How about in Dallas, strung out on caffeine? 

In this entire clusterfuck, did NOBODY consider cutting his emergency air hose?

Why on earth would you want tools made with copper alloy? Copper is a soft metal, and the tools will round very quickly, becoming useless. Copper is also a relatively heavy and expensive metal, useful mostly for it’s superior electrical conductivity, which in a screwdriver would be the LAST thing you would want.

Keep their digs safe???

This is probably a BIG DEAL for people who drive hulking gas-guzzlers, like Chevy Suburbans......

You can either use the paddles to shift it like a manual, or let the CVT do it’s thing and only use the paddles to over-ride (like for deceleration, or downshifting ahead of a turn). With 7 distinct ‘speed’ positions, it gives you something familiar to use rather than having to choose a random position on a sliding…

..that and figuring out how to shift a bog-common  4-speed. This is Jalopnik; most of the ‘journalists’ here are dumbasses.

Truck GPS programs do. It’s the idiots who rely on car GPS while driving a commercial truck.

It’s all about “clickbait journalism”; post a hyperbolic title to just some dumb-@$$ article which you wouldn’t have read otherwise.

The ARE several compression-ignition engines available for small aircraft, and they have been available for a decade or more. In fact, they are becoming popular in Europe (where 100LL is heavily taxed). As far as I know they all run on Jet A, which is more readily available AND is cheaper.

“Bottas then came in with four laps left for his final pit stop. It, too, was a slow stop, making it a tough weekend for the Mercedes crew. Bottas was instructed to set the fastest lap of the race, then avoid setting it, then set it no matter what”. WRONG!

Torch, you completely missed the REAL problem here. Now, I assume that in the northern hemisphere a tornado is a very low-pressure cell, I assume that it always rotate in a counter-clockwise direction. So, then, while in all of North America, this would be the same direction as traffic, in large places where traffic…

“Unless it’s an emergency or very important business, just... why?”

Man, talk about ‘exclusive British sportscar”...do they still have the spare behind the front passenger tire like Bristols of yore? Looks like there’s a big vent there

Well, that was a more exciting race that I’d expected. The last time F1 raced at Zandvoort, it was a real snoozefest, on a flat, unremarkable track in the middle of nowhere, on a windy, overcast day with sand blowing around. Nikki Lauda won, but that’s all I remember of that race. Probably the dullest race of that…

Zandvoort was always pretty windy. Drivers used to hate it on windy days because of all the sand that would get blown onto the track (and into your eyes). Probably the worst single location for an F1 track ever....

Volvo limousines used to be very common in East Berlin, since all the high politburo heads (as well as Erich Hoenicker himself) had them. It seems that Russian limos were kinda crappy (plus they didn’t want it to look like they were, like, a satellite state of the Soviet Union), and they didn’t want to have limos from…

Funny that you used a picture of a 1978 Olds Delta 88 in Teal Blue, which was exactly the car I once owned, down to the color! Mine had an Olds 350 V-8 hooked to a turbohydramatic 400 transmission. Damn, that car was powerful AND comfortable! I bought it to be used as a taxi, and I drove it as such for about 5 years.…

Few 20 year-olds will bother taking the training to get a CDL. More and more, the trucking business is getting 40 year-olds with little education, then working them hard for about 10 years.
