As a bicyclist and former motorcyclist, I agree with those who suggest a bicycle for a 3 mile commute. With all the gear you should wear to ride a motorcycle, you could be there quicker, cheaper, and more comfortably on a bicycle, in most cases.

I prefer Powerthirst.

Did you say something about Bubbles swapping cars?

And many of those short wheelbase Lotus cars are known for snap oversteer. The Elise in particular has this issue. One can learn to drive around this, but it’s not really intuitive.

Dear Dwight Schrute,

Youtube has been recommending this exact vid to me for months, it seems. I finally watched it yesterday. Excellent.

Will they ever put James Bond in his original car, the Bentley 4-1/2 liter? They really should. Any excuse to drive one fast would be pretty cool on screen.

If you have a functional mower blade ducted to the rear, does it produce any active aerodynamic advantage? It seems a bit like the sucker cars of decades ago. In theory you could have the mower deck low to the ground and the blades will act like (inefficient) fans thus creating a low pressure zone under the shroud. It…

Chrysler Crossfire, so close...

Chevy used to sell the citation. You could definitely get a citation in it.

Is gran coupe really just a sedan with too little rear headroom? I think so.

I was thinking the whole thing seems very Trumpian. Maybe these are not so different ideas.

Did you sit on the armrests as a kid? I did.

On site generation is not necessary. I think it would be interesting to have a limited number of batteries for each vehicle, charged ahead of time. This could bring in possibilities for renewable energy use, and development of batteries where maintaining charge is an important parameter.

Seattle leapfrogged this in 1988. There is a much faster way to get fast food.

Your phrasing implies that Microsoft was bought for a song by some unnamed entity. To my knowledge Microsoft has continued to be a large and influential company even after several large lawsuits and disputes over intellectual property. They still buy other companies from time to time.

This is good content. More like this please.

You can do pretty well with mid engine Ford setups. Just ask Koenigsegg. Sure, they started with the modular V-8, and it barely resembles that now. DeTomaso could start out with a Voodoo 5.2. That could be fun, couldn’t it?
