Taco Bell wins because Taco Bell is everywhere. I'm outside of Cleveland and there are two Taco Bell locations in the smaller city I live in. There are another three at least within 10 minutes of me and dozens in the region. Zooming out on Google Maps shows there are very few places in the entire state where you're…

I had a KLZE swapped Probe for a while, it's the first FWD I ever actually enjoyed driving.

1. Yeah, the cars have a cellular modem. Looks like it's 3G only. They can also use WiFi from your home, a smartphone, MiFi, etc.

If it comes here, I very well may buy or at least lease one. My housemate is on his second Optima, having had a 2012 SX Turbo and upgraded to a 2015 SX Turbo when the dealer had a good deal. It's a great car, especially for the price. I almost leased one myself but ended up with a Soul because I really wanted a…

Is it bad that I knew exactly where this photo was taken the moment the bridge scrolled in to view? I've had the "pleasure" of learning I-80 between I-75 and I-71 like the back of my hand over the last decade or so between school and work.

The detail that the "artistic" argument about framerate misses is that games aren't film. Film and video, at least as used for "cinematic" content, have inherent motion blur which hides the negative aspects of a reduced framerate. Video games don't. Unless the game developers go out of their way to add blur (which…

Rockstar needs to add more music when they release updates.

I'm OK with this logic. When you choose to have a kid you acknowledge that you'll be limiting your ability to go to places where quiet is desired or expected for a few years until the kid gets past the phase where everything wrong = screaming and crying.

Wat? The video shows him going from 190 down to 65. I know they were entering a turn and have no idea what normal turn speed is on this track, but dropping 125 MPH is not exactly what I'd call "barely lifting".

That song's on the GTA V soundtrack. Any time it comes on the in-game radio I end up out in the country jumping off mountains. Got to love GTA physics too, as long as you land on your wheels it's all good, no matter how high you fell from.

Ok, that's still 20 minutes to get the same range in a sedan as you'd get from two minutes with a 5 gallon jug of gas in a 30 foot RV, and it requires a high power charger that's incredibly rare.

In the context of driving the car on the track as Top Gear was, you're probably going to run through a lot of fuel. Any gasoline car you can easily bring some cans or in some cases pay $rape/gallon at the track and be ready to head back out in minutes. When your Tesla Roadster runs out you're done for a while.

The difference is that when a ICE car runs out of fuel, Clarkson (and team) just laughs it off (Ford GT40 with its 75 mile track range, James May's Rolls running out of fuel in London, etc), whereas when an electric vehicle runs out of juice, its grounds for death by character assassination (Tesla Roadster, Nissan…

But how do you explain the fact that he let you borrow the car and then you were driving it 1,000 miles away in a foreign country?

For me the top three always have to fill the following needs: Daily Driver, Highway Mile Eater, and Weekend Toy. Anything else on top of that is just gravy.

Apart from being more powerful, the McLaren 675 LT is also supposed to be 220 pounds lighter than the McLaren 650S, but it's not a replacement like the 650S was for the 12C because this track-focused car will be limited to 250 units after it debuts at the Geneva Motor Show.

I want to see someone install a fart cannon on a Tesla. Preferably with one of those fake engine noise dealies hooked up.

The Model S includes an adapter for the J1772 connector, it literally just slips on to the plug. There's no incompatibility, it works the same, just the Teslas also have the option of a non-terrible charging solution. J1772 as currently specified can do up to 20 kilowatts of AC charging. DC has not yet been…

While it's more expensive than some larger RVs, it's about as nice as you're going to get without ordering something more custom and thus even pricier than the $152,000 you're spending on this. There are no slide-outs and you have to pack smartly, but the Interstate is as comfortable a way as you can cross the country…

That's bandwidth, not latency. Those are two different things.
