Just wait until the first tech over torques them.  Aluminum does not take kindly to high torque.

I’m pretty sure their biggest problem is lack of dealership network and parts availability. For a lot of the US there just isn’t a close by Fiat dealer or a place that would know how to service one. I know of plenty of Chevy and Kia dealerships, not so much with Fiat. I can see these selling to people in urban cities…

That was I was worried about. Certainly I would only use these in low torque situations. I only use a fixed closed wrench (when possible) to break a bolt loose. I like the knipex because I can adjust them with one hand to the size I need and they accommodate a wider ranges of bolt sizes with just 2 wrenches.

190hp out of 2 Liter hybrid?  That’s 90's Honda Si naturally aspirated numbers.

Wouldn’t there be some “slack” before the wrench adjusts to the bolt size?  If the cam used closes the jaw as the handle end is pushed I imagine there would be several degrees before the jaw tightens to the bolt, making these not so great in tight spaces.  I’ve looked at these before and thought that two pairs of…

As a former owner of a 5.2L V8 Dodge Dakota, I approve.

Camera’s are almost always reactionary security devices. They provide evidence of a crime that occurred and generally act as a deterrent for would be criminals afraid of getting caught. People are really bad at focusing on a single thing for hours at a time and its crazy for someone to expect a person to just watch a…

I have to say of the modern crossovers I’ve driven the Subaru Forester probably wins out in terms of visibility, both forward and rear.

This looks super similar to how propane exchanges work.  I think this could be a big hit in the U.S.

Pretty sure just doing the TSA precheck with a standard plane would be as fast as regular security and a supersonic plane.

It sounds like the FAA will develop regulations in standards once someone builds a super sonic plane and someone will build a supersonic plane to FAA standards once they are developed.  Does anyone see a problem with this logic?

I think the biggest mistake is not including any under body protection.  The other manufacturers at least throw in a skid plate with their faux offroad packages.

1938 Rolly-Royce Wraith from Nos4a2. Also, a pretty great halloween show to watch.

I’m guessing Panasonic will be the one to come up with solid state batteries and since they already partner with multiple manufacturers (Toyota and by proxy Subaru as well as Tesla) they would probably have a run on the market.

David and Torch left recently as did many others before them. Most went to thedrive.com and David and Torch started their own website: https://www.theautopian.com/

“Toyota recently restarted bZ4X production after a couple of recalls hampered it.”

“The automaker plans on selling 200,000 Crowns per year, many of them to empty-nesters.” Nah they are buying RAV-4's or Highlanders, this thing is going to tank.

In your history of crown to avalon there is a car that filled the gap, the greatly underrated Cressida. It borrowed heavily from the Supra and was somewhat of a luxury sports sedan from Toyota. It was kind of the top of the line Toyota sedan from ‘77-’92 in the US.

Real wagons, body on frame, torquey engines, actual towing capacity, capable of sitting lots of full grown adults comfortably. And, now this is important, a real rear power window that goes all the way down in the back.

I was partial to the Eclipse GS-T as the wing fit the style at the time.
