Volvo’s Rebel Blue (later called Cyan Racing Blue). They just said f it.. paint the car the color of the Swedish flag. Not only does it look great on Volvos but it seems to have inspired a lot of copycats.

The short of it is there wasn’t a standard yet when Tesla released their NACS, and they were tired of waiting for SAE/ACEA. The Tesla design has seemed to win out against CCS, as many manufacturers are transitioning to NACS within the next few years. (it seems to be a better design beside the fact its more ubiquitous d…

“And the name is in like bright blue neon lights with like purple outline. And this name is just so bright and so sharp that the sign - it just blows up because the name is so just. powerful. - - It says: ‘Dusty Deevers.’”

Jalopnik aggregating an Autopian article has a real full-circle feeling about it.

Not sure why anyone is trash talking the GMT900 hybrids. Overall MPG went from 16 to 20, and the city went from 12MPG to 20 MPG. Those are huge efficiency gains % wise. 

For the uninitiated, Bubbles explains piss jugs:

How are we living in a universe where Mark Zuckerberg is the rational adult?

“Well some people try to pick up girls
And get called assholes
This never happened to Pablo Picasso
He could walk down your street
And girls could not resist his stare and
So Pablo Picasso was never called an asshole”

Had to scroll way too far to find this.  These things still look amazing today, and as you said, pop ups aside a clean example looks fresh out the show room

The 1990's RSX-7, obviously! It’s 30 years old and I think that on the outside (minus the pop-up headlights), it could pass as a brand new car today.

I found the “polish the shoes” comment funny given that is kind of the modern equivalent of Jesus’ washing of the feet... 

“and a picture of a duck on the top of the screen”

It’s named Flipper. It’s a picture of a fucking dolphin.

Yes, and its companion piece from dealers “how much do you want to pay each month?”

Im probably the only one here that thinks the price for this is actually very reasonable, considering it is a Porsche made part. I had a 987 Cayman and to buy the upgraded PCM alone (not including the nav computer) was over 3K for the part. This, at half the price well over a decade later..seems fantastic. 

It would be a good followup to see if this program covers the cost of the charger, or the cost of the charger including its installation. Those can be VERY different things. (the press release makes no clarification) Most L2 chargers are not particularly expensive; getting power to them can be a very different matter. 

I expected more jorts despite the cold temps.. 

I got my son (now 11) into Dr Who a few years ago.. and your comment is spot on. it is so stretched out that everyone looses interest in the show. We were talking about the new season and he told me that it’s hard to be excited about the show because there are too few episodes, spread out over years. Granted, he is…
