The Rivian must have been going pretty fast. Judging by the way the tire tracks through the grass don’t line up with the resting position of the vehicle, I would say it either got a bit of air over that little berm before hitting the Explorer, or it hit the Explorer hard enough to lift its own rear end off the ground.

Man, I always did the under-the-chin mouth-laser method, too! I have no idea who I picked that up from, but I’ve known about it since I was a teenager. It’s crazy how ideas like that spread far and wide, even pre-Internet, or at least in the Internet’s very early days.

I came here to say something along the lines of “I pity the fool who buys this and doesn’t immediately paint a red 788 and the Cobra logo on there.” It’s probably the closest we’ll ever get to a real-life H.I.S.S.

That’s a fair point. The 2011 Ford Ranger was probably the last truck with a taillight that would be “hip-bumpable” by anyone not in the NBA.

In Missouri we’ve had a helmet law for as long as I can remember.

I got such a laugh out of the “they’re re-using boat animations” stuff. I really hope it was satire, but I was afraid to dig into the comments to find out.

I bring this up because it was integral to growing the Steam userbase, but younger gamers will never know what an expected surprise The Orange Box turned out to be. You bought it for the Half-Life content, which was phenomenal and would have been worth the purchase price on its own.

Man, you just made me want something that I had never even realized I wanted.

There are questionable decisions galore, but from the underside picture, it looks like the seats are just bolted directly to the flat sheet metal floor, with no bending or grooves to add rigidity. Try not to brake too hard to avoid your seat peeling up the floor like the top of a sardine can.

Good luck trying to take the family to Sonic for half-price happy hour in this thing.

Yeah, those behaviors are definitely trending upward.

This looks great!

The good intentions are plain to see, and there are few online communities more in need of an education on Dr. King’s legacy than gamers, but I am in disbelief that no one involved thought to disable emotes until after it was clearly a problem.

Right, I agree, that’s what they did do. I think we can all agree that companies are not people, they’re not truly “sorry,” and all Avis really wants is for this particular case to fade from everyone’s memory while spending the least possible amount of time and money on it.

On one hand, this is a nightmare scenario for the man who had the rental repo’d. I am completely on his side and I would be livid if this happened to me. And I’m glad he was finally able to get compensated, which probably only happened due to the Twitter thread getting attention. (Sometimes the Internet does do some…

You might be surprised. I think the C8 is changing perceptions.

I came here to say the same thing. The 3rd gen Prius looked really good, and was a huge visual improvement over the 2nd. Then the 4th gen came along and was just trying too hard, and the line took a step back.

The simplest answer: increasing your rim-to-tire ratio.

Hello, I would just like to say I agree with you on the “horizontal vs. vertical side marker” discussion, and for the same reason you listed. Thank you and have a nice day.
