That’s what you get for driving like a twat waffle.

I move all over when I’m parking, especially when backing a trailer. Step 1 is to remove seat belt so I can fully turn around and watch the trailer. My statement still remains the same. When you’re driving a wide vehicle down roads, it really helps to know how close cars are in the next lane by having a frame of…

If it’s all from the same part, that’s a great thing. Fix that part and problem solved. Every car with a different malfunctioning part would be a big issue.

For some reason, this Sauber deal makes me a bit more confident in them. According to insiders, to this point, they’ve been forced to make the power unit that McLaren wanted, not the one they wanted to build. That seems to be over, and I have a feeling it won’t be long before it’s a very competitive powerplant.

According to the insiders, they’ve had 3 years to produce the engine McLaren wanted, not the one they wanted to build. Now they’ve ditched that and have gone to what they originally wanted.

That’s BS. So you lose any ability to judge how close the next vehicle over is to yours, and what do you gain? A slight improvement on lateral mirror vision. The “before” pics above have a quarter of the mirror showing the side of the car which is totally wrong. Also, With the red car’s bumper at the B-pillar, you…

Negative. I use the side of the vehicle as a frame of reference to see how close the other cars are. Especially important when you drive a very large vehicle.

Ford’s solution is much better. Regular mirror on top, full convex on bottom. I use the convex ones all the time to check lane lines when parking, and for added vision when changing lanes (aside from turning my head).

Yep, and unfortunately, most of the time Spain isn’t a whole lot better. It’s such a boring track, I can’t imagine the drivers spending all of winter testing there, and then having to do a separate race besides.

Many racecar drivers, especially the tip of the top, are in better shape than the best athletes of most sports. The F1 guys run Ironman Triathlons for relaxation in their off time.

Under normal circumstances, it’s only mildly more difficult to get in and out of, but under less than ideal conditions after a crash, it could be nearly impossible - like Alonso’s crash last year in Australia.

What are you talking about? It’s a huge safety concern, because it makes ingress and egress from the car significantly more difficult since the cars don’t have doors.

Yep. I was going to ask about the per capita rates and also air travel rates. If 1/3rd of airline pets that are flown are on United flights, then this is a Captain Obvious style statement. Typical of what has been published here lately.

A .44 Mag is way overkill as self defense, same as a nuke. The parallel even continues because a .44 Mag can be unwieldy and a bit of a pain to keep and maintain, same as a nuke. But you have it to show off your potential power.

I see it differently because there’s a difference between a government (and military) based on the feelings of a sole dictator, vs a well established government (even though people try to make Trump out to be dictator-like).

It’s not about their use. We haven’t used one since WW2, and have fought in several wars and conflicts since then. The reason we have them is as an ultimate “don’t screw with us” statement. You hope never to need them, but make no mistake that having them is a deterrent for other countries because they know we have…

I’ve been using one of these for about 4 years now, and I really want to to buy 2 more as spares when my current ones (one at home, one at office) finally wear out. It’s very comfortable, helps with wrist relief, and the low laptop-style keys are amazing for general usage and typing.

That’s the point though. People should drive differently depending on what they’re in. You shouldn’t drive a 3 ton twin turbo truck the same way you’d drive a 1.5 ton hybrid civic around.

I can’t see your media because it’s posted from Instagram or Twitter, but it doesn’t matter how expensive the truck is, when the ground is that soft, you’re going to sink in, and that’s all there is to it. You said it yourself, weight is important, and the Raptor has got to be closing in on 3 tons.

I think it has far more to do with how people drive. Not what they drive. Most people are either on the gas or on the brakes. There’s no in between, and no resemblance of being smooth in application with either. I drove a friend of mine’s EB F150 about a year ago, and in a trip he makes regularly, I averaged 2.7mpg…
