wouldn’t it be “both”? Cars accumulate mileage regardless of who owns them...

what is tragic about this is the fact that the City is not coordinating any of the transportation with the surrounding suburbs. The current public transport in Chicago area is all routed to/from downtown Chicago. While this works for some, there is apparent lack of public transport connection between the suburbs,…

I don’t as I work with them every day and know how the industry works. It’s the carrier’s market right now and they get to “eat” very much even when they are late nowadays as finally the shippers are being forced to pay the true market rates for loads while the ELD mandate will eliminate the need to “cheat” in order…

do you run a trucking company? If yes, I’d love to hire you. There are no punitive damages that can be assessed against the trucking companies. If they delivered your freight, even if it was late, you have to pay them the agreed rate. If he’s late, he gets to eat anyway, trust me.

have you ever had the pressing need to “check what the temperature at my house is right now when I’m sitting here in the office”. I now, I’ve never had, but perhaps i’m part of the minority...

or perhaps you didn’t take advantage of your regular programmable thermostat. I think Nest is a good option for people that still had those old thermostats that were Hg based and had to be turned from left to right manually to work but if you had an even basic $20 programmable thermostat that can change temperatures…

not the first ones to the table... Toyota and other hybrid manufacturers have been exploiting for years before tesla became relevant. All of Elon’s companies took off without public money intervention. It was either VCs or his own money to start with until clear and measurable results brought other financing options.

exactly. I may not be a fan of his boring cars but you can’t deny that Musk turns everything he touches to cutting edge. Look how much more cost effective traveling to lower earth orbit is after Space X decided to laugh into NASA’s face and launch their own rocket program. The fully electric cars are reality now…

he’s a guy with a sense of humor and is not afraid to use it. Same when he filed for trademark name for potential Tesla model “y”. It was only done to piss off Ford and the likes by having models that spell S3XY

Agreed. This guy isn’t the sort that throws money away through projects that don’t have a viable future. Keep in mind that he succeeded with some cutting edge project in his career such as PayPal, Tesla, SpaceX that were in the face of the big corporations and government agencies that were running these things in the…

yeah the brakes are nice but talk about that kid’s reaction to run in the opposite direction. I bet he’ll never cross the street again...

must have been kids that recently immigrated from USA. In other parts of the world you teach kids how to behave in traffic and you don’t stop the whole world around them so that they can safely live in their artificial protection bubble...

I’m just amazed with the power of marketing that these companies are able to deploy. To wait in lines (iPhone) for hours or days just so that you can spend your hard earned money on something that you don’t desperately need (just want) is something that I will never comprehend having grown up in communist Eastern…

Old’s-mobile... ‘nuff said...

I had the 2000 SE model in the “new body”. It was 5MT (slushy) and prety decent for the 4 years that I drove it until I swapped it for a 2002 WRX. I have to admitt that after 60k miles the tie rods where shot and the CV joints were starting to make “puk puk” noises, but overall it was a palatable commuter car...

great point. One of the very few things that I remembered from my undergrad minor in marketing is: “...innovate or die...”. Perhaps someone should send an anonymous message to HD.  

2015 GTI. After I purchased it in December of 2015 I noticed that the light comes on with still about a 1/8 of the tank left and the range shows 40 miles to empty. One day I got bored and while the fuel was getting close to the light level, I filled up a 2 gallon jug with gas, put it in the trunk and decided to run…

yes, defensive driving is fine but stops working when there are too many cars on the roads as then the congestion increases. Also, poorly designed roads and light signals. One classic example in front of my work place; 6 lane roads intersect but one of them has significantly longer green resulting in horrible line for…

this looks like Delecour. (too lazy to look up the plate number to confirm)

I had a friend of mine rent a Charger few years back and we both entered it into the local RallyCross event. It was pretty muddy but we still had fun with all of the proper fuses pulled out to ensure that the car was doing what we wanted :)
