When you absolutely have to get every last piece of mulch from the bed of your truck and you forgot your broom.

Oh man, the minitruckin’ scene was crazy fun to follow, and these breakdance trucks were great. I was a wee tyke during its heyday (mid ‘80s through most of the ‘90s) but absorbed it through glossy magazines with tons of bombastic photoshoots. The slammed hardbody + side tilt tonneau or flat panel bed topper was kind…

I sat on the side of 91 for 3 hours once waiting for a tow truck, just south of Hartford.

You can add Pasadena to that list of asshole cities. They'll do whatever it takes to make sure your car gets ticketed for whatever reason  

Just FYI - I lived in West Town in Chicago. My 993 turbo would bump on the speed bumps. They’re plastic curbs bolted into the concrete, not something I have seen anywhere else in the US or the world. I had to crawl over the speed bumps almost to a stop, roll over and stop at the top and then creep down. It was not…

I was about to post this same comment, but you did a much better job.

PROPERLY sized speed bumps are great***

There are some utterly massive speed bumps out there, including in my neighborhood, that no normal cars can get over without scraping.

My stock height 04 GTO scraped over some speed bumps unless I was crawling in the single digits. My stock height C5 Z06 was never ever able to make it over ANY speed bump/hump at any speed without scraping. The entire bottom of the car was scraped up. My stock height Audi A3 consistently scraped a speed hump in my…

This is a bad take. That speed bump specifically causes him problems. Look more closely at the picture. It’s obvious there’s a problem specific to his garage. As he exits his garage, the sidewalk slopes down into a gutter, but the speed bump is much higher than the gutter.

LOOK AT THE PICTURE!!!!! It’s obvious there’s a problem specific to his garage. As he exits his garage, the sidewalk slopes down into a gutter, but the speed bump is much higher than the gutter. It’s damned obvious that clearance is an issue until his tire hits the bump and climbs out of the gutter.

One (of many) reasons SUVs of all flavors, even if they have just an inch or two extra ground clearance over a sedan, are becoming more popular.

there is a shopping center near me that has the most severe speed bumps i have ever seen, you need a jeep to get over them. No joke here i have heard bumper shatter, mufflers catch you name it. This isn’t just for low cars this is for regular stock cars, the shopping center just went WILD with the size of these…

My man, I drive a stock 2019 Corolla Hatchback and I have to go sideways over too many speed bumps and out of steep driveways to avoid fucking up my bumper. In fact, my bumper lip is already slightly cracked from a parking brick that was a extra few inches taller than normal.

In retrospect, he obviously should have poured a little quickset along both edges of the speed bump to smooth it out.

Good point, things worked out just fine for Edsel!

Don’t take this as me saying I like the centring BMW style indicators, they are a bloody awful invention and I agree, what the hell were they thinking!

But you can cancel them, just do a half flick on the stalk (the one that does the 3 blinks for lane changes) in the *same* direction as you’re indicating and they…

I won’t argue that it’s an intuitive design, but they *can* be cancelled. You give the turn signal stalk a push in the same direction as it’s currently indicating to cancel them. If you were to try to push it the other way (as a normal person would try), it starts indicating in the other direction.

Right? A full foot means the difference between a third row that fits adults vs a third row that fits very small children (uncomfortably).

Not only that, but the Outlander is much narrower than the Telluride (74.7" vs 78.3"). 3rd row legroom figure (on paper) makes the Mustang legroom look good.

They oddly did the same thing with the Telluride, comparing it to full size, body on frame, SUVs based solely on its boxy appearance. An extra foot of length is a MASSIVE difference between cars.
