I’ve seen my same paramotor with a wing selling for about $5,000 used lately. That makes for a ridiculously cheap flying machine. As a pilot I trained myself but with some basic lessons you would be able to pick it up quite quickly. These things are so simple to fly and maintain.

Check it out, that’s me.

I talked to those guys and looked at putting down a deposit on one but they never really finished test flying it. They insisted on electric power which is too heavy for such high wing loading. It’s a great idea but they need to stick with the high power of a 2 stroke gas engine.

For easy flying, I fly a powered paraglider, ie paramotor which is an ulralight that does not require a license. Mine actually fits in the back of my pickup. :)

Who’s the tool?

I love Bonnies for being fun and comfortable standards. Is Beckham riding the new one here?

If you’re a looking at Abarths, go for a hard top or convertible for additional head room.

Too bad Toyota doesn’t have a US engine like this:

The interest rate on a new car might be worth getting rather than used. It’s amazing how cheap a $16K car can be with minimal interest payments, good fuel mileage, and no repairs.

168 HP in my Abarth is perfect for a small car.

FYI Jason, dampened flywheels have been fairly standard for the last 10 years or so for gas manual four cylinder vehicles. For diesel passenger cars they have been common place much much longer via VW/Mercedes.

I think the plug-in hybrid just adds to that and gives you up to 400 HP.

Is it the cool Hybrid version? I never thought I would say that.

Driving to work one morning in my new at the time Camaro, there was a Black Jetta that was tailgating me through traffic. Tailgaters don’t bother me too much and I just figured that he was probably late for work. This was on the freeway. As I did every morning I was looking forward to a long sweeping interchange…

Dodge Sweptline, anybody else see it?

The whole thing?

Just a steering rack there, me thinks.

Inboard white walls, really? Turn those suckers out!
