Um, if this article is about kilobits, then why does it include quotes about kilobytes? They're two different things. Granted, the quote applies to kilobits as well as kilobytes, but you use them as if they are interchangeable terms, which they are not. Same with "the confusing case of the megabit" where the following…

Which is more impressive - the technology, or the acronyms (LEAPTech, HEIST)?

EARLY 04 B6s4 Avant 6MT.

*Checks watch*

This is a terrible idea. The powertrain might be ok, but the chassis kinematics and suspension would need some serious adaptation for each config.

It was a really long car.

It was found 20mi from where it was found?? Whoa, Lost and Found inception.

Ex-Navy Nuke here. I operated and maintained the power sources required for a 5,500 person nuclear warship. I also worked at a civilian nuke plant before I left to ride my bicycle across America and go back to college to study physics.

Diagnostic WITHOUT EXTERNAL EQUIPMENT: If there's a system in the car that can produce trouble codes, etc. (think OBDII; engine codes, ABS, transmission, whatever) the car should be able completely report the problems without buying something else.

You could measure Hiroshima in bananas. You'd just need a lot of them.

this has been really informative, thanks everyone!

Choosing organic fibres may affect cost and quality.

On a side note: If you're the security guard at Samsung, does that make you Guardian of the Galaxy?

It wouldn't be 200 horses. IIRC the average horse has a peak power output of 15HP. And sorry but to keep an axle and wheel that would almost undoubtedly still be non-organic. there are very few examples of rotating systems in nature and those are pretty much all very small systems, nothing large enough for a vehicle.

The "Torching Hour", as it might be known.

Everyone is not an automotive blogger or a jalop, maybe people you know expect shit like a spare tire when a company asks them to pay $50,000 for a car and regardless his entire rant was not just about a spare tire. If what he says happened is true, then he has a legitimate right to be pissed off.

This guy has finally realized that luxury vehicles are an illusion, devoid of any substance, particularly devoid of convenience and reliability. Only wealthy people with more dollars than sense can afford to drive luxury vehicles. Everyone else goes broke trying to drive them.
