This is true. I was in a seven car pile up. Heavy Traffic unexpectedly stopped from 60 or so, so did six cars. Lifted f250 did not and pushed all of us together. Everyone had to brake fairly hard but was able to stop except that last guy. I knew it as I was stopping and braked only as hard as necessary to avoid the…

Uber’s corporate culture is truly shocking. As an attorney in the WHQ of a large multinational, I know the pain all of their bad actions will inflict on the company (not bad pr, but the privacy violations and misleading of investigators, etc). They will be dealing with regulators up their a$$ for a decade. We have…

Agreed. If you had told me 10% of BMW sales I would have still thought that was good for such a new car and (to most Americans) new brand.

That lift looks high enough and the wind blown snow is probably hard enough that you wouldn’t escape a jump without breaking something. That said, while it’s rare, chairs slide down or come off the cable sometimes. The way that chair is rocking I would be having a panicked internal debate about whether I wanted to…

Some ski patrollers do just that so that if they are ever on the lift in the event of a shutdown they can get off and assist with the general evac.

This has nothing to do with people swinging the chair. Sometimes the wind just catches them just right and they oscillate. Happened recently at Bromley in VT. An empty chair rocked so much that the grip release caught the comm cable and shut the whole lift down. https://liftblog.com/2017/12/26/wind-damages-lift-leads-t…

Me too. See my post, but apparently that offended people.

This is the equivalent of a college party with a single bottle of expensive wine. Fancy but boring. Back in the day we would have the rager with kegs and booze. Or the poser in designer ski wear skiing the bunny hill at aspen. I could go on.  

I don’t get it. Beyond the novelty, why bother? It doesn’t even look that fun. He most likely has extreme performance summer tires on there and can’t even get enough traction to do anything fun. He is basically just spinning the tires the whole time doing nothing. It’s pointless. I had to move my ftype around a few…

I think the cancellations may come when people are actually told their car is ready and it’s time to put up shut up. I suspect a lot of people made a reservation because, what the hell, it’s only $1000 and they wanted to say they reserved one. I don’t have a stake in this one way or another and hope they succeed. …

I cannot wait until Tesla reveals how many of those reservations materialize into actual orders (if they ever publish that info). My bet is that under 40%.

Up until this year, 684 was the worst road in the area. I am talking like 10" deep ruts (not potholes) between lanes. You picked a lane and stayed in it at certain points. However, it has pretty much been entirely replaced this year and is now quite nice. Also, 9/10 times, 95 is your best bet between NYC and sound…

Pretty standard on any moderately expensive cars to sign an anti-export agreement these days.

Baby milk/formula. If you ever have kids, one day you will know. It’s inevitable. You may not even know it happened at the time, but you will eventually find out. It may be a spill, spit up, or burp rag. But if you have kids, it will eventually make itself known. Once it does, you will clean it, right away.

With just the model x, model 3 and model s, I didn’t see teals doing anything truly revolutionary anymore that wouldn’t be equaled and surpassed by the BMWs, audis, Mercedes and Lexus out there. The new semi and roadster just blow the envelope out of the water and seem decades ahead of the competition. Their current…

They have been doing this for years across the range/especially the xj. Just been more on the down low in the past.

That’s just the standard discount. More is available if you work at it. Jaguar has always heavily discounted its cars. If you are paying list for a Jaguar (other than maybe the f-pace), you are overpaying by a lot.

While first it is only 3 inches. Second, it needs to be over a 15mph closing speed. Doubt anyone is moving across the lanes that fast. If they are, they probably are going to hit you.

All these paved runnoff areas drive me crazy. There should be kerb and then gravel. There should be consequences for making a mistake. Not just “try again.”

Hate to say it, but never think the only GM product that has eveny remotely aged well/will age well post 2000 is the new gen camaro. Everything else looks so dated within 5 years. It’s crazy. I don’t know what it is. Maybe they chase trends instead of going for timeless design. It just doesn’t work for me.
