He’s not brown enough, ICE wouldn’t care.

The steelies pretty much only exist anymore because of police fleet buying regulations. That’s why you’ll see vehicles that are only sold to the public with things like leather seats and roof rails stripped of them in police usage. They aren’t allowed to “waste money on luxuries” either by regulations or conditions of…

They’re typically not allowed to spend money on “luxury items” like leather seats, aluminum wheels and other creature comforts. At least not for the rank and file. Sheriff's vehicles might have some exceptions. 

It’s getting harder to spot the fuckers (the vehicles, not the officers) even up close now. Here in Nevada we’ve started seeing police vehicles with dark paint and matching matte livery. So you’ll think it’s a civilian model until it’s right up on you and you can read the text on the sides that’s only visible because…

I’ve always had issues with that as a blanket statement because I see a number of situations where staying in the left lane by default is the right/best idea.

I thought about that, and the only thing I can guess is that it was just *so* choked for air that it couldn’t compensate. I could be entirely wrong about the whole thing, but I can’t imagine what else would burn a hole through a cylinder like that in a car with no known other mechanical issues.

Probably. The funny part is that I looked up the rich/lean difference and what I saw made it look like running rich would have been the thing to say. Stupid Google.

It’s 1998 and I’m in Houston trying to convince my mom to buy me a new car to replace my beaten (but sadly missed, now) 1986 Nissan 200SX. I get the feeling she might be able to give me about three grand if I made the right pitch, so I start checking out Houston’s plethora of sleazy looking used car dealerships. And…

My guess is that the car was running so rich for so long it was overheating the combustion chamber and that’s what did the damage.

Sadly no pictures, but I have a fun (and #@$@ing expensive) story along these lines.

That’s about two thirds of what they really need to be doing, yes. If the industry gets smart enough to partner up with each other and develop a single charging standard and a plan to deploy a network together, Tesla could find itself rather fucked in a hurry if the other manufacturers pull it off quickly.

I feel like so many people don’t understand the most fundamental part of the Tesla situation: Anyone can make an electric powertrain, but it’s hard to make a *car*. I’ve been saying other companies will catch up, and fast. They are. Once they crack the nut of fast charging, Tesla won’t have any advantages aside from…

I would?

I actually bought one for $250 on the Prime Day sale and have been pretty happy with it. Unfortunately, it still has one major flaw in my area that I really hope can improve though I doubt it - T-Mobile signal strength is pretty weak compared to other handsets like the Pixel XL and Galaxy S7 Edge that I have.

At first I was like “Hmm, what fictional cats are there...” and I saw Jonesy and was like “Now, Jonesy was a cat that acted like, well, a *cat* and that’s gotta put him in the lead with me.”

It’s hard to avoid replying to trolls sometimes, but yeah. This. You just need to let them scream into the void all alone. They HATE that.

That looks like a super-early design test for the Pinto. The name even lines up. The headlights have a similar look complete with the body panel being streamlined behind them, and if you imagine the cabin being moved forward and given a hatch I think you’re pretty damn close to a 1971 Pinto.

I’ve got a Z in my garage that still won’t run after it’s *last* engine-out repair. Supposedly no air bubbles in the radiator, supposedly no problem with the water pump, but it will *not* cool down once it’s put in gear. Idles forever without overheating, but put that automatic transmission in gear and forget it, it’s…

I just searched to see if I could find any numbers for worker injury at another American automotive company like Ford and it turns out I came up with something rather interesting. People like you claim this stuff is common and that there’s nothing out of place, but this article paints a *very* interesting picture of…

If there’s a pipe leaking biological waste onto a production floor, that line better *stop* because that’s the definition of a high risk health hazard.
