That clears things up. Thanks.

I’m mostly in agreement, except for that last sentence considering the newfound use of drones in the Ukraine-Russia war.

“Billions of people around the globe will soon be buying products proudly stamped ‘Made in the USA.’”

It’s not that hard. I got to drive one at a local museum. It’s like driving a car with a different manual shift pattern, you quickly adapt. And they are so slow you have plenty of time to think about it. Ultimately, they are kind of like driving a lawn tractor in that you set the throttle to whatever and just mostly go…

Personally, I prefer that the engineers who build my cars give at least a passing thought to ease of servicing them, not just making them as cheap as possible to assemble.

You mean that there’s only a range of height that’s safe for pedestrians and either direction mentioned doesn’t go up to infinity???

Years ago one of our trains hit a car stopped at a level crossing. The last thing the crew saw before impact was the young female driver had turned to face the train, smiling and waving goodbye.

god wait until he sees the upcharge for getting the very very front row seat.

this is how the gauge changing process looks like from underneath:

however; the Rotterdam city council denied Oceanco’s petition and the boat was moved to a different shipyard with without its masts early in the morning.

His name is Schnell? How great is that!

I want to send this so hard. I’ve never wanted to send anything more in my life, but this? My gosh. I would send it and then send it some more. It must be sent. The 911 Dakar is begging: “Send Me.” It belongs in low-earth orbit, competing with satellites for send height and duration. I’m glad they’ve though about…

On the Radio:

I own one. Other than SYNC3 having some frustrating aspects, it’s quite nice, and I will miss its size when I have to replace it with something comparatively massive.

People said the same about Honda, Toyota, Kia, Hyundai...

Still not as complicated as starting the real thing. At least you don’t have to spend hours pumping hot water into it to unfreeze the internals.

There are many good candidates which I am sure are going to be nominated, so why not go with one of the originals? The Lancia V6 engine.

AEB is only intended to reduce the severity and likelihood of a crash, it’s not intended to prevent all crashes. And the former is all that is necessary to significantly increase the safety of cars today (as cars without this feature previously did nothing to actively prevent crashes).

I hear diesel just falls from the sky and is collected in buckets. Definitely zero downsides to this way of getting diesel.  It also produces nothing more than water, oxygen, and trace amounts of Old Spice when burned, so it’s great for the environment.

Perhaps you missed this line “Pagani says the first series of Utopia coupes – all 99 of them – have already been spoken for.”
