It’s a great idea, and one that worked din the early years of IC vehicles. A LOT of automakers used “Commodity” engines from makers like Continental. But with the timelines given for conversion to electrics the idea does not make a very compelling business case. Engine production lines are VERY expensive, and rather…

An old dead white guy who started a sausage business and branched out into home cooked miswestern food restaurants all over the midwest. Things like biscuits and gravy, chicken, salads. The kind of place woke folk love to sneer at but go when their parents are buying. LOL  The family has sold off the restaurants now…

So they charge the heavy ass battery packs at some other location, then truck them into the “Charge depot” and then have to truck them out again to be recharged if the charging sucks them dry and the 200KWH connection won’t keep them charged? Be sure to subtract the heating/cooling, lighting and vending machine loads…

Thank you for filling in the Monster gaps in information. I’ve served on a grand jury and learned how there is always a LOT of information that seldom gets to the public due to media bias, laziness or just plain not covering it to find out the facts. Just your few paragraphs help paint an entirely different picture of…

How about fuel capacity? How much is it rated to carry? Is there on board storage where the fuel tank appears to be?  Lot’s of pics would be great. 

If you like Honda bikes, then I recommend an NC700 or NC750. Large enough to commute on, but still get very respectable mileage. And it’s a Honda, so maintenance and durability are a given.  Yep, I’ve owned several Honda’s through the years, including dirt bikes for my son. They tend to hold up REALLY well. 

Wow, imagine what the Zora will be like..  Amazing what the C8 does and continues to improve with each iteration.  That said, its somewhat sad that all car development, short of the ‘Vette has seemingly stopped at GM.  Just when they get world class engineering done well, at a good price, they stop making…

Geat ready for a typical “Government” solution. Law makers will most likely not have these in their private vehicles, or they will be bypassed.  If the gov’t REALLY wanted to prevent crashes they’d do something about the distraction from cell phones while driving. I drive an hour each way every work day and I see a…

Actually, no you are NOT an idiot. You’ve learned from your experiences and painful lessons. Secondarily you are sharing your hard won knowledge with those of us who have not trodden this path. You are right, none of the “Solutions” are perfect. I work 12 and a half hour shifts in a hospital an hour away, each…

Right the 98 was a separate entity, and slotted above the 88.

Delta 88 was full sized, but there WAS a slightly larger version called the 98. Great cars for their day.

Bingo!! Give that man a cigar

LOL, I owned one, and know quite a few people who did.  Despite their problems some folks loved them.  I liked mine and it ran fine for several years when I purchased it used.  The engine block was a GREAT basis for building a powerful Olds V-8.  

Given the packaging constraints this was about the best place to put it. In actual practice it was no bid deal as it was visible and easy to check the air status. Below the trunk was the fuel tank, raise the trunk floor to accomodate a hidden spare and, raise the whole trunk floor, taking away a lot of storage space.…

Flame suit time for me. The Jeep Wrangler. It has stellar retail value, and hordes of admirers for its off road chops. But to drive one on the road is really a lot of work. Steering and handling that are “present but not accounted for.” The “Death wobble” and horrible straight line stability on road. Honestly, I could…

Except this- the “Vaccines” you push don’t fracking work.  The CDC admits that. They don’t prevent you from GETTING or spreading Covid.  HUGE difference, although not to those who suck up every utterance from the lying news media.

Nothing wrong with the way the Prius looks.  In point of fact the car has really good space utilization.  Like a faithful wife, who puts more energy into raising the kids than raising your blood pressure it all depends on your priorities. Some of us love vehicles that don’t make rational sense, like a Miata with an LS…

No liking that front end treatment. On the other hand the new 1.5 engine sounds very promising.  My ‘19 manual has returned over 50mpg in mostly highway commuting the last several thousand miles. Basically hybrid fuel economy without the $100 surcharge the state of OH charges for a hybrid. For commuting this car is…

Well, big deal. Platform sharing is nothing new. The Corvette used the same basic chassis from 1963 through to 1982. The C7 was an evolution of the C6, and the similarities are quite apparent. If a platform works well for its mission its age is really not that important. The current Chrysler 300, Challenger and…

How much you want to be cell phone distraction played a role here??
