The whip antennas create more aerodynamic drag than other, more modern designs such as the sharkfin. What I wonder is: Why is the window-mounted antenna so rare? You can have your 31" of antenna out of the way of roof loading and with NO drag just by gluing the wire trace to a rear or quarter window.

Ive done a hell of a lot of really long road trips in a lot of different vehicles, and the sharfkin antennas annoy the everloving fuck out of me. Especially driving through the south. Finding a good non country radio station is hard enough as it is, but having to do it twice as often because of a dinky antenna is…

This.

European octane is measured differently and not directly comparable to US octane rating.

If your engine is naturally aspirated and not high compression, running anything other than the recommended 87 is throwing money away. It’s that simple.

I mean, yes and no. They didn’t actually lose money. They made money, even after inflation. They just didn’t make AS MUCH as if they had invested it somewhere else.

“Once in a generation” is probably too strong. We’re in an unusual changeover period for automotive tech, which could very well lead to appreciation in subsets of the market occurring frequently in the next decade or two.

As someone who actually studies the economic effects of regulations at the microeconomic level, I can tell you that there certainly are examples of the EPA making rules that are “overly strict”. This, however, ain’t it... this isn’t the EPA making up a “nitpicky” rule just to stick it to Tesla... this is Tesla failing…

Project Binky is an absolute wonder. The level of workmanship and skill they put in that car is impressive and I love the amount of truly bad Python and Douglas Adams homages they include (and of course Police Squad!)  I look forward to further Escargo eps, too.

Bad obsession motorsport, especially the project binky series.
there’s 33 full 30+ minute videos of funk music, bracketry, and dry british humour, oh, and did I mention they stuffed all the contents of a celica GT4 into a mini? that should be enough to keep everyone entertained until the next episode drops in 18 months…

Regular Car Reviews. There are other car channels on youtube?

Motorweek Retro. Seeing how far cars have come over the past 30 years really makes you appreciate them more.

4 cylinder - can be cool or shit

I agree with you. Comparing the more modern 2L turbo I4 in the 328 and 428 my dad has had to my “proper” I6 BMW and the couple others I’ve driven, all it’s really missing in regards to BMW character is the noise. The noise is all wrong, but it goes just fine. Objectively better, given the low-end better torque. And it…

The single greatest failure of our education system, is not properly teaching how compound interest works. The monthly cost of anything vs the real total cost should always be taken into account when buying anything with credit and people do not either care enough to google it or know enough to do the math.

It was a little weirder than that. I showed up in a Bolt and left in the Camaro. There’s a long drawn out explanation that can basically be summed up as, basically, YOLO.

If nissan wants to come back they need the IdX or a new 510. Something sporty in the 20k range. Also a real compact 2 door pickup.

No offense, but just price out suspension and brakes aftermarket. I built my Franken7 from scratch AND 100% had a hookup for the frame and all the welding and it wasn’t really any cheaper. Stuff will nickle and dime you to death.
