Then there’s the downtime (which gets included) of 100 days of servicing or whatever. That counts as lost income because they need another vehicle to cover it. Then there’s all the other maintenance for a 300,000 mile vehicle, which includes overhauling just about everything. Transmission fluid, belts, cost of oil,…

One word: Fuel

Fuel dude. Fuel costs big money

After reading the comments, I feel like I should lay down the logic of a mandatory helmet law. In essence, when you ride without gear, you have a much higher chance of being seriously injured or killed. This higher risk translates to more time and money having to be spent on riders by first responders, doctors,…

Oh snap! I didn’t realize how cheap those were. I think you nailed it!

So, this was the worst thing I’ve ever read, and here: http://www.physlink.com/education/askexperts/ae586.cfm

Ditto

Another way to look at it is that the electric car has far cheaper maintenance/operational costs for its service life. Might actually be the better long term option

Also, is the plastic really so bad? It’s similar to what’s in my Ram, and honestly, it’s fine for day to day living. I don’t rub my face on that stuff, so why does it even matter? If you want a luxury car, get a luxury car

Yes! I have one, so I support this message...even though I’m in Canada

I guess I should have read farther, because I just made the same point. Most cars are crazy quiet now when they’re operating normally.

I just want to say, your average car driving down the road isn’t that loud, and the majority of the noise that you do hear is from the tires themselves (unless it’s a muscle car or someone’s flooring it). I’m all for safety, but the noise regulation may do little to change the fact that many people just don’t pay…

Haha, yeah, it’s amazing driving, but it’s only possible thanks to those good ole physical laws. Even just saying “appears to defy physics” would cancel out the sensationalism.

Old supercar beats new cheap muscle car? There’s a ton of cars you could sub into the GT spot with that criteria. Why not have it face off against a 2005 Veyron. How dare it lose to that old car.

And no punishment for the people involved in the GM ignition switch cover-up that I know of (that actually killed a bunch of people).

David Lee was excellent in all of his appearances on Jay Leno’s Garage. Seems like a genuinely nice and fun guy, which should be the only criteria needed to qualify him for a car. This type of “exclusivity” makes Ferrari the snooty waiter of car companies.

Better stated: 4,990 miles long (or 8,030 kilometers, everywhere except for Myanmar, Liberia, and the good ole U.S. of A)

Not just a sweet jump, but also possibly the best “Daaaaaayuuuuuummmm” I’ve ever heard in a video.

I had family talk with Subaru about whether the warranty on an STI would be upheld if they took it rally racing, and apparently they had no problems with that (for the drive train anyway)! Maybe that was just the particular dealer, but it still makes the Vancouver place in question look all the more terrible.

People always act like Musk was somehow a bad guy, or a fool, for staying on the council, but it’s unbelievably important to keep opposing viewpoints within earshot of a president. Otherwise, the White House just becomes an echo chamber (even more so than usual). Everyone should be applauding Musk for holding out as…
