I figured I’d post it since you like weird stuff, too. The shifter is the gray dial on top of the tank (relocated grip shifter). I ran the cable housing through copper tubing to manage the way it ran between the twin down tubes. The illuminated switch for the LED tank and tail lights is in the middle of the switch (sma…

If it’s anything like a lower end unit’s gear oil that’s mixed with seawater, it’s truly a horrendous, evil stench.

I’m definitely not a rim brake hater, but I would go with a fork that allows a disc on the front, even if it’s mechanical, like an Avid BB7. I built a cruiser out of a ‘64 Spaceliner step-through frame that has a mechanical front disc and rear coaster (SA 3 speed IGH) and it impressively stops that overweight brute…

They’re recessed in MA, including facing the wrong direction with a red reflector, though I doubt someone who would drive the wrong way would notice.

They did that with the Kirkbride building of the infamous Danvers State Hospital when they converted the place to condos—just kept the facade.

I always figured it was for safety, but I never knew why all the steering wheels appeared to be misaligned.

One of the best concepts I’ve seen in a long time. Refreshing not to see another shitty CUV or useless hypercar, though the design makes me think of the C111 and C112 a little.

I wonder what the cda is.

It might not be bad to have forward facing cameras showing up on the display dash as if the driver could look through…

Probably to manage turbulence around the front wheels. Also less gaps to align when there’s an adjacent gaping hole between the panels, but I think that was TVR’s reasoning!

Also, don’t spill anything around it.

Yeah, I try to stay off the roads in storms purely to avoid getting stuck somewhere by the actions of morons.

Having approached starvation to the point of looking for bugs to eat, I can confidently say that nobody would want to be stranded on a lifeboat with me even if I didn’t talk.

OK, this one is worth it. I imagine it was abandoned by the original thief.

Everyone wants to preserve old buildings, but none of them want to pay for it. It would almost certainly cost more to fix this up than build something new, especially in a place few want to be. What already limited services should cash-strapped Detroit have given up to preserve some massive, unusable superfund site…

WTF, it’s just a (ugly) Hyundai, not a 410 Superfast. Low miles, WGAF, it sounds like it’s been in a crash that wasn’t reported, so it didn’t show up on a Carfax and still has problems stemming from it—that they didn’t fix even though it was agreed they would—before it was dropped off the back of a truck. Refuse it…

Any old phone could be used as an offline storage and delivery device for music. I’ve been using an ancient ipod hooked up via USB as a stereo for over ten years and it just works through the controls without needing any kind of special compatibility or outside car connectivity. For the rest, people could actually…

Perfect if we want to drive structurally compromised POS and trust what will most surely be poorly maintained and cleaned robots to swap these out without causing damage to the contacts, the design of which is another issue. Ever have an engine not start to find that those tight battery connections, while tight enough…

“Get with the times, bro—this isn’t the same Hyundai from, like 20 years ago.”

I’m watching the video embedded in the article. Are you watching the same one? The Yaris has its brakes on the whole time until just before the LR hits—too late to be anticipated and certainly in no way giving any excuse to the LR to be expecting such—and that blue car is in its own lane the whole time. There’s…

That blue car (Peugeot?) remains in the left lane, which appears to be a left-or-continue-around-the-roundabout lane, it doesn’t cut them off. But, even if it did cut in, the Yaris has its brakes on the whole time until just before the stupid eunuch hits it and flips itself over. It looks like the Yaris starts to move…

Does this mean there might be suckers looking to unload cars with un-upgradable 3G at a discount to people who don’t need whatever pointless features are now gone? I actually thinks it makes those cars more valuable to no longer be connected and vulnerable.
