Not sure why they’re tearing it down, now that the road is closed just hit it with a truck going the other direction

The Chevy Goliath, making 80's kids cry at a dealer near you

This is basically where modern truck design is headed.

Tesla started out strong with the Roadster.

This has always annoyed me. Why is it that the rear quarter panel is part of the unibody but all the other panels (save for the roof) are removable and replaceable.

Rear quarter panels. Think about it. You can replace pretty much any other body panel except the roof with just a few bolts. Why not the rear quarters?

Fortunately he lives in Singapore where he’ll have good healthcare.

Long before smartphones or even cell phones becoming ubiquitous, I once passed a guy who was reading a paperback book while driving. The assholes don’t change. Only the technology that the assholes use does.

And before they start talking it requires them to take 6 minutes to figure out what they want.

No point in fretting over the natural self-selection of idiots. I would honestly find it a point of interest. I’d probably name it the natural selection pool and commission a fiberglass sculpture of the car crashing through he fence as a party piece.

Newer signs show your speed until about 10-15 over at which point it just says “SLOW DOWN” to prevent exactly that kinda of behavior.

camo is a cultural identifier. 

We still use Lead-Acid batteries that vent Hydrogen to start cars...

My local Toyota dealership has no new Camrys on the lot. So, 1st gear checks out around here.

When the 17 year old third owners start getting their hands on the Hellcats, I think that’s going to be the revelation for most people that 700 hp might be just a tad much. I can already hear the crying and see the lines at the local funeral parlor.

All the good that someone can do with money late in life... helping with the environment, education, health.. and they choose things like this.

We are one giant step closer to having billionaires funding their own private armies to enforce the political positions they prefer anywhere in the States.

I believe this is the biggest problem. A job like that just has to be mentally scarring and the fact that they don’t have mandatory counseling is disturbing. Though I’m sure if they tried to mandate it the unions would fight it. Until mental health is destigmatized too many bros would see counseling as admitting
