LOL that wheel hub isn’t even close! Were there different wheel options offered on these vans or something? Read more

Changing the nomenclature from indicating displacement to horsepower would be quite dumb, whilst also backing themselves into a corner. Read more

I love how compared to the kid’s aimless meandering, he now has a challenge course that is no doubt going to help hone his riding skills. Look how much he enjoys it too! Just imagine, if this is what sparks the kid’s later involvement in a racing career... Read more

This is absolutely fascinating! But at the same time, it really helps deepen my appreciation for good ol’ driver’s seats. It really is a superior design to have the weight of your torso anchored and strapped in while your appendages reach out to control the vehicle. Having to balance your own weight on foot with… Read more

I’d rather not see a frunk issue completely brick the car. A sort of “limp mode” is much better, so that the car can remain drivable- even if only at speeds suitable for parking lots. No sense in forcing the technician at the shop to push the car into his bay by hand on account of a frunk sensor failure. Read more

Fair point. So how old was this particular Model S and what hardware would that indicate that it was running? I didn’t see a model year mentioned in the article. Read more

Ok so there are responsible Autopilot users, and there are irresponsible Autopilot users (like this one). But Autopliot’s inherent capabilities and limitations remain the same across all cars that it’s installed in, right? If this one steered directly into a cop car, doesn’t that mean that any other Autopliot-equipped… Read more

I just realized that I always assumed that the double Rs were the logo. I hadn’t considered the box to be an essential part of it. I just figured it was a nice frame, providing a place to spell out what “RR” stands for. This change feels less like an alteration, and more like a clarification of what the logo is in its… Read more

Its very dark at night without a ton of street lights and when these guys brake it doesn’t show at all.. Read more

Terrible puns hanging from the rafters.

The darkened lights could certainly be considered a contributing factor, but it wouldn’t transfer all responsibility of the crash to the driver of the darkened car. Of course he should still be penalized for the lighting equipment failure, as well as any road ragey behavior (such as brake-checking) that he may have… Read more

I can’t help but hear “life without legs!” at the end of the chorus to Taiwanese artist Jay Chou’s Blue Storm: (1:46)

Hard bumpers are even more useful than that. It’s not just that trucks can be more prone to small accidental collisions in a harsh work environment. Some of those love taps can be completely intentional (like for giving a stuck vehicle a little push or whatever) and you really need something more substantial for that… Read more

Welp, at least it’s better than the hand shifter
