My sincerest apologies, good man. Permit me to rectify that.

Even solar power is dirty. Making panels themselves isn't a clean business. The silicon must be refined to extremely high purity. 99.9999999992 percent. Yes, that's 11 nines. The refined product is broken into chunks and thrown into furnaces. Giant foundries grow the massive silicon crystals in blast furnaces

I'm semi-offgrid. 90% of my electrical needs are met by a very large 8kw solar panel array (I do have grid tie-in), with well water and a septic leech field. This has given me a bit of a different outlook on energy/resource consumption. Plug-in hybrids are not the end-game answer. Transitional, perhaps. You don't

The truck that the KW is passing is really looks like a Cascadia to me. Could be a Sterling I guess...

Race you downhill, looser buys the Domashnaya and Bread for lunch!

I swear, old American semi trucks are sent to Russia to die. The front truck looks to be a Freightliner Cascadia, and the rear looks like a Kenworth T600.

Probably a wrap. Just start pulling the big sticker off, and go over it with some goo-gone and a nice cleaning.

I hate the heavy argument. The second generation CTS-V weighs the same/more than the Challenger 392. The 2011 challenger 392 is around 4200 lb, the 2011 CTS-V is 4250. Options vary, but they are quite close in the weight department.

Its available both from certain insurance companies, and from lenders. You need to check your insurer and your loan officer to see who offers a better price over the time period you will be upside down on the car.

Nissan Cube. I just cant get over the wonky asymmetrical left and right sides. The headliner was supposed to look like ripples in water. It honestly just looks like a manufacturing mistake.

The interest free offers aren't free. Most of them offer cash back OR 0%. Or its built into the cost of the car, and is interest free only if you qualify to use a finance company that the dealer or the manufacturer is in bed with.

If you use dealer financing, or your own really, you need to ask about Gap coverage on new cars. It may be a 300-700 dollar option based on how much you finance, but you will most likely be upside down on the car (financially) as soon as you drive off the lot. If this is the case, you may be deeply, deeply screwed

Its not about macho. I very much enjoy my cars. I enjoy driving, its my hobby. I also vaguely enjoyed the article. Though I am not a fan of your style, that's more personal preference than anything really negative on your behalf.

Lots of people say its 'gay' to drive a Prius. I'd like to think gay people have more taste than that. Most of my gay/lesbian employees (yes, I know of 6 who are open about it) seem like the older Jeep Cherokees (NOT Grand Cherokees) and Subarus.

Makes for 120hp/ton. Plus, electric motors make much of their torque at 0 RPM/stalled. I played with this motor quite a bit, and the torque is comical. When I advanced it as far as it could (and still run) I was getting 180ftlbs of torque from it. Granted, the motors water cooling couldn't handle that for more

I would swap it out with a 20kw brushless motor. I know a Chinese OEM who makes a 10kw with 20kw burst that only clocks in at 30lbs. They even make a half decent controller for it that has regenerative braking. They also build an adapter to allow it to mount to a small Dana rear axle for use in Electric MPVs.

My SVT Terminator. I posted (before the 6.0 revision) the supercharger tensioner replacement job. I let it idle for about 60 seconds after repairing it, and I notice a whistling noise coming from the engine compartment. Poking around, I find it is coming from the supercharger coolant bottle. I open the bottle and

I would argue against doing tire rotation yourself. Ignoring staggered fitment cars, and cars with unidirectional tires (in my case, several of my vehicles are both). If your tires need rotation (about 6k miles) then they should probably be balanced too. Turning left, right, hitting potholes, alignment issues, and

Not only can it legally not be his firearm, he also legally cannot be in 'possession' of it. Looks like hes in 'possession' of it there. If it is a functional firearm (as opposed to a 'prop' firearm) then he should be in deep shit.

Longer is Better! I also didn't realize I replied to you on two different posts, my apologies.
