Man, lifts are such a game-changer when you have access to one! I know a guy who actually built one himself using a couple of old forklift masts. They’re securely anchored about 9 feet apart, and have been modified with swing-arms and locks that automatically click into place every few inches as the load is raised. Read more

Some day we’ll look back on how primitive this technology was, and laugh.

Hm, good question. Judging by “apparent intent”... I would probably default to calling the device a wing if there was an air gap (of any size) between the blade and the body of the car. If there was no gap, and it merely appeared to change the aerodynamic shape of the body, then I’d go with spoiler. Read more

I do like the idea of basing our definitions on what the device actually accomplishes... but what if the “wing” is set at a completely neutral angle, creating little-to-no lift/downforce/spoilage? Some “wings” are -to be perfectly honest- just there for cosmetics... Read more

And I believe you’ve found it! (with the perfect title to sum it all up, I might add.) Read more

Ew orange, my least favorite color to see while driving.

Would they? See, that’s why I was lamenting the close-up of the sign. It really depends on the layout of the intersections where these no-left-turn signs are being posted. If (?) any of those cross-streets have dedicated left turn lanes, it would be easy enough to block off those turn lanes without blocking thru- or… Read more

Ok, so I see the one pic of the no-left-turn sign, but it’s so close-up, it’s hard to get an overall sense of how easy it would be to overlook that sign. Are they hard to see while driving? Read more

Why not both?
