This is my first time seeing this concept, oh my god. I didn’t realize the front wheels can take 100% of the drive on a super duty. That rocks.

1st & 3rd Gear coexisting on the same article is hilarious. Literally nobody is ever going to be forced to rationalize the biggest conservative mascot also owning the biggest EV company on the planet. 

There’s going to be some weird results regarding the whole Tahoe/Suburban/Silverado/Yukon/Sierra lineup sheerly because of quantity made and shared parts between all of them. If you read through the forums, you would think the EcoTech3 V8 was an absolute disaster. In reality, there is just zillions of them, and if one…

There was a really good piece I read recently about how in the 60's/70's, there was this last-minute push to save the American railcar industry (Budd and Pullman) through some isolationist means... which wound up accelerating the process. It’s too much for a comment on Jalopnik, but the moral of the story is that it…

Seriously, this line just seems like its actively trying to get people killed. 

Yeah, this was a C7 ZR1 problem ironed out in the 2nd or 3rd year. Although it would be pretty funny if GM screwed that up a second time.

“Do they just fly 1 dude at a time?”

Just an incredible little WTF physics moment when you realize that a bike can just flick you off of it based on the slightest changes in grip and steering input.

Lots of good recs here, but surprised by one I haven’t seen: A clapped out C5 Vette with idk, 5 grand worth of go-fast bits on it? The motor will take plenty of boost, and that shape wants to go fast.

Even though it breaks some pretty conventional rules of sales that exist regardless of industry, I think they would turn you away if two conditions are met:

The actual quote from the fed in 2021 was that they were using higher interests rates to get wages down, thus countering inflation. It is good monetary policy, but it should also be a sobering moment for capitalism when too many people making more money is... bad.

There is almost no situation where BOF is actually a more functional vehicle; it’s just a lot goddam easier to design and build, and thus cheaper to produce. They still get used for offroaders and pickup trucks because those are the use-cases where there isn’t much of a difference. A unibody would still be better, but…

Yeah, this law seems like a novelty for a certain crowd, but in practice is a new excuse to harass minorities. 

sometimes i park, in handicap spaces...

I meant when the down-laps BMW was setting a pick on the Corvette for the other BMW teammate, but yeah, the late punt was not ok at all. Especially because the Corvette ramming the lead-lap BMW during the first incident was like... a fine place to leave everything? They were pretty much even at that point.

“Depends on what model you get” seems like a fair evaluation of Infiniti. There a are good ones people actually want, but these seem like portfolio-filler crossovers that exist just for the premium lot at Avis. No thanks.

Around what time did the BMW throw the block that started all this? I didn’t watch a ton of the race, but I remember the Mustang leading GTD by like a second over the Vette with 20-30 minutes left. Seems like this definitely mattered a lot to that end result.

Fair point! I’ve always wanted to reach back out to my people to find out how things have been since the great purge a while ago.

Oh god yes, I remember having to apply an “efficiency factor” when I knew we would be pulling a bunch of 500MCM through a trench in the dead of winter on industrial jobs.

This probably warranted a disclaimer that I was not an EE myself, but had all my work  checked by one. One thing he taught is that while there isn’t technically anything wrong with oversizing distribution equipment, the run from there to the place current is actually being drawn is where there are maximums and minimums…
