Saito makes a 4 stroke R/C plane engine that displaces just 11cc.  A V55o with those pistons would be 6.0L and would fire every 1.3 degrees.

There is a part of me that desperately wants that V550 moniker to indicate an engine containing 550 tiny cylinders.  I know it would probably be physically impossible to have combustion occur at such a small scale, but I wish it was true.

well, some of the new stuff seems to be more toward a some sort of beaver teeth territory, so we might be able to add more examples to this list

This. Heck, even a cheap mini van with a trailer works too. Better fuel economy and more room to work with for tools and anything else you need for your job. Or even just a few extra seats when needed

Wow, that press photo rider has beautiful eyes. I’m in love. Can i hop on the back, please?

At least off the line, lower gearing should make it faster.  Just means a lower top speed.  The problem isn’t the gearing.  There’s just only so much you can do trying to haul ~8000lbs with 200HP.  The Jimny’s got about twice the power:weight.

So - when are we starting a scooter gang called the Turtle Kings?

Draining Lead Acid Batteries dead and then recharging them kills them quicker

Given Tesla’s recent stance, which is in line with every shitty, anti-consumer post-purchase monetization, dick-headed Silicon Valley bullshit practice I see in my data center. . .

Fuck. Them. Raw.

I’d feel about as bad about doing this to a 3 as I feel about scraping the bloatware off my Samsung Galaxy and loading up…

See, that’s the bullshit I never want to deal with.

Nissan Cabstar dual cab with a winch to pull the boat into the bed (on suitable rollers/blocks/frames/whatever you call those).
Available with tipping bed.
Costs about half your budget brand new.

I miss my i-MiEV so much. I was going to drive that thing until the heat death of the sun.

This is all the car 70% of the population would ever need. Myself included. We may WANT M-cars and AMGs and huge stupid trucks, but we certainly don’t need them.

Agreed. From what I have read, the dams had been condemned a long time ago because they couldn’t spill off excess water at a high enough rate. They got a lot of rain and exactly what people have been saying for something like 19 years happened.

The excessive rain burst the dams and led to the flood.

Came here for this. Was not disappointed.

Luckily there is no possible way for this feature to be abused.

Even if I am European, I do not understand your point about not “making more land”.

They don’t tack on a surcharge. Its built into the initial business plan, x% of net income directed to STRATEGIC reserve. Yea, doesnt mesh with modern business practices....
