Funny how as-is laws are always met with “you don’t have to buy it” for the suffering customers, but the defense from that auto sales industry is “we have to buy it”. You don’t have to buy that clapped out altima, my friends. If you don’t buy it, you can’t re-sell it. If you do buy it, you still don’t have to sell it…

As Is sales needs to be banned, at least for commercial dealers. It is one thing for ordinary folks to be selling something as is, we’re not trying to make a profit or run a business, and can’t be expected to be spending time doing in depth inspections, but a dealer who sells every day? They are either selling…
Imagine being that dude and all these years later, still referencing his douchery.
1.5, maybe 2 psi.
I think the commenters nailed it. It was certainly a software glitch, don’t you love our EV future, where it seems the right wheel stopped or locked up maybe, or even switched to reverse and it kind of “tank turned” into the hay, you can see it seemingly happen a second time with it suddenly starts reversing after a…
The stig was found in the abandoned office eating soup crackers off the floor
You do know that it is/was a magazine first, right?
The originals were quartz, too. Quartz watches can be genuinely excellent, and the convenience is unbeatable. But $1,500 for this is pants-on-head stupid. They’re clearly targeting the Kith collector more so than the watch person.
I have no idea what this article is mad about. It’s a lot of ink to spill just to say “I think Singer’s tuned Porsche’s look bad” so I assume there’s more to it than that, but....I don’t think there is?
When DeLorean is the model for how something SHOULD be done, you know you done fucked up.
Counterpoint: I’ve seen three Singers. One was driven hundreds of miles to go to the Sportscars Togetherfest at Indy in Sept 2022. The second was likely driven thousands of miles across multiple states to be parked in the infield (Porsche Corral) at the 2023 Daytona 24 Hours. The third was driven about a hundred…
One of the cool things about old 911's is that many have seen quite a bit of use. Cars that have been well use tend to need restoration (or at least some sort of refurbishment). Once that happens, originality goes out the window.
Do you ever wonder why everyone finds Porsche people, and especially purists, insufferable?
After welding stainless steel, and before bolting any other parts to it, you are supposed to degrease it and then passivate it with citric acid or nitric acid. This removes free iron from the surface and forces the chromium to form a protective oxide layer, thereby preventing the exact problem we are seeing with the…
Fuck that. That’s way too much effort for something that is going to happen all the time. You’re basically washing and polishing your truck every time someone touches it. Yet another reason this truck is beyond stupid.
I was pretty sure it was a dream, but I thought she’d wake up in a ditch, having nodded off again and run off the road.
While I’m not a fan of government overreach, I think the happy middle ground would indeed to be to require pickups to be registered as commercial vehicles. Either by business registration, maybe somebody sign up for an LLC, or just some higher registration tax rate
Just a precision that Impulse is not momentum, but the change in momentum, meaning Impulse = p_fnal - p_initial or Δp. An indeed Δp= F_avg *time_collision.
Surprise! We haven’t just been making cars deformable to absorb energy for the fun of it. The energy generated when coming to a sudden stop has to go somewhere and if it isn’t the car, the people inside are the sponges for that energy. Hit a solid object with a solid hammer as hard as you can and see how your hand…
