As I recall it looked like this, only more like one of these that had been owned by a poor person under the age of 21 who had used on jeer trail in the Rockies, and thought maintenance and repairs were a waste of time.

I had a friend back in the early eighties in Colorado who drove an old Chrysler New Yorker that had no heater. He tried using a kerosene heater, but he had to keep a window down so you didn’t get asphyxiated, and an accident or sudden change in direction posed a fire danger. It was not a good idea. Just get the damn…

I have found that simply crossing the half century mark age-wise has given me perspective to realize that It’s not worth my time to get upset about the actions of the idiots around me. Getting in a rage is just going to ruin my day, So screw it.

As fuel economy requirement went up companies were forced to test cars in wind tunnels to reduce drag and increase mileage. Now there is basically one sedan shape, an SUV shape, a coupe shape that works in a wind tunnel. Modern car design is basically done by bureaucrat safety regulators and wind tunnels. Then…

How could you not see that? If had collapsed would you just drive off the edge of that too? Sadly the loading dock owner will be blamed for not realizing how stupid people are, and how we need to protect our idiots like the valuable resource they are.

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.
