GM’s number was a final settlement.
VW’s number is a statutory cap — final number will be much lower.

OK, so I misjudged the implications on tooling. You clearly have experience from which to guess this is an irrational move. It sounded like they were forced to shuffle to increase production of big, high-margin vehicles, and I figured truck buyers would be most likely to shun a foreign-made vehicle.

Disneyland is better anyway. At least, about 25 years ago, as a kid.

Aside from the conservative context noted by others:

This had occurred to me as well. But keep in mind that the logistics chains, buyers’ desires, and toolings are not the same.

The typeface is good. Nesting is good. Gray status per sublog is still stupid. At least allow editors of each site to ungrey across their site. Replying should just ungrey for that page tho; it should be stars that ungrey across the site.

It’s also a style of music, though this song may be too modern to qualify. He could intend both meanings at once.

Conformal tanks like on the Strike Eagle add less drag (and reduce maneuverability less) than external tanks. Can’t be dropped though.

Quantify each step:

I love that safety improvements are the THIRD stretch goal.

Definitely a Milano. The Golf had squarer taillights and no belt trim.

Sideways NASCARs would develop enough lift to take off, so the flaps were added to reduce lift.

Aside from the English writing, this is obviously not Russian because the vodka has a screw cap. Vodka in Russia is not made to be resealable. THAT is Russian logic.

It’s literally just the S1000RR frame pictured at the beginning of the article, with the center join unwelded, and overlaid with a carbon texture (in 2D, no less).

Good for a chuckle and a star, but the Countryman is actually under 3000 lb — same weight as a 944S2. Still ugly, though.

Aside from the shared service (run by Apple, natch; they aren’t interested in fleet sales) idea, one other possibility makes this very feasible: it may not need to meet crash regs. It still needs to meet bumper regs and generally not be a danger to other cars, but not needing to protect passengers allows for huge…

Uh, for the same reason as a regular car? To read stopsigns at night and the like? LIDAR and infrared and whatnot don’t work for everything.

You think it goes without saying that you don’t drink or smoke on the bike, but...

The “Understeer” section title is a clearer separator, and it’s below the picture.
