95% of the views are probably journalists and muckrakers watching and rewatching his drivel to chase clicks.

I will have to eat my hat on the pricing, as I thought it would be closer to $40k.

Lawl teens and 20 somethings. Someone call Toyota and find out how that went for their Scion sub-brand. That was with sub $20k cars and 2.5% interest rates.

After watching the E539 Restorations Project Chicago build of a B7 Alpina, these things will financially ruin anyone who isn’t maintaining it for YouTube ad revenue. (Also see Hoovie's and LegitStreetCars.)

1. If I’m driving anything larger than an SUV or pulling a trailer, you need to pull up a satellite image of wherever you want to eat before we get to the exit so I can verify we can get in, park, and get out with a minimal amount of annoyance.

“Volvo has its chiropractor-approved buckets (for whatever the approval of Ghost Doctors is worth)“

Because the federal government mandates battery packs be warrantied for 8 years/100k miles and California mandates they be warrantied for 10 years/150k miles.

Thanks for the update. In that case I can root for them that they’ll get through these early growing pains and be a contender eventually.

Do you still have to lease the battery in perpetuity? Because that’s kind of an automatic disqualifier even if all this other stuff wasn’t already.

Yea but searchable archived datasets are a thing. In some ERP systems you archive the active company by appending a separate dataset with the current status of various orders and the inventory.

I mean this is the DMV’s IT infrastructure we’re talking about here. I wouldn’t be surprised if the issue was that the database has a 2 GB limit like systems from the 90's either.

Jesus, what kind of database admin simply purges records rather than exporting records before a specific date and then either appends the records to an existing cold storage archive or creates a new database for the date range? I understand why the purge ultimately has to happen (large datasets are large and slow to…

Woah woah woah. Cops are, by definition, civilians and civil servants. You cannot allow them, or lawmakers, to use martial language to describe law enforcement positions because it reinforces the “us vs them” mentality that is taught for surviving wartime situations. It’s partly what led us to the current militarized…

Considering how well Florida DEP is managing the waste products from the sugar mills on the south side of Okeechobee I don’t see why they couldn’t manage to ensure this is done safely so it won’t leech into water supplies and soil causing untold environmental damage.

This reeks of landlords saying they want tenants to feel a sense of ownership in the unit they’re renting. But what they really mean is that the tenant is responsible for maintenance of the property under the rental agreement.

HKS promoting themselves is by far my favorite.

His defense will be that they were obviously BLM protestors and that their presence near the stoplight could have threatened him. So with that in mind, he needed to be proactive in his right to stand his ground against them.

If he was serious with the turbos at the end, a dragster is a good bet or it might go into it’s original intended home, an offshore powerboat. Whatever the choice is I’m here for the insanity.

Some days I wonder how much less stupid our current timeline would be if Gordon Murray and his engineering team at McLaren weren’t so safety conscious. Or would the universe fill the void with someone even more cringe?

Tyson talks about how it never ran quite right due to ignition and fueling problems in Rob’s video.
