Also a yoke is exactly the shape you don't want to try and be chasing when you need to stop the car doing something it shouldn't like holy poo poo. gently caress Tesla FSD, and double gently caress that stupid yoke thing. quote:Seems Rivian also has assembly issues... A little concerning. I don't see a stud, broken or otherwise, for the upper ball joint, and the lower appears to have pulled out of the lower control arm, snap ring and all. Did someone miss tightening the upper ball joint nut?

And buys what the other rich folks have? I picked my lawyer on legal abilities and who he knows, not dumb car choices. He owns a plane too but I do not know the info. Should I pick the sad lawyer with a cheap suit in a dump office without a plane?

CAT INTERCEPTOR posted:Pople can be good at their job and total morons elsewhere you weirdos, enough with the lawyer derail Still very very very annoyed at a very senior coworker at my company. He caught Covid while on a business trip to the UK. He flew back to the US while having visible symptoms and testing positive for it. This could be partly forgiven because society has cometely collapsed, but he said he did not wear a mask while on the plane because the airlines don't require it, so he definitely got others sick on that flight. This guy is a lead engineer in our company, but it just goes to show that having a PhD and position as a senior fellow doesn't mean he isn't an absolute idiot about other subjects. (I know the US doesn't require a negative test to reenter the country anymore, but the guy was even asking on a conference call if he could return to the office while still sick because the recommended quarantine period is now only 5 days or something.)

An Aston Martin is like an F1 car? Yeah I guess in that they've got 4 wheels and an engine and are quicker than the majority of other cars... https://twitter.com/deerfella/status/1560106534968864768?t=HoP9Y7cdc0RTk0Fc8jTx3A&s=19

They spend the same time in the garage getting a new engine and parts so it actually fits.

I guess the guy could have a Valkyrie and would have a bit of a point, but I would guess that at best he's got a Vantage F1 Edition but probably not even that.

fridge corn posted:Does AM even have DCTs in their road cars yet? I havent really been following along A friend owned a 2017 V8 Vantage GTS for all of maybe 9 months. Gorgeous car (not silver, white, or black), but he said that with only 35k miles the (automatic) clutch was slipping and the local Aston dealer and ones in Houston and Dallas basically refused to do the replacement. I guess they figure they can make more money doing oil changes or something. He also was telling me that despite bleeding the brakes multiple times, they would start to feel spongy, and sourcing parts to do DIY maintenance was apparently a headache. I think he sold it about 2 months ago after just getting blown off by shops.

Usually you can kinda help it along by recalibrating the system, which an Aston dealer most certainly should do before recommending replacement. Changing the clutch is a fairly big job but no idea why a dealer would (or even could) refuse to do the work. That's something you could complain to the manufacturer for. That auto-manual gearbox sucks so much. Beautiful colour

If you weren't just going WOT and sort of bracing for gear changes, he told me it was jarring and clunky. The color was great though. It didn't photograph well, but it was an orange-red metallic flake. Very pretty. The solid crystal ash tray in the center console was a nice touch.

https://twitter.com/BurtoniMotors_/status/1560062087153459200 from a techcrunch article: "and finally, an exhaust that can reach 126 decibels. Yes, the automaker put an “exhaust” on an EV and gave it a dB that will make it as loud as a Hellcat-powered Dodge by pushing sound through an amplifier and tuning chamber located at the rear of the vehicle."  why is this a thing? is it some terminal mopar boomer brain thing that any vehicle MUST make growly engine sound even if it's a loving EV? it's so god drat juvenile and i absolutely can't get my head around it.

It needs to blow tons of steam out of exhaust pipes.  I know years ago we were joking about having software/amps/speakers to make a Prius sound like a big block V8 so here we are!

Why is that loving sound going outside. Just put the speakers inside dodge, what the gently caress. Nobody wants to hear your exhaust sound around you. Either fake or real. That was the opportunity to stop pissing everyone one off and they did that?

This was designed so Dodge owners could continue waking sleeping babies and pissing people off with zero emissions. It's dumb. That sound should go inside so the owner can enjoy it.
