There’s not even such a thing as “passing” a crash test. Most of the tests are done by IIHS to determine just how badly the occupants are going to be injured in a crash, so that they can estimate the cost of insurance. But even that is beside the point; with only three wheels this will be registered and insured as a

Torque and entitlement are a bad combination.

Those same people are going to be festooning their own non-autonomous cars with turquoise leds so they won’t get pulled over for playing with their phones.

This place really has fallen apart since Torchinsky left.

Not as big as big as the wrongful death suits that are going to follow false negatives. There’s really no winning here.

There’s enough literature out there on errors in pulse oximetry that I wouldn’t trust this. Ultimately the question is whether tuning the system to get an acceptably low false positive rate (which pretty much needs to be 100% sober starts in two or fewer attempts) and still maintain a low enough false negative rate to

Hipsters have driven the price of Wagoneers way up in recent years. It may be the Jeep to collect, but right now it’s not the Jeep to buy.

The real problem is that it’s not a 2+2, it’s a 2+0. These cars had back seats put in for insurance purposes, but I’m not convinced that one has ever held a human passenger. Since I’m not quite empty-nester old yet it’s a hard no.

The only people who forgot about the Rendezvous are the ones doing so deliberately to keep the Aztek as a punchline. In reality, the power to weight was solidly average for the time, and without the Pontiac face it wasn’t that bad looking. Buick ended up selling almost twice as many per year as they had projected.

Plus, I just can’t imagine the pain of a lifelong Corvette fan writing a check to a Ford dealership.

Twenty or more years ago, 50% residual value after three years would have been something to be proud of.

I believe the question was if the containment vessel needs re-inspection after each detonation. I don’t know exactly how these are designed, but for any other pressure vessel there’s going to be a pressure below which repeated events aren’t going to cause a fatigue problem.

True, but it seems that in this case there was no reason (other than impatience) to not dispose of the material in multiple detonations.

It wouldn’t sell, because the first question from over 80% of US truck buyers is, “Can I get that in a quad cab?” A chassis that’s too compact to accommodate four doors isn’t going to be competitive in the current market.

This one broke at the concrete ring, not at one of the welds. Which probably means the mix wasn’t to spec during the repaving project. I don’t know if there’s any good way to really fix this for the weekend.

Just to put things into historical perspective:

It’s not so much about masculinity as the fact that any man who would have a Miata painted pink is almost certainly an insufferable hipster who just did it to be “ironic”.

Just pulling up the Wikipedia page would have avoided this...

I doubt you find very many MAGA types pedaling around.”

I’m surprised the Brits aren’t racist recruiting in the Philippines.”
