Yes. It's been a long day.

Last I heard superconductors had 1/10th the energy density of Li-Ion, which has 1/3 the density of gasoline. If that's still true the new fangeled body panels will not store much (their comparison sound impressive, but are very hard to compare.) Also, do they shock you if you scratch them?

Hey, Raphael, completely unrelated, but while watching yet another russian dash cam video, I thought a great qotd would be what kind of car you would use if you had to commute in russia.

If every person you meet is afraid of getting shot for so much as thinking of you without being filled with a sense of worship, you can go a very long time without realizing that people that you do not meet might have other opinions.

Funny, I don't care for the auto wipers in my 3 series. There is a certain shade of overcast, that only happens in the morning, that confused the crap out of the camera sensor and makes them go completely bonkers. The rest of the time they are ok, except for the whole "lets put the indicator light where you cannot…

I strongly suspect that the act of coming on puts more wear on the lights than staying on, as is the case with most electronic or mechanical systems. So it annoys me that my lights come on right as I pull into my driveway and turn the engine off. The literally come on for less than a second, every day. Because of…

Someone who cared about driving wouldn't be in the market for the convertible.

This is somewhat car specific, but BMW 3 series (and perhaps others) has this feature where it snugs the brake pads close to the rotors when you take your foot of the gas quickly, anticipating that you might be about to panic brake. That sounds like a good idea, but I, at least, trigger the system on a regular basis…

An LCD display instead of a conventional instrument cluster. Computerized displays have one big advantage, they are versatile, in that they can display anything. They pay the price in being more expensive, and less reliable. If you have a display in the instrument cluster that spends its entire time showing a speed…

The could have driven up the concrete barrier and flipped over. But it looks like there was another car involved

Yes

While I see your point, it is not the only way to look at this situation.

Sure they seem cheap now, but wait till PD's put all the options they want on them and the price will be much higher. Setting aside the initial purchase costs, I don't see where the costs savings are going to come from. Sure, you don't need gas or oil changes, but the existing bikes are pretty economical already. I…

Sure, if you only count the first stage. If you count the overall trip to the moon and back, it comes out close to 1mpg, which is not at all bad.

I'm confused, with whom does the government mess for no reason, the majority whom you say are meth-head drug operators, or the sword wielding, window licking minority?

Why? I only ever done 2, one on a beetle and another on a chevy pickup (the parking brake is on drums) but it was really simple and easy. I guess the hardest part was the double nuts on a beetle that kept the wheel bearings from binding.

Once again we see that the main thing that separates the cops for the gangs is the color of their perspective uniforms.

Are you saying that major metropolises cannot be successful without a successful system of public transportation? This will come as somewhat of a surprise to most of the south.

I can't help buy think that if it was such a great idea to wire all new homes for EV's, they wouldn't have to force people to do it. After all, there are no regulation mandating the consumption of bacon.
