If the Changli can be considered a vehicle, wouldn’t this be illegally parking in a non-designated public space? If the Changli is not legally classified as a vehicle, wouldn’t this be thie equivalent of leaving your briefcase by a park bench and expecting it to be there when you get back?

A HAZMAT team was dispatched to the crash and the oodles of noodles were extracted out of the trailer and into a nearby dumpster.

The soon to be dead Volvo V60 employs lateral leaf springs to get the floor lower in its wagon form. The XC60 does not use them. I hope a Torch article on leaf springs will follow.

Sir Richard is just doing the noble thing and leading the green iniative. We should all be biking to work with our two SUV chase vehicles, camera crew, and entourage. I wonder how many takes it took to get this totally believable live footage.

Their branding can be a little too in your face.

Lightning doesn’t try to cover up the crime or protect other clouds.

That’s a pound, not a bump.

I was going to start with the “This is fine” meme, but kinja has always been borked. It gets more borked every day and everyone knows it. This is really a test to see where the limit is where everyone actually gives up and leaves. In which case, we should go with the “The limit does not exist” meme.

Yet it is always true. Uniformly so.

The mode of failure seems trivial if the part lasted as long as it was supposed to. Every part has a lifespan. Ideally, you set everything to fail at the same time (beyond the end of life for that product) to minimize cost. Anything else is over-engineering.

Agree on replacing certain gas stations with hydrogen stations along established paved routes. But why is LR getting in this game? If my hydrogen fuel cell LR runs out of fuel in the boonies, how do I get pressurized hydrogen fuel cans to refill it? I understand many LRs do rove over unpaved land but I have trouble…

The analysis has to start somewhere and this is an an article about an explainer video. Given some asssumptions, we know the sun will not do much to directly power a car given a car’s surface area. But once the framework is set up, you can start questioning those assumptions. Battery density will improve over time.…

Tesla also cant fit body panels, so I’m guessing those go next.

“Which is more important,” asked Giant Panda, “the journey or the destination?”

Guns don’t kill people. Humanity was a mistake.

at those speeds centrifugal force wants to tear the motor apart

Does anybody here speak jive?

The DB9 broke my heart. I always loved the look of AMs so I rented one in Vegas. It is only fun from the outside. The chunky nav screen that doesn’t quite pop all the way up is absurd. The automatic transmission is horrible. The DB9 feels overweight in the corners. Maybe a stick would have made the driving likeable. An…

China has the benefit of owning all the resources, having the capital to invest in its own infrastructure, and a government with enough vision to spend the money. For the US to decentralize, we’d have to front the money for another country’s infrastructure. It’s the right move, but we’d never do it. If only there were…
