This is a common reply I got when tinkering on things.

Or do what mortals do and use an AC compressor.

Buy all 50 and drive one every week of the year without plates while “waiting” on plates except the two vacation weeks....?

They did it Subaru style, which is it was produced at some point, even if just one year.

That is some analog goodness there. I love it. I can almost see how the panel comes off leaving a clean looking wire/switch routing setup underneath.

You’d think so but just about every automaker is not building massive supercharged V8's.

Obviously the shape shifting panels....

Why does it take an untrained writer to make stories that are markedly different than other trained writers?

Except Chrysler people mostly work in Michigan, the extreme North and home to a different kind of “hick”.

Good one, another would be Audi S line.

It could be bad losing the big V8's if they actually made equivalent horsepower per liter as smaller engines... but they don’t. Their V8 makes 74 hp per liter and the big bad hellcat engine makes 114 horsepower per liter with forced induction.

You ARE the “Scorpion Guy”.

I’d like to hear about the NV Energy thing in more detail. I have watched with interest as the bait-and-switch happens.

What supposedly can’t happen: Directly telling the poor they can’t drive without buying an $80,000 car.

To think my 2000 Insight is .23 and it wasn’t even a luxury brand.

They didn’t get even close to area 51 though. Can’t storm that.

2000 Insight is low to the ground and rides rough like a gokart. It’s too slow for passengers. I hypermile and show them the dash readout at 90mpg after 20ish miles and then explain how it’s not cheating or lying.

Maybe I am the outlier but my TDI is easily the most simple car to work on and everything is metal. They use nice fasteners.

Great example within the same product line... The Ford Escape.

Where I live they just randomly slam on the brakes and stop, wherever the hell they want. No parking or pulling over needed.
