I want a hybrid truck. I’d give up 100-150 mile range to have a flat 4 under the bed or give up a frunk and put it under the hood to have the ICE engine act as a range extender. I’d never consider buying a fully electric pickup truck. 

Battery electric cars are joyless facsimiles of what a driving experience should be. They are the antithesis of “Jalop”. Each and every one terrible in its own unique way.

It felt as if I was driving a very fast Maytag washing machine. There’s no commotion, no sensation that lets you know that the vehicle you’re driving is special in any way. 

Hopefully I will never own an electric car.

The real question is why isn’t this in the Gladiator.

Apple is never aiming at the mid/low market, that would go against their brand image, maybe its an attack against the mid priced Chromebook though. They’re looking for a cost effective replacement to an expensive Intel chip for the basic things that most people do on a Mac whilst marrying the ARM based backbone between…

Right now anyone who shoots is wondering who in the hell has the ammo to spare to go full rock and roll.

Need (real) benchmarks to assume this will compete with an X86 chip. I don’t believe it will.

Performance in what, exactly?

The even funnier thing is that these use a narrowed version of the ‘78-88 G-body front suspension and brakes. Well the 2wd versions at least, up to ‘98 I believe.

Ehh. both of my folks each had one of these, well one 2 door 4x4 99 Blazer, and one 4 door 4x4 GMC Jimmy. They both put 300k Miles on them before they sold them. The both needed a 4L60E rebuild around 160k miles, but otherwise utterly unflappable from a reliablity standpoint.

Depends on the tool, depends on the application.

Do you recall previous Socket A/370 Heatsinks without a locking lever, when the way to install them was to use a flat screw driver to bend edge of the clip outward and push the clip down over the latch on the Socket? Really fun when that screw driver blade slips off and digs into the PCB.

File this article and it’s commentary to “Thanks I Hate It”

Everything about Stroker Ace is terrible, except for the theme song.

3rd Gear: Your average person doesn’t want an EV. For the record as of mid 2019 a AAA survey said that only 12% of Americans would consider an EV for their next car purchase. Real strong business case there GM.

Reminder: the C7.R used a de-stroked 6.2l as well. We never saw the 5.5l in production.

I’m not sure it’s 5.5l or flat plane.

to get the same HP per lb they’d have to make 412.5 HP and 407 ft/lbs from an 90's era emissions legal Magnum V8
