But what if he sneezes?

I get the impression we’re just watching someone confirm their own opinions in minutiae that might be meaningless or misinterpreted. This would be so much more educational with someone who understood the thought process behind these designs and choices, which seems somewhat absent here. Is it NVH or fear? Who knows,…

It’s interesting because what we see here in Norway is that less than 10 yo Leaf and iMiev are getting discarded of because of minor issues with the battery system. You got charger and plug issues, which are easy to fix, but extremely costly at a shop (60-90% of vehicle value), and battery issues, which also turn into…

Think of it this way, its cheaper to replace a single pack that failed early. Its cheaper to replace a single pack that degrades faster than the other because of manufacturing issues. So if one pack is 40% maximum charge and all the others are 90%+ why not replace the one weak one? 

Ugh, given that he loves that Tesla nightmare of a cooling system, its hard to take him seriously.

that pipeline was just so a canadian oil company could dodge taxes here in the states it wasnt gonna do a fucking thing for gas prices.  

The XL pipeline has pretty minimal impact on oil prices. The pipeline just makes it easier to ship crude from Alberta to the U.S., but it doesn’t change the amount of crude in the aggregate (at least in the near to medium term). Unlike natural gas, crude is a global market, so if crude isn’t making its way to the…

Fucking Pontiac.

Toyota also moved its headquarters from California to Texas.

This isn’t about opinions, this is about repeating and amplifying demonstrably false claims, and supporting those who do such things. That isn’t an opinion, that is a crime.

The 110 is only 7 inches longer than your LR4. Big, but not a long as, say, the new Ford Maveric, and it is a foot shorter than a Chevy Tahoe. The 90 is actually quite small. Nearly a foot shorter than your LR4.

I’m not sure what your point is here. If some other company donates to foreign politicians that are actively working to undermine democracy, the peaceful transition of power, and good governance in their home nations, then those companies, American or not, can also get fucked.

What kind of shitty wheels are these that still require greasing? Have they not heard of sealed bearings? 

Hate the players playing the game.

There are no good cops that aren’t rookies. After being on the job a few years they see everyone as criminals. Body cams should be on 100% of the time and broadcast live online for the public to watch. Then we will see just how many bad apples there really are.

Chances are it is full of unique parts made from expensive materials. So a $20k brake job or a $6k steering box sounds about right. 

I guess the Jalopnik staff likes to have a day off themselves every now and then. This reposting of old content on holidays is SOP here.

Did any of the cylinder heads of all those horsepower wind up in the bed of The Godfather?

Safety blankets are for pussys bro. My flat bill and Oakleys will protect me from metal shards good enough.

It seems like if your whole deal is pushing engines to the point of catastrophic failure, you should, you know, prepare for that catastrophic failure.
