I don’t think that’s possible. Unlike traditional combustible materials, lithium battery doesn’t require oxygen to work. The energy stored inside have to go somewhere. Whatever material you got for the insulator, once it absorbs that much energy, it’ll be glowing red hot, and instantly set fire to anything else in…

Time to ban your dumb ass.

IMHO pitting shouldn’t be allowed under VSC or Safety Car. It offers too big of an advantage to random teams. I want to watch drivers and teams duel it out on the track; instead I get to watch a fancy lottery.

IMHO, the cold air thrusters will be used to increase the traction of the tires. For example, they can point at the sky to press the car into the ground. Or they can be used to create a vacuum under the car. They don’t have to propel the car forward.

The captain of the ship might not have much leeway. They are in a convoy; their ship is under control of the SCA pilot. Sure the captain could refuse to do what the SCA wants, but it could result in fines or even bans from the canal.

A few years ago we hired a couple of day labors to help with some work. We had this big bathtub sitting in the middle of my unfinished basement. It’s kinda odd and in the way, but it’s so heavy I never bothered to move it. One of the guys offered to help moving it, and I mentioned that I have no use for it and I also…

Looks very much like a ND Miata. Pass.

The only problem with that transmission, is the engine. Replace that engine with a high revving V10 that screams like an old F1 car, then it'd be fine.

4th gear: I wonder how it’ll work. Are they going to buy back all the affected cars? Is the “fix” similar to what VW did, i.e. a change to the software that worsens the fuel economy and increase consumption of the DEF fluid?

As long as 2nd amendment stands, there will be a lot of guns in this country; as long as criminals are likely to have guns, police tactic will not change. You can put whatever restrictions on police, but criminals don’t follow laws. You tie the hands of the police too much, people will simply stop signing up to be a…

Every country is different. What worked in Germany may or may not work in the US.

$46k per case, or per case-in-a-hospital?

Why does it have to be electric? Current battery technology is simply not there. A small internal combustion engine with a 10G fuel tank, coupled to a small battery as buffer, would be much more practical.

Jason, can this thing tow a lawn wagon with a couple hundred pounds of dirt?

Not surprising at all. I went through this exact scenario; actually, worse scenario.

Is this still Jalopnik? How is a Miata not the answer? I drove a roofless NC for 6 months, daily, without getting rained on even once. Come on!

Why not have an ultra durable but not sticky base layer on every tire? When the sticky layer is gone, you better pit for a new set because your lap time will be terrible. But the tires won’t fail.

Waiting for a deal on the Durango Hellcat.

It’s not going to take 15 years for the world to find out that COVID-19 did not originate from China. Hint: Spain has detected traces of this virus in sewage sample collected in March 2019.

Geely buy FCA? Not gonna happen. There is too much American pride to swallow. Even if both parties agree to some kind of deal, the U.S. government will shut it down for “national insecurity”.
