was blown away about how much better the 135 felt around the short track, closer to the Subies I used to track than those terrible FWD-based halidex AWD systems of yore that we all love to trash.

That vehicle will see precious little “regular truck use”.

What’s interesting is that if you use an estimated hp to QT time calculator like the one on xcceleration.com, you get that that worn out old Caddy engine was putting out between 260 and 270 hp to the wheels.

At least the panel gaps are tighter than usual.

Way back when Hot Rod magazine took and old Caddy and did “Caddy Hack.

Were you going to post some pictures of the wrecked truck? I think those pics are from how they come from the factory.

Same.  If I’m just going to pay the card off when I get home, why NOT get the rewards back from using the card?  

That’s not necessarily true?

I once joked at work that a software engineer’s job is to break the hardware. (I used to write test software for embedded systems.) I was saying it to an electrical engineer. He laughed.

Lol this article was posted for us to laugh at the guy, right? Nobody should feel bad for him. Nobody.

His name is Lance.

Indeed, and modern systems are pretty much still this rudimentary. The vessel’s GPS location and a compass are still the only inputs, there’s just more software there to handle a literal destination.

The answer is obvious: the writer needs to get her own priorities straight, dump that asshole, and use the incident to get sole custody of the child!

This is actually what autopilot is in the marine world. It either maintains a constant direction for you, or follows a string of waypoints that you set for it. No throttle control either. Whatever you come across between two points is the person at the helm’s responsibility.

Man, this is so stupid.

If nothing else, the side scroller video game potential is amazing.

Everybody blames the drivers because the drivers are at fault. There have been two fatalities this month in Cambridge because some jackass in a UHaul didn’t check his mirrors or use his turn signal.

Non-scientific hypothesis, but the personalities attracted to these kind of trucks are also more likely to antagonize cyclists, thereby increasing the risks for an accident to occur.

My most radical car take is that pickup trucks should only be available for commercial usage if they aren’t going to scale back on the size (which they won’t)
