I fondly remember the first time I drove a saab, and I took me the better part of an hour to figure out what every button/lever did... It was all so weird, yet so awesome. And yes, top gear Uk was right the most driven car by architects is a saab, and now it is a BMW(sources: myself and me working in an architecture…

WHY ARE WE NOT FUNDING THIS???? I always hate it when you get in a train with 3-4 friends, but all the "booths"(where the chairs are facing towards each other) are taken by 1 person and we have to get in a 2 person stall, making the third sit somewhere by himself. This is awesome...

yup, as I said, petroleum derived products and energy...

I don't know where you are from, be here where i live, more and more bags are paper bags(made from recycled paper) as are bags made from corn(which have actually quite a lovely feeling to the bag, very soft) and stores are not allowed to give free bags with purchases, so you are encouraged to bring your own reusable…

funny was just about to post the exact same citation. But indeed nope. If the report is correct we will not have a drop of oil left in 53 years. But that's a big IF. However, let's get cracking on alternatives so that they are mature when the world finally runs out...

I think reserves are known oil fields, but not yet extracted...

For 95% of the population this is a good solution. They do not care about car maintenance and driving. He is probably going to make their lives better. The other 5 percent will still be able to buy cars, enjoy driving them and maintain them the good old fashioned way. What is wrong with that? Can the car-community…

I do not know what you are talking about? I have driven a miata and found it quite a nice car. It's light and handles well and hella fun to drive on a windy road. Although I do not own one, I do not think anyone who drives it is "gaaaay" and quite the opposite, when I see someone enjoying their drive in their miata, I…

why do we keep comparing bmw's with porsches? I mean, yeah they cost the same(these two) so what? The answer is simple. You want a track car to compliment your daily drivers, buy a porsche, you want a track car that also is your daily driver, buy a bmw. Except for some people who really like porsche or bmw or other…

looking forward to reading it on jalopnik :)

O we are also counting the people crashing into us, euhm 1 time with motorcycle, I was completely stationary and he bumped into me, making me drop my bike. The crash bar already had a small dent, because of this, I got a whole new crashbar curtesy of the guy's insurance.(I have crashbars because i ride a r1100gs and…

excuse me, you crashed two airplanes and three motorcycles? How are you still alive? I mean, I ride motorcycles and have only let them drop twice and am learning to fly, but I cannot see a favorable outcome when crashing two planes. If I were you, I would play the lottery because luck is on your side:)

I don't know, but it seems there is a painted c-pillar and not a window

I don't know, the back window drapes to the side on this one and not on the blur...

Don't think so, the wheel well to height ratio doesn't seem to match a pt cruiser. But then again, blury as fuck, so it could be just about any red car that is a bit boxed.

correct me if i am wrong, but i think they just ship the tires, not the whole car to france.

I think hardly anyone is contesting that the engineers are the problem. Management is the problem, because they create the culture. You cannot sue the culture, but you can sue the creator of the culture. If an engineer notices the problem and gets fired, because it would cost Gm too much to fix it, then the manager…

I never said police should be though. They do need authority. Not to be mistaken with authoritarian regimes, they are bad because the people have no say in the process of making laws. However the laws in the usa and Europe are democratically voted, and need to be enforced. Which means we need some people to enforce…

I disagree, if as you say, there are indeed trucks with fuel, then why could there not be truck with loaded batteries making the rounds, switching the batteries and going to and from the station. I would imagine a truck full of batteries much safer than fuel, as I would imagine the process of changing the batteries…

true, but they must be a form of authority, it's easier giving orders if you look the part.I know authority is not just the looks, but it helps. But indeed cops should be sparingly with their resources and since they are part of the goverment, they should lead the way
