Agreed. If I had one I would probably remove the rear seat anyway if its already not a jump seat. No one will want to ride back there, unable to see where you are going and unable to talk to the driver. Use that space for storage or grocery carrying capacity. For those who gripe about it not transporting more people,…

This would be my work car. A single seater with a little cargo capacity in the rear. Just under the price of a 750cc standard bike.

I would guess that this Armada is the only one, at least on purpose.

Do people really need GPS directions enough to warrant having it constantly in your face? As tonered stated, I think a simple rear view display in the helmet would be more user friendly and simpler/cheaper to do?

I photographed a beautiful pearl white Fisker Karma ES a few years ago for our local dealer, I think they still have it. Amazing to see in person, long and low and slinky but yet still large enough to feel physically imposing. Very nice interior with a really amazing electronic information system. It looks very exotic…

We assure you, from our ivory tower, that the water is safe.

Of course the development of the battery has been expensive, but none of the big automakers are doing that, the battery makers are doing that. I am sure some of that cost is forwarded on as well, but GM has the buying to power to lower the costs of the cells through amortization of development through units purchased.…

The Lithium Ion cell was created for commercial use in 1991, that’s relatively old tech as far as the pace of technology runs today. Certainly the development of the Li-Ion battery has gotten much better in the mean time and they are far newer tech than the electric motor, but its still the application of existing…

I understand completely the idea of removing the chance of a driver being killed, no matter how safe a car is a driver can still die. But will I be able to see a processor drive the car beyond its capabilities? Ala Zanardi passing Herta at Laguna Seca? Like Rossi and Marques banging elbows and bars at the Dutch TT?…

The problem I see... and this comes from a background in mechanical design and manufacturing for the last 30 years, is that the Chevy EV driveline is not new technology (nor is the Tesla). Its an application of existing technology. Yet its priced like it’s new technology. Tesla can get away with it because they are…

My mouth pictures this as waffle cone dough, fried to a nice golden crispiness on the outside, then filled with the meats, veggies and condiments of your choice. Can I please have one with bulgogi and extra sriracha.

There are some things on the business side of Tesla that are not good, but no one can deny the cars they build. It is honestly shameful for every automaker to build the pathetic electric cars they do and then expect anyone to pay $30k for them. Why would anyone buy a Leaf when you can buy a Versa for 1/3rd the price…

I get that Noct. There are always mitigating circumstances to anything. I do believe the testing could be more stringent and more stress placed on the responsibility of it all. Most think its a right.

It never fails to amaze me how many young people I know that cannot pass the driver’s exam on their first or even second tries. The way I see it, you don’t pass, come back in two years and try again, you are too dumb to operate a motor vehicle at this time.
For those who ride a bicycle daily to work, more power and…

You cannot expect much more from someone who defaces a super car with a Jolly Rancher camo wrap. I will say this however, is that horse drawn buggy with one square wheel that he hit? Looks like 8 mph was the top speed here.

I’ll be sure and have my computer tune in.

This makes much more sense as a rail system than a bus. The actual carriage would be more expensive than a conventional metro-train but far less expensive than an elevated track in the city. As big and wide as it is, with all the inherent turning radius problems in a compact city, it makes more sense to keep it…

Great show! Lots of offbeat and rare mixed with rare exotics and oddities.

When the original NSX came out I was a fan, the “practical” supercar that could be daily driven (within reason, of course). The one thing I saw the NSX bring about was a huge philosophical shift at the the two largest competitors of the day. Porsche and Ferrari. The NSX proved that good handling and decent power did…

Paper converting is all about speed. We did constant running upgrades to the equipment to improve speed and quality. The web (12' wide paper being processed) ran 65mph at the plant I worked at. Almost zero margin in toilet paper and paper towels. A change in the market cost of raw pulp or bulk fiber and you can lose a…
