It’s the name “Mach E” that draws my ire most of all. “Mach E” would have been a good title for an electric variant of the Mustang. The name obviously calls to mind the Mach 1, implying speed, performance, and suggesting an electric powertrain. But there is nothing about the name that even hints at the notion of being… Read more

So if you want the lug nuts tightened properly, how DO you ensure that the shop “performs” that? If the state of Michigan does not consider lug nut tightening to be implied under the work order’s “rotate tires” line item, then are they really expecting shops to spell out “tighten lug nuts to factory specification” as… Read more

Some drivers accelerate faster in certain environments than in others—something that the AI software can’t yet discern.

Wow, that looks a lot better than most G80 rear ends.

I was wondering the same. 11foot8.com’s FAQ page muses that raising the bridge would require extensive construction along the rails in either direction. But the Durham Transportation Department tweet only shows one work zone, directly under the bridge in question.

That hand at 4:07 gives me the creeps.

Growing up, I couldn’t help but hear “dirty deeds, THUN-DER CHEEKS”. I wasn’t paying much attention to the rest of the lyrics, but did manage to catch the “36-24-36” part, which reinforced my assumption that the song’s meaning was in the same vein as Brick House and Fat Bottomed Girls. Read more

My second car wasn’t all that different from my first car: I upgraded from a 1989 Chevy Suburban R1500 to a 1990 GMC Suburban V2500. They were even the same color (Onyx Black w Quicksilver side stripe). Read more

I really wish it hadn’t become such common practice to refer to high-octane fuel as “premium grade”. Those words make it sound like something special but unnecessary to splurge on. Which is sad because for some cars, it’s much more of a necessity than a luxury. People who don’t know that they need high-octane fuel are… Read more

I’ve been wondering about this too. It can be a grey area in some states/provinces, and maybe the strict adherence of autonomous systems will force lawmakers to clarify/update/change the law as necessary. Who knows, maybe they’ll have to start adding protected lefts (green arrow) to ALL traffic signals. Read more

Proper SUV or truck can also easily absorb poorly maintained roads. Pothole that could damage a Honda Civic rim has no effect on Suv/truck 17" rim with decent rubber sidewall. Read more

I, too, hate people’s laziness and over-reliance on backup cameras. But let’s not forget to direct some of our rage towards automakers’ over-reliance on those cameras too. Even when combined with blind spot monitoring systems, they’re just not a sufficient replacement for the visibility that was forfeited in the… Read more

My longest regular commute was 55 miles each way. Only about 10 of those miles was freeway, and it typically took about 75 minutes to get to (or from) work. I averaged about 14MPG in a 1989 Suburban. Read more

Not sure how you’d even confirm a bad sensor, unless it was giving readings that don’t correspond with “full”, “empty”, or anything in-between. Without a dipstick, I guess you’d have to drain the engine and put the correct capacity back in? Read more

CARS ARE DEATH MACHINES

Porsche is trying so hard to be different that they forgot to avoid being wrong. It’s painfully obvious that “Porschean” is an adjective, and has no business being used as a noun. Every single one of your suggestions are superior options. TORCH 2020! Read more
