Sounds like someone high up in the Australian constabulary is a shitty parker.

If it truly is evaporative emissions, I’d be surprised. There’s little or nothing to gain performance wise by trying to skirt those rules. If I were to make a guess, they’re having a problem with a hose or other component that is not keeping the evaporative emissions contained, but if that’s really the case I would…

The bitch is tanking itself man, come on. 

Unlikely at an event like Goodwood. That said if this was raced in period you can guarantee it’s not a 100% original car.

And of course, the obligatory response from people trying way too hard to show they aren’t one of the common masses

Remember the Ideal Gas Law from Deflategate? It’s kind of that.

Gotta be careful though. We know what a 1-2 psi right to left difference can do. Use that digital tire gauge!

Elon says a lot of shit. Why take this seriously?

The locals will be walking the pits demanding to speak to the pit boss

Just surface grind the entire body after mounting all panels. Seems easy enough. /s

Which, for a flat panel, that’s pretty damn good.  The thing is though, pretty damn good still looks pretty ass.

Hey, you keep the name Aptera out of your mouth...

I worked for a couple Tier 2 automotive suppliers making textile and rubber parts. The +/- tolerances were expressed in percent of the dimension, generally 0.5-1.5%. The longest dimension on the textile parts were anywhere from 1m-2m long. If our customer asked for the length to be +/- 1mm, we would question their…

Judging from the pics so far - they probably should start with +/- 9mm tolerance.  

The only way to stop a bad guy with a throwing spear is a good guy with a throwing spear. 

The weed smell will never come out of this car. ND. 

I thought this was common knowledge. But I guess if you never have rain, I suppose you don’t know this 🤷‍♂️

Don’t mean to be overly negative here - but this is an incredibly stupid take. The Corolla is built on the same TNGA platform as the RAV-4. A unibody truck built on that same platform would indeed be “based” on the Corolla - or the RAV-4. Just like the Maverick (which Jalopnik has praised as a really smart vehicle,…

Not a bad price for a miata in 2023

I hear car drivers are just peaches when they have to wait for five seconds behind a cyclist despite having just waited for 20 minutes in line at Starbucks.
