump mail that was paid to be delivered with no repercussion? I don’t. If my company had paid to have flyers delivered and found out they had been dumped, I’d be mad.

Too bad that it happened in November 2007! Yes, according to the good Boston Globe that picture is only 11 years old!... and it’s quite difficult to believe that the Acura stood inside the historic Boston house so far...

This is rather disappointing. Not that it didn’t “work”, because of course it won’t, but because it wasn’t given the proper chance to fail spectacularly. I do hope that he revisits this one. And doesn’t he know that he’s supposed to use Diet Coke?

In today’s world, I think of smoking as a vile, disgusting habit reserved for people under the age of 25 but goddamnit if that isn’t one of the coolest things I have ever seen.

It would be NP if the work was already done (maybe; the fact that the engine and body mounts need work is alarming). I get that the shop may not want to invest the time without a confirmed buyer—they probably paid less than half the asking for it—but that’s really on them. Scared money don’t make none.

13K for a car that needs work that “the shop can do” is a DANGEROUS proposition. This seems like a situation where you get the keys and the shop turns around and charges you another 13K to fix the issues. CP for that alone

For the stance kids

WHY

This is a hand built, limited production sedan with a subtle aggressiveness that is quickly gaining the attention of collectors. If you say there are faster, more luxurious sedans you would be right. But then the charm of owning a vintage car is probably already lost on you. These aren’t getting any more plentiful or

Should have opted for “no car”

You can fit more in if you cut them up first.

On a vaguely related note, I once had to rent a freezer for a party and the salesman decided it was important to note that it could “fit two bodies.”

The 14-club rule has been in effect since 1939. Why would they only account for half a golf bag?
