I love mine, but you’re right, if a tdi option were available I would’ve bought it

It helps that those old Saab hoods are really easy to remove—just take out two bolts, disconnect the windshield washer hose and lift it off. With mine, if I had a helper I might put a blanket on the car roof and keep the hood there while I was working, but otherwise I could usually lean it against the wall.

This comment reads as if you somehow know of Jalopnik but never actually read the articles. 

I thought ‘Timely’ was a unique descriptor for the transmission, considering it’s a manual. I mean, it shifts when you shift it. 

While the article does use a picture of a Tesla, China also has an incredibly large number of EV manufacturers, of which many are probably of very questionable quality. So while the Tesla did get a lot of attention, I am sure there are a lot more Chinese EV fires than what we hear about. So perhaps in China it does…

I legit teared up when I realized what it was. I’d only played MS Flight Sim X casually back in the day, but apparently it had a much greater impact on me than I realized.

I have a pump-spray bottle. You put the oil in it, pump the little lever a few times to build air pressure, then depress the button and it sprays out the oil. It works a bit like a mini Super Soaker.

Oh snap.

If you’re not inspired by SpaceX landing 2 boosters simultaneously, that’s your own problem you need to figure out.

At least it won’t get confused with a Buick Skylark.

To be honest, I don’t have strong feelings about this either way. So here’s a dog balancing on a chain.

I could not confirm that subcategories of Oscar films like “Best Editing” are voted on only by members of the Academy that are also editors; it was my understanding that while that may be true of some of the technical awards and some of the sub-branches (like documentaries) that the Academy doesn’t want to recognize…

I honestly think the best automatic for manual people is an electric car with heavy regenerative braking.

Seriously, the behavior of these Tesla drivers is shocking

Neat idea but I don’t know that the screen warning will be enough to stop someone from smashing your window or calling police on you. Maybe the DRL’s should be on as well?

I use a similar method but with totally different motivations.

I second that build.

Sounds like a Great introduction into monitoring your systems power! I fell into the same fun a few years back with my Corsair Rm1000i, it too has a USB Mini connection on it that you plug into a USB2 header on the board, and then you can view limited figures in the provided software. Now it’s iCue, but it used to be…

I haven’t seen anything? At least, the closest I could find was this, but that’s only really for controlling the HUE lights you’d otherwise control via CAM.
