Here’s the thing: batteries don’t have to eternally be made out of lithium. In fact, it wasn’t even a thing until about 10 years ago.

I’m not really into trucks, but if I were to get one, it would be this one.

A friend had a Storm GSI, and with a couple of mods had it up to around 200hp. Doesn’t sound like much but for such a small car it was hilarious fun.

“Suspect is hatless! Repeat: hatless!”

Because the local guys are jacking their prices to match because of no competition. It's right there in the article.

I’ve never been pulled over, but I’ve thought about this more for the officer's safety. My friend's dad was a cop and he was killed this way.

Don’t forget to mention how you pay their taxes, and they should be out stopping *real* crime.

I was just looking the other day to see if there was a way I could install a handbrake in a car that doesn’t have one.

No mention of the Avrocar? It actually looked like a flying saucer! From the great people in Canada who brought you the Avro Arrow:

Is it going to be the 2018? Because I hear the 2019 is going to redesign a lot of things, including the battery, and I’m curious if they’re going to at some kind of thermal management other than “don’t park it in the sun.”

For what it’s worth, I read an article somewhere where they put high performance summer tires on a Bolt, and it did indeed handle better.

They don't. We just got one. So it's good to let it drift to a stop, then you should probably lightly press the brakes.

Now playing

One BIG difference between the Bolt and the Leaf is thermal management on the battery. The Bolt uses liquid cooling, while the Leaf... doesn’t. They also have a full page in the manual stating things like “don’t park it in the sun” and other weirdness.

Only if the battery doesn't have some sort of heat management. I'd be okay with doing this on a Bolt-style battery. Not a Nissan Leaf though.

Heh I found this article while searching for Bolt fires because we’re getting one, and everything I’ve learned so far is that Bolt/Volt batteries are built with thicker casings and fire retardant materials, so there’s been no battery fires yet. Basically if one cell ignites it won’t set off the next one.

I remember they had a good Batman game. Also this game where you're a bouncing pumpkin head, going around a castle?

This is still my favourite on-screen representation of his “Spidey-sense,” where he’s just hyper-aware of his surroundings and his neurological impulses are so cranked it looks like he’s clairvoyant.

I’ve done whitelisting for my landline, which we barely use anyway save for a few friends, but didn’t want to give it up.

No Tofu holder? How am I supposed to make deliveries in this?

The wall will be finished just in time to keep poor Americans sneaking in to take advantage of Mexico’s booming economy.
