I believe it’s a very short throw shifter.

Can I ask where you got your numbers from? My research shows that while trucks make up 5% of all traffic and 10% of all miles driven, heavy on-road vehicles contribute 21% of all transportation related GHGs.

You’d be surprised. I read an article a couple of years back about the head chef of McDonalds and the logistics of the restaurant. The chef mentioned that he had designed an eggplant parmesan sandwich that could be quickly and efficiently cooked and assembled by untrained teenagers in a McDonalds kitchen, but upon…

I don’t know, they’d be competing not only with the Miata but also the Nissan iDX and the Chevrolet Code 130R so it may be hard to break into the small sports car market.

The PJ/Mecha Richter run of Battleblock Theater with dev commentary still makes me crack up whenever I watch it.

I’m surprised those secondary brake lights are to code. In the US, a brake light needs to have 50 cm^2 of illuminated area, and those secondary brake lights look pretty small.

I realize your statement’s facetious, but the high hoods are actually better for kids than adults. When adults are struck by a high hood car, the force of the collision is concentrated around the hip and lower abdomen, leading to increased internal injuries and possible fractures to the hip and spine. When children…

Why would the teleporter require a drain for waste? Setting aside the health implications of instantly voiding ones bowels and bladder, why bother leaving the waste behind in its original state? Surely the waste must be in the pattern buffer before it’s separated so the teleporter could just teleport it somewhere else.…

Regarding the EPA’s statement on the pollution emitted by gliders, see this NEPIS document.

No no no, clearly tariffs that only target the automotive sector aren’t enough, therefore Trump is considering tariffing all the things.

Those are the figures quoted by the EPA when they proposed limits on glider production. The document actually quotes 5000 units polluting as much NOx and PM as 200 000 emission compliant 2014 vehicles.

Just to add, by Jan 1, 2020 all shipping fuel will be low sulfur (no more than 0.5% sulfur by weight, down from the current limit of 3.5%) including low grade bunker fuel. The 2020 rules are also very strict in designated emission control areas so ships will need to have emission control systems added, such as…

The EPA estimates prior to the Obama rule were that about 2% of new truck sales are gliders, but those 2% of trucks pollute as much in a year as the remaining 98% of trucks sold with modern emission equipment. I think that it’s worthwhile to keep those 2700 trucks off the road since they’re emitting as much pollution a…

Holy shit, Python makes cars now!?  When did this happen?

Isn’t it obvious that they’re targeting Musk? Sure he’s an automaker CEO and made one of the most egregious statements possible, but I’m sure that if Mary Barra started calling people the N word on Twitter it wouldn’t make headlines. It’s not as if other CEOs are taken to task based on their public statements.

According to the EPA, gliders make up about 2% of new truck sales each year (so about 5000 trucks annually), but those 2% of new trucks account for nearly 50% of the total emissions for all new trucks sold each year. The Obama rule that Pruitt overturned was attempting to limit sales to 300 units per year.

Does the Senna have some sort of adaptive suspension? It riding much higher than I would expect in that 3/4 profile pic.

Gliders make up 2% of new truck sales yet the EPA estimates that gliders account for half of all new truck emissions. Gliders are indeed a problem, regardless of whether there are larger pollution sources out there.

You know what? I’m completely fine with companies restoring vehicles regardless of how bad they were. How many cars have been lost to history because nobody bothered to keep one running? I wonder if, somewhere out there, somebody’s daily driving the last running example of a bad car and doesn’t even realize it.

It seemed to be the prevailing opinion on the internet at the time. I did see a lot of recommendations for Ninjas as well, but never saw a mention of a Nighthawk (outside of generic suggestions to buy a cheap, used bike because you were going to lay it down soon anyway). In the end I never went for my license…
