Foresters seem like SUVs. They are stretched up.

Is that still a thing? Or only on the turbo cars?

I have never met anyone IRL who had the blown HG problem, and most I’ve read about involved turbo models. I live where 1/5 of all cars seem to be Subarus.

My wife bought an Outback when we lived in Los Angeles. I think it secretly whispered in our ears to move to the Northwest, where it would be home. And now we live in Washington where every road in our area looks straight out of Subaru commercial.

You people with your Euromobiles.

I think if they’re getting better highway mileage, it has to do with gear ratios. Someone else mentioned that if they have the hybrid system set up right, electric torque boost might kick in to prevent downshifts. The highway cycle in EPA testing has slowdowns and accelerations in the profile, so it’s also likely the…

No. I want to know who sponsors ALL research, because money contaminates results. On something like this, if it’s a government paid studied, I’m likely to think it’s more legit. You can’t trust any free market research anymore.

Also, I paper dry and finish air dry. So if it’s true, I’m adding less to the problem.

Also…

Most Americans who completely believe in climate change, don’t realize it’s 10 years too late to stop climate change through reduction of CO2 alone, anyway.

With all the CO2 reduction in the next 20 years, people will just see things get worse until we get ambitious about geoengineering and solar radiation…

Big cannons seems largely in character with attempting to turn the clock back on everything else.

I don’t think a weapon like this is designed for peer warfare. It’s an asymmetric warfare weapon to be used where an enemy can’t fight back at a distance.

I really think researchers should be wearing sponsor patches of who paid for their research.

This sounds like research financed by a paper consortium.

And the main problem, is people who wet their hands down but don’t wash them. These people were raised by wolves and should be shamed until they wash their hands…

Mass transit went from a real estate incentive to a necessary public good. It isn’t even practical to consider fixed light rail before auto traffic is irredeemably screwed up by density.

The question here: do you allocate an irreplaceable public asset of transportation space beneath a large city for only executive…

It’s probably best for work trucks in urban-suburban areas, not farmers hauling cattle to a distribution center.

Brand loyalty is kind of a suckers game. No reason to be loyal to Ford if they stopped making what you want. I liked GM, but they didn’t bring the Astra VXR hot hatch to the US. So I bought a Focus ST. I like it, but Ford won’t be making hatchbacks anymore. So I’m moving on.

Brand loyalty is kind of a capitalist fake…

Declining sales: potential harbinger for long overdue recession.

Aren’t Ford’s CUVs based on cars? So the Fiesta survives as the Ecosport, the Focus as the Escape, etc? What about the Focus RS? That’s arguably a CUV :)

I’ve got a Focus ST. It most likely won’t be replaced by another Ford, though I love the car even…

It might be an illustion, but it sure is the sort of thing you’d be looking for if you were looking for something moving faster than light.

Why are we measuring neutronium with Imperial units? Shouldn’t we say “10 milliliters weighs 20,000 tonnes. For you unscientific American and British types, that’s 2 teaspoons”?

This is why. And batteries are only getting lighter, more powerful and cheaper. Tesla’s engines have two moving parts, the Ford engine has at least 116 moving parts. Plus the extra transmission parts, supercharger, etc.

That Tesla is 1100 pounds heavier. 

Most car batteries are made up of little 3.7 volt 18650 batteries. So are e-bike batteries. They’re around 3 x 3/4 of an inch and cylindrical. And they wire them together to make massive batteries.

Ford just has to find places to stuff them. It can be where the gas tank used to be. Plus the floor of the car. Plus the…

The call to action is geo-engineering.

If we stopped using fossil fuels today, the progression of climate change will occur for another 50 years. Each year we wait, adds another half year to that number, though that added number will decline over the next few decades as fossil fuel alternatives fit into more economic…
