I got the impression that it was like the A Team: If you have a problem, if no other drink can help, and if you can find it....maybe you can buy Rich Energy.

That’s totally what I read it as, anyway.

“I don’t think it’ll ever take off as a means of powering personal transportation in any meaningful capacity.”

Killjoy comments should be suspended.

Perhaps why LFLs are perfect for the otherwise worthless book types listed above - versus truly donatable books.

Maybe this is the problem: there’s a huge difference between donating to a library or Goodwill, versus putting into a little free library or putting in a box on the street with “FREE” written in large, friendly letters on the side. I feel like this advice is only good for the former, not the latter.

I dunno, there are some crazy people (yes, like me) who love to find wildly outdated books in little free libraries. Seems like a Y2K survival guide would actually be perfect - something to pick up on a lark, read, laugh, and pass onto the next weirdo.

Still... Don’t crash.

Don’t crash.

Correct, both points are invalid. Only the statistics quoted above (20% of SUV crashes versus 10% of car crashes) matter.

Negative equity isn’t a problem. You took out a loan and agreed to pay it off. The moment that happened, the extrinsic value of the car became irrelevant. Just keep paying.

Eh, I’d like to buy a brand-new 1991 NSX, but Acura doesn’t offer it. It is a two-way street.

Great, let’s do that. By increasing the difficulty of the driving test so that the least-skilled 33% of drivers fail.

It’s incredibly difficult to extract causation from correlation, so I don’t think that you can make that statement with any degree of certainty. I can tell you that most transportation models do not include vehicle efficiency in trip generation models, although operating cost does play into mode choice (assuming…

We are setting robust and rigorous standards that will aggressively reduce the pollution that is harming people and our planet

Just keep dragging the window thinner and thinner until the responsive design thinks you're on a phone screen :-)

Yet, they are incredibly efficient with their resources compared to local, small batch manufacturers. There’s no one right answer, alas.

Even in Chicago, I know very few people who swap out for winter tires every year. All-seasons work if you’re careful and because we salt the living hell out of our roads.

Agreed. I think it’s an impossible job, but Masi messed it up in about the worst way possible. I’m not sure that he has to go, but this isn’t the first time this season where he seems to have taken the race into his own hands. And I say this as a huge CART/IndyCar fan who watched TGBB ruin the IRL and IndyCar for years…
