My favorite is the 2.5 or 2.75 tune, where they only did half the shit to make a stage 3 tune run safely and reliably. Classic. 

yep. where the aero B concept was a simple, attractive longroof wagon, this is chasing the saab-wannabe liftback pseudo-crossover look that’s de rigueur

IANAL, but I’m pretty sure license plates aren’t personal property.  They belong to the state, even while they’re attached to your car.

It’s even easier to do with the screens, in fact Saab did it in their 9-3 from 2007 onwards with their Infotainment+ system (the optional touch screen stereo/navigation system in the centre console) - when you enabled “night panel” (the feature that switched off illumination for the unnecessary dashboard and console…

The very thing that makes this seem more difficult should actually make it less. Dimming or “dark mode” is old tech for widgets and digital displays. And for this money I’d think the level of display tech controlling your HUD should be at least on par with 20 year old video games.

driver was subsequently arrested and charged with multiple crimes in connection with the incident

Imagine if they stopped trying after the first Wright Bros. flight where they only got 120 feet.

Also, cost of operation. Alice is said to cost 1/5th that of a conventional aircraft to operate and maintain. That means short hop flights are going to be stupid cheap.

The journey to electrified vehicles is going to be full of “niche” products.  Its going to be baby steps for a while.  And it will take a while.  Thats why timelines are in decades, not years.

“Regional airlines Cape Air and Global Crossing Airlines, both based in the U.S., have placed orders for 75 and 50 Alice planes, respectively. Cape Air says it flies more than 400 regional flights per day in cities across the U.S. and Caribbean, and the Alice could “easily” cover 80 percent of its flights.”

The room can presumably be used as a bedroom or other room the rest of the time.

For me it wouldn’t be the penny-pinching, it’d be the perfectionism.

In the case of a friend of mine, retire from being a private detective!

1.2% reduction so easily.... This is the “easy” solutions that’s needed to add up to what’s actually needed to slow down climate change from we’re fucked to we’re less fucked.

Speaking of “the 116 range-topper was the 450 and eventually the 450 6.9"...

I was at a wedding and noticed this guy who seemed really awkward. It took a while before I realized that the 6'1" guy in the suit was, in fact, 14 years old.

If Dodge didn’t want their cars to get stolen, they shouldn’t dress them up so provocatively.

My family owed a 1973 450 SE in the mid-80's. My dad, a school teacher, had wanted nothing more than to own a Mercedes. Unfortunately he had to settle for a car my mom eventually dubbed “Hitler’s Revenge”. I dare say the repair bills from the 2 years we owned that car caused my dad to retire a full decade later than…

I complained to Google about this article showing up in a search for "license plate readers".  It is actually against license plate readers.

If someone’s trying to prepare their first cup of coffee in the morning, they probably are tired and aren’t thinking clearly. Or maybe it’s a microwave over the range or built into a counter, and they can’t see all the way into it without standing on something or bending over.
