What I like to do is calculate the amount of fuel that an idling engine would use, then work out whether the fuel required to make up for the decelerative forces produced by remaining in gear would be more or less than the former value at that moment in time, continuously evaluate the two, and then not give a…

My 20 year old Volvo scoffs in the face of such advice. I find I can cure most any fault on the car by driving it, slowly and in the passing lane, and never using the turn signal.

Structural engineer here. The fact that this is the largest of the 3 (apparent) braces running across the short axis of the car to stiffen the frame rails tells me it has the most load on it (yes real engineering-ish). I’m having a hard time orienting the pictures with each other but regardless: corners are always the…

That’s too generous, just give him a shovel and a hand crank come along.......preferrably of the Harbor Freight bargin bin variety.

Maybe the Secret Service guys were just as hopeful as most of us.

I see you shiver with antici

This is how socialism finds work for everyone.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say that “speeds approaching 100 mph” are a lot less dangerous than literally flying down the wrong side of the freeway to chase them down. Just incredible.

Of course the husband found it.

Little known fact: this is how the Forester was born.

“It’s not exactly clear why GM characterized itself like this; Tesla, for instance, started putting autonomous hardware in every vehicle it makes since last October.”

Back in the Seventies funny cars were a wild circus-like attraction for dragstrips to have during a race weekend. My dad drove and wrenched on his own funny car in that circuit.

The most important thing to remember about these hikers is that they smell TERRIBLE. It is a stench that will permeate your car.

So much hype around the Dodge Demon and yet this Nissan Maxima is clearly a hell of a drag racer.

Ouch, that impact probably knocked his monocle out.

Giving tree has zero fucks left to give.

And that is pretty much why Tesla is ranked as low as they are. Their strategy depends on old technology, using 8 cameras, but their execution is only using 2. Meanwhile, over in Dearborn & Warren, they’re using more advanced technology, and they’re using it more effectively.

They are not using LIDAR, therefore their tech will always be inferior.

Please be real. Please be real. Please be real.

That motocyclius beneficato tree likely saved his ass.
