What's fishy is the reporting. If you engage in click-fraud, you'll be banned. If viewers of your videos engage in click-fraud, you'll be banned. None of this is unusual, new or surprising.

So let's get this straight: people put loads of time and effort into trying to make money on the back of someone else's business, despite the fact that the business involved has no obligation to them and can withdraw the service at any time. On top of that, they then fail to make sure that they are not breaching the…

Of those, Utah, Idaho and Wisconsin are understandable given their strong religious views, Virginia is obviously because they want to live up to the name of their state, North Dakota is fictional, and in Florida and Tennessee it's 18 in an attempt to slow down the rate of inbreeding. Delaware, motto 'The Lawless…

Do we know how many were built? Low volume is defined as:

I suspect you're in for a whole world of pain trying to get that legal in the UK. It's hard enough normally, but the problem here is that a car from a defunct mainstream manufacturer is not counted as the same kind of thing as a kit car, one-off, home-build, or similar. I think you'd probably have to get it through…

I laughed. Didn't think of that one, and it's normally the way my mind goes.

He'd normally be me. But just, no. Not this time.

Is there really any need for the monogamist judgementalism, Jalopnik?

Wait. Is my geography bad, or is California just about the only state with 18 as the AOC? WTF?

Just asked the wife if she recognised this one. She said suggested it looked like a Top Gear segment. I asked if she didn't recognise the guy inside. She said 'it's the guy from Top Gear'. WTF? 'Yeah, the one who dresses all in white'. 'The Stig?!' 'Yeah'.

This one also fails the wife-test. Even I was a bit surprised, but she hadn't a clue what it was.

Just checked. The wife had no idea. When she said it looked 'futuristic' I gave her a bit of a nudge and she asked if it was 'the Back to the Future car'.

I was mainly just joking about transaxles solving all problems. I agree a conversion would be non-trivial - which you have to put down to the ridiculous design of the thing. Just how much crack were Fisker smoking? Or rather, how much crack were the US government smoking to reward such blatant rent-seeking?

Don't forget that you get to rip-out all the batteries and motors - plenty of space left after fitting a trans-axle for fuel tanks. Batteries appear to fit where a drive-shaft should be.

If you understood I was dusting off a tired old trope from that, I worry you might feel I'm suggesting you have a chip on your shoulder if I point out that actually I said the opposite, equating Americans going to another state with Europeans going to another country.

If you believe some of the wilder claims out there, adding LPG injection to diesel engines can boost power by a third or so. Would be fun on that V12 - ~700 horsepower and 1000 lbs/ft of torque.

A collapsed lung? Seriously? Ow. Surely there was some other contributing factor, though? I've never heard of that happening even when I was working ski seasons - and you can bet that if one of the thousands of guests in resort we shipped down the mountain each week had suffered a collapsed lung, we'd have heard.

No. Although I didn't even see the question, so I didn't submit anything. But if I had, it wouldn't have been in my home country - the UK - because I've been to other countries with much worse road systems. In general, Europeans are far more likely than Americans to have visited other countries - about as likely as…

Bear in mind that engine torque, engine power, and gears all work together. If a diesel has twice the torque and half the (usable) rev range, you just put in gears twice as long as in a petrol-engined car and get the same result. Diesels have a nice flat torque curve so the gears can be further apart without it being…
