Those cars got small battery packs (20-30 kwh) but that’s still worth a couple grand even in today’s market.

I assume the problem is disputed ownership because there should be a decent secondary or surplus market for those battery packs.

Ford owned “Skyliner”, not Skyline.

He said reliable.

Movies seem to make the fears of airline pilot incapacitation worse than reality. While a pilot dying en route is tragic, the bigger emergency is the health of the dying pilot, not the fact that the aircraft is still flying. The FAA stresses that these incidents are rare and passenger safety isn’t really compromised.

Pretty sure they would have made it safely with the F/O alone.

Far as I know they don’t. They applied for it, and the media all reported on that application (2021) seemingly considering it done and dusted. But Nissan responded and got Ford’s naming rights revoked. Nissan is now applying for the same trademark (2023).

I suspect your snout is turned up Rory. What I see is functional and effective design of this home. Resulting is relatively affordable construction. 

Gawker media sites have always trolled readers for clicks to some extent. Jalopnik had plenty of anti-car posts from Alissa Walker for years. Sure, she was clearly interested in urban planning and transportation. It was also clear that she thought of car culture as a mistake, or archaic/unsustainable at best.

So have I, I normally just ignored those “nitwit” complaints as over sensitive or too reactionary, but now I’m complaining.

Google Rory Carroll, the author. Tells you everything you need to know about the narrative here. I just come here to see what crazy woke shit they push next.

Do people who write for Jalopnik actually like cars?

1. I agree they are ugly, but in neighborhoods with small lot sizes they are the most utilitarian way to get the necessary 2x garage spaces for a suburban American family. I bet these garages still won’t fit many full sized pickups

1. Because gaseous hydrogen wants to leak out of everything, especially at high pressure.

This seems like extremely strong justification for ensuring that the airshow is not held out of an airport that is in a populated area - if bringing together that much of civil aviation means a crash is almost inevitable, it seems pretty irresponsible not to be ensuring that when the inevitable crash does happen, the…

If the plane is not responding to controls, there’s no point in riding it down to the crash. You’ll kill yourself and not change the outcome for anyone on the ground.

Russia sold the MiG 23 all over the world. You don’t have to source parts from them. 9 countries still fly it today.

Liquid hydrogen is more dense than gas, so if you left it as a gas, you’d need a much bigger tank for the same amount of fuel.

The video goes into all of the liquid/gas/density problems in-depth.

That thing is a swing wing plane like he F-14, I don’t know how you possibly maintain that as a civilian.

They should have keep and let GT-R trim as option in Skyline line-up in the first place, so buyer who want pure high-performance sportcar can still purchase Nissan GT-R while a more casual buyer can purchase Skyline GT-R (either sedan or coupe)
