Yeah. I don’t pay too much attention to the specific game, only that I know they exist.

well you get what you pay for. You could just buy these X-wing game miniatures. They are NOT cheap but damn they look good. Also some of them are not exactly miniature. The Super Star Destroyer is about 2 feet long!

I still lament the Cadillac Cien (2002 concept) and the XV-12 engine they built but NEVER even put in the Escalade.

Or chase faster contemporaries. I am still flabbergasted that NO ONE is actually trying to emulate Koenigsegg, particularly the Regera and its “why didn’t anyone do this before?” drivetrain.

Their ass-backwards marketing notwithstanding (I agree), GM is a business and that “High profit crap” is what businesses are supposed to push.

The Corvair was killed by bad press caused by a Canadian Comedian crashing a Corvair (the almost humorous alliteration not intended) , when he was at least buzzed and driving dangerous to begin with. Then Ralph Nader who reported this and tried to make a career out of a car you actually had to try to crash was set…

You are shopping for a used car and “HEY! Used Tesla! It got options I want! I take! I give you my money!” And then a few days later, Tesla deactivates the features that made you say yes to the car in the first place. Unless you are absolutely dead set on owning a Tesla, that sort of thing is going to lead to a…

The title alone shows an unthinking bias toward BEVs ignoring that fact that Aston Martin will develop Hybrids, HEVs, or Plug-in Hybrids, PHEVs, to make better use of the platforms they have at this time, to earn and save money for the longer term effort to develop proper BEVs.

And hopefully these will be shipped to the US or adopted by say GM.

“Final Destination”

Yoda’s mastery of the force allowed him to stay vibrant and spire, until he lost much of his will to live. It wasn’t until he got the ping on Luke that he was able to pull himself back together enough to train him, only to let it go once he was reasonably confident Luke knew enough to learn on his own. It was not…

Since I have not taken all the time to reread the tweeter fight they had, I will say this, they were where having a typical internet “bitch fight”. I doubt you have EVER had such dealings face-to-face, forget in the anonymity of the internet. After all, the insults hurled during such “smack fights” can get well beyond…

What? That I would not dignify a slander by repeating it? So what did you get from lengthy statement? That some people just are not so crude as you of your false god? This given as I KNOW it is not a court of law where Such precise recollection would be required, but (GASP!) on the internet, Not. So. Much.

First, Bloody Jinja keeps f’ing with their code and it tanks the performance of the site and nixes some function like loading up and highlighting comments and comment replies. It should be fine in a few days, but this should not be happening. Totally dying on Firefox and stumbling badly on Chrome. Even the spele check…

Aside from a mid-hybrid system, if at all, I would rather no have a hybrid system in the car. I think such a fully-loaded car would be an Acura.

The S2000 is a car Honda got right the first time, engine notwithstanding. But Dropping in the CTR’s engine and some new body work, and the obligatory refinements to the chassis and new tech, and for about $40K I can see this being a thing again.

The best Star Trek toys came from Playmates. Best sculpts, best articulation, best build quality (you did not mind five year olds playing with them). You could collect them or let your kids play with them and they were not easily destroyed.

You may be addressing the wrong person here. I believe I was reasonably clear I was not talking about aircraft autopilot, but Tesla’s “auto-pilot”. I know someone further in was talking about aircraft autopilot how ever.

Most ADAS systems do lane keeping, adaptive cruise control, automated emergency braking, and so on, already and don’t have misleading names or an overhyped idea-man that way too many people believe way too much.

It’s “Cruise Control” all over again. When that first came out, and I know there are still those who think this, Cruise control was supposed to drive for you, not just maintain cruise speed. If Musk is going to try to ride out this  wave of stupid, it is going to be a VERY long wait.
