Blood clots will straight up kill you, and do affect people flying on a constant basis. While hyperbolic, it’s not far off.

Peoria is a meth-fueled nightmare. I would need a 7-figure salary in order to even have an address there again...

Thank goodness he drove up it, unlike this guy last week who killed four in a fiery 28-car accident after video shows him driving past three runaway truck ramps without any brakes.

This is a nice ride, but the price is 3-4k too high. That and these things got abysmal fuel economy for their actual performance.

I attended the 24h @ Nurburgring one year. Imagine a 250k person Talladega, for a week straight, surrounding the 11 mile track. People are very likely more drunk than any NASCAR event. Sounds bad, right? Except that nearly everyone brings their own trash bags/cans, and the people who don’t keep the public areas around…

Those would either revert to supplier-owned after a specified period or the supplier would absorb the cost in order to land the…

Fun fact: Aftermarket parts are quite often made by the very same manufacturers as the first-fit stuff going on the vehicle at the factory.

So that would be 18 AAA tows, each way? Sounds like a nightmare to coordinate it all!

Probably the only reason I could be talked into going to a Rockies game; the ability to work from a different locale than my office 3 blocks away.

Generally, you run into the oil pump before you get to the sump...

This is a skateboard, and the Rivian has independent rear suspension. This VERY test mule was linked to in the recent Jalopnik article that Justin wrote and Erik apparently couldn’t be bothered to read.
