Good thing it’s “grounded to the ground” or else there’d be flipped Camrys all over the place!

Too bad us Americans keep showing time and time again that we don’t care about the things that are actually important. Tons of people who say they care about gay and women’s reproductive rights still shop at Chick-fil-a and Hobby Lobby. NFL covers up brain trauma for decades and it’s still the biggest sport in the…

I mean, I’m typically a pretty cautious, doom-and-gloom kind of guy, but here in RI the pandemic is almost completely over, for the most part. We’ve had zero restrictions (for vaccinated people which is on the honor system) here for almost a month and our new cases keep dropping. Looks like June 19th, 20th, and 21st…

Trump always looks like he’s waiting for his train to come in.

Yup, it’s not great if you get it on your skin and it’s really bad if you inhale fumes (and it’ll kill you or make you go blind if you ingest it). “What if” can kill anything if you let it. Electricity is really dangerous and kills lots of people every year, but we all agree the benefits more than outweigh the risks.…

Well, the volcanic CO2 is going into the atmosphere regardless. They can use geothermal heat from the very volcanos they’re capturing the CO2 from to power whatever it is that’s capturing and converting, which is available energy that isn’t being used for anything else. Then they ship that methanol all over the world…

At least you can get the Mach-E without the plastic cladding.

The one that only I seem to car about is time-shift for terrestrial radio. The ability to pause, fast-forward, and rewind live radio. In my car I can hit pause, turn off the car, run into a store for 20 minutes or less, and then pick up right where I left off. Then I can FF through commercials. Also handy for taking…

I liked reading it. Yeah, it felt like an ad, but it had good information in it. If this is what you guys have to do to keep the lights on, I’m OK with it.

I find it interesting, too, that it wasn’t until real, concrete evidence of police behaving badly started coming to light and real talk of reform started becoming mainstream that these disrespectful, desiccated US flags popped up on some people’s lawns and pickup trucks.

“You’re doing great, keep breathing. OK, I can see the tread now, give one more big push!”

Well, at least it’s not just all grille up front. Smart that they’re keeping it all pre-dented from the factory. Save the owner some heart ache when they back it into another car ten minutes after buying it.

I just don’t understand these designers/UI designers some times. The gauge cluster screen has enough resolution that it can beautifully display a frigin’ line graph, but they make the entire left side of it look like it came out of an 80's “futuristic” cluster.

So you’re saying 2GR swap then?

My car recommends premium fuel and, since it’s a high compression turbo engine with the highest factory tune GM uses for that engine, I only ever put 93 in it.

A lot of people get really small minded when it comes to the vehicles we drive. Every vehicle, it seems, needs to be all things all the time. If a new vehicle can’t be a 100% replacement for everything everyone does with that type of vehicle, then it’s a failure and it will never be good.

This statement isn’t technically inaccurate. The early structural battery prototypes have been stronger per kg than traditional materials, so it’s entirely possible that someday an EV with a lot of structural packs could end up weighing less than if it were an ICE vehicle made of steel.

Temporary problem. Energy density of cells keeps going up even without moving to totally new chemistries (which will really increase the density) and a lot of work is going into designing structural battery packs that don’t actually add any weight to the vehicle since they replace heavy, structural components. By the…
