TL;DR: People will steal anything that isn't bolted down and most things that are.

That was really desperate. WeatherTech must have threatened to pull their ads or something.

I wish this was a Jolie Kerr article. Then we would learn how to launder our money.

Because work....

As a Netflix subscriber who doesn’t get BBC America, this is fantastic news!

Dual front airbags became mandatory in September 1998.
People were told to keep kids out of the front seats in the late 90s.
Side airbags became far more common in the mid 2000s.
ABS became much more common
ESC became standard on most trucks and SUVs

All sorts of things - and all of these take a few years to phase in and…

Snow and ice in April. Gritty factories. Potholes. These things that make Detroit proverbially unattractive make it the perfect place for a future automotive industry centered on semi-autonomous — and eventually fully driverless — vehicles.

Pass the baton and have a friend complete the gear change when you hit neutral.

I once went down the rabbit hole of trying to find a skipped timing chain, only to later be shown that what really was happening was the carb was pouring gas into the engine. All of the oil had been washed off of the cylinder walls and the compression was gone.

I crashed my 818R at slow speeds in the wet during a test-and-tune autocross. For about a week after I spent every waking moment figuring out what happened to make it not run right intermittently, trying desperately to get it working by the next weekend when I planned to have my last autox before the homemade car’s…

Not one that is too bad but kinda funny:

Replacing rotors for my first time ever. I had removed the wheel and caliper and the rotor wouldn’t budge. I saw this big ole nut right in the middle (axle nut obviously now) and thought, well shit, I need to take that off? I drove my dad’s friend’s manual Saab, at the time I had barely ever driven stick, rented a hub…

I bought a “used” Ducati 1098R with 1 mile on it from a guys collection. They came with both a street and track ecu/exhaust. He took the track stuff off before selling, and sold it. Part of the good deal was the money off for only having the street stuff. Anyway, I’m prepping it for track use with a tasty full…

That’ll be Danny Hart’s 2011 run....

Some of us this saw live on TV...in the course of which David Coulthard gave us his comment that because of the tight leathers you could see that Guy had steel gentleman’s bits.

EPA: We’ll get to the lead poisoned water in Flint right after we crush these cars.
