The only place I’ve had to drive the “wrong” side of the road was the island of Totola, part the British Virgin Isles. There they drive right hand drive cars on the left side of the street, and everyone drives like they’re running 30 minutes late. Fun stuff.

“4.) Put up warning signs like they have in open grazing lands warning that there might be livestock in the road.

“When they’re bored, tired, or drunk.” the only thing they left off the list was “too old to drive myself around”

Looks to me like the guy that caused the accident was focused on the oncoming car. Also this shows why wearing a helmet without the chin strap fastened is absolutely useless. Looks like that box on the back of his bike knocked off his helmet just in time for his head to hit that back of that car. I’ll bet that hurt.

I would assume that the reason Tesla only needs the data from the sensors doesn’t lie, where humans are less reliable in that area.

It’s amazing what a plane like this can do when you leave the roughly 200,000 pounds of the humans and their baggage that it was designed to carry on the ground.

I’ve always loved micro-cars, though its always looked to me like Crosleys were designed by children. It’s like they asked a small child to draw a sportscar, station wagon, car, or truck, then took that child’s rendering to their engineers and said, build this.

It’s common to cut VW engines in half for use in experimental aircraft.

This is a perfect example of what happens when two assholes meet in the wild.

About ten years ago I was living in San Francisco, and I had two cars. I had an 87 Toyota 4wd LE van and an Acura Integra. It was 4th of July weekend so I parked the Van in a place where it wouldn’t get towed, and took the Acura up the coast to Mendocino to spend the weekend with my kids (newly divorced).

This brought back memories from my junior high shop class where we all had to disassemble and reassemble a Briggs & Stratton lawn mower engine. If your engine would start you passed the class. Fun times.

“I’ve never ridden a Chinese step-through scooter, but if I had to guess I’d say running was probably the better escape-option”

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

So they’ve built a golf cart.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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…
