That’s one of the reasons I love my ageing F15 X5 - it has a low shoulderline and a very tall greenhouse. Combined with its tall ride height, visibility is excellent despite somewhat thick roof pillars.

This is so true. I was “nudged” by a large box truck that had been hit by another box truck at crawling speeds and it managed to do nearly $10K in damage to my vehicle.  Sure, a box truck is a good bit heavier than the Hummer EV but at nearly 5 tons, it will certainly cause significantly more damage than the average…

This sounds like a person who will never be a productive member of society and is, in fact, a major threat to the safety of others. He should be locked up for life with no probation.

There are so many reasons to finance. Aside from likely getting a better deal and in most cases still having the ability to pay the loan in full with no repayment penalty shortly after financing the car, for many it makes more sense to invest the money instead of locking it up in a depreciating asset like a car. It is…

That doesn’t surprise me one bit about the NYPD’s lack of ability to coordinate a response. I have never seen the concept of “mailing it in” and complete ineptitude taken so seriously by a group of people as I have by the NYPD officers I have observed and interacted with over the past decade. They must have been the…

Don’t worry, there is always a Walmart within a few miles and based on what I see on reddit, you can poop anywhere you want at one of their stores.

Oh I forgot about snakes.  Yes, lots of snakes and they are almost all venomous. 

If only they had just made the truck a bit more conventional and easier to design and build, there would be a Tesla truck on the road today and it likely would have class-leading range and charging capabilities like its other vehicles.  Instead, they decided to create a never-ending list of engineering challenges for…

This wasn’t a car that I bought but one that my wife leased before we got married and I drove on a regular basis. It was the Merc C240 coupe. From the front and side, it looked good enough in black on black but the rear straight up looks like a pick-up truck rear end. It certainly felt like Mercedes forgot it did not…

That’s the one thing we can take away from this: stay out of the water in Florida or maybe avoid the entire state alltogether.

It most likely is man-made but I have seen plenty of gators in those too.

I was thinking the exact same thing. It is incredibly easy to nitpick data to support a hypothesis/narrative.

It’s kind of like watching a fat guy on a rope swing loose his grip and tumble down a hill instead of swinging directly into the water.

And putting any potential rescuers at risk.  I just assume all lakes and canals in Florida are 50% water/50% alligator.  There is no way I am jumping in to save some asshat aggressive driver and risking losing a limb to a gator.

I saw that - it looks like the other car is a large Merc sedan, possibly an S-Class or CLS.  It also looks like they were road raging at each other and the Challenger went to illegally pass and understeered in a very major way.

The addition of AWD alone will add lots of benefits for daily driving especially in rain and snow and it will allow people with less performance driving experience (and slower reaction times) to put down power better than with a high-powered RWD car. The slightly softer suspension will be make the car a bit more…

I just had an idea so stupid, it might just work. I have always loved Cosmos but the engineer in me has always been disparaged by the 4-speed auto that likely sucks some of the fun out of the 20B triple-rotor engine. Instead of a manual swap, why not just go all in and make it an EV powertrain swap. Sure, it will cost…

The only reason I would buy a Z06 over the E-Ray is if it had a manual. But of course it is not available in manual so here we are.

How is the regenerative braking around the track? I had a chance to autocross an i4 on several occasions and in the highest performance mode of the M50 version, the car automatically applies a moderate regen brake when you lift off the gas to help get the weight back to the front of the car. It really helps improve…

Ok, so it’s essentially a cross bike that goes more in the MTB direction than road bike.
