I'm sorry, but no. A new rider might have well have gotten spooked by the behavior of the bike with a passenger, but the passenger did not prevent the rider from making the turn. A passenger leaning the wrong way is only a problem when you run out of traction of lean angle, otherwise you just countersteer further to…

Look it up, the whole idea was to use the exhaust of a rocket engine to run a turbine. At first, they used this setup to turn a supercharger. Second product used the turbine to turn the wheels thru the differential, and the third product just used a rocket to power a small go car conventionally, at least from a rocket…

That makes it sound like the rocket propelled the car by thrust alone, rather than using a rocket engine to turn a turbine that in turn drove the rear wheels (connecting to the conventional drivetrain via the differential. It added about 1000hp to the car, so it wasn't anything to sneer at.

Forgive me for stating the obvious, but doesn't the engine tell you when to change gears by vibrating? If it screams and shakes the whole car, its time to shift up, if it lugs its time to shift down. It's not exactly the optimal shift points, but in my experience the difficulty with learning to shift is knowing when…

I'm amazed how little wheels turn when the driver turns the wheel 90 degrees. Maybe I've been reading too much mclaren f1 propaganda, but I thought race cars had low steering ratios..

Yes, dual clutch transmissions can think and shift much faster than you can. That does not mean that they can shift better. As a driver, you know what it is you want to do, while the car has to make guesses based on very limited information. Do you want the next shift to be fast and abrupt, or do you want it slow and…

Electricity, in its ultimate wisdom is seeking the shortest path to ground. When the whole ground is soaked in rain water, its too much of a bother to go poking around human bodies.

Ahem...

The only thing that can be gleamed from a number of patents a company gets is how many IP lawyers it has on its staff. There is a great deal of innovation that isn't patented or patentable, not to mention all the patents that aren't innovation. Slide to unlock anyone?

Funny, when I test drove the 3, my least favorite part was the shifter. It felt like the pivot point was somewhere far below the pavement.

Well then kindly take risks with your own money. There is something seriously wrong with taking a risk with money from unwilling participants in the hope that it may benefit them.

If you are trying to imply that Kyle cannot pass judgement on Danica's racing until he bested her racing accomplishments, does that mean that you cannot pass judgment on Kyles comment until you best his? How many NASCAR races have you been in?

Which car would you say is comparable to this one in terms of acceleration, or handling? Obviously a fuel sipper is not going to be fast, but just how slow is it? Can it give an Aveo a run for its money?

As far as I know, no car uses a clutch by wire system. Not only does a manual transmission protect you from getting car jacked, it also stop homicidal spooks and members of Nigerian royalty. Is there anything a stick shift can't do?

Well lets see which ones I've heard over the years.

In all the times I filled my car with gas, I never had to worry about proper torque specs on any bolt.

Too bad a Jeep can't do that

Why not just shoot or jail anyone that does not own an electric car?

You know, tesla's several drag videos has caused me to loose a great deal of respect for the company. It's not the I doubt that the car is fast, it obviously is, and its exceptionally fast for a 4 door sedan. It's that the videos always seems to involve some guy on some road, the viper video is better, but it is still…
