if only you posted this 6 months ago when I was going to Europe with the family. It would have saved us from the same story, minus the Christmas opening hours worries... :)

wrong. You can the the car to speed on ice without much issues. It’s teh stopping or turning that will get you.

you fail at understanding of the concept of “global warming”. The globe temperature rising is directly responsible for storms like this that are caused by a warmer than normal weather somewhere else in the world. It’s a chain reaction and will be happening more frequently and more severely in the future.

Or he can just go to other parts of Boston, a relative or a friend perhaps. Why the hell would you want to stay in a house like that. This is near Cape Cod. you can walk for 30 min and you will be in parts of town that have no water on the street at all.

how to do you melt snow and turn it into 12 feet of water in a sub zero temps? This was as storm surge. You can watch vids of this online as it was happening yesterday.

Bolt, Volt. Must be all confusing to Spanish speaking folks.

same here. I hope to have the comfort of saying f’it by owning a gas powered toy for track fun and letting the self driving car motor me around on a boring city drives.

Looks like your work is keeping you inside a lot of other cars hence the relatively low mileage on the GTI. I have MY2015 and it will be 3 years of ownership in a few days with 64k miles on the odo. So far so good. Some electrical gremlins with one touch power windows needing a reset almost monthly plus the HVAC…

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,…

...or pull out a key and put it in the ignition. The push button start is the last thing I want in my car. Mechanical solutions are so elegant and so much better in a lot of applications, not only in cars.

you’re wrong man, it’s only “formulas”... ;)

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…
