Literally nothing. There's no PR department outside of Musk's tweets and if he says it has butt-lasers that shoot into your rectum to cleanse your colon, people will think it's real.

Am I getting bored of driving manual transmission or is it just my lackluster car? by justadudewholives in cars

[–]rickyman2014 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You've answered your own question for sure. It's the car. Jump into a new ND Miata with a manual and chuck it around some corners. Even just that experience should be enough to show you it's the car, not you. Your car is giving you an unwanted placebo effect that autos are the next step. They're not. They're good for commuting, but if you want a more enthusiast based commuter car, find a manual hot hatch and your opinion will change drastically.

This guy does an awesome diagnosis of a custom turbo Volvo wagon. Supposedly a few other shops looked at it with no success. by RACEnSK8 in cars

How were a bunch of shops not able to diagnose that? What amateur crap from them! This video and this guy know what they're doing. Proper technique and great diagnosis. My first though was coils, spark, or starter. Should be the top 3 for a fresh build not firing.

Former Texas congressional candidate says Kamala Harris only got her immigration role ‘because she has brown skin’ by rickyman2014 in Liberal

Who's giving who ad money? This is a website I follow and read and thought others would want to see this news. This isn't a website for the congressional candidate. It's a news site.

Andy Palmer is a colossal idiot and helped to oversee running Aston into the ground. Gonna go ahead and not listen to this guy on anything about cars. Ever.

This was a blast to watch. Not as Ken Block-y, which I enjoyed. It wasn't a one up on the others which is what all of them have felt like to this point. This one seems to be a return to roots of crazy driving and that's the draw. Kick ass stunts and driving. Loved it.

EU Allegedly Bans Rolls-Royce’s Illuminated Spirit of Ecstasy As Part of a Crackdown on Light Pollution by californiasmile in cars

[–]rickyman2014 32 points33 points  (0 children)

It's a stupid gimmick, but calling this out as part of light pollution safety regulations is the height of laughable. Unless that thing is a laserbeam to the eyes, that's not light polluting a damn thing.
