Except it doesn’t.

Cranking that last line down to common speech;
It blows peoples minds the first time they realize that moving air has *inertia*... air has weight, just like water does.

*sigh* This is a political decision like my breakfast choice is. It’s an opportunistic move based on economic reality. Colt’s teetered on the edge of existence as a company for multiple decades, their product is good but not good enough at their pricing level to fight off market saturation and, frankly, the better…

1 - enameled steel camping mug from wallyworld or anywhere
2 - Remove handle, and deburr handle attachment points
3 - using quality double-sided tape, attach to any handy flat surface.

This is what I’ve done in my Sonoma, which has this pathetic little indentation of a ‘cupholder’ inboard of the gear shift lever. That…

ergo, TLDR, operator error.

Lyrics by Zaphod Beeblebrox.

It’s better than the rest.

... good lord. MEH PP.

Perhaps the author fumbled. Actually, that’s not a ‘perhaps’.

CO is not CO2. That’s the problem above...

Or teaching the author that carbon dioxide isn’t carbon monoxide.

Or someone rehashed a part of an article and flubbed the chemistry.

And none of that changes the incorrect assertion.

Someone else dug up that it’s CO, carbon MONOXIDE at 11x the rate of the passenger car per unit of fuel, not CO2, which *per unit of fuel* at stochiometric combustion should be nearly identical.

If that’s in the report it’s bad science, if it’s just in this article then it’s a misunderstanding of the report.

“And motorcycles emitted 11 times more carbon dioxide [...] than the average gasoline passenger car on a per-kilogram of fuel consumed basis...”

Alright, I give. What the fuck are the cars doing with the same amount of gasoline burned within the stochiometric range to emit that much less CO2 per unit weight of fuel…

Thank you, Captain Obvious.

“If we gave it bigger brakes, we’d need bigger tires...”

Wheel chonks.

You’ve seen more of them than you know... they’re invisible. It’s like Chrysler made a Dodge Silence, you see it and immediately forget when it’s gone.

I’ve never even had it happen to me, but I don’t turn my wheels until I’m actually moving... wheels stay pointed in a direction I can safely “go” should I get punted by a rogue twit.

The one time I totalled a car, there was a spill on the interstate on a rainy day and I fought with that damned car for 100-150 yards at 55mph trying not to yaw off or spin and ultimately failed, nailing the center divider.

Once under control... pointed outwards and in the middle of the road, I proceeded to floor it…
