So they want to be considered an automobile in order to qualify for tax breaks, tax credits, and grants, but they don’t want to be classified any automobile for crash standards? As I understand, these vehicles would be classified as motorcycles in most states which means that the driver would have to have a motorcycle…

Doug Demuro talked about some of the challenges of that when he had his Nissan GT-R. Besides the obvious like drive thrus the most difficult part for him was staying in his lane. He said you don’t realize how accustomed you are to your body being on the left side of the lane to center the car. He said if he wasn’t…

It looks like that you still pay taxes.

I’m not a fan of Tornado Red, nor do I care for the wheels. However, the black side mirrors are nice. I had immediately searched the stock number before finishing the article. I checked the comments to make the same statement, but you beat me to it.

In that case I will neglect to inform them about that credit card debt I have in which I am also behind on payments. Have you ever looked at a credit report? It shows which lines of credit you have, how long you’ve had that line of credit, how many payments you have made on time, how many payments you have missed, how…

Only if it is organized by our AI overlords.

How shall the entity you are attempting to gain credit from analyze your financials? The credit bureaus are a centralized agency that collects and consolidates your financial data from nearly all of the lenders who voluntarily provide this information to them with your permission. Having the data consolidated reduces…

Once trucks go autonomous will Fast and Furious 9 be a “return to form” for the series and involve the team using Civic Type R’s to force the autonomous trucks carrying OLED TVs and Apple TVs to stop and reroute to their will?

All of the data that they have was voluntarily provided to them with your permission...if you have ever applied for any kind of loan/credit card. Credit/lending agencies need to conduct some kind of risk analysis prior to issuing loans. These agencies consolidate the information provided to them by such lenders to…

It’s not significantly different when looking at reaction times, braking force, and acceleration rates WHEN TRAVELING IN A STRAIGHT LINE ON A SIMULATOR. The study is also from 2006. Is hands free involving a headset which isolates the sense of hearing from ambient or was it over the radio like nearly every new car…

I once rented a V6 Camaro that had only 5 miles on the odometer when I picked it up. I ensured that it had a “proper” break in.

I’m not saying that talking isn’t a distraction, but I am pointing out that on top of the distraction you are now hindered in your ability to fully control the vehicle which has now made things even worse.

Talking on phone while using 1 hand completely dedicated to the phone leaving only one hand available to steer and use turn signals, etc. vs. Talking over thin air while having both hands on the wheel and free for any driving tasks at all time. Yeah... totally the same.

Perhaps people want an official and legal device that is simply plug and play.

HP/L is a metric that means absolutely nothing. When it comes to performance what matters most is power, weight, packaging, and fuel economy to an extent. Ignore displacement, ignore the number of cams, and only look at the engines as a product of torque, power, weight, and external dimensions. Given equal power and…

Saying the LT engines aren’t sophisticated nor technologically advanced is on par with fake news. The torque curve of the 6.2L LT1 engine is comparable to the low end torque of the 7.0L LS7. It has direct injection and cylinder deactivation (something that the Coyote doesn’t have, yet). It also utilizes continuous…

The 5.0 Coyote is also used in the F150... It’s just as much a truck motor as an LS/LT motor.

The current Vortecs V8s and V6s used in trucks are LT based.

Beyond them already having a prior connection with Ford engines. Ford has a presence in Great Britain whereas GM does not. Taxes there are also based on displacement. Even if the LT1 is smaller, lighter weight, gets better fuel economy, etc., it will get penalized just because it has more displacement.

The prices will go up once they hit the 25-year limit because the supply will only dwindle before then while the available market, and thus demand, will grow.
