"Cock of the Wock" sounds like a typo in on of those "Chef's Special" dishes nobody orders from a Chinese restaurant menu.

I seriously doubt anything can compare to the level of safety in commercial flight (miles traveled would make it a joke, but I would be surprised if even hours of travel/death could be remotely comparable). Planes are so marginally designed, due to the requirements on cost and efficiency, that the level of scrutiny…
I'll take the Pontiac in the back, please.
Tesla Model S
Terrorists love to take credit for stuff. If this had been a terrorist act don't you think they'd have been shouting it from the rooftops in 1996?
Just like Toyota had a run-a-way success with their Hybrid Synergy Drive and started licensing their tech to other automakers. If Tesla perfects this system and continues to create demand for their vehicles, other automakers will come knocking pen in hand ready to sign a licensing deal. There's you're…
We laugh now....but there's lots of people that would read that and go..."yeah, that sounds about right"
That really puts all the work done to the subways in the early 20th century into perspective. Sure it looks crazy today, but imagine making all those subways with equipment from the 1930s. Staten island was still a farm back then, and it was possible to have 15 acre plots off of Soho. And yet there they were using…

"William-nilliam" It is that sort of stuff that I find entertaining and keeps me reading. The little stuff.
Possible US/ECE harmonization? Or at least US honoring the ECE standards.
The limo prep package air springs have a considerably higher rate, and have extra steel belts inside them. They're readily identifiable by their aluminum "piston," while normal, "soft" springs have a beige plastic piston and the intermediate, "performance" springs (on Touring Town Cars and HPP Vics and Grand Marquis)…
You put a Toyobaru in the middle of the room and have your engineers sit in a circle around it. Then you make your car better.
Jaguar Land Rover North America CEO Andy Goss explains to Automotive News that it's an issue of awareness and of reputation for poor quality he says are undeserved. We like his answer, though, for how to fix it:
Historically the driver of a chariot stood on the right side, enabling him to better whip his horses (and those on foot) without disturbing the passenger. In the early days of automotive development, designers of automobiles in nations under monarchy or empire typically followed this tradition with a driver on the…
People assume that the 'V' in a V-6 or V-8 is because of the arrangement's similarity to the shape of the letter, but it was actually so named because it was invented by Victor Vandorn, a young german immigrant to Britain, who sold his design to Rolls Royce in order to provide their "sufficient" power in a quiet and…
Henry Ford's assembly line was actually powered by a herd of horses on tredmills under the main plant floor. Most of the horses were Mustangs, and as a tribute to the thousands of horses that were responsible for the Model T, the company used that name for that iconic 1964.5 sports car.
Was it a typo for trash.net ? Seems appropriate...
Only way I see the Karma becoming a sales machine is cutting the electric drive train and making it a mild hybrid. That way it gets the go to match its looks and Ford can put its hybrid system in a sporty configuration and make some heads turn.
