Hydrogen infrastructure may be limited, but Toyota's experimental Mirai is still outselling its flagship performance car.

Cummins Inc. has agreed to pay an over $1.67 billion penalty to settle claims by regulators that the engine manufacturer unlawfully altered hundreds of thousands of pickup truck engines to bypass emissions tests. According to the U.S. Justice Department, which announced the agreement in principle Thursday, Cummins' alleged actions violated the Clear Air Act — a federal law that requires car and engine manufacturers to comply with emission limits. The $1.675 billion fine would be the largest civil penalty the Justice Department has secured under the Clear Air Act to date and second largest environmental penalty ever secured.

The Volkswagen Up GTI I had in France last summer was a dream. It also had 17-inch wheels and low-profile tires. Off the coast, I ran over what seemed to be an innocuous small rock in the road. I knew something was wrong in about the next 10 seconds.

Hello everyone!

The original creator of this community went inactive a long time ago and ever since the moderation and activity has gone down to pretty much 0 in this community.

Although luckily, I was able to takeover, and I am hoping this community can be what r/Cars has been for on Reddit, a place for all car enthusiasts to gather and discuss. And speaking of r/cars on reddit, if we can get back to sustainable community growth here, we may be able to partner with r/cars, which can be huge for our community here on the Fediverse.

This community, as a fellow car enthusiast, is really important to me and so far, we have not only removed multiple spam posts and placed bans on spam bots or rule breakers, we've also been testing banners and logos, we have also implemented rules and description which will continue to be refined.

Finally, hope the community can comeback alive, if you are interested in cars, please do consider posting and interacting here.

Thank you!

It took long enough, but Toyota’s mid-size pickup returns to glory with refined road manners and features befitting a bestseller.

Tesla is recalling nearly all 2 million of its cars on US roads to limit the use of its Autopilot feature after a review of nearly 1,000 crashes in which the feature was engaged.

There are few cars that create such an emotional response as the Mini. In 1959 it was a modern, cutting-edge design, but today is a cute, old-fashioned car. It’s gone from being the height of practicality to completely impractical, certainly compared to modern cars. But that emotional response was understood by those who sought to recreate it at the turn of the Millenium, creating a practical car that nevertheless cherishes its British Mini roots. So, just why did the British Motor Corporation decide to build this tiny car? And why was the Mini on sale, almost unchanged, for over 40 years?

I just put some new shoes in the Wife's ride finally. Going from 16x5 to 16x7 widened out the pinched 185-55-16 which has positively affected the handling as I intended. I'll check the alignment one of these days at work since I haven't done it in ages.

Here are mine. What’s does everyone else have?

1969 Ford F250
Rebuilt 390fe with a mild cam and intake manifold
Rebuilt c6 auto
Converted to EFI (fitech)
Running but I need to sort out the exhaust and the plugs are fouled from a bad fuel pump pressure regulator. Plans include adding A/C and converting it back to column shift.
Also need to replace some suspension bushings before adding a sway bar.

1961 Lincoln Continental sedan
Rebuilt 430 MEL engine
Converted to EFI (F.A.S.T.)
New interior, headliner.
Hasn’t ran in 5 years so I’m dropping the fuel tank this winter. It’s currently lowered but I don’t like how it rides so I’m going to take it back to stock ride height. I also need to sort out all the vacuum lines.
