Tanks for that analysis.~

ABC News added that “it wasn’t clear” how much oil had spilled from the tank.

Working in the Aerospace industry, this is 100% true. Sometimes the lead times for those test facilities is measured in YEARS. Same goes for the equipment needed to perform that work in-house (and you can’t really use the same equipment for newer generation technology, it must be replaced or upgraded at significant…

One observation I have is that auto manufacturers do not manufacture the ECUs and infotainment systems that go into their cars. They contract that out to suppliers. Toyota weathered it best because they cultivate a strong relationship with their suppliers and track parts the suppliers need that will affect their…

That’s good to hear. The new hotness is all well and good, but I’d like to avoid the new radioactiveness.

This is all very simple.

Hold my beer

the root cause of the issue though was that the car companies were too quick to cancel large orders of chips at the start of the pandemic for fear of looking bad to wall street by carrying too much inventory. when they did that, the companies who had been nursing along the old fabs to build those chips said “finally!”…

NASA uses the same old-but-proven tech with their satellites and probes for the same reasons.

Great article, more in depth stuff like this please.

DeVry will be devastated.

He's identifying the client's class in the hierarchy.

Rolling coal when a person is in the vicinity and when the individual rolling coal intentionally or knowingly causes that excess exhaust to contact that bystander is AT A MINIMUM an assault. They are causing their vehicle to “spit” on a living, breathing, human being that is worthy of dignity and not having his or her…

My client is a young man in high school with college aspirations.

oh f*ck off with this “privilege’ nonsense.

Well, if he lives in his Mom’s basement...

On top of the chip shortage, there is still a labor shortage, I wouldn’t touch anything with a 2021 model year and possibly 2022. Knowing an import company’s quality issues in Manufacturing that would normally get caught. Along with seeing all of the issue with domestics. (Transmissions burning themselves up at 1000 mi…

I think I’m an outlier, I’ve always loved cars but now I almost never drive. I’ve tried to arrange all my trips to be local / bikeable / scooterable. The idea of buying a car just seems so much of a PITA (and a money sink). I’m actually kinda bummed, but cars are so expensive to maintain and upkeep, I’d love to just…

Things are getting pretty bad out there. One of my best mates has a 10 year old GTi that just crapped out on him and needs a new engine and is looking at either leasing a new S3 or buying one that is a year or two old. He asked for advice and mentioned that his parents are getting rid of their 10 year old Prius and…

Yep, we’re waiting. We had this big plan to hand down my wife’s Outback to our new-driver son and she was going to get a Telluride. Considering I’ve only seen 2 new-model Tellurides driving around since their release and have read plenty of stories of bad deals at the dealership, he’ll have to share with us until…
