There's pictures online of parking lots (and fields) with hundreds, maybe thousands, of unsold Teslas, including cybertrucks, some of which have been sitting long enough for grass to be growing around them. Ain't no reservation worth anything when you can offer to take one off their hands.

Take the highway route once a week, and call that good enough.

Watch I know someone who had one, and traded it in after the second DPF replacement under warranty. But, he did a lot of short-trip urban driving, and that's not good for any emission-controlled diesel because the DPF never has time to regenerate itself. If you do a decent number of longer...

I'm here now. Nobody else is. Rain was threatening, but it looks dry now.

Well, it's double the price originally promised, doesn't match any of the promises originally made, is of dubious build quality, and makes anyone driving one a laughingstock. I'm still convinced that GM looked at the original promised specifications and said "Okay."

And ... How fast was the rider going? There's no law concerning lean angle. And, rather importantly, the rider was on the correct side of the centre line (which IS a big deal, as it should be). That the rider was on the correct side of the centre line and thus not straightening the corner much...

It's designed for it. That engine will spin 8000 rpm all day.

In fairness, WhistlinDiesel was deliberately doing things to break the vehicle. If you are on a mission to break something, you will eventually succeed. I don't think deliberately driving over the edge of something so that the rear bumper support lands solidly on a concrete block is a fair...

AFAIK there's never been official OPP/MTO vehicle inspections at any events on private property, buuuuut they could, theoretically, clandestinely keep an eye on things and take note of which vehicles need to be pulled over down the road after the event. The most I've encountered personally was...

Anyone else in complete ignorance of the Olympics other than what I hear incidentally?

I'm not sure how video cameras are supposed to distinguish dangerous actions from ordinary lane changes, BUT I will say this ... The average-speed cameras in the UK on motorway roadworks zones are annoying as heck (50 mph) but nobody's driving aggressively there. What's the point of doing...

I betcha someone filled the premium underground tank with regular.

Weather radar right now indicates a microscopic spot of heavy rain right over Matt's house, and nothing else. LOL In fairness, about an hour ago, a shower passed through here which didn't show up on weather radar. I'm in if weather stays decent.

I'm in the middle of fixing worn-out stuff. I wore out the clutch release shaft on my ZX10R (which has 140 000 km). The shaft has a hinged piece which the cable pulls, which pivots on a rivet, and that rivet wore out so that the clutch release went sloppy and inconsistent. I showed this to a...

Is the bike supplying power to it? Tip-over switch?

Not sure about that particular bike, but on other superbike brands, it's pretty common for the oil cooler to be an oil-to-coolant heat exchanger. That's the way my ZX10R is. The coolant passage through the oil cooler is not regulated by the thermostat. The oil temp is going to be influenced by...

They're both tough tests. Oil pressure and flow are low at idle, too. Contact pressure between cam lobes and followers depends on the valve springs and that's always there (perhaps Ducati has an advantage here!).

I use Motul 7100 in my race bike (yamaha r3) and I change it mid-season and end of season. This is about every 600 - 800 km of beating on it. It usually retains its red colour. Never did oil analysis. Never had gearshifting issues.

No matter the internal processes of the Democratic party, she still won't have the authority to do one single thing, until after the American population casts their vote on 5 November. Let's also keep in mind that the US system has a written process for what happens if a sitting president is no...

Let's all keep in mind that a "direct democracy" can lead to decisions being made because they are popular, not because they are correct. "I want free this, and handouts for that, and financial support for the other thing." OK, sounds good, voted, done, done, done. "No new taxes." OK, voted...
