I like how American gas pumps insist on asking for a zip code, just to annoy anyone from another country.

I blame poor gas station designs. Ever go to one with a broken pay-at-pump system, so you have to go in to pay. It generally works like this:

Le Car is not cool though. It’s a steaming pile. 

Jesus, I didn’t know my wife posted here too

The real question should be: Should an Electric F-150 be called the E-150?

But...this statement was within the realm of physics. They were explicitly talking about a device for the storage of energy, and said it stored power.

The real question - can you somehow strap the Fur-Raptors together into some kind of cheap electric car Voltron? The combined power of 20 Fur-Raptors, all together in some kind of giant car-bot. There is potential here.

I think someone here aptly called it Bring a Trailer Full of Money.

#3, there’s a website called “BringATrailer”, oh wait... that’s no longer their intended audience.

Not really. England was around for a few thousand years. The British Empire was around for a few hundred. But as Slim Charles said in Season 4 of The Wire, “Yeah, now, well, the thing about the old days: they the old days.” Queen Victoria’s empire did just fine without the EU, but modern Britain will not.

However, the lower-trim car will maintain it’s range for longer, as it can switch to unused cells when the used cells degrade.

Here ya go, here is what $50K of numbers matching 930 turbo looks like.

“Someone else’s project” to me implies a state of either half-finishedness or uniqueness that would make care & maintenance difficult. This is, for all intents and purposes, a Porsche 930—the only difference is that it didn’t come that way from the factory. If this were a newer car under warranty, that might matter,…

Wow, I just checked the inflation calculator, and even $200,000 a year in 2019, is equivalent to 21,202 in 1956. Wowwwwwwww.

...but those did not sprout up due to the Magical Invisible Hand of the Free Market. Perhaps he has heard of the various Federal Highway Acts that funded the Federal Highway Administration and paid for the interstate system
