Not to be Debbie Downer, but I would argue that the Queen Mary 2 doesn't cost money per hour, but instead makes money per hour. The cost the passengers pay to be aboard more than offsets any operating cost. I don't think you can separate one from the other. Especially if you are counting crew wages. Most of that…

Well there is not a US version with sliding doors. And I find it easier in the rain to use sliding doors. I can get in the cab, close my umbrella, and then close the door instead of have to close my umbrella before I open the door. Also in terms of passing a stopped taxi, or biking in the city, sliding doors are a…

The C-Max doesn't have sliding rear doors.

Seems like a lot of plastic where there should be supple leather on the back of the seats. Looks like a very clunky fold down mechanism.

The width isn't going to make the tire look any bigger in the wheel well. If you step up from the base you can get 19s and 20s instead of 18s and 19s.

I had to overlay the two images to actually see what the difference is. I am never going to tell someone not to make a wagon, but it barley seems worth it on the C7. The amount added doesn't change the profile enough for me.

Did you miss the #2 answer, a Mazda 3?

The thing is, there really isn't any maintenance needed for piling. You drive them into the ground, and that is that. If the ground is suspect they tend to show to very quickly once a load is applied. This happened in Tampa FL on the Selmon Expressway in 2004. (see photo) LINK

Nice to see it on the track, but hard to compare anything when it doesn't look like the GTR was driving all that hard.

You are right, 795 lb feet are monstrous. Thank god this truck only has 765ft/lbs of torque.

You never said anything about having to be in the cars, so I propose slot cars.

European rallye trucks crossing a river. Just a little perspective on how lucky the firetruck. If purpose built offroad trucks can get stuck crossing a known river, why would firemen try to forge a massively flooded street with who knows what type of debris under the surface.

Seems like a pretty stupid thing to do with a very expensive piece of equipment. The fire chief should have their ass for driving like that.

"To start with, anything that a human creates is only as good as the human that creates it."

Do you allow autopilot to fly you around the friendly skys? If so, whats is the difference between that and letting a taxi drive you around?

I drive the 95 corridor from NYC to Boston all the time, and almost without exception I will see one charging up at the rest stops in CT. The newer rest areas have two Tesla charging docks each.

Race the two of those on something that doesn't look like a go kart track, and the results would be a bit different.

This is "what" a long-distance rally Toyota Landcruiser looks like on a proper gymkhana course.

Checker without a doubt, but where is the love for the pedicab?

Just a friendly tip, it helps to mention what the car is somewhere in the article. Best I could put together is a mid 1980's Porsche of some variety.
