Cadillac's L62 V8-6-4 engine. Cylinder deactivation sounded great on paper for saving fuel, and the design seemed fine...but there wasn't enough computing power at the time to actually make it work well, so drivability suffered because the system could never react fast enough (among a bevy of other issues caused by…

CCTV-7 broadcasts a lot of military programming.

4 VWs on the gay list...kind of ironic to see so many VAG products, considering gay men probably don't like vag.

Since this was in Coalinga, it's very possible the guy momentarily passed out from the overwhelming smell of cow shit, as anyone who has driven on I-5 will attest.

In SF, pretty much every time I see a cyclist.

It's the holy grail, friends. Volkswagen is bringing a Golf Sportwagen TDI 4Motion to the New York Auto Show. AWD. Manual. Diesel. Wagon.

That's what they call running away from the cops. It doesn't mean they actually chased him. He crashed before the officer could even get in the car (which is why he ran on foot).

Except there was NO CHASE INVOLVED.

It's too bad the cop who stun gunned him didn't pull out the wrong gun...

They could, but realistically if it was done without malice it wouldn't happen. Even if it does that's what the appeals process is for.

He's also done it sseveral other times, has a significant criminal record, and is a gang member.

Casual laser enthusiasts don't have multiples instances of "lasering" aircraft in flight, a lengthy rap sheet for a variety of crimes, and aren't a recognized gang member.

Wait, why is it illegal in the first place?

Am I the only one that hates the stupid doge thing?

What could have been a good video ended up terrible because some idiot decided to film it in portrait mode.

Whoever shot this video is a jerk.

To that end, if we require all cars to come only with a manual transmission*, I'm pretty sure the accident rate will go down.

Perhaps this means automakers should be designing cars beyond what the tests simulate (see: Volvo, Subaru) rather than designing them to ace a specific set of tests and proceed to fail when a new test is added (I'm looking at you, ToMoCo).

Worked well for Volvo and Subaru, who's cars (designed before the tests were implemented) aced them.
