It’s amazing how simply posting some climate data brings out the nutters in the comments. People really hate it when the facts go against their deeply held beliefs.

All this seems to be based on the idea that somehow the solar storm will wipe out all the repair crews and our memories on how to repair the current infrastructure. We are talking big business with billions of dollars at stake to get things up and running again. Anyone that thinks a major solar storm will be the…

I’m still waiting to see 300 mile range in an EV the price of a Honda civic. Until then all this is just rich people showing off how environmentally friendly they are by purchasing a car that costs as much as my house, while they heat or cool their 10,000 square foot glass homes and bitch about how the underclass is…

As crazy as he is, he still sounds more sane than Trump. Is it just me or are our elections attracting more of the worst of humanity as the years go on?

It looks like Tesla is a modern day Duesenberg. Will they never make an affordable car?

If you can afford the car you have a nice garage to park it in. With a high ceiling hopefully.

Wow Trump taking advantage of gullible people. Do I see a pattern here?

From my experiences you never see an overweight rider on a Ducati. I used to joke that Ducati dealerships had a scale inside the door. They would weigh you when you came in and you were over the limit they’d send you down the road to the Harley dealership.

I’ve been daily diving Fiat 124s for the last 10 to 12 years, they are cheep, plentiful, parts are readily available and inexpensive and they are fun to drive. This is a picture of my current daily driver. a 1973 124 spider with a later model 1800cc engine.

The side look like aircraft pontoons. When will someone make an anphibious airplane car. If some one already has I want to see write-up on it.

Throughout human history religion was the ruling force in most societies. It’s only been in recent history that the running of governments and practice of religion have been separated. Religion has been fighting to get back into that top slot ever since it was pushed out (in some nations, not in all. Many are still…

Hey it worked for the Catholic church in Europe. Convert or we’ll kill you and raise your kids Catholic. Theocracies are evil by nature.

Here in California I’d want 1975 or older just to get under the wire for smog regulations. Then you can modify and give this care more power. If I was going for a daily driver, I’d want post 1982 to get the fuel injection. I wouldn’t pay over $5000 for an X1/9 between 1976 and 1981 no mater the shape. I’ve owned one…

Anyone that uses religion as an excuse to kill or injure are in the ranks of the worst of the worst. If your beliefs can’t stand up to a little criticism perhaps you need to rethink your beliefs rather than trying to terrorized people into agreeing with you.

I think the write up in the hitchhikers guide for Philadelphia has gone from harmless, to mostly harmless.

I remember reading back in the 90s, as auto companies incorporate the use of wind tunnels in car design more and more eventually all cars will begin to look alike, as there is one shape for cars that works well in wind tunnels. Blame the wind.

Killing animals for food is one thing, but killing animals just because you like to kill things seems like a mental disorder.

Try a BMW 2002 where the rotors screw to the hub from behind. That’s fun as well.

I got a lot of use out of this book back in the 70s when I was trying to keep my $300 63 VW campervan on the road. Very well written and easy to understand for the budding mechanic.

I remember back in the mid 80s I was on the underside of the suspension side of the bay bridge (basically big metal and pavement reverberation chamber) leaving San Francisco at about 3:00 am. I was pretty much alone out there. I started to hear rumble growing in intensity and my first thought was oh crap it’s an…
