Gitanes, for sure. I used to smoke Gauloises, and I’m sure you had to be at least 8 in France to buy those things....

“Almost at the point of saying he should be fired”? Hell, he passed the point of being fired when he arrested the VICTIM of his mistake. He should be CHARGED with malfeasance and unlawful arrest and have his @$$ in jail!

Wow, an engineer at Tesla, and he’s foolish enough to put full collision on a 20 year old, 200,000 mile vehicle, AND he’s foolish enough to get stuck in the Sierra Nevadas at the start of winter? I sure hope he makes better decisions for Tesla than he does in his personal life!

I owned 2 Beetles; a ‘66 and a ‘72. The “new Beetle” was nothing more than a Golf in Beetle clothing. If they REALLY want to bring back the Beetle as an electric, it MUST have the motor in the rear. Also, the passenger grab-handle over the glove box. Oh, and maybe they could have a speaker that gives you the old…

Man, did you look at that under-hood shot? 1 broken motor mount and it looks like your turbo is toast!

What do I want to know about the new Harley? Not a damn thing. Years ago, Harley decided that they were NOT going to innovate, but rather to go after the 55-75 year old rich male “biker wannabe” demographic. That demographic is disappearing, and so will Harley Davidson. Let’s give Harley once last cheer before they…

This used to be a common thing back 70+ years ago. My dad grew up in Philadelphia in the 1930's, and he had memories of taking the streetcar to the park along the Schuylkill river. They would pack a picnic dinner, spread a blanket out under the trees, and stay until well after dark. Thousands of others did the same…

Wait...wait....it “costs $400000 to build” and is “on par with traditional material costs”? On what planet are you located? You must be sitting in a million-dollar apartment in Manhattan to think that a cost of $400,000 for labor and materials on a very modest-sized house is anything but EXTREMELY expensive. 

While the Corvai may’ve been the pinnacle of late 50's design, the re-design in the mid 60's is a masterpiece of automotive design (especially the coupe).

Yes, it did. Ernie Kovacs was killed while driving one...or do you mean repair access? Yes, that was a problem as well.

You show a vid of cleaning the Eisenhower tunnel in Colorado, and of some European tunnel being cleaned, but unless you have one of any of the NYC tunnels being cleaned then I don’t believe they actually bother cleaning them. Last time I went through the Holland tunnel, it looked like it hadn’t been cleaned since…

No matter what you do, you need to CYA today. 

I would assume it’s more a case of an inexperienced driver over-correcting, thereby turning his vehicle into a moving pendulum.

“Absolutely carbon negative”? So, is the manufacture of the batteries carbon-negative? How about the solar panels? What about the track maintenance crews? Seriously, a little bit less hyperbole, and a few more sober facts would be nice....

Umm.....Audi is an acronym for Auto Union Deutches Industrie

Man, talk about rolling coal!

At some point, the Saudis are going to have to stop flooding the market with cheap oil (either by design, or when there reserves start to diminish), and we’ll be back to $4+/gallon gas. Let’s revisit this again when that happens. I’d like to see how the woman with the 110 mile commute feels about it then!

“ dynamo hub “? Wasn’t that a Frank Zappa song??? 

“Twenty-three percent of American drivers THINK they’ve been a victim of card skimming at the pump in the past 12 months, compared to 15% a year ago”

When I was a kid living in Colorado, I used to see a lot of the Jeep FJ’s because the Park Service used them
