Sorry to tell but electric charging isn’t actually a “shitshow”. A real shitshow would be every car having a different plug and voltage requirements. The actually case is that there are three kinds of fast-charging plugs and only the Tesla is proprietary. In fact, all EVs can be be slow-charged from household 110v…

Mainland China is a great place for big group dining. I was with a group large enough to get a private room at a nice restaurant where we had unlimited sushi & cocktails for (I think) about $30 USD each. Normally all you can eat places factor in slow service and overpriced drinks to keep their margins up, but this…

Which color(s) do you have in your garage?

I bet the unusual distribution of large families throws off the statistical significance. My assumption is that families with more than four kids are far less likely to be in cities. The housing supply for anything with more than 3 bedrooms in a major city has got to very low, making the cost very high. I don’t think…

These three rules work for the airport and traveling in general:

35 is not “almost 40"...said the guy born in 1979 who’s also not almost 40 either.

Air conditioned seats should be standard every for convertible C7 sold in Florida. Nobody likes swamp butt.

They could make a comeback with electric cars. The lack of transmission tunnel means loads of space upfront like in the Tesa Model S. BMW even pitches the flat-profile of the i3 seats as a feature so that the driver can easily scoot over and exit curb-side to avoid traffic.

I like the central 4K monitor flanked by the two portrait monitors for the wrap-around effect. My OCD kicked in when I noticed that side monitors are center-aligned to the central monitor versus aligned to the top or bottom. The cursor would get stuck in those top and bottom corners.

Nothing is worse than WMATA™. This happened 24 hours before the announced safety overhaul that will snarl traffic and generally piss off a couple million commuters and tourists for the rest of 2016.

It’s easy to ignore the stares and grumbles with noise-canceling headphones on while sipping a pre-flight G&T and munching on fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies. The luggage head bumps are still annoying though.

Exactly. Reminder at check-in before security to encourage people to check oversized bags. (I don’t think I’ve ever actually seen someone use the measurement cage to make sure that their bag fits). Then strict enforcement while boarding for mandatory gate-check for offenders.

It’s like an Angry Birds/Transformer crossover . That diffuser looks like a proper cop mustache.

Audi S4 - Over 300hp, 0-60 under 5 seconds, and room for two car seats (or adults) in the back plus luggage room to spare. Nice enough to valet without screaming “luxury”.

If it’s a mult-use trail then I say go for it. As others have said, there’s the possibility the person has a mobility issue and that the Segway lets them get out to enjoy the outdoors. Would you be giving the same stink eye to someone who’s riding of $7000 mountain bike on the trail? Both are overpriced and…

Serves you right for reading your Kindle while driving. Seriously though, just keep an Nokia button-phone in the center console to hand over.

So the price is actually $167 each when you buy the 3-pack and $175 each for the 2-pack. There doesn’t seem to be a single router for $500.

The next logical step is rows and rows of VR goggles with motion chairs/pods. Drive a race car at Laguna Seca, fly a jet through the Grand Canyon, hang glide over Mt Everest. I'd do that for a couple of hours on a cruise in-between port calls.

No, it’s meant to comply with emission restriction zones in European cities. Use gas in the country and suburbs then switch to all-electric in the city without paying congestion fee or where burning gas/diesel is banned outright.

It’s frustrating that there’s so much entitlement projected by a vocal few with allergies or parents of kids with allergies. I’m allergic to some nuts and I don’t expect everyone to remember or bend over backwards to accommodate me. I’ll politely ask if a dish has nuts or take an epi-pen if I’m traveling just in case.…
