Keas are also ridiculously smart and playful. Unfortunately for them, they are the only species of parrot that enjoys meat, and need it so they can also be the only species of parrot to live above the snow line in the Winter. New Zealand farmers response to that was to hunt them until they became an endangered

I’m really surprised there hasn’t been proper EV stations yet with a convenience store attached + maybe a restaurant. If it were attached to a business they would be highly incentivized to keep the equipment working so people come in an buy snacks etc.

Study: Morons who are dumb in one situation are also dumb in other situations.

Fun fact: The Energy Policy Act, which began the Loan Program as described in TITLE XVII—INCENTIVES FOR INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES, was enacted in 2005. George W. Bush was President, the Republican Party controlled both the House and the Senate. Both Tesla and Ford have been previous borrowers. The U.S. does collect

HAHAHAHAHA. What in fuck did he think was going to happen. Musk is nowhere near as popular IRL as he thinks he is online. Admittedly thats because the army of Musk stan bots don't exist IRL but you'd have thought he'd have worked that out by now.

So what you’re asking for is the Canoo van?

Good. For once a rich asshole faces the consequences of their own actions. I am literally ashamed of myself that at one time I had respect for this guy. It makes me truly wonder how his awful behavior was kept out of the public’s eye for so long. Because people don’t become assholes over night. He has probably always

There is probably some plastic wrap over the burned areas to seal them. Notice the sleeve on his left arm is rolled nearly to the elbow - that was how far the bandage reached when I saw him in the oxygen module. The right hand was bandaged to the wrist.

Former Porsche tech here. I can make it simple. Avoid 99-2001. Actively pursue 03-04. C4S are the best of those years. All turbos and GT cars are good. Oh yeah, avoid Targas.

Qualifying was insane. Each session delivered so much excitement. I dared not hope that Mags would hold on to pole until Russel had his bizarre spin.

I’d love to see their data on what the average mileage is for a rental. I think 90% of my work rentals fall into one of 2 categories:

I had the pleasure of visiting the TSA headquarters for a work meeting some years ago. Literally everyone there from the receptionist to the people we were meeting with was a rude, arrogant, asshole. The whole organization is fundamentally rotten and mismanaged and has been since day one.

What continues to blow my mind about the airport bs is this.

Surgery is routine like air travel. Planes still fall out of the sky.

Unless a driver actually gets nasty over the radio (and ‘idiot’ isn’t nasty), then I put no stock into what they say. So many armchair experts have to weigh in, acting like the start of an F1 race isn’t stressful and adrenaline-fueled. And yes, the humorless Brits maybe need to get over themselves a bit; probably not

I don’t think he’s done anything to warrant a ride in something better than a Haas right now. Him and K-Mag both have 3 DNFs and Schumi is 4 places lower in the championship. So actually Williams would probably be a good call.

Correct, and please don’t change it. We have enough spec series.

Everybody gripes about the clickbait articles on Jalop, but the real enthusiast stuff like this doesn't seem to generate many comments, so...anyway, thanks for posting this, keep the stories like it coming.  E9 is on my bucket list, unfortunately, as a tail end boomer, the front and middle end generational cohorts

Have to see what shakes out between Schumacher and Haas, though everything suggesting that Schumacher isn’t staying are pretty weak rumors.
