I sell tech, and just got a demo of this and it is actually pretty amazing. One of the more stunning examples is it’s ability to compile PowerPoint presentations with input from dozens of documents, images, and even conversations, in just a few moments. It’s probably not something a normal user will benefit much from,…

It 100% was based on the Eclipse.

Make it 300 miles (which actually means 200 in highway driving) and I’m right there with you. I like the Mazda’s approach though; an EV drivetrain recharged with a constant RPM rotary.

He’s accidently correct... the Stealth’s underpinnings and engine were from a Mitsubishi 3000GT, and the Dodge Avenger was an Eclipse.

It’s easy to look back with 20/20 vision. When I was younger, my mom told me that my grandma had a ‘57 Bel-Air. I was so stunned that she didn’t keep it until she mentioned “It was like a Ford Taurus to them.” My brother had a ‘99 S2000 when it was new, and before that a ‘97 Prelude SH, both cars that would be worth…

ABS doesn’t shorten the braking distance in most situations, especially in older iterations. I’m guessing this experience was from the 80's or 90's, since now-a-days I believe ABS is required. 

You are “The California Science Center”? That’s cool, I didn’t realize it was sentient.

The third owner might.

This event will be pretty cool but nowhere near as amazing as the 2017 event (I flew from LA To SLC and then drove 5 hours to see it). This is annular, meaning it will only get a little dimmer, and at no point can you look directly at it without serious eye protection. 2017 and the forthcoming 2024 eclipses were…

Both Rivian and Lucid are taking the same path as Tesla as far as affordability goes. Their first version needs to be expensive and a “Halo” car to grab attention. There are already plans for the Rivian R2, and after the Lucid Gravity, I’m sure they will get to work on a smaller, less expensive model. 

It would be better if they just rolled one of those telepresence robots up to the window. This way I don’t have to proactively download an app that I will hopefully never use. Plus, there’s got to be thousands of these things available on the second hand market, considering their fad use during COVID.

You only pay the higher percentage on the monies over that amount... so pay 22% on all the income from $44,726 - $95.375, but still only 12% on the first $44,725, then pay whatever the percentage for all monies in the next tax bracket is. You don’t pay the higher percentage on ALL of the income, only on the income in…

The system doesn’t “Punish” you for trying to be rich. Our tax system is hilariously beneficial to the wealthiest, and most punishing to the middle class. We have brackets, so you don’t get taxed on ALL of your income, you get taxed different rates on different parts, and only if you make that amount after all your…

That is a regressive tax. Driving then becomes a more financially impactful task to poor people, then it does to the rich. It’s the same reason small fines are pointless to the wealthy. It’s just a small tax for breaking the law, often times the fine is far smaller than the amount of profit they make from breaking the…

This town is just like a shell company to buy and sell city cars... but where do they get the tax money to even buy cars? 

One persons positive experience does not negate the thousands of people that had negative experiences. Just google BMW SMG II. You will find most articles are written in the negative.

I had a 2001 330ci with a proper manual, and a coworker had the same car (2003) with an SMG. While both our cars had issues, his was out of comission for several weeks, multiple times due to the SMG master cylinder and servos. Were these even faster 0-60 than the stick cars?

E46 with the SMG. Not only was it horrifically unreliable and terrible to drive, it also made finding an actual 3 pedal E46 difficult, since every website and used car lot listed it as “manual”.

I’m SO gonna make the Roci from The Expanse.

Pretty sure you have a typo... “Riot, according to a press release, only actually mined 333 bitcoins during that month, which comes out to around $8.9 billion.”
