"patience" and "generosity" are tattooed across his knuckles.

Having driven both, I would personally go with the Porsche. As they say, there is no substitute. The RC-F is an amazing car, but the Porsche is magical.

A nice engine, but I'd be more inclined to give it to its successor, the S54B32.

Doug is like the guy who signs up for Obamacare and promptly doubles everyone's premium by getting diagnosed with ALS, Leukemia, HIV, and Doug DeMuro's Syndrome. That last one is rare.

I think you should owe me a slice of the action here if I am helping deflate auction values.

On top of the battery issue Mikey mentioned, even if the overall system efficiency for pure electric is higher (by how much?), hydrogen could still provide a much larger range and, I would guess, much higher durability compared to batteries.

Uh...that's their 2.9 straight six.

Because you haven't limited it to reciprocating piston engines, therefore I can choose something that shows every other answer is wrong.

"Hydrogen vehicles are overall still more efficient"

Carbon fiber bolt-ons and finned covers do not make an engine a work of art.

Obligatory

That's because Corporations are people, but people aren't Corporations.

Love it or hate it, but it's polarizing to look at.

"and this is different from electric cars exactly how?"

Electricity to power what? Batteries don't store pure electricity. They still have to undergo one chemical process or another to capture those electrons. Hydrogen is a similar concept, except not all ways of generating it are electrically based.

BMW S70/2 Used in the McLaren GTR

As someone who recently traded his BMW for a Toyota, who has an 11 month old son and another child due in March, a 401k, and who is currently researching 529 plans, I think you articulated it perfectly when you wrote that "you prevent yourself from buying silly things by hiding your own money from yourself." I'm

Tell me about it. I've got a gremlin in our Passat tranny (most likely some $50 sensor) and 3 opinions so far have been "it's better to just spend $3500 replacing it than $1000 continuing to diagnose it, only to probably spend $3500 anyway!"

It would still be from coal. Nuke plants typically run at 100% unless they are on their final months of a fuel cycle, then we typically run at ~97% because we dont have as fresh of fuel. Hydro and Nuclear are typically the base loads for the grid, with coal and the "green" sectors making up the rest, it is easier to
