If you had capacitors which could hold 40% of the charge that batteries could you’d just use them to power the car rather than go through batteries an intermediary.

Top Gear is fun. So is this. They aren’t the same thing, this is more a travel show that happens to be on bikes. Why so down on it?

I was shocked when I heard about him and then saw that he hadn’t been written about extensively. I am working on other things about him that I can’t be specific about. But, in the meantime, check out these two things if you’ve already:

Yes! I did. In fact, the day I learned of his passing, I went for a drive and listened to it because I just needed to hear his voice. I cried a lot that morning. But when I listened, I just smiled and laughed as he told his stories. I absolutely love when he mentions to someone that he parked Orville Wright’s car.…

Thanks so much! I’ve never written a Wikipedia article before. Maybe I should! I am still working on more about Jim. His story doesn’t end here.

Thank you. Today, I decided I was going to finally fix my idle issue on it. One of the last things we talked about was that idle issue, and Jim had told me to look for a crack right where the lower/long intake hose meets the air filter compartment. I thought I’d looked before. Went out there today, found the crack in…

I told Jim wanted to be him when I grew up

You’re right that he never wanted to be referred to as a hero. Of course, that never stopped me before. He always said he wasn’t “like those other guys who fought in Italy and did all that heroic stuff,” but Jim was heroic in countless other ways. Small ways and big ways. He lived a truly remarkable life. I hope the…

When the solution to a “sometimes” problem is rental, why not just rent a vehicle better suited for the task?

Yes.  I have driven 7500 miles in one.  Best driving appliance I have ever owned.

Not really. The batteries in EVs are not at all the same as the batteries in a power tool. The fact is that the batteries in these cars are babied to death. What do batteries hate? Heat. So these batteries are cooled with refrigerated liquid. Furthermore, they are never fully charged or discharged. They operate in a…

I’m disappointed that they didn’t name it McLaren Cars Company Certified Pre-Owned, or McLaren C3PO for short.

Can you believe this semi Black person is on TV saying blacks in America NEVER had the same opportunity as whites. ? Didn’t we have a black president for 8 years??

“This is just a factory order, and any dealer worth talking to will do it for you gladly today.”

As a guy who was an armed robbery victim while carrying a .380 in an ankle bracelet, I can personally testify that having a gun ain’t worth shit unless you’re the first one out with it. Neither is an ankle holster.

I was working for an auto repair place in the late 80's that had some cars for sale, had a call on Friday afternoon about a 911 and the guys showed up at 7pm after we closed, they walked around the car and paid the 18000 price in cash in a bag, drove the car on a trailer and drove away. I was a bit concerned so sealed…

On the second question: I would never bring cash with me for a private sale.
