The upgrade from the 2.0 to the 2.5 was welcomed, but I don’t know if the handling is really good enough for more power than that to be any fun.

WRX has been short roof only for a while now.

1974 US-Spec 911. There are a lot of long vehicles that aren’t really any longer than they need to be for their intended purpose. Then there are the ones that were perfectly the right length everywhere else in the world, but had to have a few extra hideous inches added to be sold in the US.

At first I was excited that this wasn’t a slide show. Then the awful reality of seeing all of these turds on the same page hit me.

“The President believes that it’s an American way of life, and that it should be the goal of policy makers to protect the American way of life.”

More likely the distinction between approach and landing is drawn based on whether or not the plane made it to the runway.

I used to have a Saab 92x. Even with all of the tiny changes that supposedly made it better than the Impreza, it really wasn’t. Certainly not enough to make it worth the price premium GM tried to squeeze out of it. But somehow the rarity (and the fact that it showed us what a true 900 successor could have been) made…

Most pro sports teams in the US do not own their own jets. They use charter flights.

The real cost of a driver, or anyone in his immediate contact, flying commercial is the risk of getting sick. A covid positive is at least one missed race. Even a regular cold or flu could be the difference between points or no points this weekend. Particularly when all of the good cold meds are on the WADA list.

That’s probably how the Haas guys are getting around right now.

I bet that would torque-steer itself straight into a ditch well before the tires were shredded.

I’ve been to some small oval tracks where the front stretch doubles as a drag strip, and the racing is just a mess.

And I bet he thinks I’m the asshole for posting that without a picture and making him do some work.

Demand matters too though. If both of those bars have lines out the door every Friday night, then the $5 place is screwing themselves. That’s how it is with the car market right now. Turnover is so fast that any dealer that’s negotiating is just throwing money away.

The catch is “sufficiently motivated”. I can’t imagine the economy recovering to the point where this remotely a priority any time soon.

I honestly think that “vandalism” is a better term than “theft” here.

Any wheel where the number of spokes is not evenly divisible by the number of visible lugs.

It’s not the cost of the electricity that’s the issue here. It’s the upfront cost of the service, which would be even more for solar.

Only the smallest dealerships would be remotely manageable at Level 2 if all of their cars were electric.

L2 would not be sufficient for normal operations at a dealership. An average day might be a dozen deliveries, plus that many rolling off of haulers, plus three dozen test drives, plus whatever the service department needs. If that’s all, or even mostly, electric the logistics are not manageable with charge times…
