Being around cars and fixing them for more than 50% of my lifetime now, I have naturally tuned out any / all sounds that are unrelated to mechanical failure. It is crazy how much money goes into NVH, just to make whiny people stop whining and buy the machine. Also, since car prices are ultra-inflated beyond

This is a pretty good perspective shared here. With all the political noise focused on people with some type of “Psychological differences”, we forget about people who have differences that are quite explicit (deaf, blind, physically disabled) and still struggle day to day to fit in socially.

The friends guy is now a Top Gear host? I take it behind the scenes he is a car nut? If not, this is dumb.

5,000 Teslas per week?! I worked at an assembly plant making Avengers and 200s, I was there on the front lines the year we pumped out 220,000 of these in 2012. We made about 500-700 cars per day, 6-7 days per week. 5,000 per week is 717 cars per day at 7 days, or 833 per day at 6 days. This is in an environment where

This is the slippery slope. Who determines what constitutes racism? Heresay? Who determines the negative impact on society from the name of a single bridge? What is the scope of this project? If this bridge goes down, what are we going to do about the millions of streets, bridges, tunnels, avenues, parkways, culverts,

RS = cosmetic enhancements

Just so you know, Drunk Drivers kill just as many people as gun murderers do in the U.S. annually. Apparently, multiple DUI offenders are better drunk drivers than the rookies who ruin peoples lives. I personally have had two friends killed by drunks in separate incidents. A third friend, wife, and dog got blasted by

Based on all the different used motorcycles I’ve owned, I don’t think one person every changed the brake fluid. It is the first maintenance I perform on used motorcycles, it is so damn easy and cheap too. Even my old Honda linked braking system was very straight forward sequenced procedure.

Did anyone point out a human can drive coast-to-coast in at most 3 days? Not 3-6 months...

This is why serial killers make good trophy truck pilots; because they feel no empathy for life. For example in this case, they would have probably dropped the hammer to blow through the cow-obstacle.

Good thing to point out. Being below the poverty line does not necessarily indicate you’re living out of an automobile. It also doesn’t consider age, since there are 42 million citizens between the ages of 10-19. When I was 15, I became a tax payer working part-time. You can’t expect a 15 year old kid to pull himself

Community support without the aid of Federal Institutions = Charity

I’m half-Korean and half-White...I have no identity. Maybe someday there will be a “Catch-all History Month” hehe.

If you compare America to other places in 1968, America was the top dog then. America is still the best we have, no matter what flaws you point out, it truly is the best chance the human race has to keep promoting a literally-progressive society. White people bled as well during this time, they deserve credit where

This sounds like it was an accident, a preventable accident most certainly. This is part of the reason we needed Unions [in the 20th Century] and government institutions like OSHA; to protect workers [of any race].

Is there a simple explanation yet for the problem with autonomous vehicles killing humans accidentally? Opps, it didn’t swerve for the 6 year old girl who ran out into the road and pancaked her. I agree, 6 year old girls shouldn’t be playing in roads; however, human [drivers] have sympathy and a conscience; to the

The Fast & Furious release immediately enamors kids from the teens into the twenties (2001). These kids turned adults are now buying these Muscle cars today (30-45 year old males now), fueling this Muscle Car revival of the 2010's.

I image it has something to do with the front and rear drivelines being connected, therefore the wheels are connected. Maybe the reason is (my theory, just speculating): more rear brake bias is beneficial to vehicles stopping on low friction surfaces. If the front wheels are stopping more aggressive, the solid
