WOW, I’ll bet that was incredible. That was the year I was born, so there were at least two loud noises that year. LOL Take care!

I don’t own a Prius, but fuelly gives a pretty far estimate of mileage and they have 3965 Prius (Prii?) listing their real world mileages. Statistically I trust a large sampling more than a small group, or a single automobile. The mean averages 46 with the Prius, with quite a few routinely topping 50mpg. That’s pretty…

Found a video review of the little Colt. You mileage was rather unusual as the car was rated at the 22city and 31 highway. Enjoy!

LOL, you missed my point entirely. Neither the Metro, nor your Dodge Colt are currently available for sale by their manufacturers. Why one might ask? The answer is quite simple- Neither one could meet safety, nor emissions standards today- it really is that simple. Additionally, both often came without a/c. My metro…

Just hope the pilot/gunner does not sneeze during the operation.

The North Korean approach

Here is his American counterpart.

I went to my Dodge dealer, they didn’t have any Colt GTS for sale. Where did you find a dealer that still had one? I drove one of these and it did NOT get 50mpg, even with the “Twin shift” in high all the time. Did you actually GET that mileage, or just internet armchairing? I did, at times get 50mpg from my old 2000…

Batteries and electric motors tend to add poundage= true. But as to your conclusion that they kill efficiency- think again. Consider the Honda Accord Hybrid- 109 cubic feet of interior room, 0-60 in 7.7 seconds and rated at 47mpg overall- sinificantly HIGHER than the non hybrid Accords 31mpg overall rating. Yes, there…

That’s what BUBBA told the boys in cell block D. “It only hurts the first dozen times or so.”

Makes a lot of sense to implement additional power via electric means. Going forward I think we will see a lot more electrification in our drivetrains. The added efficiency, the lowering cost of batteries and raising fuel economy standards pretty much point the way.

MUCH better looking than the Lexus version imho. This looks classy and expensive, not outrageous and silly.

The aircraft is going into retirement in blazes of glory.

The view from those boats the Vulcan overflew near the end must have been EPIC.

Want to bet the designer is a huge fan of the 1960s TV show “Lost in Space?”

Nah, those who love “Predator” love that new look. Also, the school for the blind has ordered two to replace their Pontiac Aztecs.

Read the reply from the man whose dad was a mechanic during the era of the 880s. Absolutely fascinating!!

It sure rather looks like it. I guess the details do make the difference!

I sometimes wonder what the aircraft would have been like with newer, more efficient engines.

Wow, that’s truly filling in the gaps for me about the Convair 880s and 990s. They really were amazing planes, and your dad sounds like he had an equally amazing career. Thanks for taking the time to write you missive, it was absolutely fascinating from a time that seems so long ago, but in some ways was like…
