If you had asked me to attend the Taunggyi Fire Balloon Festival, I would have said no. If you had asked me to attend the Taunggyi Fire Balloon Festival, and then promised me this would happen, I would have totally gone. Read more

Yea, S600. I'm not going to do the Model S door handles on that car, I don't think they'd look good and I like the old school chrome push button handles. Read more

I considered doing a pressure sensitive switch with a stepper motor, but I have pretty good luck with it the way it is. the other guys in the video are pouring directly into the center of a level cup, which is what is causing all the foam. Read more

Love it. It takes a certain personality (lots of work and the bar is very high), but its totally worth it. Read more

It was Firestone DBA. We usually get Firestone Pale Ale, but they were out. Read more

I'm gonna go with all minivans, like this fancy one I just bought yesterday for camping, towing, and skiing. They've been too uncool for too long, though I think if you're married and have kids, it's probably unsalvagably uncool. Also, I believe this brown corduroy jacket is also so uncool that it is cool, but I…

Plus, if you do get that job at an automotive company, you can't actually build a car with 29" wheels, 4" tall mail slot windows, and zero rear and side visibility. Read more

Growing up in Oklahoma and living in Los Angeles, I get to see two pretty different shades of expected chivalry. If you don't give up your seat, tip your hat, and say ma'am in OK, you're not a real man, and if you do those things in LA, you think women are things. And now we're getting a split on the liberal side,… Read more

I've always been astonished at how bad the New York Times reviews are, given that they are supposed to be the newspaper of record. But I guess when cars are just those yellow things that take you to the airport, you're probably not terribly enthusiastic about them. Read more

Bottom 15? Read more

You mean that newspaper that employs the only auto reviewer to ever win a Pulitzer? Read more

It's been mentioned, but in SoCal, the places with the worst traffic during the day are barely patrolled at night. I wouldn't recommend going 150 on the 405 given it's roughness (and the fact that there is still quite a bit of traffic at 3am), but I've gone 105 on the 105 more times than I can count. Read more

Fisker gets Justin Bieber and Ashton Kutcher. Tesla gets Morgan Freeman and Stephen Spielberg. I think Tesla wins this round. Read more

They'll call it "cost-down" when they remove it on the next model. Read more

How is Elon Musk's Model S modified, and how do you know this? Read more

I would buy a Lincoln if it came with a free opportunity to punch Jimmy Fallon in the nuts. Read more

There are three heat exchangers on the Model S; two A/C condensers outboard and a center powertrain radiator. Each has its own grille opening and there are active shutters that direct airflow. Most electric cars need similar airflow for the A/C condensers compared to a similarly sized IC car. Most IC engine cars… Read more

So what you're saying, is that blue people like water. That makes sense. Read more

How about that Lada 2015 in Goldeneye. I think there was another cool vehicle in this scene, but i can't... remember... something about a military vehicle of some kind or..?

You're taking the political donations of one or two "individuals associated with a company" and attributing a political affiliation to that company based on that? Am I reading this right? Read more
