This goes double for motorcycles. Bought my last bike in the middle of January. The seller wanted the cash to pay off Christmas purchases and nobody else was looking to pick up a motorcycle when it was 35 degrees outside. I easily paid 50% less than I would have if I’d bought during the spring or summer.

DNC emails. All of the information that was released is basically undisputed.

I really want to see underneath this thing. I’d like to see how they have these motors attached and driven. Seems like they’re still using stock axles, transfer case, driveshafts, etc. Imagine how much more capable this truck would be with in-wheel motors. No driveshafts or axles to get hung up or break, completely…

It’s a battery powered electric truck with a hydrogen range extender. It’s no more a “hydrogen truck” than the BMW i3 is a “petrol car”.

Also keep in mind that, while this thing uses a hydrogen turbine, it is, at heart, electric and has a lot of on-board battery storage. Diesel trucks use fuel when they’re sitting in traffic or crawling through town. This truck will be able to cruise along on battery power, only firing up the turbine when the batteries…

If this thing truly does cost half as much to run, then it definitely is an economic decision. If they can deliver on the promise, trucking companies will be fighting tooth and nail for them.

Your graphic shows who predominantly works for minimum wage, not who benefits from a minimum wage hike. The people that benefit most are the rich, because the hike in costs affects them disproportionately less. Meanwhile, the minimum wage earners wages go up, but so do the costs of everything, because businesses still…

Just wait until you see their post-Dieselgate R&D budget. Bugatti’s next car will be a Polo with a body kit.

I let the library do my sorting for me. Everything is always in order and sorted by topic, I get a huge set of books to choose from, and it doesn’t take up any space in my house.

The regular i3 will already leave any other car for dust! It’s off! I can move! What more do you want?

I own a Focus Electric and it is definitely not what you’d call “hot”. It’s actually got decent acceleration from 20mph to about 50 or 60. Stomping on the accelerator at 30mph gives a pretty satisfying push back in the seat. Not like a supercar or drag strip terror, but not slow either. It also handles pretty damn…

That something is their customers.

Not true. I recently switched my insurance from direct-carrier to a policy through an agent and it went down by ~$200/year. The policy through my local agent was cheaper than every single alternative (including Geico, Progressive, Pemco, etc). Agents don’t automatically raise the cost, because they often have access…

Amazon says the promo code for the RoboVac 11 is already expired.

Nowhere near the road? How do you figure? They’re literally right next to the road. Like, a foot and a half away from the car. The road itself has no shoulder and no right side painted line. It’s not crazy that the car slowed down there. The car passed other pedestrians just fine, when the delineation between the road…

The energy company rebates are a good call. It could make an upgrade nearly free, depending on where you live. Unfortunately for me, Puget Sound Energy covers the Nest ($75 rebate) but not the Ecobee.

I haven’t seen it yet, but I was also hoping for a lot of what this article describes. I always hated the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car segment, and would skip it almost every episode. The car reviews and hot laps were fun, but to me Top Gear was always its best when the guys were doing a challenge (the cheap car…

These doors are awful. The pivot arm on the bottom is right in the way of where you’d want to put your foot when getting into the car. That, combined with sills that are about a foot wide, is going to make entry/exit a real chore. I’d love to see video of Clarkson getting in and out of this thing, because it would be…

I agree 100%. It’s fine to dislike the president elect, to point out problems in his policies, and even to poke fun at him...but saying that we’ve all died and gone to Hell since he was elected and calling him “a rotting piece of head cheese” is something I’d expect from Jezebel, not Jalopnik.
