I don’t know if the problem is that they’re giving up, so much as that today’s safety standards translate into a lot of weight (or costly exotic materials); enclosed volume has implications for cross-sectional area; internal-combustion engines as well as drivelines have efficiency floors; making a big heavy vehicle…

Yes, but...

As much as it pains me, I have to totally disagree.

This is a misunderstanding of what impacted the auto industry prior to and during the recession.

- Gas prices were increasing prior to the recession. When the recession hit prices cratered.

Hi Jason! A chilean guy here! The video it’s hilarious, but I feel I should warn you the twitter account you linked is a far-right, trump-stan alike. On the future, please try to avoid giving visibility to account names with ‘patriota’ on them.

Grasshopper body kit? Sign me up!

Okay, so the compact truck model is 1356 lbs. Subtract 200 lbs for the bed you took off to make this fit, so you are adding 1156 lbs. The bulk of that mass will be no higher than a bed full of gravel of similar weight. The water, batteries, appliances, they are all low. About 80% of the weight of this thing is going…

Keep driving, boyfriend.

Minidisks were also a staple medium for people who record live shows at festivals and the like.

If we’re being truly pedantic, “dicycle” is already in use to denote a 2-wheeled vehicle with side-by-side wheels.

It’s probably not property theft. Toyota and Great Wall Cars have multiple joint ventures, and this is likely one of the results of that marriage. They are also working on electric car tech together.

I’m going to say something that many of you will likely never even think about. The difference between a 911 S or a 911 4S, and then the 911 Turbo, in term of buyer, is just your level of crazy.

If it can actually fit in my garage and carry a couple dirtbikes or mountain bikes and preferably get close to 30mpg it would work great as a DD for me.  

I thought I was behind one of those today... but it was just a Civic Type R.

A report from the Bureau of Justice Statistics shows that Black people are 5.2 percent more likely to experience threats of use of force than white people.

More truck hate from Jalop ... surprise surprise.

Southern guy with roots dating back there to the 1700's and with ancestors who fought for the confederacy. Time for the fucking flag to go. Nobody in my family flew it or displayed it. Growing up it was always the most racist pieces of shit who had those things. The people displaying them now have absolutely zero clue…

There’s a guy in San Diego that I used to see on the 805 on one of these and he was a lane splitting maniac! He split about as fast any of the fastest sport bike guys. I hated seeing all in my mirrors and having to pull aside for a guy in full leathers on a bike with a quarter of the displacement of mine.

This is a very odd assortment of parts. A Brooks saddle is an expensive, niche choice that has to be broken in. There are dozens of saddles under $50 that would be a better beginner choice. Tubeless 29-inch tires are also not a common use case except on serious mountain bikes. And those mid-riser bars are more…

Get the Wing. I’ve got a 2014 with all the toys except airbag. It’s dead reliable and handles better than a bike that size has any right to (I regularly scrape pegs riding solo with no worries). The wife and I have done 1,200 mile days and were still in good shape at the end. You want reverse when the bike is that…
