“Contestant” is the correct word. The word being used in the article is “constant” as in “The contestant is constantly contacting MTV about getting their money back.”

The 6 cyclists’ attorneys have a good write-up about the accident and how they’re proceeding.

You did an entire article on heat guns and didn’t mention the pure awesomeness that is heat-shrink sleeving, especially the glue-lined variety that is god-like for protecting wires / connections in an automotive environment?

And how high was their budget, really? I mean it’s not football...

If they find slugs in the engine, there are WAY bigger issues.

Will it still come with drum brakes in the rear?  Couldn’t tell from the pictures

Counterpoint, a university team is filled with zero experience engineers, even at THE Ohio State University.  Honestly, its amazing the OSU vehicle didnt burst into flames on the very first drive.  

The average American household has 1.97 cars, so that’s not entirely true. 

WTF?

I would like to argue about your theoretical 10,000 kg of CO2 for vehicle production. Not about the figure itself, but that you took 10,000 kg, added 5,000 kg for battery production, then compared that to 10,000 kg for an ICE vehicle.

I am clearly in the minority here, but I actually care about the environmental impact, I am comfortable enough to keep paying taxes on a “backup” ICE vehicle (zero emissions if you don’t drive it?), and I like the ability to charge it at night, have a much lower initial hit on the environment with the smaller battery,…

You choose your car off of your least frequent trip? People with the money for this car are grabbing a flight and a rental. Lucid is obviously not looking at the same segment as the volt. That said the Volt is an under rated car. It’s really very good.

Yearly? You could buy any EV for the other 350 days of the year and rent a car for the annual trip. 

This guy is here...

Is it really any different than a Jeep Wrangler with a soft top and removable doors? Feels like you’d still want metal around the engine to protect it, but if the rest of the body is fabric, it would be cool to just fold it up and drive around in an open buggy.

I’ll be patiently waiting in the comments for someone to come say how this EV won’t work for them because their commute is 600 miles each way in the snow towing a 12,000lb trailer.

Basically, yes, the higher octane is a good cheerleader.

Karma Police, arrest this man he ruins good jeeps...

Incorrect.

I’d love this when I’m backing my car out of the garage to get it out of the way of something I’m working on, or when I move it from the driveway to the garage, or when I’m moving it to get another car out, or doing one of the million other things that don’t really require a seat belt.
