Wouldn’t it be entertaining is some English teacher made that the mandatory book assignment for their class.

Pretty much, though I thought the sedans like mine were available in the EU under the Flavia name as well. The EU brakes are basically the Caliber SRT4 brakes and the only tricky part about the front brakes is the caliper bracket, that was an EU only item and I was able to get from a former dealership parts guy on the…

I’m going to sound like a synical prick here, but when I see things like that, I wonder if they’re trying to push it off until that person dies from what ever happened to them to try and get out from under a settlement.

My Chrysler 200 is a bit like that, it’s a Touring, which is the next set up from rental, so it had the 6 speed auto and 17" alloys as standard with the basic am/fm/cd/satellite head unit as the starting point, but my car had the factory 18" alloys (which was good when I put the EU market front brakes on it in Aug)…

Getting ahead of themselves by having braille on it for blind passengers, once they have fully autonomous cars of course.

This, 110%, I’m not a trained aviator in any scale and dealt with quadrotor helis at the hobby show I used to work at before changing careers. No fucking way to I want to be any where near any of those flying blenders if they ever get sold. I’ve seen the damage and heard the stories if things go wrong in the r/c field…

Well, it happened around 20 years ago, It kinda was then too. Now when I went looking for a hood pre-internet (well, for my easy access, anyway), the only one I found was over $700 at the time, half way across the country and would have cost around $1,000 to ship while I paid less than $3,000 for the whole car a…

I went and did a search, I thought all the CSX-VNTs had the bulged hoods like the prior CSXs and all the Non Shelby turbo and V6 cars did, I’m surprised they didn’t. At least if yours had, it would have been way easier to find a bulged hood for it!

It could have gotten up and run off like the one I hit my my ‘88 Dodge Shadow, fugger broke out the grill, broke the headlight adjuster, then bent the 2 year only turbo bulge hood with the notches in it for the tiny sealed beam headlights it had.

At this point, it almost looks like they’re taking a page from product planning at GM for their full sized vans for the last 50 years.

Funny that this pic has an Avenger and 200 in the middle of it, if those have the 3.6l Pentastar and 6 speed auto, those alone would work, 283hp in a 3600lbs rental car that runs stronger if you feed it E85 without even needing a retune to do so too.

Exactly, plus if you have a car or truck that is more difficult to drive due to mods or just quirks that come with that model or family of vehicles, and they’re as you described, that could be a disaster. With a car like this Tesla, using the gun as another metaphor, that could be like taking somebody who has only…

Of the people I knew and know, there are ones I’d have no problems tossing my keys to and others that I wouldn’t as well as certain vehicles I’d be more or less likely too. The XJ I had, I could probably trust most of the people I’ve known with, my namesake Chrysler 200 and it’s equally torque steer prone predecessor…

Well, if you suspect or worse, know somebody won’t be able to handle the car you’re letting them drive, you might as well be handing someone with no firearm experience or willingness to act safely a loaded gun.  It might be ok, somebody could end up dead.

We are talking about England and not Texas......that is something I’d be more likely expect to happen there.

I used to work for a hobby shop that had a variety of the dolls in life size as well as maybe 5"-6" It always amazed me how real the life sized dolls were, though one of the owners had quite the collection and I’d heard that it felt weird walking past the room in the house she kept them in since some of her family…

Potentially H.S. (horse), G.S. (goat), P.S. (pig), C.S. (chicken), T.S. (turkey), or even F.S. (farmer), though those all might work better for electrical generation instead.

I see the battery problem from the eyes of an r/c hobbiest that has seen batteries go from NiCd packs, to NiMH packs, and now onto LiPo packs with considerable improvements in run times and performance from the early days of the chemistry to where the next chemistry had come to market then kept getting bigger and…

Cor does have the advantage of being a cattle feed stock, even after the the sugar has been harvested from it as well as other materials, not sure if the same can be said about cane or beet sugars.......not to say that multiple sources for the sugars shouldn’t be explored, but corn has more uses than just fuel sugars.

It can still put out roving and production emissions behind what a battery-electric does, plus in many cases the petroleum industry has been trying hard to poison the biofuel well as an alternative to gas and diesel for some time now on top of it.
