It’s cost. The Napier Nomad Diesel was a 4100 HP AIRCRAFT engine that put out 1 HP/lb with a CVT between the piston and exhaust turbne sections, so weight wasn’t issue. Size wasn’t either, since they were able to wrap an aircraft around it. Most truck buyers have a smaller budget than the Ministry of Defense,

Truck have devices that release fuel from their fuel tank to keep the tanks from exploding and getting REALLY exciting.

The fuel cells are in the belly. Worse than a 70s Pinto.

It takes a bayonet, FTW

Your GPS does not share your location over the phone.

His dad and several preachers laid hands on him and annointed him with oil, but couldn’t a match to light.

Wales is not vowel deficient. It turns consonants into vowels so it has more vowels than English. A, E, I, O, U, W, and Y. W and Y are always vowels in Welsh.

Just as long as your body flying through the windshied doesn’t strike and injure someone.

Mine, too. She was married to him. He delivered in our neighborhood and would pick me up during the summers to ride back to the dairy. I was fascinated by the steam bottle washing/filling machine.

Actually, many of there panels are laser-cut. The aluminum fenders/wings on the four-wheeler are super-formed by a subcontractor in nearby Worcester. OTOH, much of the fitting and assembly is done while the car is atop two wooden saw-horses. (I’ve done the factory tour.)
