Jason, I worked on the Elio engine at IAV so let me give you a little background on why they decided to develop it in the first place. Elio had always wanted to just buy an engine but turns out it’s really hard to get someone to sell you one when your a startup. Most companies in that situation want the money up front…

That wasn’t his point - regardless of vehicle configuration, if you leave yourself ample stopping distance and drive per the conditions you should never be near threshold braking causing the tires to lock up, which would engage ABS if you have it.

OK, just this once — A fetus is not a baby. An implanted embryo is not a child. A fertilized embryo is not a baby. An egg that’s been fertilized by a sperm is not a child. Potential embryos are not a baby.

I’m a Catholic conservative and neither party appeals to me anymore. Repubs defend the unborn but want to execute criminals and Dems are vice versa; all life should be protected. Repubs destroy human dignity by tearing families apart and denigrating the other, Dems destroy the dignity of work by telling us those who…

I’ve known who Kavanaugh was for about 6 years now, when I saw him speak at a symposium. While I obviously don’t know him personally, from having seen him speak and read his opunions, which come across as pompous, arrogant and self-righteous, it is not surprising that he has developed a self-image of himself being…

This comment shows how the anti-unionization efforts in the US have worked wonders in demonizing the word ‘union’.
No critique on whatever you posted, just an observation.

Tell me about it. I spent a long time just getting by in lower-end IT jobs, and it seemed like every time I got out of a hole there was another one just ahead. It wasn’t as bad as the people in this article, but I did make some bad decisions, luckily though I never got sucked into payday or other predatory loans. The…

Neutral:

Cheny was crude oil, I believe.

Nothing sounds as good as the 981 GTS.  Nothing.  :)

enjoy the satisfaction of that stock-shaped diff cover precisely distributing lube in that rear end.

Actually, we’re a federal republic, if you want to be exact, which to be fair, is a form of representative democracy. So you’re half right-ish?

Kinda like your thoughts on the “commanding victory” and the elective college. So first up, let’s address calling the popular vote “silly”. This inherently means the EC is…

No viable candidates yet. Dems are in an identity crisis. It’ll get sorted out very soon, we sure had lots of posturing during the SCOTUS confirmation. Dems dont even know themselves, just look at Cortez’s win over the 10-term NY incumbent Crowley.

Hey, remember that we’re in the United States, and we can call him a fat, orange, demented piece of shit who doesn’t actually represent this country’s actual values because we don’t live under a dictatorship.

Or sometimes, you just like the expensive car and can afford it. I am probably going to order new Porsche Cayman as a 50th birthday present to myself next summer. Because I want one and I can afford it. No other rationalizations needed. It’s going to cost 80% of what I paid for my winter house, and I honestly don’t…

“Porsche built its first diesel ten years ago”

Neutral: Buying used is great when what you want is a readily available vehicle with the transmission and options you want. Otherwise, it’s buy new or compromise. Example: a low mileage Sportwagen with a manual transmission isn’t a very common vehicle, especially if you don’t want to travel hundreds of miles to find…

Lol, “missteps”. Proven twin-turbo V6 racing engine, nevermind the EcoBoost label.

Total Service Level Agreement....TSLA

To your point, look at how Tesla is trying to “reinvent” the car (especially the Model 3) with excessive amounts of changes — rather than incrementally ease the public into it, which is the better approach. Yes, they’re still getting orders, but if I’m on Tesla’s board, I’m going to be concerned about what happens…
