Counterpoint: Automatic carwashes give me anxiety because of all the possible scratches my vehicle is likely subjected to and the terrible job done by most automated carwashes.

These are good too but I feel the Challenger front clip is a little slimmer looking 

This is cool, now do one with a modern Challenger front clip and all the improvements these guys are dreaming of.

I picked up on that section too but I'm confused because at the beginning the article talks about how this setup will cool the road in the summer.....what, how? Pretty sure biomass won't help pull heat from a system.

The SRBs (where this o-ring existed) do not see the same cytogenetic, extremely low temps as the main tank. These o-rings would only be exposed to ambient temps.

You nicely sum up my understanding of the disaster and the headline (along with various excerpts you identify) are click-baity. I doubt any of this really surprises you.

Wow, that is one homely looking vehicle, great job Argo!

I’m a little late to the party but I’d venture to say the Corvair is underappreciated, here's a very stock example.  I'd drive the eff out of this.

You’re relating thickness and a measurement of area, square feet....I don’t follow your logic. If you said it was 2 cubic feet of steel for to cover this vehicle with 15 sqft at 1.18" thick then I could understand. Can you take another stab at it?

As others have mentioned, there’s no way this thing has steel plate over an inch thick, covering all the panels, firewall and inner frunk, only adding 660 pounds to the original weight. I’d expect double that if not more, at the quoted 1.18" thickness.

Do you have any good suggestions on co-op maps?

I will add that the the term was later, commonly used incorrectly to refer to alloy wheels.

Sad, I use the terms meats if I see a muscle car with “steam rollers” for rear tires, I’m an old.

Mag wheels referred to true magnesium wheels that were used for racing. Rarely they were polished, almost all I’ve ever seen were a rough or very oxidized surface finish.

This is super cool to see, what will likely be one of the most mass produced modern mid-engined vehicles, in pieces so early on.

Interesting, so the crank sprocket and the crank are not directly connected, that must be the case.

Yes, this makes total sense but it also means there would be no ability to coast, since the crank is directly fixed to the rear hub....surely they didn’t build a bike where the pedals always need to spin, right?

Sounds cool and would have been interested if it was not on Motor Trend on Demand, bummer.

Years ago, when I first learned of an impact driver like this I thought the same thing as many others, “how is this going to help me?”

You’ve brought some intriguing arguments to this discussion, thanks for sharing.
