Another thing worth noting is that if your vehicle has a donut spare, or if you get bigger wheels/tires without also upgrading the spare, you should not place the spare on a drive axle. Read more

I have no idea if this post will do traffic, but I love when Jalopnik publishes just completely random stuff. 10/10 :) Read more

“20D” eh? So I assume you get a dice roll every time you start the engine. What happens when you land on 1? Piston leaves the engine and punches a new hole in a Boeing airliner? Read more

Agreed. There is being safe, and there is being so scared of a lawsuit that it hurts the articles. Sadly, the writers can't do anything about it. I know I tried to push back during my time here! Read more

My biggest question: Was this year filled with chants and a sea of MAGA flags dominating the camps around Hammertown? When I went in 2022, it felt more like I was at a political rally that happened to have a race going through it. Sometimes the “Let’s Go Brandon” chants drowned out the racing action, which was as… Read more

The majority of the changes you see to this site have come down from the top of the media group. Read more

“Boeing should held accountable considering that they promoted this as w weight and fuel savings feature.” Read more

“And yes if the engine catches on fire we would be blaming Boeing.” Read more

The map of the area (can’t post it since lord Spanfeller got rid of images) shows enough straight track that he could have seen the train coming, but the crossing is really sucky. Poor guy was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Read more

Good news! The subway doesn’t cost an arm and a leg, just the leg will be fine! Read more

I have two big hot takes, at least depending on the audience: Read more

I recently learned something that made me far more sympathetic to southern and west coast drivers who can’t drive in the snow. Read more

The demand is already there. People with early 2010s EVs (Smart Fortwo, Nissan Leaf, Fiat 500e, Th!nk City, etc) are already encountering expensive failures from their motors and batteries. However, not a single aftermarket manufacturer sells generic powertrain parts for those vehicles. Read more

I used to take driver seat selfies all of the time. Still do on occasion. Idk, sometimes I look in the mirror, feel good about myself, and just want to take a shot. I don’t really think about the car, specifically. They didn’t seem to bother the lady who became my wife. :) Read more

No theories needed. Investigators found no evidence that anyone ever shot at the officers. Investigators even matched the sound of the acorn hitting the patrol car to the supposed gunshot heard by the officer. A gunshot that caused an acorn to fall would have recorded two sounds, not just the sound of acorn on metal. Read more

Here’s one that was and still is a bit of a debacle in the U.S. Smart Fortwo community. Read more

There’s no reason for this. There’s no context in which you can put it where it makes sense. Read more

According to the source article, Cahill was not on the flight or even at the departing airport, so the unruly passenger couldn’t possibly have been them. Someone at the airline goofed up and banned the wrong person, then seemingly refused to admit they screwed up. Read more

Also notable is the fact that while Ryanair is the butt of airline jokes, it has a good safety record. Read more

I’m surprised the darned thing didn’t hydrolock. Looks like it may have stalled out, but the video shows what looks like the truck reversing out under its own power. If that’s not a good Ram commercial, I don’t know what is.
