Ahe automaker’s global President Tomomi Nakamura is getting pretty annoyed about it, according to the news outlet:

Considering that it appears that they often cross the median, which is going to be uneven and full of debris, the heat shield might have been missing. Ripped off during an “off-roading” event crossing the median. In that case, the exhaust system wouldn’t even need to be above normal operating temperature.

Jet fuel can’t melt steel beams!

Cats should have heat shields. At least in the past, they were required exactly for this type of situation, that is, parking on grass.

On some planes, the autopilot will automatically disengage when either the pilot or copilot puts their hands on the controls. I guess the…

“Stuck pixels” would be a technically correct variation.

I wonder if it’s more of a trade off for fuel efficiency. Perhaps if you use a 10-speed transmission instead of a 6-speed, you can reach your mpg target with a slightly heaver vehicle, avoid doing something else to increase fuel efficiency. So maybe having SkyActiv allows them to use a (presumably cheaper) 6-speed…

Serious question: Is there really that much advantage from a real-world standpoint between a 6-speed and an 8-speed automatic?

#COTD worthy.

Maybe David gets paid by the word.

You mean like the ‘08-’12 Malibu?

Ah, okay, I guess I’ve never noticed that every car I’ve seen with the taillights off are Toyota. TIL.

You don’t even need a screwdriver for a lot of halogens.

Yeah, for my older cars you can get a replacement headlamp assembly for $25-$55. A 2018 Camry? Try over $200.
