I was taught a neat trick for plunging toilets: lower the plunger into the bowl as close to sideways as you can, and get as much water inside the cup as possible. You don’t want to push a big bubble of air down the drain; it’s just going to fight you. So push water instead for a more effective plunge. Water isn’t… Read more

IF that is a pivot point, it won’t articulate very far before the sides touch.

I can’t take a driver’s or a pedestrian’s side by default. Each incident has to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Read more

Just to be clear, the telescoping feature is only for use while parked, isn’t it? There doesn’t appear to be any articulation point between the rear axles, so I can’t imagine it would handle turns very well in its extended form. Just like any other slide-out, it would have to be retracted for transport, so it’s not… Read more

Seems pretty desperate to me. Ford has so little faith in the buying public being interested in an electric SUV, that they’re throwing Mustang branding and styling at it in hopes that we’ll think it’s cool. But it doesn’t need any of that. It probably IS going to be really cool. Or at least, it would have been without… Read more

I’d rather have a T5 Mustang than an AOD one!

Drop anchor! Read more

I think it’s important to distinguish that LFB is being presented here as an advanced driving technique, and that the advice is being directed towards attentive people who actually care about their driving and are interested in improving. It is not necessarily saying “hey everybody should do this”. There are already… Read more

Even though manual transmissions and EVs are 99% mutually exclusive, this feels like comparing apples to oranges. Read more

Welp, at least manuals still have a weight advantage. Read more

I live next to the roundabout (rotary) capital of the world. I am not kidding when I say it’s in Carmel, Indiana. Look it up. Read more

Could it be a bumper for the steering knuckle to contact when maximum steering angle is reached? Read more

...the system is filled from the factory with standard DOT4 fluid that is available at any parts store. Since the system does not have to be opened up for any type of scheduled maintenance, there are no refills or bleeding required. Read more

The Porsche comparison is a good thought-provoking point. After all, German brands seem to favor “corporate grilles”, so why would it be wrong for US makes to do the same thing? Read more

Even if it doesn’t end up being called “Mach E” or anything else Mustang-related, the damage is done. They’re already trying too hard to echo the Mustang with those taillamps, and it’s totally uncalled-for. Adopting Mustang styling onto other Fords is just going to dilute the Mustang brand and make the Mustang less… Read more

The driver’s ability to see the rock right next to their SUV isn’t really the problem here (although I am ALL FOR better visibility in today’s abysmal bunkers-on-wheels). The problem is that they failed to notice it earlier, when it was still visible through the windshield. And/or that they failed to remember that… Read more

Enforcement of existing laws (and not just the ones towards cyclists) would be much more effective towards safety than adding more laws. Because we already have laws that, if followed, ensure 99% safety (pretty hard to avoid sudden natural disasters like a tree branch falling at a perfectly inopportune time). But too… Read more

It does ruin the point of a truck, which is why something like this will never see production. A real EV truck will need to have more realistic packaging. Read more

Interesting, that wasn’t in the article earlier. Must have been edited in. Read more
