A real Pennsylvania ‘86 Bronco would have the rust percentage of Tracy’s postal Jeep and be worth more than iron oxide should be, but probably not terribly expensive.

How fast does a flicked light switch get to 60mph?   

Pretty sure I’ve farted half that. And while it was thunderous, I can still hear.

Making me feel old that I actually remember how the speedometers from that era react at slow speeds.

I generally agree, except for special circumstances like large bridges and tunnels or other special/costly examples.

There are plenty of drag racing events/strips that aren’t top fuel level that allow people really close to cars, especially at the start. This is actually fairly good distance.

Porsche charging lots of money for leather trimmed air vents is nothing new. From memory, it dates back to at least the 996 era.  If anything it’s cheaper now, especially inflation corrected, than it was then.

Ordered a new water pump for my car without referencing serial number or paying close enough attention otherwise. Put it all back together only to scratch my head wondering where the extra electrical connection was supposed to connect. E-stat needed. To add insult to injury it was a PITA pump to replace and the fairly…

Perhaps unpopular opinion, but shark fin antennas generally look more out of place than whip antennas . Or they just look like total crap like in the Silverado and Ram photos used above. They might be slightly less damage prone to carwashes and branches and such, but they seem to me way more prone to damage when…

Same. More unique challenges would make F1 less boring, IMO.

I agree we are not there yet on batteries, but the camper specific thing could potentially be solved - at least partially - with some non standard thinking.

The part that with the massive crack is a critical structural member of the arch.

“one of the beams of the bridge has completely sheared in two.”

If they have kicked all the inspection teams off the bridge and are only inspecting via drone at this point, I am assuming the bridge inspector REALLY didn’t like the situation.

Depends on the market. There has been money spent on making cars sound good for sure. But there has been FAR more money making them quiet and comfortable. So much so that they are now spending money to artificially make sounds and pipe them back in.

You speak like you’ve never had to drive a 80s or 90s shitmobile with an auto.

I cannot find the documents online right now, but I do remember many years ago reading about it from what I remember to be a reputable source.

Same. I’ve owned a 12v like this since new and have refused to get rid of it.

They already make a Corolla wagon.  It’s basically soccer mom’d RAV4.  Just can’t buy one in the states.

Mentions costs savings and economy car base of Civic R as being a negative. Follows that by mentioning getting a Subaru STI instead.
