I just watched Maximum Overdrive this weekend- the opening scene has a bridge raising full of traffic with no crossbars.  So my answer?  We’re going through the tail of a comet and need to make our way to the nearest truck stop right away.

just add the official e-hummer smoke machine controlled from the virtual switch

Yeah, I’m sure that is part of it; but I think the bigger part is that the rate drivers are actually held accountable for when they hit pedestrians, cyclists, other cars, buildings, etc is just plain old laughably low.

How the hell can you use a Toyota Hilux as the cover photo for a slideshow about the most indestructible vehicles ever... and not have a Toyota Hilux in the running for most indestructible vehicles ever? Bullshit.

Yes and no. The high voltage battery needs to be completely isolated from the car when the car is off for safety reasons. So you need “something” to power the relay that makes that connection when you turn the car on. And the simplest and cheapest something is a good old-fashioned 12V system as used in billions of…

Great article, more in depth stuff like this please.

Dat mini-drift doe. Perhaps it saw the bystanders to the left and felt that was the appropriate course of action.

2024 will be the last for the Camaro, with a limited edition “Collector’s Edition,” which will only come in yellow and of which only 2,000 will be sold.

At this point, I’m sadly not surprised the General insists on half-assing its offerings.

It’s the best-looking Lamborghini in years. Maybe since the Diablo. Would I like to see it advance car design? Sure, but with modern car technology that would require that it either be an EV (which people would howl even louder about) or that it fly (which would make it like every other flying car in that it would…

I don’t need AWD or 316hp. Can I just have one with 200-250hp and FWD, with a 6spd? With GTI suspension and plaid seats. I’d cheerfully pay $35K or so for it.

If you keep clicking on links and replying to the posts, they will for sure change everything. Great plan.

I dont want to be that guy but Miata is a damn fine vehicle in its base model trim. The whole modus operandi of the vehicle is simple and light. Therefore the best version is going to be the simplest and lightest.

A long time ago in Earth years, but only a little over a year ago in Saturn years.

Well if Ren was of driving age in the 80's and born in THIS galaxy, then yes. 

I’ve got just the thing
