Most of tha calls seemed to be along the lines of “flat left maybe”, which I guess means “maybe you can take it flat out, but maybe only 9/10ths”. Hopefully the driver guesses correctly.

The slide show part I can sort-of forgive, because it’s not the individual writers, it’s a GMG management decision. A stupid decision, but one the Jalopnik staff have to abide by.

MTOD ceases to be this summer. All their shows are getting added to some Discovery Channel streaming service.

Were I king for a day, work councils would become legal in the USA

Is this booster really a threat or is it just more anti-china propaganda?

It would be nice if that were the case, but it seems like the lists might have been drawn up based on medical advice.

I’d even go as far as proclaim this might be a pretty good base for [a] full EV powerplant car.

100HP. No wait, that’s my current car and it’s the most powerful I’ve ever owned. It’s a VW Polo, so that’s actually a pretty hefty number.

These are the people that I find a way to park beside, even if it takes me ten minutes to nestle up perfectly.

I reckon it could work for a while if you weren’t a total savage with it.

My first proper job was four nine hour days, then on Friday we’d finish at 12, unless there was a big job on, in which case the rest of the day was overtime (sometimes mandatory, sometimes not). Finishing that early on a Friday was great (especially when I’m sat here waiting for 5:30 and pub’o’clock to roll around).

I was once driving back from near Cambridge to Bristol, and my route involved the M25 (which is the infamous motorway that circles London). This was before ubiquitous GPS in smartphones btw.

Mind you, they actually made their air-launched ‘Shuttle 2’ slightly tamer than the real-life ideas, which included plans to add hydrogen-burning afterburners to the 747 carrier aircraft.

In the UK you have to renew your license at 70.

I also can’t imagine why you’d bother. That’s a math experiment, not something you’d throw actual money at just to find out, not when there’s no payday to justify it.

I always hear people shout “Play Johnny B. Goode!”, but maybe that’s just a UK thing.

And yet, speeding under the 11'8" bridge does not induce squat. In fact it does squat. Something about solid and liquid flow being different.

I’d call it the automotive equivalent of figure skating.
