And an index fund can lose value with market volatility.

In MN the plates stay with the car so this does not apply.

That story has a helluva twist ending! :-D

Until proven otherwise, I choose to believe that the raccoon is here posting on Jalopnik.

I grew up in southwest Wisconsin and thought my area was backward. Then I visited the central part of the state and discovered how cultured my area was in comparison. :-/

I suspect you’d be surprised how much animal cruelty goes on in redneck areas. Where I grew up “coon bashing” was a popular pastime - essentially grabbing a weapon (2x4s with nails driven through them were popular, I hear) and driving around until you find a raccoon to beat to death.

this probably being the end of the internal combustion engine for the WRX

Based on the discussion here, the answer seems to be “to do donuts”.

Awesome, thanks for following up on this! It would be great if it really can reduce emissions from the whole production-use cycle by that much, but misleading marketing that makes highly improbable claims isn’t helping anyone.

But I agree that it was in manual mode. AI would NOT have hit the pedestrian at all.

That is really useful information that would have been nice to see in the article. It also explains why this doesn’t have much as much effect on Nox.

I watched that DeLorean documentary a couple of years ago and IIRC, it made it sound like the FBI tried to set him up in a super scummy way, but after he was cleared of that charge he turned around and actually did the thing they were setting him up for.

The people foolish enough to buy a first-year Ford product are probably foolish enough to pay the markup, so this seems like an entirely reasonable move by the dealers to me. :-P

One of my friends has a cabin that overlooks a marina. Sitting there on a weekend watching people (particularly those renting boats who have no experience) try to get in and out of the harbor is high entertainment.

Exactly. First Jalopnik expects us to do their job for them, now they expect us to do the manufacturers’ too? Pish tosh, I say!

You’re a monster. You also win this comment section. :-)

You might be surprised what ends up falling under comprehensive insurance. I had a fender bender in a rental car and it turns out that somehow qualifies as a comprehensive claim (which in my case worked out well because I had no deductible). Something about it being damage to someone else’s property rather than the…

Yeah, that’s a pretty huge omission. The car couldn’t even keep itself between the lane lines on a perfect weather day on a road with extremely clear lines. Crossing the center line is exactly how people get killed on this road. What if there had been another Tesla on FSD coming the other way? You’d end up with a…

Here’s one that will probably piss off multiple fandoms at once: Deathproof.
