I like it. Not my style, and would not work out here in the wilds but for SoCal I agree, this is about perfection. I like a long box for trips to the lumber yard. But if you don’t need to cargo capacity, this is pretty awesome.  

Look closer at the 1/4 angle shot, I think there is a second belt on the A/C pulley. Maybe he stacked 2 pulleys on the A/C compressor? There definitely seems to be a belt running from the crank, behind the brackets to the vicinity of the compressor.

Yep, Yep, Yep, Meh, Yep, Yep, Meh, Yep.

Nope, Nope, Yep, Meh, Nope, Nope.

Ever hear of interstate highways? I have driven 8 hours averaging 60mph. This includes a fuel/food stop and two biology breaks. It was not that difficult. I would not want to do it every day, but it could be done.

I totally agree, this thing is stupid. But oddly enough I don’t think it is anywhere close to being the worst, or the most expensive. Lets start with a better candidate for both:

Depends on how you drive and where.  I have a ‘98 K2500 Suburban 454 4.10 that is my daily driver.  Most of my commute is 55mph rural roads and I normally average 12 mpg on daily driving.  Out on the interstate at 65-70 mph I get about 13.  Even with the taller gearing the big block is not as bad as everyone says.

NP.  If it was closer I would be on my way there with cash in hand.

Ok, so I love the idea of this car, but I am terrified of the reality. All GM turbo motors frighten me, as does the current AWD platform. Am I being unduly skittish? Are these really ok? One thing I KNOW I don’t want to be involved with is the service department at the local GM dealer. I worry that buying one of these…

The other issue with the H3T, like all the GM based Hummers, was towing. These maxed out at less than 6000 pounds. Maybe of for pulling a small camper, but not enough to do any real work. The H2 did better at 8200 pounds, but still quite a bit less than the 9600 to 10500 that the 3/4 ton pickup and suburban of that…

In other words, they tested the vehicle in the configuration it will be in after the warranty has expired and all those fancy systems quit working. I really worry that these are going to train drivers to rely on them. Essentially breeding a dumber generation of drivers. Just like all the Infotainment systems and…

The Alitalia livery. Especially on the Stratos, but really works on anything.

Fun fact.  This is how “Motorola” got its name.  A contraction of Motor and Victrola.  The company thought that automotive record players would be a huge market, and wanted the name to match.

Are those....yes, I think they are.  There appear to be zip ties holding the battery in place.   CP.

Why are all the electric bikes so sportish?  I’d love an e-bike, but I hate the leaned forward riding position.  If Harley is going to build an e-bike, why not build one that appeals to riders who want a cruiser-style riding position?

Every time a horse is injured doing this, they should shoot the rider.

Driving amid the more plebeian masses is sufficient to generate rage, even in a Spitfire. Fortunately mine is a later model with the center mounted horn button. Unfortunately the size of the car and relatively anemic horns make my rage seem insignificant. But five minutes of driving the car on quiet curvy roads is…

Easy!, It was “old” when I bought it. In fact the newest thing I own is a 2003 (my motorcycle, a 2003 with 34k on the clock is the “baby” of the family).

While this state of the art technology might be fine for the “people’s car” in the 60's, the Brits were surprisingly resistant to it. I have a ‘76 Triumph Spitfire that still uses the hand pump attached to the washer switch. It actually works ok, except for the fact that the tank is only about 24oz. So one…

My favorite road sign of all time is on a bridge at deception pass in Washington State. It depicts a pedestrian on the sidewalk being hit by the side mirror of a passing RV. As usual, you know the sign is there because it happened at least once. This gave rise to the saying in our family “Beware the Yellow Prophecy.”…
