A train is 100 miles away from a yet-to-be-built 1 mile bridge over a valley, traveling a consistent 50 mph towards it. An extremely industrious group of workers claims they can span the gap in 2 hours flat (0.5 mi/hr build rate for success). In hour 1 they cover approximately 0.01 miles of the gap due to slow…

“we’ve been able to run at a rate of 500/day or an extrapolated 3500 customer deliverable cars per week.”

So what he’s ACTUALLY saying is they had a single 24 hour period where 500 cars were made, but they have not yet achieved a 168-hour period where 3,500 cars were made, so they had to extrapolate the numbers.

Got it.

Take the 2 minor steps of hacking off the wing and moving the tailgate hinge to the bottom or side of the tailgate and you’ve actually got a pretty damn good looking Ute.

Hell, for the same price, I’d rather have that than a Ridgeline.

According to ABC news:
“The Mustang then struck Ressinger and her daughter as they were attempting to legally cross at a pedestrian ramp at an intersection, police said, adding that the baby girl was seriously injured.” 

One of the scariest commonalities between POTUS, Musk, and folks who have adversarial relationships with the truth is that they believe there are varying degrees of truthfulness:

“...the public can rate the core truth of any article...”

No. That’s not how the truth works. It’s not up for debate, or for rating, or for…

For anyone thinking this isn’t a big deal, think about your reaction when Apple admitted to slowing down legacy iPhones with iOS rollouts to “preserve battery life”.

When your old ICE car doesn’t have the power it once had, it’s because of wear and tear. It’s your choice to improve or ignore vehicle performance to try…

The Hyundai will only start going for $4k off sticker if no one buys it, which is my entire point. The car isn’t made for people who want a contender at the price range, it’s made for the person who buys a model year old one at $4-5k off. Why not just make it better to begin with and make it competitive? That’s my…

I still just can’t figure out the Veloster. Is this car, objectively or subjectively, better than a Fiesta ST or Civic Si? Because it looks to me like they are asking you to pay the same price for something with 1 less door, 1 less belted seat, and less concentration on being “fun to drive” instead of “sporty”.

Is this…

“Now the interesting thing about both cases is that in the grand scheme of a new car sale, $100 to $200 is a small amount. If a legitimate dealer really did make a mistake to the tune of $140, they would probably just eat that cost and move on. Badgering what should have been a happy customer for that amount of money…

I’m a truck guy (my first car was a 1959 Chevy Apache 3200...in 2007) so I get the whole “teeruk” craze, but am I alone in hating the snorkel look? I would love for a manufacturer to integrate an air intake into the unibody of the car somehow. I mean, how hard can it be to route a roof intake/vent through an A pillar…

If only electric cars were on the track, would it be called Thunder Valley still, or would they change the name to “Mild with Gusts Valley”

1) Would that aforementioned phone-using driver have been using her phone if Autopilot were not available?

Would be interesting to see how many laps the 328i could put on the Tesla while it’s sitting in the pits waiting for 100% charge.

I can’t speak with any authority on tools because I’m the guy that buys HF on the first go, then if/when I break it I end up buying used tools from my friends at the dealership I used to work at in sales(so they have an excuse to buy the ones they really wanted). However, there are a couple key differences in the…

Oh sure, that’s more or less a given. But I was thinking/considering that operating costs should drop as a function of the lack of change occurring in the marketplace right now. A $30 raspberry pi has not-dissimilar specs from a PC that, 15-20 years ago, was probably in the $1000-1500 range or even more. Tech stuff…

Bird’s eye view from an ignoramus here: when demand declines, prices should go down. I have not seen motorcycle prices go down for any brands, and while supply has constricted that’s really not enough to support high prices.

Manufacturers are playing a dangerous game here. They want to preserve the perceived value of…

Ted Cruz, candidate for Human President, probably drives a Captiva.

Does this version answer the question “for whom is this car actually made, for which there is not already a better option?”

Miami in June? HA. Drivers would die of heat stroke.

I’m calling it now, this will be a repeat of the Indy GP of Boston.
