I think it’s mostly brochure fodder, but the only real-world scenario I can think of where this would be helpful is if you tow something in the 7-9k range and want to be able to do that without stressing the tow vehicle too much. My dad roasted multiple Escalade transmissions with an enclosed trailer weighing around…

I won’t buy a car that uses a timing belt.  If it doesn’t use a chain, I’m out.

The original LB7 6.6L Duramax V8 made 300 hp and 520 lb/ft in the Silverado HD.

I used to be all-in on diesel engines. And then I’ve run into a number of people who bought more recent vehicles with diesel engines. There is an issue with more modern direct-injection diesels where there is more chances to generate excessive carbon/coke deposits in the EGR valve and intake manifold. I have met one…

I, for one, am very worried about clickbait that takes advantage of people’s fears regarding monkey pox and covid.

Cassowary. That’s the bird you want in your regiment.

This is the most beautiful and diabolical article I’ve read in a while, and I love it.

Yeah, holy crap. Is this the level of automotive expertise and insight we should come to expect here? To me, this issue is so fucking...basic? What next, a story on wipers that move at different speeds? YOU’RE USING YOUR WIPERS WRONG PEOPLE!

I too make all my investment choices by a short 5 paragraph Gizmodo article. I bet that’s how Bill Gates decides to invest in things as well. It’s probably not like he (or more accurately, his Breakthrough Energy Ventures investment fund) got a lot more detailed rundown on the tech before throwing $20M at it.

No. This advice is somewhere between 52% and 92% wrong. Dont look for a lawyer in what is essentially the phone book of lawyers. And dont just look at “big firms,” whose hourly rate also helps pay for the nice wall hangings or their “senior partners,” who probably dont actually practice much law anymore, but have the…

DEI was a troll post from an old forum with a bunch of guys from Lincoln and Omaha called GM Modern Muscle. There were other forums but GMMM became the place races got organized so even the Ford guys hung out there.   One of the regular members made it with a fake account posing as a lesser respected member of the…

You son of a bitch. I’m in.

They need to give them the funding to build a breeder/burner reactor to reduce the waste mass as much as possible, while recapturing some of it for additional power.

Maybe swap out the old, incompetent bureaucrats and make the Department of Energy get back to work.

...and 14 million, millionaires.

And yet the US has 650 billionaires. Seems something got broken.

A woman I worked with leased a Maserati Levante for $1999 a month, nothing down. That remains the dumbest financial decision I personally know of. And I know people with power boats.

Who are these people? I sell Subarus and nobody is signing up for a $700 payment. (a $45K carry at 72 months at 2.9% is still only $681)

My bad. I couldn’t bring myself to look at it from the front.

The only place these are rolling is across the auction block every 3 to 5 years.
