One reason they are dropping AM radios is because they are doing such a piss poor job of shielding all the computers being crammed into today’s cars. This lack of shielding causes interference with AM radio. The automakers need to properly shield their electronics and keep AM radio not only for emergency use, but for…

Don’t forget about Foamhenge, right outside the gates of Dulles airport! That’s right, it’s Stonehenge, but in foam!

Dear vehicle manufacturers:

six well-appointed bedrooms and 4.1 bathrooms.

“these photos were taken on behalf of real estate agents who don’t know dick about cars, go carts, or racing”

why stonehenge though? oh right, because ultra wealthy people do whatever the fuck they want even if it makes no sense.

This is the picture the real estate agents doesn’t want you to see

Real Q: what’s a “circle of life”?

Is Stonehenge larger than 18" ?

Canadians...

Think I got auto corrected. 

Actually, that is backwards.

It’s the opposite. When you move the load from the receiver out to the ball, the vertical force supported by the hitch stays the same, but the bending moment increases. So, tongue weight should be lower than vertical load limit.

But if you remember your statics class the sun off all forces in a given direction must equal 0 or else the item would be moving.  So if the only force on the hitch is younger weight down, that would be the vertical limit for the hitch as well, that younger weight will also impart a moment on the hitch but that is all…

I can’t find any confirmation that it’s J2807 certified. Obviously we’ve seen it tow loads that would likely put more than 160lbs of downward force on the hitch, but between the lack of clear certification and Whistlin’ Diesel’s video, it does seem like there’s a real possibility that it didn’t clear the 2500 lb…

Funny, I was just looking at the tongue weight capacity on a Polestar 2, which is like 200 lbs. A relatively small car with a STOWABLE hitch, not even a fixed bolted-on setup, has a higher vertical load capacity than a “truck” that’s supposedly indestructible and “built for Mars” or some shit? If you tried to carry a…

Isn’t the tech billionaire motto “forget certifications, let’s break stuff...”

Or is that just on submersibles? 

A vertical weight limit for something like a hitch-mounted bike rack could potentially stress different components than a trailer since all of the weight is on the hitch without any wheels of its own to distribute the weight

Don’t get dumped while using your BumperDumper. 

Apparently this truck can’t even handle one of those Harbor Freight “trailers-in-the-box”.
