You may know this already, but Iveco uses a gear reduction drive as you suggested on certain large diesel engines. It is a very impressive bit of engineering. -Michael

Sure. But energy loss would occur at each of your proposed steps. The turbine powering the generator would have to be geared down (energy loss) the generator would not be 100% efficient (heat = electrical energy loss) the electric motor driving the compressor turbine would not be 100% efficient (heat = mechanical…

I do not see how launch control times are "artificially" inflated. They do the time, correct? I think what you mean is that optimized launch control has the capacity to improve the 0-60 time of a specific model without benefit to (what you describe as) real world acceleration. The distinction is not "artificial"…

I wonder who provided the incentive for him to come up with such drivel. Note to AW: Legislation is revised all the time, that is the reason why legislatures continue to meet.

Nice character line! Factory cargo tie downs! Clean and mostly straight. Sadly, the City will destroy that gem in no time. If it is a daily driver, this time next year, the owner will wish that little truck was still out west, or in whatever salt-free arid climate (garage?) where it spent the first forty years (40!)…

Said the white guy to members of a minority class…

I'm guessing, and this is just a guess, that with "Since Britain" you appear to be implying that public agencies should not be held responsible for broadcasting racist comments. Such a position would merit the response you received. In the alternative, you may have been indicating that such actionable was actionable…

My apologies. I should not have equated your desire to find the car driver culpable with a desire to exonerate the bro.

Ok Brocounsel: A "very solid legal argument" and yet the driver of the car appears to have committed no infractions of the MVC (I'm guessing there is no left lane travel ban due to the turning lane appearing in the video)? Good luck with your manslaughter causation element. Your spring trap analogy also fails to…

Yep, if you are going the speed limit, you should just park it in the left lane and sit there. Because you.

Thankfully you were able to catch that exit with less than a mile to spare! And good for you- that guy you were parked behind in the left lane deserved your protection! The nerve of that women in the Porsche - can you believe that she thought the left lane was for passing?

Why don't you just move over a lane and get out of the way?

It would take this ad to make the Caddy ad seem realistic. If restaurant scraps and zoo poo were responsible for our domestic food production, the US would starve to death. Nice hobby? Sure. Good message? Yep. Any more realistic than "Poolside"? Nope.

Ha. I had another dozen lines- but it was a dark dark spiral to hell. -Michael

Thanks for posting a link to the film. I want that job! Hang out in 1960s Santa Barbara developing trucks on the beach? Sign me up! But 5 bolt hubs with 1 - 1.5 ton capacity? No thanks. From the video footage it seems like they were contemplating the agricultural market. But a non-articulated frame with a flat bed…

Woman: Whitney, you said that we had to drive the Range all the way to Tahoe because we needed it for off-road.

"…as it finally gives industry experts and forensic authorities a clear picture of what happened on the flight deck before communications were halted on Flight 370."

You wrote: "… but the thing is, many/most of those can be substituted for (ahead of time) by a good lawyer. It will obviously be a lot more hassle than just being married, but still, it's not like it's something you actually need the government for."

The Michigan ban was ruled unconstitutional BECAUSE the people who wanted the same rights as other Americans did exactly as you suggest and retained legal counsel.
