It is mind-boggling to me that they aren’t electric or electric/gas. I live in a “city” of 60,000 and an electric vehicle could easily cover its daily route and return for a charge. The reduced wear and tear alone from regen braking and not having an idling engine (or the wear on the engine from starting and stopping)…

This would have been a good opportunity for an electric fleet, even natural gas would have been better.

This is supremely cool.

All the bus driver had to say is “I was in fear for my life” and he would be found not guilty, and probably gotten a two week paid vacation as well.

I don’t think I’ve ever been more proud to be a fan of Dale than I am today. He has always been someone that I admire and respect. It’s sad that he’ll likely be the lone voice in NASCAR that’s willing to say this since those who agree will likely be too scared to voice this opinion.

Not true. Sometimes I’m shitting.

Someone else said it much better than I.

The only counterpoint worth saying, then, is simple and vulgar: Richard Petty, go fuck yourself.

To be fair, purposely blinding oncoming (and incoming) traffic was a pretty lame idea to begin with.

Sounds tacky for 1949. (America was tacky in 1949, hence Vegas, chrome, and all that shit.)

“At one point he even manages to fly alongside the main engine and the train’s conductor, who quickly slams his window shut when he finally notices the airborne intruder.”

I’m not against performance pickups, just these dumbassmobiles:

No. Short of global nuclear war, petroleum drilling and production will not go away any time soon. There are too many kingdoms (and thiefdoms) that depend on it. The developed world’s dependence of it may taper. But, I seriously doubt you will see its end in your lifetime. Hydrogen is really the best possible fuel for…

Get out of here right now.

We elected one African American to the highest office in the land and a whole lot of people freaked out about it so much that a moron who blames everything on “others” got the job next.

Yeah, but you’ve got to spend all your time in the interior, and this one looks so much better than what Chevy phoned in with the Bolt.

Depends, a straight through muffler with a perforated core reduces friction. In an equally sized system the muffler wouldn’t impede flow at all in this case and would actually flow more gas through the muffler or the core could be slightly smaller and still not effect flow (provided the transition from exhaust pipe to…

it might be worth talking to an attorney if you get a noise violation ticket because the “rules” you’re violating might not be legit at all.

Yeah, not a lot of room to spare, but the beast fits.

The amount of fake tough guys who drove these things was always hilarious.
