Jalopnik needs 100% more this and 100% fewer shitty jokes from...literally all of their writers.

Stiffness is not the same as strength (and may not even be desirable for all applications). I guess Ford thinks it is useful here though.

My numbers seem to say that for a 1000 mile range, you’d need 1800 KWh worth of batteries, or 450 KWh for a 250 mile range - about 4-5 hours of driving.

I agree, but I want BUDDY Jesus.

In what way will a nearly 4100lb, 414hp kick the ass of a 3300lb, 436hp car? Even the 400hp C6 would easily beat a DB7 in every performance aspect.

I’m actually impressed with Alex’s ability to stay calm in all of this. Two rules I learned when I grew up in a now open-carry state: “You can’t reason with the unreasonable” and “Assume they have a gun.” This is exactly how you act in this situation when confronted. Keep calm and keep your friends calm.

Wow, good job photog Alex Stone at keeping your cool in this situation, I would have really struggled to do the same given this guys aggression. He definitely did the right thing though, and am glad it all worked out for the best and this lunatic got arrested, he certainly deserved to. Trying to run them off the road…

Yep, it’s not ever necessary. In some cases, especially domestic violence, it’s hard to secure a conviction with a victim who doesn’t want to be there, but the DA has discretion in what charges to bring. The State’s interest in keeping dangerous assholes off the streets is separate from the victim’s interest seeing…

Talk about a true *manual* choke.

He’s gonna hook the intakes directly to the HVAC vents in the dash.

And this article from Torch argues that it does:

This article would argue that it doesn’t:

Could have been a 4.2 or 4.7 liter engine. They were used in both Ferrari and Maserati models, in both front and mid-engine configurations.

It didn’t say Maserati. Probably wasn’t since the valve covers say Ferrari. I was just blue skying about a possible exotic car engine swap.

uh how is sarcastically saying he hates flamingos (which obviously means he doesn’t hate flamingos) and telling people to stop eating the eggs somehow “belittle” the flamingo. what? if anything, he’s mocking the people that used to eat their eggs (which probably deserves its own criticism), not the flamingos.

My shame is that I simply copied the first one that came up on google images. I will now go into the wilderness to wallow in my disgrace.

Also, use the right picture. That’s the picture for “...you killed my father. prepare to die.”

Thats not at all what happened, Top Gear straight up lied during the review saying the car ran out of juice, which was not the case at all.
