Hard to change human nature.  But given time, it will change.  Might take a generation or two, but as long as people keep pushing, it will happen eventually. 

You’re right. I didn’t dig far enough into the links. It makes a lot more sense when they are talking about NOx or NH3, as opposed to N2.

I see, thanks for the info. I don’t know much about the N2 process in vegetation, but I know a lot about oxides of nitrogen in combustion. It seems like any disruption of the local vegetation would be temporary and would be but a drop in the bucket in terms of atmospheric N2.

NOx emissions are pretty important for…

How is Nitrogen emitted from construction?  That’s what I don’t understand.  Nitrogen is inert when referring to internal combustion engines, that’s what I meant.  So, how does construction create N2 emissions? 

I’m just confused by the actual emissions they are worried about. Atmospheric Nitrogen (N2) is the concern here, which has nothing to do with combustion. In fact, combustion can REDUCE the amount of N2 by converting it to NOx (NO, NO2, etc). F1 uses pure Nitrogen in the tires, but I can’t think of anything else. 

Nitrogen emissions? Or oxides of Nitrogen emissions? Nitrogen itself isn’t an emission... Oxides of Nitrogen are.

If it isn’t already abundantly clear, wall street doesn’t care about auto company sales. They care more about betting other investors will drive up the stock price. This is why Tesla who sells a pittance compared to other automakers is (was?) the highest valued car company.

It’s also why it’s incredibly stupid for…

The problem I see with the NHTSA investigation is that all of these issues occur on private property (parking lots and what not). At least, most of the videos I’ve seen have been that way. Not sure what NHTSA can really do in this case.

There doesn’t HAVE to be a COTD winner every day, does there? 

Nah, I’m more of a Sci Fi/Fantasy reader. Micheal Narimoor’s twin born Chronicles is what I’m reading now. (Well, listening to on Audible).

Used CTS V all the way.

Got it.  Thanks.  Didn’t catch the boat manufacturer part. 

My strategy was to acquire a debilitating disease in my hips as a child, have my hips replaced at 30, but still have complications from it all. Now I get to park as close as I want and I get a cool little blue tag to hang from my mirror!

Alright... I’ll admit it.  I don’t get it.  Someone want to explain? 

Isn’t that GM profit loss analysis a little flawed? It’s assuming that a vehicle not produced is equal to a vehicle not sold.  If they have a stock of cars ready to go, plus dealer inventory, aren’t cars still able to be sold?  

JB weld would Probably would be overkill. It’s only ~14psi on a tiny hole.  Duct tape would probably suffice. 

Eh, I say give them some space. 

I can totally see Trump falling for a scam like this.

Yea, I don’t know about the whole “roll cage is not as safe” argument. Too many factors to say for certain. There is certainly a bit of“well, that makes sense” about it. But the fact is, it’s expected for your head to hit things in the car during a serious accident. It’s the reason FMVSS dictates a minimum radius for…

I foresee more bullshit legislation in the name of safety.  My guess is that it won’t be long until cars over 10 years old can’t be driven on the road unless emissions and safety systems can be brought up to current standards.
