I’m thinking the basic trouble here is there is no factual evidence (at this point, at least as far as what the article tells us) that it was a rental scooter at all. There are actually laws that prevent the kind of information dragnetting that this guy is asking for.

Looks cool, totes agree ...but intuitive? Absolutely not to anybody who’s ever driven a normal car. And not to anybody who’s never driven a car either. There is nothing “intuitive” about the stupid non-traditional transmission control devices that so many automakers have been shoving into cars over the last decade or…

Bah. I was a decades long subscriber to both Motorcyclist and Cycle World when Bonnier fucked them up. I cancelled both scrips after a couple issues proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that they were utter garbage compared to how they were before. The ‘new’ Motorcyclist’s photography was second only to the fucking worst…

Life long California resident here, born and raised in Sacramento county. There are tons of stupid laws on the books all across Cali, both state and local laws, and once you get over the umbrage when you hear about the stupidity, you can then take into account what the actual real world effect is.

Here’s a thought ... these plasma doohickies (ahem) are going to be physically separate from the cylinder heads and inserted into them, kinda like a plug. And to the naked eye most people will not differentiate a “plasma pulse” from a spark. So what are we going to call these new fangled doohickies that ‘spark’ and…

I am a child of the 70's ... all the cars that yoots of today mock, despise, laugh at ... they were cars I desired and aspired to as a youngun. First car I ever owned was a well-used 76 Dodge Aspen R/T (slower than dogshit but so so so cool looking). Favorite car I ever owned (out of about 10 cars now in my lifetime)…

So .... the moral of the story is “those who can do, do; those who can’t do, teach”.

Too many people on this site haven’t even visited rural America and have no idea just how big or car focused it is.

That NPR article is an utter load of SJW crap. Just because some asshole created racist lyrics to an existing and NON RACIST melody, that does NOT make the melody racist or based on racism or any other bullshit like that.

The only people who seem to have a real problem with this are the people who reject smart bulbs as a concept.

It’s all so weird yet real, it’s scary.

Who says “mult-eye-verse”???

No no no no no ... ALL body kits are bad. Period. They all always make the car uglier, or at least stupider looking. Any car, any kit.

Umm ... hydrogen “powered” cars ARE electric cars. The H2 is used to generate electricity which then powers the motors. There is no “somehow” necessary, it’s not an ‘either or’ condition.

I do not know the laws in LA regarding the electrified kiddy scooters (i.e., are they required to be on the roadway? Are they allowed on sidewalks?) but personally I think they should be 100% banned from sidewalks. Users of these dangerous toys are not pedestrians. In most of California it is illegal for bicycles to…

The gig economy is crushing idiots and enriching those smart enough to understand that you can’t make a decent living as an “at will ride hail driver” but you can make money by exploiting stupidity. Nobody is forced to be an uber/lyft driver. People sign onto the program without understanding what they are getting…

I went to the Magic Castle once, about 20 years ago iirc ... at least back then you could only get in by invitation of a member. The food was good, the shows were fun for the most part. I watched the acts with an open mind but was slightly disappointed in one guy whose sleight of hand was too slow and his misdirection…

More paranoid ranting by safety nazis / clueless individuals. How many people do you know that are adults? Guess what that means ... they all survived childhoods where they were carted around in vehicles that are far less safe than the safest vehicles available today. Clueless individuals are all twisted up about…

Wow, does everyone here seriously lack the imagination to see this?
