Since a km is equal to about 6/10 of a mile, 7 football fields is roughly the part of a mile that isn’t in a kilometer. :D

Sorry, but you’re making money from it. So, this is a performance. Thus schtick. And it seems you’re quite rapidly approaching the limit to get smacked down by your town again. At least have the sense to build some enclosed parking space you can hide them in.

Okay.... For April Fool’s Day, you have to do an article entitled “What You Get When You Slam a Jeep FC and Changli Together at Their Top Speeds”.

I have a 1994 Honda Accord with a stock 2.2 liter, 4 cylinder engine. It is capable of pegging the speedometer at 140 MPH. A LOT of cars are capable of speeds in excess of 100 MPH.

Not only that, but he seems to not understand that the west coast smog problems that spurred car emissions rules for the last half century were the result of ground vehicle exhaust, not jet engines. If everybody suddenly started driving instead of flying, air quality would plummet faster than annual temps rise.

ahhhhh.... aren’t you cute! Go look up the “Tommy Westphall Universe”.

I’m just sitting here wondering.... Are they starting to set up Bruce Campbell to be the next Stan Lee, with cameos in everything the MCU does? Because that would be pretty cool.

I wonder.... How much influence corporate parent VW’s dieselgate had in driving this course of action for Porsche.

They must have surveyed mostly Honda Rustbuck-- I mean, Ridgeline owners this year. :3

Both sides are wrong. See, you lift the wipers, wrap them with something, and put them back down. They don’t get snow or ice stuck to them and they won’t break the windshield. Personally, I use a couple of old nylon fabric storage bags that came with camera tripods, which I can slip over the wiper arms and zip mostly…

Why? Why would ANYONE turn to a bioethicist for car advice? Especially one that doesn’t feel bad about attempting to speak authoritatively about something outside her field of expertise?

All this BS abut distances to repair centers and the like, but you miss out on a few IMPORTANT issues. What does a Roadster owner do for repairs? Tesla has intentionally blackboxed its vehicles AND doesn’t make spare parts available. And because it doesn’t make spares available, no real aftermarket for for any sort of …

#2 is an important thing to do with your snow blowers and lawn mowers, too.

Now... elsewhere in the comments, someone mentioned it costs like $2 million for a locomotive. Okay, sure, that is a new one.... but what about retired ones? Diesel-electrics have been around since the 1940's and became the primary mover of rail traffic in the 1960's. One that is motively/structurally worn out and…

I haven’t seen anyone pumping gas catch fire from sparks from a cellphone, but I have seen an idiot drop a spewing gas pump trying to catch his dropped phone, getting gasoline on himself, his car, his phone, and all over the pump lane in the process. If that idiot was also smoking or had left his vehicle running,…

I can’t wait until that house of cards starts tumbling and all the sudden the news is full of stories about Elon-Gate. Or elongate, if you prefer.

Tesla fails in Japan because they haven’t developed a kei class version yet.

Of course she can’t win on the internet. The first rule of the internet is it mocks utter stupidity rather than rewarding it. Say something stupid intentionally; you’re smarmy. Do something stupid and you’re a possible Darwin Awards candidate. And this has been the way since the internet was little more than email,…

We had a local Chrysler dealer still selling PT Cruisers as new years after the model was discontinued. They could put you in “a new 2014 PT Cruiser” even though the company discontinued the model almost a half decade earlier.

Everyone does that, from dealerships to independent garages. The oil companies are the ones behind it, attempting to drive engine oil sales. I found this out when my family mechanic put a 3,000 mile service reminder sticker inside the windshield when there is an information plate in the engine bay that clearly has…
