$500-1000 will, in my experience, get you a project. and maybe an awesome and interesting bike. What it won't get you is something you'd want to learn to ride on. My first bike was $400 and while I learned a lot about fixing bikes, I learned the "How to Ride" portion a lot more slowly than I would have otherwise due…

It would have to hit orbital velocity under power. Gravity only acts on a vector directly towards the body providing it (earth), being in orbit just means that you're going fast enough sideways to continuously miss the thing you're falling towards.

How did I miss this?

Maybe if I move closer to work my quality will get better.

I feel like "Sport Wagon" is pushing the definition of "not Wagon".

Very true. The wheels won't fall off, the transmissions will.

The new Mazda2 looks fantastic but it's crying out for a Mazdaspeed version. If anyone could take the brilliant Fiesta ST off its throne, it'd be Mazda.

Really?

But no, really. All hyperbole and joking aside, the SUV is likely to be an extremely strong seller upon debut. One could even say it's gonna tear shit up like Napoleon before he decided it would be an awesome idea to invade Russia in the winter.

This had better be his daughter's bag. No, just no.

Depending on its delivery condition (full hard, martempered, fully annealed, spherodized, TRIP, etc) it is hydroformable. There's a lot of interesting work right now in Electro-Manetic forming for thinner sections, mostly for body panels, but also for complex shapes.

They've been using steel that's not ridiculously difficult to roll and form. Automotive quality steel is some of the best in the business, and the HSS and UHSS grades are much, much more difficult to make at the quality required for vehicular applications.

Update: A Tesla spokeswoman declined to comment.

If they didn't write into the contract that labor isn't covered, how is that a loophole? It sounds to me like it's just not part of the contract.

Surprising amount of orange peel here. I know it's just wheels but every Bentley I've ever seen up close has OEM paint that is as close to flawless as you can get, this definitely takes away from that.

Scraaaatch!

It's hand-shifting, pretty common in tiny-engined racing. The bikes are so slow that getting out of a tuck to shift would take a few mph off of your speed. You stay as flat as possible, keep your throttle hand on the bar, and tuck the clutch hand out of the way. When you shift you just pull up on the shifter with your…

58 Chevrolet Silverado HD and GMC Sierra HD full-size pickups from the 2015 model year because retention clips attaching the generator fuse block to the vehicle body can become loose and lead to a potential fire.

You'd think he could afford the services of a tailor. This is like the second coming of MC Hammer.

The Stingray actually looks really small in person. I've seen a few running around locally and it gives the impression of a small, but very imposing, sports car. The Camaro, and it's pony car competitors, give a much larger physical impression with their blockier profiles and large greenhouses. The Vette mostly looks…
