Great. Now I want an M.L.T. sandwich. Thanks.

I thought her fight with Kylo Ren was her shining moment. During the fight, Kylo uses the force to trap her hand behind her. We all know that she moved that hand herself, knew she was going to do it, and probably even practiced it a few dozen times. And yet, she still managed to look surprised and confused when it…

They don’t work anyway, so it was a good call to leave them out.

Here’s another guy that had a better outcome. I don’t think his problem was quite as bad (the car was stopped/nearly stopped before it went BOOM). His gear got trashed, but he got out fast and only suffered relatively minor injuries.

As a DD, 200 mile range and overnight charging would be just fine. It’s a rare occasion that I drive more than 200 miles in one day, but I have been known to go over 300 miles just running errands around town (it’s a big town and I like to combine trips into an all-day errand expedition).

2009 Acura TSX (it’s not green :( green wasn’t an option). In stop-n-go commute driving, I can usually get 28-ish MPG. Cruising on the highway I can get 34-ish. I got as high as 43 MPG on the OEM tires once, but those things were useless in the rain.

300 is still a bit on the short side. My current DD can do 600 miles on an 18 gallon tank as long as I keep it to 65 on the highway and don’t hit stop-and-go traffic.

What I really want is to be able to assign a time penalty to certain intersections. There’s an exit ramp near my house that is about 1-2 minutes faster than the alternate route. But it usually backs up and people have to come to a screeching halt from highway speeds. I’ve nearly gotten into a wreck there over 25% of…

That’s where the better-than-new-car warranty comes into play. At this point, though, I’ve had the car 7.5 years. If someone had done any hoon damage to it, it would have shown up by now.

That’s how I got my current car. I bought a retired loaner when the dealer was updating the fleet to the new model year. I got a car with ~6k miles on it, daily inspections before it was loaned out, and a warranty that was better than what new cars got. And it saved me 10%-15% off the new price. The only downside? I…

He did better on the second lap, but the pilot needs to learn to apex his turns better. Rather than flying right at the pylon and turning once he’s past it, he would be faster if he aimed off to the side of the pylon a little and completed half the turn before he even got to the pylon.

It’s okay. The trees will protect us.

Looks like whacky ol’ 2016 is 2 years early.

Ummm, so the spider silk is biodegradable, but what about the laser and light sensor?

There’s a test I’ve been wanting to run for a while now. Imagine you are accelerating to a certain speed, say 88 MPH for the sake of argument. You need to flip a switch at the moment you reach that speed. Do you think it will be easier to time the switch flipping if you have a needle moving ever closer to your target,…

The 1994 Dodge Spirit was the biggest heap of crap I’ve ever had the displeasure of driving. I got one as a loaner car when my car had to spend some time in the body shop. My parents listened to me bitch and moan about how bad it was for weeks.

Because nobody makes one anymore. I got one of the better ones as it is.

I agree 100% with your views on visibility. My head bobs around like a dancing cockatoo trying to constantly check all the different blind spots my car has because of the freaking pair of Washington monument A-pillars. However, once you accept that autonomous cars are the future, visibility becomes irrelevant. All…

Back when Senna was racing for McLaren and helping Honda develop the NSX, McLaren didn’t have any road cars. The F1 didn’t come out until ‘92. That’s not the case this time around. The new NSX will compete directly with McLaren’s road cars.
