The internal computer records all data and sends them to Ferrari for “diagnostics”, that’s how they know everything you do with their car. That’s how they set your car on fire if you don’t behave. Did you think that Ferraris just randomly burn to the ground ?

I don’t see it as sexist.

There is one winner in all of this and it is the Morris Marina and its owners club.

I suppose this epoch had to end at some point. The manner in which it might well have ended is regrettable, and I want to remind everyone that there are many talented people who work on all the TG brands – the telly crew, the magazine, the events and much besides – who must be shitting themselves right now, and I…

I think you're missing out on an important factor, the tires on an i3 use about 33-41 psi f/r pressure. In order to support the weight of the vehicle the tires will have to compress until enough surface area is touching the road so that the weight of the vehicle on that tire is balanced against the upward force from…

Only one cookie. Angry Cookie.

EXOTIC SKITTLES. This story could have not gone to any other Jalopnik writer. It's almost too well-suited.

Subaru was going dull all on their own without Toyota's help.

I LOLed when you said "Fiat" and "Quality Control" in the same sentence. I guess compared to the fiasco that was Cerberus, Fiat is a step up in quality control since they actually make cars and not just hedge funds.

I would say showing the world of professional engineers that they could do a lot better if they weren't hampered by complicated management structures and internal rivalries.

For those that are unaware, Christian is a practical engineer and inventor. He doesn't have much in the way of formal training. His ideas come from intuition and how he imagines that something can work better.

Pittsburgh is a city that people actively try to forget about, which is a shame, because it is the location of the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix:

Isn't that precisely what you'd want from a regulator? Saying "We need to make a change, but we're not the ones who know best how to do it. Here's your goal, you can do what you need to get there."seems like the best possible approach.

go look up the vacuum diagram for the last few years Honda was clinging to the CVCC engine. in fact, don't. I'll just give it to you here:

I think the point he is trying to make is that without the EPA there would have been no "NEED" to increase performance / efficiency of vehicles. The EPA and all their rules made it so that OEM's had to design new engines that were more efficient and as they got less power and heavier consumers demanded more power and…

So true.

A lot of people don't realize that efficiency = power. The more efficient a car is, the less power it is wasting. This can be used to two effects, the less entertaining one of downsizing something because you can make the required power in a smaller package, or the fun one of getting every last bit of power out of…
