Oooo, very good point! If the system can far out-compress the max height, then they have plenty of head-room for both temperature and longevity. Just another example of the guy thinking about something for five minutes not being able to outdo the engineering team who thought about it and tested it for years.

If there’s a moment where the cabin’s dark and opening the shade destroys your retinas, I’d say they absolutely nailed it. Everything better get muffled and baby at full scream during landing!

The use of DOT4 over DOT3 is kind of a head scratcher for me. Yes, the boiling point is a bit higher than DOT3, but, as you pointed out, the system only gets to about half the rated temperature of the the fluid, which is still well within DOT3 spec. Also, DOT4 is WAY more hygroscopic than DOT3. The general rule for…

I have not, but that’s not the only thing I find fun about driving. I like shifting and slipping the clutch and blipping the throttle. Don’t get me wrong, getting pushed back into your seat is great, but it’s only a fraction of what I (and apparently, a few others) actually want from their cars.

Exactly!

WHY DIDN’T YOU TURN?!!

So, how do the laws work with something like this? If you get your vehicle lodged on top of a parking lot rock, can they force a retest on your license? You have to be dangerously bad at driving your vehicle if you make a mistake that bad. Grab some old Hummer H2s and have them redo the test.

I would LOVE an electric car with a simulated manual stick and clutch setup. In a previous post a while back I outlined, what I felt, is the most viable way to make a manual EV. In short, it’s all simulated. You’re essentially playing a video game with your real world driving. The stick and clutch pedal are just…

I recently had to drive a Ford Escape (my first SUV/CUV experience) and was blown away with how much trouble I had judging where the sides of the vehicle were. The Ford Escape has the same dimensions as a Ford Focus, just lifted. My daily driver is wider by an inch or so and I’ve never had that weird/scary feeling of…

Right, humans look different because for tens of thousands of years they migrated all over the planet and adapted to their very different environments without tools and technology. For all we know, gnomes were born in one place and never migrated elsewhere until they had the technology to survive in other environments…

I always think of it this way. That three inches of empty space just behind the seat in front of me doesn’t belong to me, it belongs to the seat in front of me so they can optionally recline into it.

I think there’s been a perception that the Tesla Model S is a luxury car in the same sense that a BMW or Mercedes is. It’s never been anything more than the Camry/Accord of EVs, so the Taykan being a lot nicer isn’t surprising.

I wouldn’t mind getting that rev-match feature, honestly. I do my best, but just don’t always nail it (like, very rarely do I get it perfect). If I could get that in first and second gear, I think it would go a long way to helping my perpetually car-sick wife.

Toyota thought they knew what the youths wanted, too.

I can’t agree with you more on this and am blown away, and, honestly, concerned by how many people can’t seem to wrap their heads around your point.

No. Those get fixed as needed in an endless loop. There will NEVER be a moment in time where all the schools and all the roads are perfect. Also, at any given point there are numerous schools being built/repaired and numerous roads being fixed/laid. Therefore, holding off on any other project or expenditure until this…

I’m not going to pretend to know how much the expenses are at Jalopnik and how much they make on the ads, but I think there is definitely value in not annoying your customers. That said, they’re the ones with the analytics. Maybe people are annoyed, but they aren’t leaving, or only a few people are, but since it…

I just started using it yesterday specifically for these sites. I can select that single element and block it. Game changer.

I was an arrows move, Space for action, Control for shoot, Shift for sprint, and Alt for strafe kid. That’s how I played Doom and Doom II. Then Duke Nukem 3D came out. It had jump, and I don’t remember howI brought that into the fold, but as Quake and Quake II came out I remember struggling quite a bit. Then I was…

My wife had a 98 Jetta in the early 2000s and hasn’t set foot inside another VW since.
