yes!

I agree with you about particle board but there are all different grades of plywood, including marine grade and aircraft grade, that would be excellent for a camper if a bit expensive.

The Lancair Evolution, with the Lycoming TEO-540-A2A piston engine, cruises at 270kn with a fuel burn of 22gph. Economy cruise at 240kn and 17.5gph.

That’s the special anti-tailgating feature that most domestic autos include at no extra cost after a decade or so.

Mazda’s Skyactive-D engine is arguably the most technically advanced diesel made for cars. There’s always room for the best in any market.

This is the part of the car sale that is confusing to me. I’m a cash buyer and how can I bring a bank check when I haven’t negotiated the price yet—especially if the dealer is a long way from home?

The wierdest car glitch I’ve ever experienced was that my Honda 600 sedan would not stay where I parked it. Several times I would park it in one parking spot and when I came back it would end up in a completely different spot. Four or more strong pranksters could pick up the car by its bumpers and move it. College…

WD-40 used to be cheap but they’ve jacked up prices too much. They must have MBAs running the show there now. I’ve moved on to Walmart’s generic equivalent, Supertech Lubricant spray. It works like WD-40, smells like WD-40 and costs like WD-40 of yesteryear.

The “right thing” would be pay for your mistake?

Twenty years ago Toyota predicted that hybrids would be popular and today nearly every car maker sells one. Today, Toyota sees more promise in hydrogen fuel cell tech than in batteries. I suspect they may be right again.

Yep. Smallest manned twin-engine aircraft. There’s an electric motor version too.

The i3 electric motor was awarded one of Ward’s Automotive Top 10 Engines award this year—the only electric motor on the list. What makes this motor so special?

“...While there’s no Hybrid for the 2016 model year, you can still pick up a 2015...”

“...Subaru became a lifestyle choice, not a car company...”

When I bought my brand new VFR700, the dealer let me drive away with only 16psi of pressure in the tires. The handling felt incredibly stiff and weird. I finally pulled into a parking a little ways down the road to see what was up and the bike just flopped over as I turned into a parking space.

What a gorgeous car!

Speaking of toothless agencies, California’s smog check program effectively says you must keep your car in good operating condition, emissions wise, unless you are poor or unless your car is old. Not surprisingly, the worst polluters are old cars that belong to poor people. The EPA stepped in and said, no. You must…

Again. Only this time each vehicle carries a passenger and luggage for two.

Good to hear congress is considering legislation to force other airbag makers to increase production. Maybe they could legislate a cure for cancer while they’re at it.

The airline industry has given us a good example of what will happen. Airliners are highly automated vehicles. Many can take off, land, and complete the entire trip little pilot intervention. In an accident, it’s most convenient for the airlines and airliner manufacturers to blame pilot error (especially if the pilots…
