wife just traded in a 2008 scion xb with 192k miles. Other than normal wear items like tires, oil changes, brakes, one battery replacement, NO ISSUES. Not bad for a $17,000 car over 9 years. I’ve seen many scion XB taxis on craigslist with 250-300k miles, still running fine. This doesn’t impress me much for a $60k…

anyone been in a chevy lately? Had my car in the body shop, rental gave me a 2016 chevy impala. If someone blindfolded me, and sat me in the driver seat, the first thing I’d say when I opened my eyes “Why am I in an impala from the 90's?”. The interior looks so dated, and it gets maybe 20mpg if you’re lucky while at…

Elon Musk is like President Kennedy.. He’s got sack. He didn’t know how to build an electric car, or a re-usable rocket, or a giant battery factory, but he threw his hat over the wall

“Hey, the engine flooded. Get out an push so I can pop the clutch”

Pheh.. both me and my wife have been uber toyota fans for the past 2 decades. Our next cars will be honda, they just don’t care about innovation anymore, only crazy oddball ideas

Chicago is the pit of america. If you aren’t killed by gunshots, they’ll find other ways (like running you over on a bicycle). I don’t know if the population of chicagoland is low because people are moving away, or if everyone is just dying? Perhaps both.

I have no idea what this article said, my mind is full of castrol oil ads posted in between every other article.

currently the autonomous system is not meant to be completely hands off.. there’s even a loud beeping noise if you let go of the steering wheel right now. The guy was watching harry potter on a tablet for crying out loud, while driving at high speed. You can’t completely fix negligence. I just had my car smashed into…

Except this will be toyota after other car companies have innovated past them. Toyota has become the appliance of cars.. reliable.. and that’s about it. They’ve been playing it safe for 20 years, they hardly ever push boundries anymore (and this is coming from a rabid toyota fan). I may be switching brands for my next…

needs a little touch-up

You know what, when I’m thinking VR and escapism I’m not thinking a tropical beach like FarCry.. Nope, I’m thinking frozen tundra!

My goto place is my seat of solidworks and I draw up what I need.. Of course when I’m feeling lazy, I’ll see if someone has already modeled something up on thingiverse.

Everytime I see footage from uncharted4, my 12 year old self says “OMG that’s the best looking video game ever! I must buy!”. My adult self says “pfft, you’ll never find time to play it, and even if you did you’d probably get bored with it after a couple hours of noodling around the levels with your weak brain”.…

ya know, I was ready to comment on how unfeasible this is.. how incredibly loud it probably is on video.. The fact that he’s separating thrust and motion is smart, and although somewhat loud (like you might expect from a small jet engine), there doesn’t seem to be an annoying whine noise. I imagine if this ever goes…

Oh look, it’s a preview for NBC Chicago Fire!

it’ll come down to user interface. While the unreal engine 4 is impressive, I find it to be bloated (huge map files), and the interface to edit maps isn’t so great.

why does it feel like the taliban is a mix between spy vs spy and wile e coyote?

Sooo I’m guessing insane mode will be going away then? Remember when owners of the Nissan GTR were killing transmissions and clutches by using manual launch? So they basically said use it at your own risk, failure not covered by warranty.

Am I alone in saying that “shoot-em-ups” are just getting old? Is this the only challenge we can give players anymore? Also games should feel like fun, not work. It’s no wonder why I end up ignoring jobs in GTA and just driving around causing mayhem.
