Note the absence of gear shifting? Most electric bikes have only one "speed" in the geartrain/no shifter.

How come nobody here seems to be connecting dots? Google makes/licences/owns, Uber dispatches, the pine-tree freshener people get a lock on that end of things, and JCDecaux (who make self-cleaning public pay toilets), and Pine-Sol all get together and dispense with privately owned cars.

They'll relabel the Staples EASY button to say "STOP" and stick it inside so that you'll have the illusion of control. Car will stop if pushed and say "That was easy!".

How come the carrier is empty in all the shots and there is never more than one aircraft in any scene besides the in-air shots?

That is a 1935 CHRYSLER design study. Look familiar?

A friend of mine died when someone doing this on a public road was taking up 90% of the pavement going around a blind corner. What do you do when you're on a motorcycle and have a car coming at you pitched over at 45 degrees to the centerline with both back wheels in your lane?

I sold consumer electronics to get through college. VCRs were $79-$650 at the time. Consumer Reports slammed the higher-end machines due to the frequency with which people repaired them. This in comparison to the crappo units that cost less to replace than to repair.

You say that when you're behind such a vehicle. It's a waste of mental breath.

In the early 1980's, when the M1 Abrams was new, the US Army shot a TV commercial where the tank was run at high speed and jumped as a chorus of men sang "Be - All That You Can Be!".

Side-view mirror stalk. Positioned so as to keep the mirror visible within the swept area of the windshield wipers. Some places (Japan in the 70's/80's) have vehicle code that requires such.

I call not-bullshit.

Does this apply to women who drive from the back seat, too?

The article's snark is written without context. If you look at what was on offer in 1985, it was all 3-box design with corners and chrome everywhere. Fake wire wheel hubcaps, padded landau tops, opera windows, hood ornaments - that's where midsize sedans were.

Where does one go after their 9000 vehicles get smoked? Will he sell for scrap value? Keep the skeletons? Betcha there's $50k in steel there...

This is how you write the check:

Brogham rhymes with "chrome" or "broom", depending on where you live. Or it rhymes with Bro-ham, depending on where you live and when you were born, I guess.

1960 Plymouth Fury with mettalic flake in translucent/clear plastic.

TV-Tube-Shaped, anyone? This is the 196o Imperial.
