geeze this is what mail-order was made for folks... put your token in and wait your turn. Now that it's gone global it'll be a quarter before the pent-up-demand is fulfilled and you can just walk into a retailer and sail out with one with no drama.

due to the magic of higher thermal efficiency, it's still more efficient to burn coal, transmit it long distances cross-country, chemically store it in battery, and us it to spin the wheels, than it is to burn gasoline to make cylinders go up and down.

The tacoma is based on the 4runner whereas the 7th generation hilux retains the ladder frame. between that and the lack of a diesel trim lime on the tacoma, being a hilux seems far more likley.

I ordered mine when it became possible and it arrived this morning. they're going to sell 100% of what they make for some time so it's really only a question of how and where they're being rationed.

A bad solution to a disaster is no solution. they had no product pipeline going into bankruptcy and they still don't.

on the contrary I do, and the one that reliably erases disks is a lot more powerful than the one you use on tapes, and it destroys the disks. if you're reselling used hardware they're more useful and valuable as surplus with drives.

2/3 of world nickel production is consumed by the steel industry. if we're going to keep harping on batteries for their nickel content there's a lot more things we should be giving up. like cars.

Back in 2006 while deciding on a replacement for a 15 year old subaru and my first actually new car. I applied a simple test, does it get 40Mpg?

try foreplay

magnetically erasing hard-drives is retarded. and I wouldn't trust random people to do it properly anyway...

nice exhaust cloud, what euro emissions bin does that fit in, tanks, cement trucks and diesel locomotives?
