One time, I told a great story about something that happened while I was learning to drive—and then LATER THAT SAME DAY it got screenshotted and the screenshot was pasted into an unreadable slideshow to drive advertising revenue to the owners of a company that I don’t even work for. Boy, was my face ever red. I’ll…

EPA estimates for EVs are under in most cases. Part of this may be due to them not taking driving habits of EV users into account. Part of it may be that the testing is not done in an environment like the car will actually be in (since most EVs are in California). It’s not a hit job, it is adapting standards to new…

As a solar installer myself, I will say that if you like the people who did your array and want them to keep their jobs and stay in business, you will take down the second photo in the article and then delete this comment here. The dude in yellow is not even wearing a harness, let alone clipped into an anchor. He’s…

Lego cars

Its my experience that cars with an open floor plan, so to speak, kind suck because you can’t use the space. What’s the point of putting feet down there if there is no center seat (that’s a whole other thing) and anything you put down there for storage is just asking to slide all over the place and cause issues. To…

When the radio cuts out for a minute and you actually hear the mechanical cacophony your 23 year old shitbox daily driver makes, realizing each of those noises has an associated dollar amount to it.

Gotcha, that’s the same thing I’ve been hearing from some friends also in the industry. It’s a little counterintuitive on first gasp, but it makes sense to me, especially given the long history of leather goods – if something else natural worked better, we’d probably have used it, and synthetic always has challenges…

I’m tangentially involved in the fashion industry and I can tell you a number of large companies have done research into sustainability and scoring of raw materials and find leather to be more sustainable than a lot of high performing synthetic material.

I feel this way but with being short. I get in anything larger than a hatchback and feel like I'm two kids in a trench coat pretending to be an adult. You should lend me a few inches of your height and we can both fit in cars easily.

To me, a child of the 80s, only one wheel says Porsche. Gold BBS style. Every Porsche had gold BBSs back in the 80s and they looked great on all of them. I think they would look good on the new Porsches too. If I remember, the 962s had this style wheel too. Checked it out, it’s true.

One time, back when I was a cop, I stopped this crime ring that was boosting DVD players and car stereos. Long story short, I wound up JOINING the group family and traveling the world committing/stopping crimes. Then I had a kid and they stopped inviting me to the jobs. Kids ruin everything.

Sorry, $6800, even with all the recent work is crack-pipe for this car. It’s in that uncanny valley of being too old, but not that interesting while being too expensive, even if it is really well kept and the maintenance is up to date. You would be far better off to spend a bit more and get something 20 years newer…

That’s awesome. Wish I could give more stars just for the LuAZ shelf.

Honestly for me it isn't the bumpers that ruined the looks, it was that most of them also raised the ride height to confirm with either headlight out bumper regulations.

One thing I never could stomach about clown sex...all the damn honking.

This communicates the health of the intake manifold

I have an e46 and when people get in the car for the first time, they always comment on the “Business CD”... like it only plays the S&P 500 stock market report on loop.

When genesis first debuted you got a tablet in place of the owners manual. It also worked a in a virtual aspect as you could point it at what ever feature on the car you wanted to learn about and that info would appear

The automatic braking system should still have intervened.  I suppose the speed differential was too great and the system assumed a human would have noticed the object so disregarded it as an error.
