They should totally go to the expense to federalize this car. They would easily sell tens of them in the US.

You can go buy a 2020 Toyota Yaris for under $16,000. It has around 400 miles of range, it’s more practical for a single-vehicle household (in terms of flexibility, if not size), and far easier in general to have serviced. No EV manufacturer has a counter to this, nor will they for years to come. The point is that…

Are you new here or something?   This is like bread and butter to most of us.

A Ford GT would make an awesome KITT.

I feel like someone like Netflix or Amazon Prime needs to follow you with a film crew and make a series of documentary series’ about your many wonderfully terrible ideas. Call it “Reckless Wrenching with David Tracy”.

I’m confused and I know little about how Telsa’s work... or don’t. So when driving down the interstate with traffic at 85 mph, on a 100 degree day, and suddenly a popup thunderstorm just dumps a deluge of water, and people start panic braking, I literally will be blind for several seconds because I hit the wiper stalk…

Question: Why does anyone prefer using a manual offroad?

To a Rolls Royce buyer, this is like the choice between paying $4 for a “new” sandwich vs. $1.59 for a half eaten one.

I’ve never been able to understand the notion of a sporty wagon. I mean, I get it - you want something that doesn’t wallow in the turns quite as much as it could. And having spent a fair amount of time in every seat of some full size 1960s American wagons, I know from wallowing.

Draining Lead Acid Batteries dead and then recharging them kills them quicker

“Installation is the reverse of removal” is the cruelest hoax perpetrated on the amateur mechanic.

The real reason for flying boats was the fixed pitch prop. Prior to adjustable pitch props you had either a climb or cruise prop, if you wanted to be able to cruise at altitude at a decent speed and at a low cruise RPM you needed a flat pitch prop. This was the equivalent of fifth gear in a car and just like top gear…

He’s definitely a racer. He participates in, and occasionally finishes, races. That doesn’t mean he’s a good one, but he’s out there and we aren’t. 

Ave is another foul-mouthed canadian youtuber, if that’s your thing:

$kaycog is a national treasure who truly deserves this.

I’m speechless, but with 36,895 comments, I haven’t always been speechless.  This post is the best prize ever!  Thanks so much, Andrew!

ha ha ha ha tough shit good luck with that, professor

Certainly people should pay attention. But most car-pedestrian accidents aren’t because someone stepped in front of a car that didn’t have time to stop.

And how about drivers look up from their cell phones long enough to notice that there are pedestrians in marked crosswalks that they have a legal obligation to stop for?
