this is, like, four photos. do they not have more cars there?

Kinja is so broken and buggy that I got to the point where I just never log out. Not worth the risk of getting locked out because of its wonkiness. It’s some kind of computer science mystery miracle this whole platform is still functioning.

I don’t know if anyone else experiences this, but kinja login has been broken for over a year for me, and the only option that works - sort of - is the Twitter login. Granted, I get logged out as soon as I leave the page I was in, but I can actually click the empty avatar in the page that just loaded and my account…

Would have loved to be the Program Manager for 911 making the pitch for this.

I counter BMW M54 engine and Ford 300 straight six.

I’m sure there is more to it, but the essential part of a portal axle is something like this that just moves the axle from connecting directly to the wheel, to instead connect to one of these, and that has internal gears that turns an axle on a lower plane. So theoretically, sure, it could be done on an EV, since EVs…

If you apply a suspension lift + large tires, you get ground clearance, for a fraction of the price of this modification ($1300-2500 in the US).

My favorite part in all of this is that you did no more than 30 seconds of Google research, decided you needed to post a bunch of negativity not based in reality, then accused ME of being the toxicity that this site doesn’t need.

A “lift kit” generally lifts the vehicle by raising the vehicle in comparison to its axles.

And considering all of that, you never paused to think, “Man, there must really be a big upside to these things.”

If you think portal axles are equivalent to a lift kit, maybe you don’t know what portal axles are?

You’re likely thinking of the Unimog. 

that comment was unnecessary 

I hope they include an insert with a reminder to re-aim the headlights. 

They are super rare. Almost no vehicles come from the factory with them, save for a couple: the Hummer H1 and Mercedes-AMG G63 4x4 Squared (and I guess the 6x6, but that thing is insane).

Sláva Ukrayíni!

She also has the coat check named for her at the venue where she used to check coats, after she sold out 5 straight nights there.

Being stuck on a gigantic incubator with people who actively lie about being sick because they paid for a cruise and by God they’re going no matter what? Shit, I’m all about it. Maybe while I’m on the ship it can lose power for a few days or have propulsion and sewage problems. Hell, let’s go whole hog and throw some…

That’s sad. I can’t help but picture all the little Norwalk viruses that will never get a chance to make someone poop uncontrollably.

Counterpoint: daring design = good
