The Prius C, finally a not so Prius Prius. Then a normal mini Prius which is pointless.

The EPA uses a MPGe the e being for equivilent. They factor the US average gas price and the US average electric rates and make an oversimplified price equivalent. All electric cars get an MPGe rating also. It just equalizes the price of an e fill up to a g fill up.

No it does not, copper, pvc, brass etc are not subject to the same reaction that steel is. Most utilities are phasing out steel for HDPE or High Density Poly-Ethylene because it is much stronger, lasts longer and its flexible. Additionally the joints on HDPE are "welded" together making a continuous pipe. Welded is in…

Neutral: Why Is Subaru A Success?

It has to be a mid-size because of the Chicken Tax.

In any unit of power transmission or conversion there is two units of measurement needed to fully understand how it works. Amps and volts, CFM and PSI, and finally Torque and HP. In each of these I liken the first unit of measure as the "volume" of power and the second as the "pressure" of power.

Once we get a plane crashing into a train this will all be over.

Toyota didn't start importing autos into the US until the 60's and didn't gain market share until the late 70's. There are still some that run in junk yards that nobody wants to drive simply because they are old. VW had a huge post war market share. The Civic is to the 90's as the Type II is to the 60's.

I agree, I will also never buy another GM vehicle again also. What made me come to that conclusion? Owning one.

I have no problem with the legalization of cannabis but quit telling me its for some injury or to help you sleep or whatever. It has been proven to work for glaucoma, an actual medical need. Everyone else just tell me and the rest of the world you like to get high.

The disc brake refers to the system as the rotor refers to the part of the system, generally speaking. It can be referred to as a disc but so many other things are referred to as discs or disks that it may get confusing.

Because when you use an air pressure assisted braking system you use drums when you have a hydraulic assisted braking system you use discs. Discs are better at stopping bar none but heavy trucking uses air pressure for many functions and it's storable. Drums because of their design can use air pressure to actuate,…

Your reasoning is wrong, drums are not better at stopping. Large trucks have drum brakes because there is no way to have air brakes directly actuate disc brakes. The only way is to have an air over hydraulic system. Drum brakes are acceptable when you are using a system that applies 100 psi of force to your braking…

Sir, you drive a gas/inertia hybrid and don't let anyone tell you differently.

Sorry, as soon as you said "pamper" the post lost any further Man Cred.

The slow carb diet is awesome for anyone that wants a ton of energy and be able to lose weight steadily. 1-2 lbs per week and you will feel full.

Lets face it most of Toyota's clientele are older, even many elderly people. Living in South Florida I know that old people make the mistake of which pedal is which all the time.

I always said if you put fender flares on a Pontiac Vibe it would be a good dune buggy.

Racing applications or motorcycles. It has a very high boiling point.

Can you research Loud Hailers or PA systems next? I'd really like to have a one sided conversation with people in traffic.
