As city and county budgets get ever tighter I would NOT hold my breath awaiting this type of monitoring and predictive ice treatments and road repairs anytime soon.

Uh, could you imagine sitting in that wing seat when the panel decided to say "Bye bye?" I'll bet that person destroyed their underwear. Seriously, awesome that no body was hurt and I pray the panel did not damage on its fall to earth, nor when it contacted the ground.
The truth is clear. MOST people are not auto enthusiasts who revel in technological details and tactile sensations that only the "Lunatic fringe" like us enjoy. The overwhelming majority of people WANT and expect a vehicle to be an appliance on a par with their Kenmore washer or Frigidaire refrigerator. Truth be…
To me that is THE issue. That and Honda and Toyota's well worn reputation for durable, trouble free cars. Mazdas are also durable, but they are more known for their ZOOM ZOOM advertising. Great product, iffy marketing can lead to lousy results.
You have my vote for post of the day
Few actually get great mileage. Most bikes are geared relatively high for instant response without downshifting. Couple that with the awful aero, particularly for those bikes where you sit up straight and engines tuned more for high rpm power and you get some crappy mpg. The 1.4l inline four in the ZX14 Kawasaki…
Sell the most cars in the year, by any and all means possible.
Beautiful and fascinating. War changing? Hardly. This is a highly specialized craft that barely has room for a pilot, let alone ordinance or endurance. The Germans were actually WAY ahead of the Allies in aircraft design. Thank God they were not able to produce them in numbers sufficient to have made the difference.
Pretty amazing story actually. I'll bet there a LOT of stories of tech lost in the maze of corporate America, like this system.
Thank God neither was seriously hurt. The skydiver really escaped death twice here. Once when he missed the whirling prop when he passed in front of the airplane, and secondly when the bouncing plane fairly narrowly avoided becoming a crotch ornament.
Youo have rendered it un necessary
Kinda like the steel framework of buildings 1 and 2 on 9-11?
I suspect it has to do with fitting the ring gear to the crank. It is likely to be a tight fit, so they warm the gear up to more closely simulate engine temp in order to allow the ring gear to fit onto the crank.
Perhaps if the Ram diesel continues to sell well they will rethink the "No Diesel for you" policy in the USA.
The first "Gay " Jeep?
Jeff Gordon did an epic payback and you show a lot of class in putting this on the website. This is what is fun about real guys and real cars. God Bless ya!
Angelo JR, thanks for the valuable information. Sounds like the truck, as configured is really lacking in the power department.
With modern updated electronics the systems on the car could be updated as well. You know, old Porsches and VWs could have their engines removed in half an hour and they are upgradable as well. I would love to see a major automaker make a car that has enough room and utility that you would want to keep it around for…
Don't like it? Don't buy it. BMW obviously recognizes that they can make money this way- more power to them. Will it drive like the Ford C Max? Will buttheads who still think they own the road because they drive a BMW buy one? The answer to these questions and more will be revealed in time.
