I miss the days when grumpy, whiny, angsty people would post their innermost thoughts and complaints on semi-anonymous .net blogs where they could be safely (and well-deservedly) ignored.

In Flint they might actually need the subs to protect them from the water...

The underwear was a fire hazard not because of the material, but because it included a large lithium-ion battery in the crotch, designed to provide a power boost to an electric vehicle. Racing officials were first clued in by the high voltage cable dangling out of the pants of each driver.

The Tundra’s fuel economy isn’t great (16mpg on hills, 12mpg towing a cattle trailer on the freeway), but I’m not sure where the tow capacity/bed size/cab size complaints are coming from. I drive a 2012 Tundra that has an 8'2" bed (you can stack full sheets of plywood or 2x4s in it and keep the tailgate up), 10,000lbs…

“Too much downforce on the rear-end.” is what you never say to your girlfriend.

Why aren’t the motorcycles autonomous and electric? That’s the only way to save the environment and prevent the possibility of injury or entertainment.

Drive it like you stole it from Immortan Joe

Up next: Florida man says he wasn’t Breaking and Entering with the intent to commit Assault and Battery. In a recently released statement he clarifies his intent: “See, they were all different things. I broke the window. That’s just breaking, so that’s not a crime. Then I went in, so that’s entering. No crime! Then I…

As “cool” as the model 3 is, articles like this make me think that it’s wandered off from the “affordable electric vehicle” ideal. Rather than accepting the existence of adjustable air vents, designers are forced to maintain an Apple product style at the expense of functionality.

Things to consider regarding remote control of fully autonomous vehicles:

I love that Tesla exists, and is developing batteries and self-driving capabilities that could one day appear in cheap, reliable electric vehicles.

This just in: Harley Davidson motorcycles are actually time machines. As soon as you purchase one, you’re transported 30 years into the future, to a time when your motorcycle is slow, dated, and in desperate need of repair. Your hair grows and you gain a full beard, as well as a beer gut and a longing for the good old…

And after you get behind it, you’d stay behind it, because there’s no way you’re passing it.

Some of the reasons I don’t watch racing:

How much does a Prius body kit go for?

He has 20/20 hindsight.

The real question is how they’ll switch all the vehicles from left hand drive to right hand drive, and vice versa. That’s a much bigger engineering problem than the bridge itself. I imagine that the entire span will be sided with robotic arms capable of disassembling and reassembling each vehicle over the course of…

Yes, in olden times people had an extremely small FOV, everything moved in a jittery fashion, and colors had not yet been invented.

I’ve got a crazy idea: mandate much, much smaller batteries on the vehicles. I’d watch racing if the first few laps were aggressive and competitive with excellent acceleration, vehicles competing for the leading spots, then the cars start running low on power, droning towards the finish line at 30 mph... 25 mph... 20…
