For some reason when I first read the headline I thought the name was P-Face. Another SUV just what the world needs.

Is that $150 an hour after he’s paid for his workshop, power bills, machinery, materials, tools, vehicles, and healthcare?

So they’ve built a golf cart.

It seems that most of the high end stuff I did in the last ten to fifteen yeas has been modern, glass and stainless, clean lines, and minimal. Laser and water cut shapes have become popular. CNC cutting machines have revolutionized fabrication. Hand forged wrought iron has fallen out of favor. Possibly because of the…

I was a metal fabricator for 35 years. I’ve spent a few thousand hours hammering on red hot metal, and I’ve found people just aren’t willing to pay for the hours it takes to shape metal by hand. It’s becoming a lost art and an almost worthless skill. It’s a great line of work if you want to be perpetually poor, and…

Yes, people will replace a smart phone every six months, a new car every couple of years, but expect things like train lines, bridges and tunnels to last forever. Everything wears out, becomes obsolete, breaks, and needs replacing. If anyplace has the money to do the work it should be the San Francisco bay area. The…

I remember back in 74 my parents sold their 5 bedroom house in Denver for $40,000. just a reference on what $21,000 would get you back then.

I checked out their site and they say the maglev discs are tilted towards the board so shifting your weight causes those discs to drag and give the rider limited control. On an open expanse of copper I don’t see this ever having any more control than a hovercraft over a lake. I can see this being a lot more useful in…

One big issue with anything that hovers is control. How do you turn? Have you ever seen a hovercraft try to turn? Once you get going you’re going to keep going in a straight line, or following the contours of the ground until you hit something. Though something like this on a purpose built bobsled-like track might be…

The cost of the plane is one thing ( I found a 1980 747 for $1,500,000), but the operating costs, jet-A fuel at roughly $5 a gallon, this plane burns a gallon per second, that is roughly $18,000 per hour in fuel alone, not counting airport fees, maintenance, annual inspection fees, the list goes on and on. That is a…

Cows milk is for baby cows. And remember the next time you have that tall glass of milk: There are federally allowable levels of blood and puss in it.

Try telling this to milk drinkers and they refuse to listen. I stopped drinking milk back in the eighties when I heard this and never missed it. Now I find the bovine glandular secretions disgusting at best. I draw the line at drinking bodily fluids.

Personally I find drinking the glandular secretions of animals disgusting. Mammals are meant to drink their mother’s milk till weened. Then you’re suppose to be weened. Don’t get me wrong, I eat cows, but I draw the line at drinking bodily fluids.

I love these cars. I’ve owned one, and driving it was one of the best driving experiences. When Germany was building these the american competition was heavy, live rear axle, drum brake tanks only good for the long straight roads of the Midwest.

Get government off our backs! Now shut up and obey the government!

Picking up a hitchhiker by pulling over in your truck and telling them to hop in the back. Hell just riding in the back of an open pickup. We did that all the time back then.

You have to be a special kind of stupid to take science advice from meat puppets.

One of the things that worked for Clarkson on Top Gear was he simply assumed he’s right and everyone else is wrong. End of story. This is great on the show, and his in writings about cars, but when his writing or speaking roam into territory he nothing nothing about he often ends up stepping into a pile of dung which…

Yeah, But wasn’t Abraham like in his 90s when he was circumcised? Also what dies this have to do with back seat to a Chrysler?

So they pulled out of the US market so they could go make cool stuff?
