Your pun deserves a V Star...

Damages estimated in the tens of dollars.

I’m sure he had that sinking feeling.

Always love me a colour that looks like black from far away but when you look up close it’s a deep shade of blue or green or whatever.

As usual, Torch has the correct answer.

I think Jason totally nailed this one. I would absolutely do exactly what he proposed with that Jag.

Although...seeing that R63 drivetrain swapped into this would be a whole lot of interesting.

As a former hobby shop employee selling R/C cars, I’m actually more interested in what R/C chassis this is built on/off of.

I don’t even like SUVs but arguing to get rid of them because we don’t “need” them leads us down the absurd path where we all live in tiny rooms, wear identical gray clothing, and subsist on nothing but gruel, water, and multivitamins. You’d be surprised how little you actually “need” in life.

I’ve been sitting here, reading replies, and trying to understand this. Here’s what I’ve come up with so far:

On slick surfaces, standard brake bias is actually BAD brake bias. By default, most vehicles are heavily biased towards the front. On slick surfaces, the fronts can’t do anywhere close to as much braking as…

My guess: The axles being locked to each other means that the system has more rotational inertia and thus resists locking up. Even if the front wheels want to lock up, the rear wheels which aren’t receiving as much brake are still providing momentum. It’s like putting weaker brakes on the front (or heavier wheels) in…

ABS isn’t meant to reduce stopping distances. It’s meant to allow more control. If having it in 4WD lets you lock up all 4 wheels because locking one effectively locks at least 2 then this could be the explanation.

Genius. I have new shitty neighbors across the street that love to park like assholes on either side of my driveway (and rev the shit out of their fart canned CRV and Civic at 2 AM). I had to leave a note one night because half of one of their cars was actually blocking my driveway and I had just enough room to…

Isn’t America an amazing country? Total strangers loaned you enough money that you could buy one of life’s necessities at less than 5% interest.

At the Grassroots festival in Trumansburg NY this past summer, I found a food stall that had cheese fries, but the cheese was melted delicious Gouda. I think about those fries often, and hope I can find them again this coming summer.

That’s an Osh Kosh. The most front-engined thing I’ve ever seen. The engine is so front it’s almost a rear engine for the car in front of it.

That’s not really a counterpoint - those people are exactly the ones who should be spending less time on their phones. If you’re sneaking away from work to scroll social media in a bathroom stall, you need to chill out on the phone thing.

I took my wife to an upscale restaurant for her bday. On their menu was duck fat fries. I ordered them, but changed my mind after a snooty waiter told me they wouldn’t pair with my entree.
