It’s a minor change, but one that becomes more baffling the more you think about it. It’s a change in design to the front light units. Here’s the previous version of the LCF’s lights: See those lights? They’re tall, slanted-top corner units, with a square-ish headlight area at the bottom and that trapezoidal indicator up top, separated by that little grooved silver bar. They’re fine for this application, nothing too special, but they seem modern enough and fit the overall look....

Incredible Acceleration When the C8 Corvette debuted, it was fairly obvious that Chevrolet was planning some sort of electrification. Come on, nobody designs a car with a huge central tunnel without intent to put something in that space. The result? Chevrolet claims that the E-Ray will run from zero-to-60 mph in just 2.5 seconds and blitz the standing quarter mile in 10.5 seconds. That’s a tenth of a second quicker than the Corvette Z06 in both metrics, all without the fancy quad-cam V8....

Car phones, using a combination of radio and normal telephone lines, have been around since the mid ’40s, though back then the equipment was pretty significant and consumed a decent chunk of a car’s trunk. Here’s an old video explaining how it worked, along with a lot of hilariously stilted conversations: This probably deserves more than just a Cold Start, but I couldn’t help talking about it a bit. Anyway, welcome to a new week....

Here’s the facing page: Now no cheating if you already know Dutch; if that’s you, excuse yourself immediately go eat one of those brownies that make you see god’s uncle or whatever. For the rest of us, can that picture and these descriptions give you enough to figure things out? Like, I think the 3. for the windows suggests the windows are plexiglass and maybe “twee kinderen” means something about little kids?...

Perhaps more so than other employers in this sector, the recruitment process at Credit Suisse is heavily biased towards interviews, with successful candidates expected to face at least two to three rounds of interviews before a final offer is made. Depending on the position and location of the role you are applying for, you can expect to undergo a number of different stages within the overall process. These may include (but are not restricted to) the following:...

​ Source: Pixabay ​ 1. Practical Information First, let’s get all of the practical information out of the way. Getting a study visa for the UK is relatively straightforward, provided you have an offer from an accredited UK university and are able to prove you have the means to support yourself. Once there, you will be permitted to work up to 20 hours a week at any part-time job you fancy....

The criteria used to select these is simple: what old-ish car commercials had the ability to plant a song (or, more commonly, a tiny, miserable fragment of a song) into my head, and there it would stay, until I seriously would consider using something like a hammer to attempt to remove it. And now, the goal is to plant one or more of these into your head, too! You’re welcome!...

General Motors has a history of rolling out rather fantastic concepts that sadly, often never reach production. How many times have we seen a beautiful Cadillac concept over the years just to be saddened to see it never reach production? Remember the Buick Avista? Or the angular Northstar V12-powered Cadillac Cien supercar? Those cars exist only as one-off concept cars and as dreams living rent-free in your head. But the General hasn’t given just supercars and grand tourers the one-off concept treatment....

My friend is named Jeremy, and unlike all of us, Jeremy is a successful, well-adjusted person with a real job and a wife who went to 9th grade prom with me and dogs and a house and no painful obsession with cars. He’s a huge F1 fan, sure, but when it comes to cars he’s very much a normie, in that his needs are rational: safe, reliable, all that. Oh, but he does play a double-bass, so he needs something that can haul around an instrument the size of a corpse....

The World Health Organization estimates that 80% of the world’s population, or about 4 billion people, currently uses herbal medicine for some of their health care. The trouble with supplements is that they can be hard to navigate. Is that herbal tea good for you? Or is it more of an additive to your tea collection? We’re here to help you get to know the supplements you’re interested in and how to find herbal shops near me....

My biggest worry with Germany’s TÜV inspection is that technicians sometimes don’t know the ins and outs of all the cars they’re dealing with. That may seem like someone venting their frustrations, but it’s not — it’s acknowledged as a major problem by the “Oldtimer” car community here in Germany. Take two of the reasons why my 1994 Chrysler Voyager failed its inspection back in 2020 (see below): The rear brakes were considered too weak and the steering column wasn’t locking properly....

A bit like Y2K, the Y2K22 bug is a date-related issue that affects certain 32-bit pieces of software. Why? Well, in short, the largest signed integer that a 32-bit format can store is 2147483647, or 01111111111111111111111111111111 in binary. These older Honda navigation systems appear to use a YYMMDDhhmm date format, then convert that number to a signed 32-bit integer and store it for calendar use. For example, August 17, 2021 at 12:35 PM would be stored as 2108171235....

This past weekend The Autopian’s three founders, Jason Torchinsky, Beau Boeckmann, and I joined Matt Hardigree and Beau’s team at Pebble Beach’s absurdly extravagant “Car Week.” The Quail show was nuts, featuring every car exec and plenty of celebrities, and the Concours — the main event — was even nuts-er. But between those two celebrations of automobile beauty and opulence was a celebration of jankiness: The Concours d’Lemons. The show featured some truly absurd and rare old junkers like a French MinicComtesse and a Lincoln Continental turned into a horse....

So, you have the moving day arriving soon and all your household stuff is packed efficiently in boxes, all set to be loaded and transported to the new house.
