IIRC, one generation of the Cadillac CTS-V used 6-lug hubs from a heavy duty truck. It was really weird to see 6 lugs on a mid-sized sedan.

The sound profile of that BRM engine is so cool. It sounds like 4 completely different engines blaring through a common exhaust.

Episode 2: Watch My Scooter Car Burst Into Flames

Like it or not, luxury car brands sell all sorts of ridiculous lifestyle merchandise at a healthy markup. Tesla is just following the lead. Not that Tesla is a luxury brand, it’s just the MSRP of some of their cars is in luxury territory.

I’m glad it’s sub-2.5s, because anything 2.6s or above would just be unacceptable.

With all the emphasis on off road capability and overlanding it does not really make sense to have those fancy floor mats.

We have a 2021 Venza and two of the biggest annoyances are the complete lack of an overhead sunglasses cubby (despite having plenty of real estate because there is no sunroof) and the incredibly tight phone storage cubby under the HVAC controls. The car does not have wireless CarPlay which means you must plug in which…

It’s not the weight, it’s the density and resulting concentration of force upon impact. 45lbs distributed over the size of a city bus might evenly dent the roofline a little.  45lbs condensed to the size of a pea might pierce the roof and floor.

All I can picture is Trump in the front pew with that impatient edge-of-the-seat posture, tiny hands spread open with the left and right fingertips bouncing off their opposite, looking around the room with that scowl, just waiting for service to be over so he can stand up and do that cheesy power handshake thing to…

He answered their prayers. It just wasn’t the answer they were looking for.

As rare as the F1 already is, this one has the rare High Downforce Kit. Any tiny mishap would cause my soul to leave my body as well.

The quoted press release snippets are overly descriptive and dry. Sounds like AI wrote it.

Feels like AI could have written most of that quoted content from Toyota.

The carmaker says the recall applies to models “with a specific V35A engine that contains crankshaft main bearings which allow the crankshaft to rotate within the engine assembly while running.”
