as mentioned in an above comment, it’s all relative to what your interests/hobbies are. Plenty of non car enthusiasts likely think there’s no reason for someone to have any car other than a base toyota camry because anything else for getting from point A to point B is excessive and pointless. Particularly when you’re…

My buddy owns two bike shops, so I get demo some cool stuff I can’t afford. My take away is it works like anything else.... At the low end moving up brings noticable gains at modest price increases. At the high end it cost a fortune to achieve nominal gains.

Woof. That’s a big question. I think at some point if you have the right fundamentals on a bike then it just becomes a matter of marginal gains with price increase (some wide margins, some narrow), but riding and trail style factors in as well.

For example, if you’re willing to spend around $1k on a new hardtail mountai…

Better parts, hopefully better geometry, less weight, better components, less friction in the parts, and nicer materials.

As the owner of a current gen Scott Spark 910, this is one of my biggest fears (fortunately I don’t live anywhere close to Silicon Valley).

I have both an AirTag and a Tile hidden inside my frame, as well as an “If Found please contact...” label rolled up and tucked into my handlebar.

Not sure the latter would help at…

this could be down to 3, It gets even muddier when you go into the packages, engines, transmissions, and tire packages.

He mentioned this in the video. To his credit,  he states it’s not an original idea. 

Was the sponsor American Express? I’ve seen this stunt before.

Also seeing the handles and not the absence of a rear wiper is kinda funny.

Why are the Ioniq 5 handles an issue?  They don’t bother me at all.

I used it all the time, I don’t get why it’s infuriating either. Like my comment here on the BMW turn signals, if you own the car and you learn where it is that should be the end of it, it’s not like you completely forget how your car works every time you get in.

I would like to know why the person who picked the BMW lock button finds it “infuriating”. I currently own two of them and had a third in the past with this setup. I think I have touched that button once ever. And having the lock button accessible to the passenger seems advantageous rather than having it over on the…

I think the solution here is for people to buy more guns so they can easily replace their old guns when they’re stolen.

“Gun control is useless. If a would-be criminal really wants a gun, they’ll just break the window on my sedan.”

It also pains me greatly to say that I really like these.

GMC exists partly so that stand-alone Buick dealers can get some of those sweet, high margin truck sales along with Chevrolet and Cadillac.

If Buick had died, GMC probably would’ve died along with it (at least the non-heavy duty versions).

Yes. In addition to building the X-37 and most of the ISS, they build a lot of geosynchronous commercial and military commsats. They built most of the ViaSat spacecraft, for instance, and the Wideband Global Satellite constellation. They built a lot of older stuff too, but those are recent.

The Ars Technica piece is wrong. It’s an easy mistake to make, because it makes such intuitive sense: obviously, cost-plus would be super easy to make money with! But that isn’t actually how it works (you will absolutely lose your shirt on cost-plus if you’re thinking it’s magic money), and it’s miles and miles away…

Super Cruise developed a habit of randomly accelerating toward vehicles ahead of us, then slamming on the brakes when it got too close.

Side note....that’s a killer deal on a Kryptonite Fagheddaboudit.
