The best datsun is the Datsun you have with you. The Datsun you’ve revived and brought back onto the road, or the Datsun you’ve kept on the road. The best Datsun is the one that gets gas station gawkers to lament that they were “bought by Nissan” because everyonere members Datsun was the king of cool. The best Datsun,…

Electrons, being a fundamental particle, and not a composite particle like a baryon, can be thought of as a point mass rather than as an actual sphere. The electron’s charge is what gets measured, but the actual particle itself which emits that charge aren’t really a thing with height, width and depth like one would…

It’s fashionable now, to hate on Rick and Morty fans. But lets move past those fans. Lets look at the bigger issue here. McDonalds’ plan, at least as far as I can understand it, was to cause a Black Friday effect. People would show up for the sauce. But there’s only a few sauces available. So a ton of people get…

Equifax in the next couple of weeks:

Before they start talking about banning combustion engines, they need to start talking about what they’re going to do to make owning an electric car feasible for someone in an apartment. Right now, charging an electric car over 120v via an extension cord takes days. Apartments don’t have a 240 volt socket.…

They’re used here in Oregon all the time, and usually used correctly. They’re in the recommended equipment ODOT says you should have in your car. I never had to take a drive test here, but I think if you’re lacking flares, along with a triangle reflector, when they inspect the car pre-drivers test, you fail. Never…

Who actually thinks this will stop Uber? They’ll just continue to operate without a license. That’s been their MO since the beginning; They just do what they want and ignore anything the municipality says. The people running Uber have learned that if you’ve got enough money, city hall can’t do anything to you.

It’s known that rich, famous people do a lot of things. But there’s no goal to “shame” anyone for anything. The fact is that Hearst’s yellow journalism is alive and well, and the media consuming people love the airing of dirty laundry. It was reported on because celebrity gossip, no matter how inane, generates clicks…

There is one big, huge, massive thing I see the rah rah electric crowd forgetting every time one of these articles runs.

I only hope that once self driving cars become a reality, the government doesn’t do something as stupid as ban manually driving a car, or insurance companies don’t raise rates for people who want to drive their own car to astronomical rates to discourage it. I’d hate for my hobby to be made illegal or unattainable by…

Lifted Dodge Ram Diesel. The shape of the truck reminds me of that one high school bully who had no neck. Plus they’re almost always lifted using the worst off the shelf lift kits, with the pumpkins just hanging down begging to be bashed by a rock, a desire that will never come true, as these things will literally…

The hood vents are from a 1979-1981 NA 280ZX. Have to wonder the thought process behind sourcing those (They’re hard to get) and splicing them into an AMG hood.

Yeah. Maybe he needs to learn that if you act like a piece of shit, you’ll be called a piece of shit.

I had a 1989 supercoupe, first year of the facelift. Had it about six months. in its day, it had been a technological tour-de-force, with electronically controlled dampers which could be put into comfort, normal and sport modes, adjustable ride height, and all electronic engine control. And it was a manual. Sadly,…

The closed headlights don’t sit flush for a very good reason. The S30, and S130 had the sugar scoop headlights. They’re central to the car’s design, and make an early Z instantly identifiable. So, notice how the Z31's headlights are flip up headlights, but still retain the ‘sugar scoop’ design aesthetic, though…

This looks mineable for plenty of horrifying gifs and reaction images.

With the rise of hybrid drivetrains in endurance racing, LeMans returns to its original roots, though. Before it was the spectacle of prototypes that it is now, LeMans was envisioned as a race that could help automakers perfect technology for the road and make it more reliable and robust. I can’t remember, exactly,…

I think this is probably exactly right. This doesn’t just look like erratic driving. This looks like willfully erratic driving. The kind intended to cause other drivers to, while trying to adapt to the fact that he’s all over the road and the speedometer, accidentally hit him. I have to actually wonder, if his…

I think it should be noted that Mylan didn’t spend a single cent on R&D for the epi-pen, that the entire R&D budget was made up of taxpayer dollars from the US military. This came up in the story of how a French company is being given exclusive manufacturing rights to the Zika vaccine. US Military researchers, using…
