British prime minister, Rishi Sunak, officially walked-back the 2030 deadline for all new cars & vans sold in the UK to be electric. The deadline got pushed back to 2035. It’s only a 5-year difference in the grand scheme of things. And perhaps a wise one. But some...

Fixed annoying leak in the Porsche 944 for $5

When it rained, water would leak in the passenger side of the Porsche 944. Who would've thought a $5 can of Flex Seal would actually fix it? NOPE, this is not a paid advertisement... just some good ol' redneck engineering lol. But hey, if it works it works....

UAW vs CEOs (strike strike strike)
