you ask "why's your truck got 4 flat tires and sound like the control arms are bent, mister?"

a skeleton ghost points and laughs at you, saying "ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS," then speeds off

I hate to apply the brakes, but as severe as that looks, that's actually pretty standard. My Mazda has a similar multi-link setup with that alarming-looking ball joint right up top precariously positioned over the tire tread.

This is correct. The tire and that ball joint with the pokey bit are not going to hit each other because the steering knuckle there is all one piece. That aluminum curve at the top where the ball joint pokes down is the top part of a big, single, sturdy piece. The levelling sensor being exposed to rocks IS a little goofy though.

Yah seconding this, some years of the RAV4 had a really distressing looking pokey part extremely close to jabbing into the sidewalls. But for that to ever happen a bunch of poo poo would have had to have broken where you’re pretty hosed already. It’s not an unusual sight although it totally makes sense why people would think it was kinda messed up.

I was a bit surprised to see stamped steel instead of a cast or forged part for the control arms but I’m not a car expert, probably that’s fairly normal too.

Ram uses plastic overmolded stamped steel.




Ford uses stamped steel on the lightning, but it's boxed.



rivian uses cast aluminum.

Stamped stuff is extremely normal, steel boxes nicely, cast aluminum is also very aite

Gawker killed Gawker. They got an order from a federal judge and said "nuh-uh, we're leaving the sextape video up. The first amendment says so!" That is put a gun to your own head stupid.

Not actually what happened. They got an order to take down the video and the accompanying post describing the video, they took down the video but left the post up, arguing (probably legally correctly) that the first amendment would protect merely describing the content of the video.

of course legally correct doesn't mean much when you don't have the money to appeal or continue the legal fight...

I was watching some video about the Rivian, and the guy was saying that when you put the gate back up, any dirt or whatever falls right down into the holes by a bunch of circuits and electronics.
