They were going to release a regular diesel, but their R&D department spent all the money on a new Rotary Diesel. It will act like a micro-generator that will charge capacitors, which in turn will power electric motors. Because Mazda.

Great now Lamborghini is making 4 cylinder hybrid SUVs.

No, no he doesn’t. He merely has to file a warrant with a Judge using the photo as probable cause. Failure to do this in the light of multiple potential charges is just pure laziness on the part of the officer who stated this.

Not a libel offence, furthermore there are pretty strong laws protecting drug manufacturers and doctors from unknown contraindicators. I rarely take meds and it was only due to a horrible allergy season which caused me to think I had an illness, resulting in me seeing a doctor that I ended up with ‘prescription’…

Not excusing his actions, but I once took a prescription allergy medication, which did not have any warnings about operating heavy machinery, that caused me to black out. I have no recollection of at least 3 hours, however according to people I was still ‘working’. I kind of remember coming out of a fugue at my desk,…

I nearly had a brown moment, pulling out of a gas station across two lanes of traffic with, what I thought was plenty of space, and the transmission just started lurching and bucking. I backed out of the throttle and tried to gently feed gas in watching as a logging truck that once was a dot on the horizon was now…

4th Gear: I hold car reviewers partly responsible. It wasn’t until I rented a Focus and had the damn thing lurching and stalling like a high schooler learning to drive stick that I was aware how bad the Focus transmission was. I had read tons of reviews about how great the Focus was, nothing about it’s transmission…

Mr. Thumbs there just can’t stop himself from pushing his thumb into the frame every time a camera focuses near him.

While I think the idea of trying to filter the buying pool for the GT was fine, Ford went about it moronically. They put a heavy focus on “social media influencers”, then released a track car. If the GT was like the prior version i.e. designed to be driven on the street and could be taken on the track... that would…

Someone needs to make a video of this stat. I will start combing through footage, but I know there are people with actual video compositing talent that will be able to do this better than me.

I would hope they would build a separate rail network for a TGV style or any high-speed rail setup. It would be a huge infrastructure expense, something our government used to be good at.

If they could bring TGV levels of performance 324mph or 290-300 average that would bring LA-NYC to a more reasonable 8-9 hours. I would gladly add 4 hours to a LA-NYC trip, at this point you add a minimum of 2 hours to any flight and usually end up with 4-6 hours extra with delays.

I do have to wonder a bit about the owner a two door, two seat coupe with a champagne bottle that pops up between the seats. At least he has retractable brief cases on either side of the car, so he can keep his drink driving business like.

I looked at these when I was hunting for a hot hatch and like you said the acceleration was shockingly bad and during the test drive I had exactly that semi-scenario and ended up braking because I couldn’t get up enough speed, which was disappointing because I liked the car overall.

This interesting, it doesn’t reflect personal observations of coastal American people I know. I know more women with multiple concurrent partners than men. Women are a lot more reluctant to talk about it than men. There are, of course, outliers within the group of people I know, but generally women lead men in number…

There is a reason, why they are the “usual suspect”. Availability of parts for both replacement and upgrades, cost of repair, ease of repair and reliability. As much as I love the above recommendations, if you want to track and not spend a lot of time in the garage and/or online hunting for parts... Miata, Corvette,…

Because he had a public defendant and their go to answer is accept whatever deal the prosecutor is offering. The problem is massive, https://www.themarshallproject.org/2014/12/26/plea-bargaining-and-the-innocent . The prosecutor will use all kinds of scary sounding language and scenarios and unless you have a good…

In 10-15 years Iran might end up our ally. If the US didn’t hate democratically elected governments and constantly topples them in favor of authoritarian ones, Iran would be our ally today. The general populous of Iran is favorable of being allied with the US while the extremist minority, that holds power, is the sole…

I think this way when we are done with Afghanistan and Iraq, we can “come to the sudden realization we attacked the wrong country” and start a war with Saudi Arabia. However, this time they will have weapons which will force us to spend trillions more upgrading our armed forces. It’s a long term strategy.

I live between Seattle and S.F. and driving in Washington or Oregon is just painful. If you drive 65, you will find yourself passing everyone like they are standing still, because people actually follow the posted 60mph limits. Even on I5, the speed limit ranges between 50 and 60, in Oregon they have these bizarre…
