I feel like my Bolt has just the right amount of hard controls. Do wish for a fire suppressor button though :)

I can offer one possible explanation:

Because that would mildly inconvenience the rich cunt.

I can’t even begin to express the disgust I feel for this. I mean, shit we’re “only” talking about a bridge, right? Nobody is going to die (probably) as a result of this, but the mere fact that a vile, disgusting shitbag like Bezos can afford to A) build such an outlandish vessel and B) dismantle a 100 year-old…

I wonder how many people who complain about 3 pedals in traffic are people who can barely drive a manual. If you stall once every 5 times and have trouble starting up an incline then yeah I can see it being a pain.

RE: #3. Pansies. My commute into and out of Boston is 3 hours of often stop and go traffic and I would’ve have it any other way than with a 3rd pedal. It’s the only thing that keeps me interested in something other than suck-starting a 9mm in traffic. 

What I learned from this article is chief deputies make too much money.

Missed headline opportunity: “Arizona Man Gives New Mercedes Thumbs-Down”

This. I drive nearly exclusively on the highway. My cars see almost no wear. 200,000mi is nothing for even stereotypically unreliable brands under these circumstances.

Ohhh, David.....I usually see very much eye to eye with you, however......

What a miserable penalty box of transportation these are. The handling in the last one I drove could be considered “theoretical”. The engine, while willing enough for around town spurts, and you noticed, just doesn’t think that highway travel is…

Always funny to hear how the “party of small government” literally goes into huge government mode to interfere with any aspect of commerce that directly affects their bottom line. Rather than focusing on how to build products that people want, it’s easier to buy favor to legislate out competition, and it directly…

Let’s be real, he’s a hyper miler, he didn’t “nail the brakes,” as the brakes just turn useful kinetic energy into heat, which is waste. He coasted down to some speed in advance of the traffic, then held that speed, likely refusing to go faster than it even if a pulse in the traffic would provide enough gap to do so.

Is cruising slow in stop-and-go traffic to absorb the shockwaves a dick move now? That’s how I drive, as well as people in manual cars, and after about 10 minutes people will catch on and everything’s moving better 

They also seem to be geniuses

ok but that actually looks fantastic

The Brazilian Dodge Charger R/T (just a sportier Dart) had some C-pillar extensions. Also had a mandatory vinyl roof to hide the extra welding spots

Yeah, I can’t imagine any automaker doing something like that today...

Once again, a Torch article results in me googling something that would have never otherwise crossed my mind: 1984 Chrysler New Yorker interior.

For the record, I accidentally wrote “Oil Fitler” in my initial draft, and I’m not sure why I changed it given how badly this filter wants to ruin lives.

Maybe the solution is to have bigger vehicles that can carry more people in one go through the tunnel. If it’s really high volume, maybe link the larger vehicles together in a chain so that they all travel at once all at the same speed.
