How about the Rolls-Royce/Bentley L-Series V8. It's been in continuous development for 60 years.

What you're saying is that *driving* a car quickly is inefficient. That's true, but my point is that, particularly in the case of electric power trains, *engineering* a car that *can* be driven quickly does not make it inefficient. Many of the same design characteristics that make it fast contribute directly to its…

"it could have been much more efficient if it were slower"

Although, as long as you pay off your credit card bill every month and do not carry a balance, using credit cards is actually advantageous in several respects.

Kimi's car would always respond "Leave me alone. I know what I'm doing!"

One thing to keep in mind, however, is that, unlike typical internal combustion systems, the characteristics that give an electric car long range and high power (such as high battery storage capacity & motor power efficiency) are actually largely complimentary. So, you're not really "trading" much here, unless you…

Any of Paolo Soleri's Arcology proposals. Although full of interesting and clever architectural details, they all end up as an attempt to keep nature safe from humanity by packing people into dehumanizing beehives.

The person in the Fit was driving like an idiot, but...

Sounds like you'd be happy living in Somalia. You might actually find a use for your guns there - beyond endangering yourself, your family, and your neighbors that is.

Why do conservatives have to be so completely hyperbolic about this stuff, as if the British have been "stripped of their individual liberty." Governments can be tools to protect liberty just as easily as they can be tools to take it away, and a world dominated by wealthy corporate interests isn't exactly "free." Try…

The new transmission control software for the GTR, which debuted in the 2012 model, allows up to 4 consecutive launches before enforcing a cool-down drive, and using it *does not* void the warranty. Now, retrofitting it onto a pre-2012 model car with modified boost settings is another matter as far as the warranty is…

Clearly Bruce Wayne wanted his car back. He's kinda loaded.

Well, I'm very very happy with my Anthony Gallo Acoustics Reference 3.0s, which are the best speakers I've ever owned (I've owned quite a few pairs, including Bose, Energy & PSB) and are pretty much unbeatable for their size, but they're not exactly cheap. This question might have made more sense if there was a…

I couldn't find the camera angle I was looking for, but if you like crazy flybys it's hard to beat the Isle of Man.

Not to question your taste in home decor, but MY GOD THAT'S UGLY.

Bear in mind the fact that the bad location data which caused the issue was sourced from an official Australian-government maintained database. I understand that Apple is responsible for trying to verify the accuracy of their map data sources, but there's plenty of blame to spread around in this case.

I think a test drive of the ubiquitous (in India) Piaggio 3-wheeler is in order. Perhaps a comparo with the Reliant Robin?

The sad thing is you could probably get that text patented...

Marginally confused as to why the Nikon D600 isn't on this list, as opposed to say the Olympus OM-D (a nice camera that nobody is going to buy). Only one Nikon DSLR allowed?
