Well, right of the bat, you get advantages such as no oil changes. But yes, an EV drivetrain is far simpler (from a mechanical standpoint). You don’t even have a transmission to worry about, just a single fixed gear. And motors can pretty much run for a decade or 2 maintenance free.

There are benefits to the hurdle, for example, free publicity. At this point Tesla is supply capped, not demand capped, so fighting this hurdle has been no net lose to Tesla. And so far they have won most of their battles.

And of course the dealer cares about what cars he sells, this goes double for EVs. For EVs, the…

I don’t know. I sort of agree with them. Keith Law should really start spending more of his time lecturing his employers on how they do business.

3 idiots. "I can't believe you were parked in the middle of the road and I almost hit you because I was going way to fast to stop around a blind turn." So much fault to be had, enough for everyone. Dude's an ass for stopping and not pulling over out of the road but what if the car had been crashed there. They'd still…

That's painful to see

The worst one I ever saw (I worked at an aftermarket Euro-centric shop for three years) was an exploded transfer case. The owner must have switched their Jeep Grand Cherokee out of 2H and driven it for a while.

The neighbor kid bought my WRX. His step dad asked him one night if he'd been checking the oil and he said "every time I get gas." Neighbor said "let's go check it now," and after a few minutes with a dumb look on his face he asked "how do you open the hood?"

One by my sister, she blew the engine in her Mazda 6 trying to climb an icy hill because she over reved it and she was out of oil. When I asked if she had oil, she said "I have 3 months til my next oil change"

I had a stuck throttle on one car.
Floored a car at the takeoff on a red light. The cable from having the car layed up for about 6 years decided to catch around a kink or fray or something and get stuck with the pedal down.

This makes Gawker sites much better:

Not in France, as "MR2" would be read as "merdeux", which translates to "shit" or "shitty"; not unlike Chevrolet with the Nova in Spanish-speaking countries. I believe it was marketed in France as an MR Spyder.

No need to reinvent the wheel, especially when reinvention can make the wheel much less safe.

Man, I want a Fuel Shark for Christmas!

I was kind of hoping this will drive the price of the stock down so I can get back in.

It's easy to make fun of this bulbous Jolly Rancher now, but I bet it blew people's Backstreet Boys-loving minds a decade ago.

Yeah, I love driving the FR-S. Once I autocrossed it all my mod plans went out the door. I decided to stay in CS and try to outfit the car to be as competitive as possible within the class. I realized that I need to improve my driving skills more, and that seems like the best way to go about doing that.

They have 0 grip, which is the exact reason they were chosen. Toyota/Subaru wanted the car to be a lot of fun to drive, and when the rear end kicks out at the slightest application of throttle in a turn it certainly is fun. However, when it comes to laying down hot lap times at your local autocross, the stock tires…

In case any of the victims of the crimes I committed to go to prison are reading this, allow me to apologize and assure you that I am not ignorant of the damage I caused. I've been robbed myself; I know it is scary. You could not have known how unwilling I was to hurt anyone and it pains me to think that I even scared…
