I think there are a few things here.

I said a heavier Cruze, as in the Volt is a heavier Cruze....

“For company cars, the story is much worse, with the electric drivetrain accounting for just 11% to 24% of total mileage. That’s mostly a European phenomenon, and is likely because many of the drivers of company cars are not paying the fuel costs for their vehicles. As a result, they have little incentive to charge.”

Ba…

You can hotspot your phone to the car if you don’t have a data plan with the car. I didn’t know this (#IworkforGM) before and for a while I thought it was BS none of the feature basically works if you got no data.
You can also still play audio and whatnot with your phone with BT, if you have a lot of offline music…

I mean $3k on a car that cost $6k more.....

Neither are cheap car for their shitbox roots. Thats just yet more money....

And I already spent more on wheels and tires for my autoX setup....

The seats to me are the deal breaker for Acura. Coming from FK8 and now to FL5, and having owned 2 GTI before that, these seats in the Type R are the business. Ridiculously supportive for driving but doesn’t fatigue you on long drive.

I honestly can recall more years of Indy with rain delay than without.....such as life in the midwest in this time of the year...

Michelin also entered 2 car, in partnership with GM. An E-Ray(9th) and a CT4-V Blackwing(25th)

Also the Aeroscreen Indycar uses still has the same basic Halo structure under the screen. 

Surprised no one bought wheels.....

Still find it amazing that for most car companies(not all anymore because of the direct sales model that exists), their sole point of direct customer contact is through dealers where they have 0 control over that experience. 

Correction on the F-Duct, McLaren famously designed the duct work as part of their tub and place the “switch” (the hole they cover) in the tub near driver’s knee, McLaren driver uses modified kneepad to cover the hole.

The rest of the teams copied it without that bit of packaging so they have to use a hole thats being…

787-9 is bigger than A340-300? I am pretty sure they fly those to Antarctica too

Was gonna say this. Philando did everything the 2A worshippers tell you to do in an interaction with cop and still got shot dead. What happened to this guy who is actively disobeying and resisting with a loaded gun at the standby was not going to end up in a good position when his gun was discovered...

ACAB but also…

A motorsport related story to something like this was pretty famous 20+ years ago:

I’ve gotten to watched this nearly a month ago. I think the more of a fan you are to GT or racing(or familiar with Jann’s story) the less you might like it. For layman, I think it could be an entertaining if not a bit cheesy movie...

He raced on after 2015. Went to Super GT for a few years racing in GT300 then GT500 cars. I think he is working on going back to Super GT now. I think most recently he raced in a Super Taikyu race in a GT3 car earlier this year...

I did see the movie since there was a local preview that I signed up for. It was...ok. For the Netflix crowd who has nothing on the background of anything going in, it is probably a 6/10 movie. If you know the history of the competition and Jann’s rise through it, and maybe a fan of GT or racing or both, the movie is…

WB didn’t do the mesh up, and neither Barbie or Oppenheimer were made to celebrate the war or the deaths of the Atomic bombings. Japanese twitter chose to read it as such.

And Japan doesn’t need to make a celebratory video of Nanking, or any numerous crimes their Imperial army have committed, they have Yasukuni Shrine…

When this thing literally sits in Marunouchi next to the Imperial palace, hard to take any of their apologies at face value.
