star for mentioning Wardenclyffe Tower.

A Big Trak! One of my favorite toys from back in the day. It was like magic.

You must be a Cook County liberal urban elitist. ;)

I’ve had one for 5 months, no issues yet.

This was my concern but the maint schedule on the generator is negligible. I’ve only used it twice, both on very cold days when the electric range was cut in half.

Yeah, same. Although the suicide doors suck when parked next to other cars.

I’ve got one I’m leasing. It feels very big. Flow-through floor, sits high, lots of head room, great visibility. iDrive sucks.

That kind of thinking/talking is playing into the polarization of the political parties.

My issues with the GTI vs i3 segment was the lack of real review of either car. They used to spend time talking about the cars, and what they liked and what they didn’t like. This time, Clarkson showed off Adaptive Cruise, which both cars had, and May just had issues using a charging network. Nothing about the…

Yeah, this is the big one... especially with any lingering range anxiety. I need warm, or at least not stiff, hands to drive. That and a seat warmer and I can deal with the rest of the car being frigid.

I think having someone recognizable would be good. If she’s a known actor, there will be more understanding between the audience and the actor that she is playing the roll of Leia, whereas using someone unknown will come across more as “this is Leia, now” (to me anyway).

This was my thought, but in reverse. He aced Arnold-as-Bernard. He can make himself and be on the team he wants to win, and stop his march towards death while he’s at it.

Average age of cars on the road in the US last year was 11.5. source. Cars last longer now. Even if it was 8 yrs, that’s still short sighted. Obama was elected 8 years ago, and that seems like yesterday.

Thanks for the story; would read again. :)

Engineer Pass in a minivan that’s awesome. Cheers.

pics of said van?

HESH. WANTS. POPPERS!!!

“dont use comic sans” ha ha ha

Pi pairs really well with this for the execution of an action, but yeah, using the dot for the voice half seems easier now.

Hooning in bad weather on empty roads is fun with little risk. As soon as there is a foot of snow on the ground, I’m in the Jeep and it’s me, 4 wheelers, and plows out having a good time. Be smart, be careful, but come on.. we need to take safety off the pedestal and have some unregulated fun now and again.
