It pains me to see that the “Calvin pissing” stickers made their way across the pond. But paired with the rest of the car accessories, it makes a lot of sense.

At least they will crash at a slower speed. France also has similar loopholes for low speed vehicles, as do we (for NEVs) in the US.

The inventor addresses this in the video, and created this as an alternative so that his son wouldn’t have to ride a scooter/moto. I believe they are also speed limited

I think for the model to really work, it would be sort of a rental for the equipment. For a couple thousand Euro, you get to use the device for a couple years, and then return the car back to conventional rear axle. Then the dealer installs the narrow axle on another car.

No need to tell me about it - my family is from Central America and I have relatives that died as a result of Reagan administration’s criminal attempts to overthrow governments in the region. Pax Americana is a cruel joke.

The interview and link on Univision is particularly illuminating.

I agree with your perspective on this and the ways that humans can and should be able to migrate across our arbitrary nation/state lines. Movement of people is the thread that weaves the tapestry of human history.

Electric vehicles suffer more from efficiency losses than ICE vehicles at high speeds. Because the torque curve of electric motors is towards the low end of the RPM range, air resistance becomes a much bigger factor.

That you even ask the question indicates your age (to a degree). We have been down this road before under Nixon, for “conservation” reasons.

Since he really was an engineer, and is now retired, it makes this whole thing even crazier. They don’t even have an argument that he was seeking work in any capacity, he was merely stating his past vocation. This is such a clear attempt to intimidate and silence people, and the additional examples that the article…

This is just all such a great adventure, and the story arc of your drama with Project Slow Devil is epic. That panorama shot of victory - wow!

Clearly to replicate the average American highway situation, you would have to enter text on the screen, while also holding a 64oz drink between your legs.

Actually that sounds like a good additional rule. You have to make contact with the other car, and also send a text at least two lines long before the end of the strip.

I am usually pretty sympathetic to these cases, and have participated in deportation protests at airports and courthouses. However, this hardly seems like a breach of justice or human rights.

It appears that the state of Oregon (my home) is taking a selective and arbitrary approach to who this applies to, but you are correct. The State board that oversees the licensing and stamps for the “PE- Professional Engineer” is saying that anyone who publicly states that they are an engineer must be licensed and…

Just stop the shit with preaching it, because we’re headed there-

Way to completely trivialize the forced relocation of hundreds of millions of people. According to UN studies, about 1 billion people live in coastal areas less than 20 meters above mean sea level. Yes, people will adapt, and country borders might change as a result. But that process will be far from painless, and…

The flaw with your “condition of car” theory is that cosmetically beat-up cars can be driven/bought by people who are indeed good drivers. Often for a very good price. Also, some types of vehicles (work trucks) have valid reasons to be beat up which are somewhat unrelated to the skill of the driver.

So that is how David Tracy finally got his Jeep running!

The principles of the four stroke internal hambustion engine are rather simple:
