Patent filings from Ferrari reveal the brand is working on an interesting method of shifting the driver over in its cars. Under the filings, Ferrari is working on a movable driver’s seat, wheel, and up to three pedals that will shift on a track towards the middle of the car, resulting in a McLaren F1-style center-seat driving experience. Alternatively, the vehicle could be piloted from off-center, as in existing Ferrari road cars. Information found by AutoGuide in the patent seems to indicate that this will, unlike some center-seat vehicles, not fit three passengers. Ferrari’s patent filing states that “a side door can be… opened and closed to allow a driver to enter the passenger compartment.” If anything, this suggests there may be room for a single one, likely to the driver’s right as in conventional cars. Still, it isn’t entirely clear, as other diagrams leave no room for a passenger.

Between the invention of the self starter and the end of the 20th Century, the best portable car jump starters weren’t something you carried with you. They were heavy lead-acid automotive batteries that only garages and tow truck drivers used. Everyone else carried (and still should) jumper cables, which require two cars and enough knowledge not to short them out. If you had a dead or weak battery and you were on your own, you had to get to a phone or flag down another motorist to have a chance of getting going again.

However, a recent study conducted by AAA sheds light on an important aspect often overlooked by consumers – the repair costs associated with these sophisticated technologies.

As fun and exciting as it is, off-roading does pose inherent risks to a vehicle’s body panels and mechanical wellbeing alike. The method to help prevent this from happening is to add protective armor to the 4x4. This commonly comes in the form of skid plates and steel bumpers, but rock sliders (also known as rock rails) are the best way to help rocker panels and doors from sustaining damage, while helping improve off-road performance in the process.
