There has to be a way to turn that shit off man. I really don't like the idea of collecting such information for profit. At least pay me, too?

But once you got that turbo, its sooo easy to turn up the wick and hit 200.

Jesus paved these roads, didn't you know? and they're maintained by holy intervention.

This design of this here fastener has been perfected over a century of development. Its able to constrain my relative position to the car no matter how hard I try to undermine its legacy. It can even transform as I input a special code with these here levers and such, but its secrets have yet to be revealed. Its also…

Doesn't matter, we'll keep bailing them out.

Tesla isn’t the only one. My previous work for an unnamed OEM had me run a benchmarking workshop to compare our products quality against competitors. Every engineer was like “wow, that’s nice!" but they all understood our products don't have it cause our company is cheap. It isn't a mystery how they did it, its a…

Were jealous of Tesla cause we have to go to work in run-down offices only miles away from the worst neighborhoods in America. It’s cold and cloudy most of the year and the geographical area is depressing. But these tesla engineers get to live in sunny California! Surfing in the evenings and drinking patio beers in…

Sad state of affairs when a someone financially prudent who earns 50k a year (above national average) can afford to live next to a crack house. shits going downhill fast man. soon you’ll need to earn 150k/year to provide your family with the same quality of life your parents did on 40k/year.

Does more than a few hundred of that mortgage payment go to principle? If yes, then you're back at square one, except with Equity this time.

I asked my banks when applying for a mortgage whether I would get better rates if I met a certain down-payment % on the home. They told me it didn’t matter how much I put down, the rate would always be the same and is based off other factors.

Maybe this is a Canadian thing, but does anyone else have any input on that?

What about the return on investment if you rent? By my calculations the ROI on renting vastly outperforms most typical investments (unless you hit up something like Google, Apple, or Tesla at the right time).

I realize that it isn't such a "set-it and forget-it" approach though and it Does require something of you.…

You know, a lot of times people will say "oh but as a renter you don't have to worry about repairs". Which, although technically isn't a lie, is only a half-truth. Every place I've rented needed something fixed always. The landlords were slow about it, cut corners, cheaped out. Having to deal with them as middle-men…

I’m not sure if you’re a troll or not. But since this is like, your job I’m going to presume not? The Rotary engine doesn’t suck - Mazdas rotary engine sucks. In theory they’re great, they eliminate all the energy lost when a piston has to change direction violently. Materials have had over 20 years to advance since…

This considers only rent v buy. I’d be curious to see what your take is on making the jump from renter to rentee with the house you buy (ie dubplex/fourplex/rented basement). You mention "its not throwing away your money, you get a place to live" - but, since you get a place to live in both places that point is moot.…

MOAR!

Can we make this like, an ongoing thing or something? These are uber-valuable to the backyard mech's on jalopnik and I think the more we can uncover the better for our collective good.

Wooooooo, Eh!

So odds are the random rural guy wouldn't be able to afford it then! not really any better =/

I actually liked those for a while. Bought some cool stuff for pretty cheap. but now theres nothing left that I desire lol.

Is there no rear disc that doesn't have an internal drum AND doesn't have a screw-out piston? I'm like 98% sure that there are - and if they can do it, everyone can! But, if there aren't, well, I can think of ways to achieve it.

V=IxR. volts don't kill you, amps do. But volts are what drive amps.. soo yeah..
