You’re missing the point. For cars, hydrogen isn’t an energy source. It’s an energy storage medium. You invest energy by cracking water to get hydrogen. You draw down on that investment by consuming the hydrogen. Of course you’re going to lose energy doing that — you always do. You never get 100% of the energy you put…

I had a Ford F150 for several years with their Sync system. So no, I never used it. I *tried* to use it several times, but never actually used it.

It takes energy to get gasoline into a car too. You have to:
- pump it into the car’s tank
- haul it from the distribution hub to the filling station
- pump it from the refinery to the distribution station
- refine it at the refinery
- haul the oil from the storage facility to the refinery
- pump the oil from the field to…

Correct. It would be more EFFICIENT to use the energy needed to extract hydrogen and use it directly. which makes sense of you’re powering a house or a factory.

But we’re talking about a CAR. And that’s where things shift from outright efficiency (not fuel economy, but the efficient storage of energy — Joules per…

I did notice a mid-spin correction — 0.7 points deducted for that.

That would probably be the one at NASA’s Ames Research Center in California.

Let’s hope these screens last longer than the one in my old A4 did. they were notorious for dying just out of warranty. And they were non-serviceable. You had to replace the entire instrument cluster.

Nice.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. All this is an unfounded statement that gets people’s conspiracy theory juices flowing.

As much as folks like to bitch abotu the tort system as being out of control (and personally, I feel that certain aspects of it are out of control,) in this case, a lawsuit would be warranted of the shop didn’t agree to make the customer whole.

Lawsuits are intended to be used this way — to make the victim whole. Just…

Totally not drunk.

Honest!

They umbrella is disposable.

Pfft...

I see your camera-rigged hooptie and raise you one GENUINE Ford GT40:

I’ve long held (and spoke with Joey Todd about this,) that TWS was perfect for a huge motorsports amusement park, with everything from motorsports-themed amusement park rides to a fully-operational road course capable of hosting pro-level races. There’s nothing in the world like it. It sits on plenty of land.

Depends on department policy, but I doubt their policy is to use the cruiser in a head-on collision to stop the vehicle. I’m also pretty sure their policy wasn’t to open fire on it with an elementary school in the background.

Policies differ when it comes to motor vehicle pursuits. Often the policy is to pursue at a…

It depends on the department, of course, but many (most?) departments have their officers qualify annually to demonstrate competency with their firearm. And by “competency” I mean “doesn’t shoot themselves in the foot.” Other than that, there’s not much extra training required other than what they get if they’re in a…

Unless the bullet didn’t hit the SUV. Half if his bullets didn’t. (OK, one out of two.) And if they didn’t, what’s the next thing to be hit? whatever’s downrange, including a school.

This video also enforces the stereotype that police officers can’t shoot for shit compared to people with real training in high-stress…

“I was him I’d try to at least shoot the mofo about to run me over too.”

Ermmm — why? Because you’re pissed off that someone’s tryong to run you over?

Firing on the car has ZERO chance of helping you out. But it would make you feel a little bit better right before you died I suppose.

Cop made a bad mistake and got lucky.

OK, you’re paid to sell cars, not drive them. Then stay out of the driver’s seat! Especially the driver’s seat of cars you don’t know how to drive!

I used to work for a large defense contractor. To drive one of their vehicles,(from a golf cart to an F-35,) you have to prove you can operate it competently.

Is this…

Late to the party.

FIRST DAY doing my practical driving. We would drive, three students in the car and the instructor in the passenger’s front seat. One would drive for 30 minutes, and then the next. this would continue for three hours in the morning. While one drove, the other two students would sleep, or read —…

Thermocouple.
