The only time I find myself cursing red directionals is in winter when people still feel the need to pump their brakes. Combine that with the fact that everyone’s center break light is out for some reason out here and I have no idea if that Plymouth breeze in front of me is turning or braking or having a sweet rave…

But that’s what I’m saying, you held it open with your hand. You were being situationally aware. Just because a door is automatic doesn’t make it omniscient. We still have to be aware of our surroundings and cope.

It is a feature, so your flappy bird doors dont uppercut someone standing next to your car. You need to look before you exit a vehicle.

Don’t tell me your conventional car doors have never bounced back half closed after you opened them, or the wind closed it after you opened it. You didnt blame the manufacturer, you…

Keeping those nice even bend lines is more of a fit-and-finish thing than a functionality thing. Those lines he posted will work just fine.

Its also important to note that once youve got them on the car and there’s plenty of internal pressure from brake fluid, its much easier and safer to make those sharp bends like…

I’m not concerned about the glycol vapor really.

I’m much more concerned about the jankey lithium cells people pack into their vape “mods”

A 10 pack of 18650s for 5 dollars on ebay is not a deal, its fucking russion roulette

Its kinda AC, but not AC in the normal sense of AC. Brushless DC motors dont use a proper sinusoidal AC input, its like a weird push-me pull-you of mixed DC.

Which is why stepper motors make weird generators

“nobody wants 120v DC”

speak for yourself! Maybe its an old AEG motor from the late 1800s, those all ran on ~110 DC and were glorious

Should be using a V twin solenoid motor

For added noise and inefficiency

Its morgan, so I expect a Jacobi motor.

Yes, yes it is.

Thunderbird Turbo Coupe
In grey with the red accents
with the 16 spoke alloys

been near the top of my to-buy list for my real-life dream garage for going on 10 years

right under that SAAB 96 i made an offer on two years ago which still hasnt sold (I’ll be pitching the same offer this summer, fucker) and just above a 99…

A 2009 Mercury Milan is a pretty accurate representation of my productivity today

under-appreciated post is under-appreciated

Because it’s a public road you can also get real fucked for DUI on the ice, in your car or tractor or snow machine or 78 puch moped with custom studded tires.

I’ve got a couple gripes with that paper, I’m not going to outline all of them because I should be working, but there’s a great bit of “storytelling” applied to those stats. in the section “Airbag and Seatbelt Confounding” They discuss the risk of death for no seatbelt : Airbag, but at the 95% confidence interval none…

why wouldn’t you? What problem would Mitsu being out of the US in 5 years cause to the car?

When SAAB died all the 9-3s didn’t spontaneously combust.

Drop that price 2 grand and I’d buy it today. If i left now I could be in burlington by supper.

They certainly increase accident costs, thats true, but in the same vein you could say they reduce accident costs by reducing injury. I’ve never seen anything compelling to say airbags are more dangerous than not having airbags, except when talking about improperly placed children’s seats and things like that. The…

Most of the other stuff has been argued about ad nauseum.
