This moment of time in Jalopnik is like watching a train moving 0.5mph crash into a wall of molasses. Very slow, very sure, and very awkward to witness.

If it’s your first time: when in doubt, underexpose.
Slide film handles under exposure gracefully, while overexposure makes it very ugly very quickly. It behaves a bit like digital.
Negative film is the opposite - you can safely overexpose quite severely, but underexposure is bad.

No they come from the factory with that coating. It’s a rust proofing measure that wraps all the way under the car. Later cars have color matched rocker covers so you don’t see it.

The cure for the helicoid - keep trying. There is one orientation that works and all the others that do not. There are not an infinite number of starts, so try one - if it fails, index to the next one.

He also lives in a state that if you break down in a Saab or a Volvo you just need to walk a maximum of a 1 mile before you will find that someone has retired the same car on their property, so getting used parts shouldn’t be a problem.

It’s being shared on social media, “We should act as if we’re infected and we’re not trying to spread it to others.”

Where does the money come from though? If the business is making zero bucks/French bucks/francs/Euros? then where does the money come from to pay people full salary for two years?

There was that Cadillac keyfob with a suspicious outline of what’s clearly a midship car retracting it’s roof. And GM does love mashing parts from other cars in their toybox to make new ones. Don’t count out the next-gen XLR just yet. 

Money well spent I’d say. And I love the tri-person anecdote. People don’t like those who spend less money than them being faster, but the downtube shifters are the cherry on top in that scenario. My old college roommate I raced on my Universities Cycling team with had an old downtube shifter equipped bike....people…

That’s 6,600lbs of metal shavings. As soon as I find that waste dumpster I’m going to get me a discount on a new C8!

Did you get a chance to take off the oil filter and check for metal shavings? Asking for a friend.

There are a variety of reasons why this is plausible, but the most likely is still dependent upon human factors, and disability laws.

That must have sounded terrible. One outside in the open is probably pretty great, but multiple cars with straight pipe exhaust inside of a metal building? No thanks.

Yeah, now some 8 year-old has a vintage Porsche. 

The places with the worst taxes seem to have the worst roads.

I think it’s the framing. Simple google would show he was ripped off, but this isn’t framed as getting ripped off at all. We all get ripped off at some point, there’s value in sharing those stories (this site taught me how to buy a car, basically), but don’t try to spin it as not getting ripped.

I have said it before and I will say it again:

whatever the latest kinja update was. 

Musk constantly trying to out-think the future.

Given the splash picture of David in that Sprite in a T-shirt and in the rain, I somehow question the authenticity of his surprise to learn it still didn’t have a floor on this later date in the snow....
