“You continue to think Trump capitulated to Putin, but it’s the other way a around.”

Russia is a major supplier of a particular sort of oil to the US. It became useful to import that when other foreign suppliers of similar composition became unavailable. Refinery operations are built for particular oil compositions and it was easier to shift the supply origin than re-build the refinery. Presently the…

At first, ardently MAGA trucker Bob Bolus vowed that his makeshift “freedom convoy” making a beeline from Scranton, Pennsylvania to D.C. this week would “choke” the nation’s capital like a boa constrictor in protest of vaccine mandates.

The United States never, not for one minute of the pandemic, had any sweeping federal mandates. There’s nothing to even protest in D.C.

“Bolus was reportedly lost on his way to D.C. and ready to go home.”

I love that the tweet refers to “Steam games” as some singular whole. How many Steam games only work on Windows, while the platform itself is available on Mac and Linux? Sure, the current Tesla hardware has some fairly impressive graphics capability, but how many engines (Unity, Unreal, Frostbite, Havok, etc),…

Yo, I understand being able to tackle more than one task at a time but why wouldn’t a company devote more resources to more important features? Or features that would cause more people to buy your vehicles?

Remember when a car was for getting around, going from A to B and getting stuff done?

Its an ironic question when the Cybertruck is not even a guarantee.

While you’re right about the Renesis being hard to live with at a certain point you have to go “well then this isn’t the car for me” instead of putting an LS in it.

Well, if the Type-S gets AWD, then the Civic Type-R most certainly will. And that is an encouraging thought. 

I’ve always liked the look of these

I agree with you in theory, but man those Renesis engines are tough to live with from what I know.

I’m not sure it really matters what President Biden does, not until we know whose side China is going to take. If China doesn’t join in on sanctions, they will be effectively toothless.

There is a special place in hell for people who engine swap RX-anything with a V8. Why buy a car built on it being lightweight and then un-lightweight it and mess up the weight balance? People don’t understand and are scared of rotary engines and that’s why these didn’t sell well. The LS is a great engine, way better…

Honestly an EV swap would be better for an RX-8.

A friend has the Shinka edition. I drove it before it grenaded. It was cool. Not cool enough to own and live with though. He put in a used engine with 40k on it that was shipped from Japan, and that grenaded within 150mi.

These later RX8s are generally a whole lot more reliable, and more valuable than the early ones... but no leather and a clutch gone at 50k..? eh? I wouldnt say its a HORRIBLE price, especially since its on CL, the land of negotiations... but at its advertised... ND... At its actual sale price that will be closer to…

Oh god no. There are a million reasons you don’t see these on the roads anymore

Another check it needs, in addition to the one you suggest, is “I’ve noticed a low traction situation x number of times in less than y number of minutes”, to disable FSD for the remainder of the drive. Kicking the traction control in three times within 5 minutes, or for longer than 3 seconds in one occurrence should…
