Muscle memory isn’t the issue here at all. We all build up enough muscle memory to get us in the right area of the control we want in a very short amount of time. The issue is that very few of us (if any, really) can develop the pin-point accuracy and precision to hit that button, and only that button, every single…

The best thing that could happen to that industry if for the current players to fold and for new ones to start up under some actual regulation. If the demand is strong enough (and it seems like it is), some new companies will be more than happy to play by fairer rules to cash in.

I wonder if people built contraptions for the EVs back in the early 1900s that would smack two coconut halves together as the car rolled, you know, to give it that sound of real horse power that EVs lack.

They need to leave some room to grow for easy “upgrades” in the next few years and as to not royal piss off the C7 buyers (and not tank the remaining C7 sales). I bet in a couple of years the base model will be in the mid 500s (if not at 600) for horsepower and be running the quarter in the 10s.

And it’s sold...two days ago. Oh well. If it was a younger car and if we weren’t in the midst of a pandemic, it would have been fun to drive it home to RI from California. What a great price for that car.

If these people end up infecting and killing a parent or grandparent, etc., are they even they type of people to blame themselves and feel overwhelming guilt over their selfishness or would they shift all the blame to the government (or, if they’re a supporter of our current cluster f*, blame the Dems and/or the Chines…

Future sight across rural America:

Came to complain that my car isn’t ideal for heel-toe. First video is literally my car (well, he has the V and mine’s a 2.0T, but the pedals are the same) and he’s doing it like a champ. Guess I have some practicing to do and I need to work on my ankle flexibility. Though, I’m a size 11 narrow, I wonder if that’s…

The spawn thing still doesn’t make sense to me. If lots of people aren’t in a certain area, what does it matter if there are Pokemon there that only a few people can catch. I don’t know, maybe their servers can truly only handle X number of Pokemon on the map, so it makes sense to have the most bang for their buck.

I wish they would introduce an item that could make a temporary PokeStop. I live in the woods and have to DRIVE six minutes to get to the closest stop, let alone walk. Nothing even shows up on the radar until I’m about 2 minutes away from it. There are days were I have to go out of my way to find a PokeStop which…

I’d buy it, if only to resell it at a premium to some up and coming YouTuber who wants to do an LS and manual swap on it.

Right. The fact that you have to phonetically write it as “jif” to convey the wrong pronunciation should be proof enough.

I still think a towable gas/diesel generator would be the ideal range extender for right now (until charging rates get faster). Having an electric vehicle and only using fuel (directly) on long trips (and, really, only for a portion of those long trips) is still a huge reduction in fuel usage overall. Add some storage…

At which point Toyota will jump up and say “Oooo! Hey, could you make a few extra and slap MR2 on the back? Thanks. See, we care about fun, sporty cars!”

This should be a fireable offense. The option to have that symbol turn should never have been on the table at Mini.

I’m six feet tall and couldn’t care less if the person in front of me reclines their seat. Comfort is a state of mind. I feel that the 3 inches just behind the seat in front of me belong to that seat, just like the 3 inches behind my seat belong to my seat. Just because I don’t back my car up to the white line in a…

You should check out this article Jalopnik put out recently that shows how, in most of the country, the average EV is more than 3 times more efficient than the average ICE. In one part of the country it’s almost 10 times more efficient. And that’s just the average. They put up another map that shows how the most…

Another day, another nail in the coffin. I’m holding out as long as I can, but sooner or later, there just won’t be any more manuals for me to buy. Pour one out for all the lost manuals.

Last year they showed the 2-door Gladiator concept. This one appeals way more to me than the 4-door model. Well, that is if I can get it for mid-$20K. Looks like with the Wrangler base model, there’s a $3,500 upcharge adding the two doors. In theory, that would drop the Gladiator to an even $30K, which still seems…

For me, the Buu saga sucked and I was looking forward to TFS fixing it (the Cell saga was far superior to the original and I liked the original). I bet they could have done the whole arc in like five episodes once they cut away all the stupid stuff.
