I know Porsche has made quite the name for themselves on more recent era 911s, but I can’t help but think that peak 911 was the 993.

Nevermind that the plug in needs 1/10th of the battery, which not only means production inputs are lower, but also means that those limited resources can be used in additional new plug ins.

Lol, the Philly Police doing traffic stops? No. Most parking is covered by the Philadelphia Parking Authority with is also totally separate.

I meant the online forum hive mind, which thankfully has simmered dramatically.  

The mk7 was a regurgitation of the 6, with additional performance, but tons of cost cutting. In a way anything that is generally said about the 8 as negative, could easily be said about the 7 as well.

An upgraded LOTA fix, which stands for Let Out The Air - ultra fast download speeds.

I lost respect for Cammisa when he put the piece out slamming everything about the mk8 GTI when it was first released. Most reviewers have put down the UI, at least at first, before coming back around to liking it much more after using a bit - even if flawed. Most others have praised it for much better driving…

Tough, but a rollover is far from the ideal scenario and they are just lucky they didn’t hit anything (or be hit) while rolling over.

And boat flares

1. Most plug in hybrids use similar battery chemistry, if not identical. Cell format is basically irrelevant. As for popularity, that doesn’t change the fact that they would be more C02 friendly. Hellcats are also popular, I’d argue popularity is a different (and relevant) discussion.

But hybrids would likely make for a lower c02 output as we transition, potentially much lower as they are far more scalable with the resources and systems we currently have. Large battery EV’s are both expensive and resource hogs. They might work ok for high income people (on the global scale) who can purchase them…

I thought Tesla’s were not brake by wire? If so, it’s more than software problem as it would have to go full brake by wire.

Most modern synthetics will get you into the -40-45c range, but you can find some that dip below -50c (-40 C and F are the same temp). -48f is pretty extreme in either case and somewhat rare even in the harshest climates of North America. I’d imagine that you would likely still have a block heater and potentially a…

You are acting like everything would default to zero and disappear.

I feel like we had the PIAA fog light trend of Y2k, had a slight break, then went right to blinding LED light bars. Common ground being that they are usually on when they have no reason to be and aimed to track the moon.

I feel like this fad exploded locally to me a few years ago. Every single suburban mom and dad had the angriest, dumbest looking Jeep imaginable. A bit after that they mostly went away as if everyone suddenly woke up one day and said “MY GOD, WHAT HAVE I DONE?!?”

Flexible like a convertible Fox Body.

Search camera falls from plane into pig pen on youtube. The pigs were surprised, curious, and seemingly hungry at the same time.

The cabin is pressurized to ~8k.  They were around 16k, a difference of 8.   Yet it still ripped the seats apart near the opening and ripped a shirt off a kids back.    You think that if the difference was 25k+ it would be the same?   Hardly.    And that doesn’t factor in the cold and lack of oxygen up higher.

To be fair, there aren’t many tires that match the rugged trash can lid hubcaps.
