Restart the keystone XL pipeline Mr President! Admit things have changed and that the middle and lower income people are being massively hurt by the huge surge in fuel prices, and for once, do something real to help them. It’s already built, just needs a signature of a pen to allow it to flow. But Biden won’t do it,

You almost can’t buy a new vehicle that’s a stripper nowadays. Try to find a car without air conditioning, power windows and locks. These used to be found as pricey options on almost all cars, even those considered luxury level. Today, virtually ALL of what you NEED is standard. Options are often just frosting, such

Elephant in the room. Fully 80%, eight zero, of our lithium comes from China. We are lithium dependant for batteries. Maybe in a few years we MIGHT have alternatives, but now? It’s lithium for energy density. So what happens when/if our lithium sources no longer choose to sell to us?

Good God man! Is this an automotive site? Are you an automotive writer? Yes and yes? Well tell me then WHY you use the rarest of opportunities to not tell us about the car, but bloviate endlessly about the fear of covid “Variants” and kindergardeners ability to recite end of world possibilities. If this is where

Just Wow! Who is going to make Mr Delgado whole? Slowed reactions mean he is not going to drive a bus for some time, if ever. What a tragedy, but thank God there were no kids on that bus!

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
