I’ll be picking up my C-Max Energi next weekend. Only 12 km from my driveway to work, but it’s a 30 minute drive vs a 70 minute trip by bus and subway. The C-Max has about a 35 km electric range so I shouldn’t need to burn much gas at all, and I’m lucky enough to own a house with a single car driveway close to an…

Good idea! I’d imagine a pair of headless dogs or goats staring through the firewall would generate some power, and then you wouldn’t have to worry about the logistics of laying a wight down. Just connect their front and rear pedals to a common shaft via belts and then reverse the direction by using a simple crossed…
I wonder whether the wight needs to be standing or if they can be laid down and still provide appropriate motion through the crankshaft. If they could be laid down, you would only need a box about 3 ft long and a foot or 2 high (not much bigger than a Model A hood) which could provide better weight distribution,…
I’m pretty sure those are manufacturer chassis codes rather than VIN segments. For example, everybody knows what I’m talking about when I say a BMW E46, but the actual VIN would be more like WBAEV13293F######
If so, what’s the purpose of the NCDC’s NLRB complaint? What law is being broken when individual dealerships sign blanket contracts that apply to their employees, regardless of who’s negotiating the contract?
From one of the prior articles, it sounds like some of these dealerships don’t even recognize the union even though their employees voted one in.
According to this article from Propublica, since 1989 there have been 8 rare storms that hit Houston. Five were ‘1 in 100' storms and three were even rarer than that.
Does it beep every time a car enters her blind spot? I had a rental X5 and I seem to remember that it only beeped and rumbled the steering wheel if I hit the blinker when it thought a car was too close (but I was driving in a congested city, so that just meant the steering wheel rumbled every time I changed lanes).
Scroll down and watch the video.
On the flip-side, blocking traffic for ‘reasons’ is also quite impolite. If this was a vigil being held in a quiet park where people shared memories of the deceased, then somebody driving by honking and waving a middle finger is being a dick. However, these people were remembering the deceased by yelling angry chants…
I suspect that the charging just didn’t coincide with a politician’s use case. Most politicians seem to have very full appointment books, so he’s likely driving somewhere for a 30 minute meeting, then directly somewhere else for a 1 hour meeting, then to a new building for a 15 minute ribbon cutting ceremony, etc. If…
I’m surprised they’re including Forza 5 instead of 6. 6 is a much better game and 7's releasing at the end of September, so I would think putting their best foot forward would make it more likely that people would buy 7 if they wanted better graphics and full multiplayer lobbies.
I agree that the Journey is a horrible vehicle, but I suspect it’s the cheapest 7 passenger vehicle on the market and it’s not a minivan. I just looked up the price and even I was surprised how cheap it was, so in a market where everybody thinks they need as much seating as possible and SUVs are cooler than minivans,…
After watching that video, all I can ask is, was the pilot of the Guang Zhou Wan drunk? If you back the video up to the start instead of just before the collision, this huge ship is just weaving back and forth across the strait. It looks like he cuts off the Long Hu San, only notices at the last minute that the…
Just went up at 1 PM EST on BB Canada. I managed to get one into my cart as soon as they were available but they were sold out before I could enter my CC expiry date. GG Nintendo.
The Jeep Jinx strikes again.
If the entity that owned the IP filed for bankruptcy, the IP should have been listed as an asset and either been transferred to a debt holder or auctioned off and the assets divided between the debt holders. If he tries to earn any money off of the IP, chances are the debt holders will file a lawsuit demanding any…
All I want to do is choose a car, choose some options, get a fair price, and write a cheque. Why does a dealership need salespeople when a PoS terminal would suffice! I can understand having finance people on-hand to deal with financing, but do I really need to sit in an office while the only guy who’s allowed to fill…
