Conversely, AWD doesn’t automatically mean good in the snow. Particularly when it’s on a super car with fat summer tires and two inches of ground clearance.

A 7 liter LS7 weighs 450 lb, approximately the same as a 3.4L NA Porsche flat 6. Comparing to any turbocharged engine would be even sillier.

That probably depends substantially on the amount of snow. Ground clearance is a winning point for pickups vs CUVs.

This reminds me of the time when I was driving I-70 during a snowstorm and 2 pickup trucks went roaring past me... and within 2 or three miles I saw both of them spinning separately off the highway in (thankfully) single vehicle accidents. I laughed and laughed.

That RWD is bad in the snow.

A/C is still somewhat true... but it depends on certain conditions, like your speed and if your windows are down, again, at a certain speeds even older cars get better MPGs with windows up and A/C on vs. no A/C and windows down. It also depends on the outside temperature, but overall it’s not as big of a difference as…

-Premium gas providing any benefit in engines not designed for it.

Keeping your A/C off will noticeably increase your gas mileage.  Maybe that was true 30 years ago, but not so much today.  Similar to how manuals offer better gas mileage than automatics.  Not so much today.  

I’d be interested in knowing what the “serious damage” is. I’ve yet to have problems with cheap cables, but then I’m a sample of one. I did have a Belkin charging stand give out after years of service, but that’s somewhat expected.

I ordered these “MFi Certified” cables for my iPhone in June (thanks to Kinja Deals) and they are already failing. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RHP56BF/

If your margins are so razor thin that you need to pass a 3% fee onto a subsection of your consumers, you probably should be focusing on improving other aspects of the business. Anyone who starts a business knows that these fees exist, so it should be built into the business plan and the price of the food and drinks ju…

I agree with you (to an extent) I say better safe then sorry. especially since our bodies are not very well restrained in the lateral direction by seat belts and also due to the close proximity of the side window compared to everything else in a car. But, why is the side curtain on the passenger side going off without…

The fuck outta here. That is WAY too sensitive. It may have functioned as designed but that’s a shitty design.

If anything it deployed WAY too early. I can see scenarios where a car hits a pothole sideways, airbags deploy, and THEN the car smashes into a pole. That’s where the airbags should be deploying. That…

So if NOAA tweets a picture of polar sea ice from winter 1986 compared to polar sea ice from winter 2016, NOAA should be prohibited from using Twitter. Comparing conditions from two similar events is a partisan opinion. How about when the monthly labor report comes out and, say, the Labor Department tweets the…

The liberal bias of facts strikes again.

I think these were partisan facts.

They can tweet from their personal accounts all they want. Partisan opinions have no place on an official Park Service account.

Yeah, that’s right! One account misbehaves, so shut them all down! You can console yourself that adults will shutdown crisis communications channels designed for the safety of the public rather than risk an embarrassing tweet. Ocelot Snowflake is now in a safe zone.

Stifle dissent, another time honoured tactic.
