Wikipedia mentions multi-row radial engines (even number of rows = even number of cylinders), and some two-stroke diesel prototypes with four or eight cylinders, but other than that, it looks like they’re all odd-numbered. This allows the firing order to proceed uniformly around the engine with one cylinder in…

I like that idea; it wouldn’t be a V600, but it sure would be cool. Do radial engines come with even numbers of cylinders?

If one wanted to build an actual V600 engine, should one use 100 V6s in a row, 50 V12s in a row, or two banks of 50 I6s each? Asking for a friend.

Counterpoint: a famine.

Conversely, cab-forward vehicles are much safer in rear-end collisions.

So imagine this situation I found myself in last year. I was driving on the highway at night. The speed limit was 65. Traffic in front of me had stopped because of construction, so I stopped. The F-150 behind me did not stop, but pushed me into the truck in front of me (also a Ford F-series, coincidentally). The left…

I was wondering that myself. Jalopnik seems so much more normal than it normally does.

Spoken like someone who doesn’t know what “cool” is.

Minivans are the cargo shorts of cars. They fit everyone with plenty of room to spare, they can carry all your stuff, they’re comfortable, and they open in cool ways.

Not when you need somebody to help you move a couch.

Please don’t become Torch. The world needs exactly one Torch; no more, no fewer.

During my most recent move, I filled my 2011 Elantra Touring with:

This should have been an episode of Top Gear: a race where James May travels across the sea in a flying boat without flying, while Richard Hammond travels across the land in a flying car, also without flying, and Jeremy Clarkson flies around in a normal plane, watching them from above, pointing and laughing.

I have never had the misfortune to see rabies in a human (except on one episode of House), but I’ve read about it. It’s pretty high up there on my list of Ways I Would Prefer Not To Die.

Sadly, it is. But fortunately, human cases are extremely rare. I hear the shots are quite unpleasant, but not nearly as unpleasant as dying of rabies.

It’s worse than that; the synth track is off by about a quarter-step. There are literally no frets on Eddie’s guitar that will make those notes.

That’s what I thought too, but the Wikipedia article on rabies mentions other diagnostic techniques. Maybe they’re too expensive to use on animals.

See, you say that, but I think with animals, diagnosing rabies usually involves killing it first. I could be wrong; I hope I’m wrong.

I didn’t actually watch the video, but that makes me sad. If you’re going to shoot an animal, why would you not finish the job?

If this is a joke, it is a good joke.
