6PPD breaks down to form 6PPD-Quinone, which is specifically dangerous to a specific species of fish. No 6PPD, no 6PPD-Quinone.

Hear hear!

EVs are unlikely to add more brake dust since regen braking will take over the lion’s share of deceleration.

As an accountant and solely looking at the graphic above the reasoning given in the article for the gain don’t quite make sense to me. I would expect to see bigger gains in the gross profit per vehicle if they were the sole reason. It looks instead a massive jump in the net profit per vehicle, which to me implies the…

The lack of investment in no/no-go gages for panel fitment is paying off!

Why was there no redundancy? If deleting a file can cause all this trouble, it’s not the contractor who's at fault.

Blocking roads, deflating tires, and spilling paint on Porsches isn’t funny. But this, this is funny. Fuck BMW and Toyota, this is exactly what they deserve.

They just want the H2 AE86 to be in mass production

Sure financial literacy education would be good, but we also need to shut down these sorts of predatory businesses and put the people behind them in prison. It doesn’t matter how much education you make available, allowing these companies to exist will ensure that desperate people will fall prey to their scams.

you understand that to do that would require them to acquire new licensing for a one off image which would likely need to go through a buying department and take multiple days...instead of just using the image library they already have a license for and getting the article out in a timely manner. Journalism requires…

These are brilliant! Impressive to call out Toyota and BMW... Should have done VW as well (though they are making some compelling EVs so that’s likely why they were spared).

I’m as guilty as anyone, still sitting on my FD long after the rx8 ended, but there’s NO WAY the vocal minority here is going to buy enough $50k sports cars to justify production. My rx7 window sticker is mid $30ks in 1993 money, so unless they’re going to half ass something, which will immediately be panned like the…

If Mazda really wants to sell rotary engines, they should just sell them as crate engines. Make the bell housings bolt spacing fit the older transmissions and the accessory drives as well. Don’t worry about making them carb legal (California can eat a dick) just make them available.

Im a tit for tat guy.  China doesnt let us actually own property in China, so fuck them.  Chinese companies cant operate in the US unless they have a us partner and let the partner own the majority of the property and have access to their trade secrets.  

Screwing over your constituents to own the libs.

2nd Gear: ““You cannot be a manufacturer and a dealer,” McMahon said. “That’s in the law so we think it’s pretty clear.””

Like can you imagine if Steve Jobs was all “Iphones will be able to detect if you have cancer next year, you just have to buy the requisite hardware for $1500,” and he kept saying that for a goddamn decade and it never came to pass? And then after it became apparent it was never going to happen until robust AI was…

Too many people expect perfectly clear roads at all time and we don’t expect drivers to have proper skill and their vehicle properly outfitted based on the weather.

“He pointed out that he paid way over MSRP without disclosing exactly how much, as he’s “an enthusiast” and originally planned to keep the vehicle before learning that another allocation that he preferred went through.”

Great point about mileage on the rotary in this application. Alleviates a lot those longevity concerns.
