Early 1960s, driving solo, LA > Dallas to college, on what would become I-10. 1951 Ford convertible with handthrottle (early cruise control, without brake cancellation). I hadn’t much rest before leaving and took off east in the evening. It was summer and I had the top down, figuring the cool desert night air would…

I can’t speak to cities other than Seattle, but I wouldn’t own a care there. (I live in Hawaii, but Seattle is our main connection and business center.). Too much congestion, parking fees, high insurance rates, etc. There are many options; bikes, Lime cars (and others), light rail and busses, for city use, and rent…

You ecpect a tee designed and produced in China or Pakistan to be accurate?

We have two AddMotor folding e-bikes; 750 w motors, 7-speed shifters, 20" super-fat tires (roll across beach sand with no problem), 40 miles range, 25mph. Looks way cooler (sorry can’t post pic. Oh, and $1,495 each, list price ... then the distributor gave us a substantial discount for buying two, and split the…

I remember when this was the hottest thing on the salt.

I would love to be able to buy the platform. 

Pish-posh, just wait until you get the bill for simple curb rash on your new ‘flying car’!

I think zeus means no radar-actuated brakes, so he can just go ahead and reae-end that jacked-up F250 if he damnwell wants to.

One more time; There is no such thing as a ‘flying car’, at least not currently in the US. There may be ‘roadable aircraft’, but until there is a fundamental change in FAA regulations* a pilot license (and depending on aircraft configuration, a medical certificate) is required to operate same in the air.

Fourteen winters in NW Montana, loved heated seats. Now living in Hawaii, love air confition cooled seats.

Wranglers are a big part of the rental fleets on the Big Island of Hawaii. They never leave.

You see a lot of Kei trucks in Montana, of all places. I would look to Canada, theyʻve got all sorts of vehicles we can’t register in the US. Since you’re only using on the farm, it doesn’t matter.

YES! Bring back the wind wings ... uh oh, I thinks I just showed my age.

I’m curious. In aviation, if you knowingly and wilfully break an FAA reg, or operate out of the dicumented parameters of your aircraft, the insurance is voided, and you go pound sand.

I can vouch for it. After over 20 years owning at least one Subaru at a time, we bought a different primary car. The main criteria (my wife’s new car) was ease of entry, exit, and ride height, relative to semis. Since we no longer live in NW Montana, and off-roading is a joke in Hawaii, we didn’t need AWD anyhow. We…

I live in Kona, HI, and there’s at least one of these runnung around. While I don’t care for the looks, there is a certain logic here. We’ve got a LOT of substandard coffee farm roads, and remote beach access roads. In many areas 4-WD or locked-AWD is a must, as well as substantial ground clearance. Now if I owned a…

I’ve been instructed by ATC to perform a maneuver I considered unsafe a few times in forty years of flying. My response ‘unable (to comply)‘. That’s the end if it. ATC has to then offer you another option, or allow you to continue. And yes, I’ve been scolded on the air, and in one instance reported to the FAA, but I…

1959, Riversida, CA taking a lesson in a couple year old Plymouth, six/stick. I’m in the right lane doing about 25 in a business district, when a guy on a bicycle shoots out of an alley into my lane directly in front of me ... no way I can stop. I snatched the wheel as hard as I could, and sorta crow-hopped the car…

When I started driving there was still a LOT of yellow stop signs ... yeah, I’m old.

Well, it snot a grille, and it snot a vent ... hey I think I’m onto something here. It’s a nostril. And I hate every one with a passion.
