Aircraft do have mufflers, but most of the noise you hear is from the prop tips.

Although it’s not clearly indicated in the paragraph, that figure is from the referenced Santa Clara County study, and represents children under the age of five years old.

“And no most folks aren’t rich kids learning to fly as hobby theres a lot of young folks looking to make careers and older folks switching careers.”

Or hydrogen filled, and blimp shaped. We could name them after a famous rock band....

Sorry, we’ve been defunded and disbanded because we’re bad for business, and nothing can be allowed to be bad for business.

Because for some of us, the advantages you present are disadvantages. For 99 percent of what I do, I don’t need ground clearance and a ton of suspension travel, but I still want to be able to carry a ton of stuff. And you can tow with wagons, just not as much.

I have a nice idea how to fix this “problem”. Exactly 5 minutes before the qualifying/race starts a coin is flipped. The coin decides if the oval is going to be driven clockwise or counterclockwise. The cars cannot be modified in any way after the direction has been decided.

As someone who prefers GT racing, this is very funny to me. You want a symmetrical setup? Force compliance through track configuration. Stop making left turns the only turns, eliminating or at least mitigating the advantage of an asymmetrical setup. You wouldn’t even have to change the track exactly, make everyone pit…

Very mildly, For the rich, it’s been a veritable golden shower.

Life is a mean teacher.

I’ve done this several times. Once I was describing the actual mistake to my dad while I was driving him in his Lexus LS, and sure enough, as I came up to a light I pressed the clutch with authority, to coast to a stop. Only the seatbelt stopped me from turning my father into an unguided missile.

I remember when my Commodore was in the shop (some silly prick had run into the back of it at a traffic light) and the loaner was a Corolla. First automatic I’d ever driven.

This is not a large car

Read about the Packard Plant Project and how that ended.

The history in the AMC and Packard plants is important enough to try and save and reuse what can be.

I worked there from 1999-2002 and it was an amusingly-disjointed building to work in. The route from Point A to Point B often took you through Points C, D, E, F, and G.

I don’t understand this “it should be a hatch/wagon” crowd. Everything else in the world is a fucking hatch/wagon, so why are you all trying to eliminate the 3% of remaining non-hatch vehicles?

Its amazing that generally cold countries are leading the way in EV adoption, especially when everyone in US has range anxiety with any EV with 200 mile or less range. The countries leading the way experience harsher winters yet they don’t seem to mind the decreased range in the cold.

Any actual pictures of the key or the where the ignition is on the dash/column?  Does the key go into the center console like an older Saab? That would be the best.
