Nationalism is the purest moron dope.

Ah yes, the bigoted Barbie doll in her natural habitat. A favorite right-wing trope.

You do reinforce his point. The engineer, by using information available, made a decision that Takata’s airbags did not compromise on safety but was a lot cheaper. The problem was that the entire thing was a lie.

“Of course, GM was hardly the only automaker who prioritized price over safety.”

You still don’t get it. The environment is much more important than human lives. It has been ever since the late-90s, and there’s not a thing you can do about it.

No, that’s pretty much what I expected

He wants a bunch of stuff that comes standard with a bunch of stuff he doesn’t want. Sounds like this guy would be happier just building his own car from the ground up.

Annnnnnnd there goes the safe space from Trump-bait.

Why the Jeep and not something more similar to the other cars but also inherently American, like a muscle car or a CTS-V.

They have actually not had any successful lawsuits. They settled with a lot of them while all the big cases have resulted in GM winning.

Slave labor is awesome?

Meh. Well maybe not meh because it’s pretty good, but the Elmiraj is much much sexier.

When people refer to moves like this as “Orwellian” it really makes me think people need to spend more time reading books and less time playing video games.

Exceptionally easy. It has an installer.

The real question is, “What kind of stuff will I be able to deface and destroy in the staging room before the match starts?”

What a shit world we live in when the guy who wasn’t at fault in that wreck thinks he needs to put his hands behind his head just so he doesn’t get shot.

That con rod angle makes my skirts hurt!

Just discovered that Porsche (the consulting bit) has had a similarish idea recently- it seems to be in the air...

Yes. For that matter, so does the throttle. What this is doing, however is offsetting that the turbo is doing the same thing but in the wrong direction, thus allowing full use of the virtual displacement increase without the detrimental corresponding virtual compression ratio increase.

This certainly looks better than Saab’s attempt at the same (where they tilted the head), but it also looks RUINOUSLY complex.
