The weight comes from the battery pack; the Creo has a 320 kWh battery compared to the Serial 1, which is 529 kWh. They’re also vastly different bikes - the Creo is a gravel bike; the Serial 1 is more of a commuter/touring MTB. A better comparison would be the Serial 1 and the Specialized Vado 4.0, both of which are…

Mass doesn’t help you corner at higher speeds. It helps in snow and low traction conditions but at high speeds and dry pavement mass is not your friend. Changing directions is an acceleration. The more mass, the more force it takes to accelerate.

Seriously, how many of us are reading this at work and can’t take 5-10 minutes to watch a video? I almost exclusively read this site while I am at work.

Low speed control and torque with no fear of stalling.

The sod I guess could technically be something that scraped up and in the car... but the black pants are an obvious pointer to staged. There’s no way his outfit could be mistaken for the one in the crash.

I also love the dude grabbing the running camera that wasn’t pointed at anything in the garage and the blood…

I have a 535d. I have to travel for work fairly often (before the quarantine). That I6 diesel delivers 255 hp, 420 ft/lb and on the long highway drives, 38+ mpg. It means, on long drives, I can go 600 miles without having to stop. It means I can overtake at highway speeds very easily, as that torque just applies a…

They need to stop pricing their wheels at almost two grand per axle. And also start selling to heavy machinery industries. Imagine a forklift with some BBS CH-Rs. Negotiating some deals with manufacturers to sell their wheels on higher trim levels like they did in the ‘80s and ‘90s would also be helpful.

Of course they are killing the Fit. It’s a car that fills the needs of 94.3% of America so no one is buying it. As for getting rid of the Accord manual... Eff everyone who talks the talk but doesn’t buy manual transmissions.

now you’ve done it. Torch is going to have to do an article about crab gear knobs now.

In which trains.... what exactly?

I am, in fact, an IT consultant/engineer. I simply don’t give a shit. I pay LOTS of money for very good insurance. If my shit gets stolen, I get new shit. I didn’t even have KEYS for my house in Maine for the first decade I owned it, we literally never locked the place. When your house has glass windows, locks only…

I have zero desire for any car where I have to fuck around with putting physical keys in locks. I have my Luddite tendencies when it comes to cars, but keys are very much not one of them. I have touch code locks on my HOUSES too. Physical keys are relics of bygone days.

your story seems to completely validate the premise of the article that the police are bad at deciding who and when to stop?

It’s certainly not a cure-all, but generally speaking the larger the LEO organization, the better training/requirements for officers. OF COURSE there are still huge departments with gigantic problems.

It seems like we are nearing the point where we could do most if not all traffic enforcement with cameras or other similar monitoring. Obviously in order for that to be reasonable, we need to make sure speed limits are actually appropriate, and need to understand that if you can fine every offender, there’s no need…

“State Patrol troopers strategically deflated tires ... in order to stop behaviors such as vehicles driving dangerously and at high speeds in and around protesters and law enforcement,” he said.

I think his films have always had a somewhat right wing outlook - Blue Velvet, Wild at Heart, Twin Peaks and to a certain extent Mulholland Drive are all to some extent about how once you decide to take a step outside the narrow world of socially accepted mores and customs, whether out of teenage curiosity, a desire…

I’ll just say it as a M235 6 speed owner, and an S2000 owner.

Ja, naturlich.

What I think people are missing is, look how well autopilot was performing prior to plowing into the truck. This is a win - Elon.
