Oh, and BTW, for Jalopnik-relevance, it is but a short hop to some beautiful sea and mountain roads, swervy, twisting things of empty asphalt perfection , patrolled irregularly by friendly, lazy peace officers. the biggest road-rage risk is perhaps the occasional ruttish deer or bear

FOr $1,200.00 I will rent you a 1200 ft/sq house, 3BR, 2BA with a view of Mt Rainier. It is a couple blocks from water you can swim in (albeit a bit chilly) and so clean you can eat the shellfish and salmon that lurk near the shore. You will watch the boats glide lazily by, the eagles soaring overhead, and the fluffy…
how the fuck is cryo-induced brain damage "obvious(ly)" damaging?!?! it's never, ever been done. wtf are you talking about?
If Nissan put our an "R" version of the Leaf, with two electric motors, one in front and the other in the rear, and made it AWD - MURDAH! That would be one badass light-to-light racer. And it would go 30 miles on a charge.
I have a Leaf as well, and I routinely out-scoot those little slot-car, Boy-Racer noise machines. Always. Torque is the business!
Smart Hayabusa FTW
you wanted to understand why they did it. isn’t it obvious? they care. a lot. and they feel that the system is rigged against them with layers of traps and diversions and walls. it is. the thing is, to understand why anyone does anything, you have to understand how the human beings mental functions work. we “feel”…
Lemons. I read "lemons" and was all, like -
and for fun: there was a time in human history before there was a moon and also there were living humans who saw Venus come into the interior of the system. it was a hell of a ride, that time when Venus, Lucifer the Light Bringer, came into the neighborhood and brought with him several bigass friends, some of whom hit…
I made it to 4:37 before the music killed my brain.
“We have no freaking idea what is out there. But that Nibiru thing? No way." NASA.
"This aggression will not stand!" LOL @ them going all PR after they got caught. Fucking cops.
and why would we have any faith in a police spokesman who says "nope. not ours."? of course it is theirs. alert: cops lie. (duh-face)
it would be super easy for Nissan to modify a Leaf with an additional motor in the rear and make it a 4wd "R" version and have an unbeatable race car. As it sits a Leaf is actually pretty damn quick. Combine that with no transmission (no gear shifting lag) and you have a car that goes light-to-light faster than most…
economics and marketing. NIssan wants $7000.00 for a replacement battery AND the "new" batteries will not fit in Gen 1 cars so as technology improves it leaves many cars behind. A used Leaf goes for close to that on Craigslist. Basically, Nissan wants you to buy a new car rather than a new battery. Replacement…
Unless you drive an electric car, not a hybrid, then you need to desist from taking part in this discussion. I have been driving a BattCar for 4 years and I can tell y’all this - DO.NOT.WANT. Recharging away from home is a non-starter. Forget those “convenient” grocery store and bank parking lot chargers. You do not…
Just.Fucking.Thank.You. This is the ONLY way to do this uncar thing. Buying them like we buy cars now is an asshole move. So-long car loans and oil changes. And soon - garages.
