Why do people think that an old lady in a tube top is a law enforcement officer?

So, if a couple share a car, neither as a passenger can use their phone while moving, unless they unpair from the car? That’s quite dumb.

Now playing

Chicken played a keyboard? No big deal. This rooster sounds like a Formula 1 car.

BMW is not. But who’d want to cheat with a BMW. They haven’t looked good in 15 years.

So... making normal car companies rich is good, but making EV companies rich is bad? Also, no, Zero emissions versus ANY emissions is progress, and healthy. If that’s hard for you to understand, start your car, and put your face by the exhaust and see if your lungs appreciate it.

The typical EV is powered by DC motor, which requires the rare earth element neodymium. So the average EV does require rare earth elements. Tesla, specifically, is an outlier here, as they use AC batteries and only really need copper.

I’m curious what “rare earth element” you think needs to be mined for the batteries. I mean, considering that it uses very very little lithium, and that is not rare, not mined, and just picked up from salt flats...

Photos and video can’t focus properly with that kind of wrap.

I just don’t get the “swirly” camo wrap. The car is right there, so how is the car disguised? Are people that lame at discounting the swirlies when they look at these “camouflaged” cars?

  1. I hate David Croft this race. Fucking hate him. He sounded close to a conspiracy nut thinking Ferrari is out to get Kimi or whatever. All because Vettel won. Everyone frowns on team orders, but do you, fellow commenter, actually think this is all a ruse? Ugh. Shut up, Crofty.

Everytime I watch Formula E, I can’t stop thinking about how they sound like giant slot cars. I swear Tyco should endorse this series.

It is just me, or is Formula E mainly a collection of Red Bull/Toro Roso rejects?

Panic stops aren’t necessary to heat up your tires. Driving on the highway will get them plenty hot enough to degrade their performance. Plus, you’ll notice that it only took ONE 60-0 stop to seriously degrade the tire’s performance.

So do GT mustangs just have really crappy stock tires? Is an issue of too much power? Why does this happen so frequently??

“cease and desist order to the electric car manufacturer on its Connecticut sales.”

Thanks this makes sense. Seems like it would be easier to write a regulation that states “no systems that actively or passively induce rear wheel steering capabilities” than what they have now, and be broad enough that other systems or trickery the regulators haven’t thought of would also be excluded.

This is a terminable offense in North Carolina? When I was a kid, we used to go blasting through flooded roads all the time on the school bus. There wasn’t an alternate route. Sometimes the water came in the door up to the first step. haha
