Is it just me or is his car desperately in need of an alignment? Either that or he's fighting torque steer the whole time.

Why? In response to your first question, there already are rail yards every few hundred miles to service the trains that currently exist. There will be service yards every few hundred miles along the high speed rail route in California.

But here's the thing: for the same $40,395 it would take to buy that F-150 I created, I can get a new 228i that's loaded with features. I can get the M Sport package, which includes 18-inch wheels, and sport suspension, and sport seats, and a sport steering wheel. I can get Estoril Blue, which is the greatest color in…

That's all well and good and I agree with you, it will take more time. But you will see a fall in the living standard of most developed countries if their population growth continues and that includes modern, western economies.

Actually, that report is out of date now... also, birth rates in developing countries have not fallen as the people have become richer.

That actually doesn't make any real sense. First of all, in order to have trains doing coast to coast runs like that, they need massive facilities ever few hundred miles in order to be pulled off the tracks and maintained. Additionally, the same issues trains currently face will still be present with this, namely,…

I don't think this is particularly effective at this speed

I like how they go on to say that rubbing is racing, how American. (I love it)

Exceeeeeeept their powertrains are boring outside of the miata...

The best performer? Mazda with an average of 28.1 mpg. The worst? Chrysler at 20.9 mpg because all anyone wants is Jeeps and Rams. Nissan (zoom zoom!) was up the most, hitting 26.2 mpg from 24.1 mpg the prior year.

You know you'll actually save more gas by leaving it in gear instead of putting it in neutral. When the car is left to idle it needs a constant amount of fuel to run but when left to engine brake it doesn't require any fuel to keep rotating.

I am not sure whether or not the second bill would be worth it for personal use, but I can see it being put to use in fleet situations.

HHHHNNNNNNNNNGGGGGHHH

Man at about 5 minutes in do they overcook that corner or what. That kerb was definitely just a suggestion at that point.

That's the thing, there will not be one company monitoring the data. It's not like access is going to be restricted. There will be more than one dam, and someone is probably going to have a tube in the reservoir before it even gets to the dam anyway.

True, but the impetus is on pilots, air traffic controllers, etc to fill out a report when an incident happens, not for just your ordinary day at work.

It's also voluntary.

Well of course it's harped on, people believe that there is an expectation of privacy. The thing is, it is difficult for people to trust a company no matter how small, altruistic, or great they say that they are. Data is still being taken without an explicit consent and then expected to be deleted by someone later. …

It is a bad thing, to insurance companies and governments, which is why it will never be anonymous.

I'm sure that it is possible to get completely stripped data, like Car A drove 605 miles today and averaged 55 mph etc etc. But the thing is, this will not be limited to that kind of data collection. Insurance companies, governments, research firms, they are all going to want to know how far you go, what routes…
