2nd Gear: If Foxconn is involved it will be behind schedule, over budget, and will under performing on all specs. When I worked there, they were excellent at making a test article pass all reviews and then delayed as they ramped up to full production and forced customers to accept a rushed final product with massive…

Thank you for the clarification! I knew it SHOULDN’T be a step backwards in tech but just wanted to be sure. The brakes on a 240 are poor enough to begin with (non-ABS, and a tendency to lock the front passenger wheel first) that I wanted to make sure it wasn’t even more unsafe than I already knew.

Thank you!

I’m going to be stupid here because you’re honestly freaking me out. What about more modern cars with a single brake fluid reservoir? Would this have the same one-and-done issue as the Mustang?

Being the sole driver in the house. My wife can drive but she’s always 5-10mph below the average speed of traffic which means we get a lot of aggressive drivers and it sets my social anxiety through the roof. This leads to me driving 16-18 hours straight during our 24 hour drives to visit her relatives and makes me…

This seems rather fishy. Especially based on the idea that the provided prototypes are ICE yet there is the push for an all EV fleet.

I grew up on Charles Ave. and my old man is now an associate professor at Susquehanna. I honestly miss the roar of Selinsgrove Speedway on Saturday nights. I’m in York now, so it’s mostly sirens at night...

The alleyway behind my parents house in Selinsgrove PA (what a backwards ass town that is....) should probably be spelled Red Currant Alley, since other streets in town are named after fruits. But, in a damming critique of our local school system and hatred of intelligence, it was labeled “Red Current Alley”.

Free in PA. 

As dumb as it sounds, look up a Motorcycle Safety Course. They give you a bike and a helmet, you spend 3 nights in class learning about riding including how to use the manual transmission in the bike then two 4-hour riding sessions where you literally start with “here’s how to straddle the bike” and they have you walk…

It’s the same way on US Military Uniforms. The flag is displayed as if the soldier is moving forward. Never retreating. 

This is my daily life with my car that you guys featured here. The 240SX Rip-off from Hell.

I watched the replay of the SpaceX feed with the cameras super close on the launch pad. Watching that thing rotate from belly down to standing straight up for the landing looked like something out of a Hollywood blockbuster. I actually had to rewind and watch it a few times to make sure it was real and not some…

So he hit and killed someone and IF he is found guilty, AND he serves each penalty in series, he’s locked up for a maximum of 90 days and has to pay a fine of $1500?

No they won’t. MSRP- MANUFACTURER RECCOMENDED SALES PRICE

As a former Foxconn Employee who worked with the automotive guys for OTHER failed EVs, yeah, Foxconn should not be taken as a positive sign. They are perennially late, over budget, and under performing. They have also taken to some very shady methods to get product certified and out the door despite a large portion…

This would be great if it’s possible and can come to fruition. I’d pay more for weekend fuel for my motorcycle and classic car, and drive an electric for commuting. Hell that’s kinda what I did before the pandemic, a hybrid for work and a fun car/bike for weekends. 

You’re raising the hood not to fit a bigger grill but to make the car safer when the cops decide to run over protestors. Since we can’t know what vehicle the thin blue line is going to use, we need to make all cars safe to drive over people with. 

CBS All Access has the series Air Warriors and the A-10 episode interviews her and discusses the whole event. She is also the only A-10 pilot to ever make a landing on manual (no hydraulics) mode and survive. That plane was built to just take a massive amount of punishment and dish it right back out.

We got my daughter the blue “Hybrid” model to match my wife’s first year blue C-Max. The cozy coupe has a nice little folding handle that makes it easy to push around the neighborhood. And the best part is it isn’t anthropomorphized.
