The bigger question for me is heating. I doubt he’s directly heating off solar power! Heat pump? Geothermal? If non-geothermal heat pump, does he need auxiliary heating? If Geothermal, how was the install process?

Ok I'm sold on ev ownership.  But I need more details on his solar setup. How many kw's?  What's his storage setup, powerwall?  Whatever generac calls their battery?  Homemade lead acid setup?  Because if he completely cut ties to the grid he needs something.  What was his total cost of the solar and backup system?…

The most crowded sports event yes, but thankfully the attendees of the Indy 500 will be a sampling of all the people who have the best opinions on civic responsibility.

I’ve been to every 500 since I was 15, and I’ll be 40 soon. I’ve had both my vaccine shots. As a teacher, I’ve gotten comfortable in a mask for long periods at a time. As huge as that crowd number is, Indy is so big I bet the stands won’t be much more densely occupied than the Super Bowl was.

This seems like the car that fills a place for people who wanted the “big-whoosh” of the old WRX and Evo. There’s nothing wrong with these modern hot compacts, but the thing that made them fun is usually refined out.

but they do have a bridge over the Mississippi with regular barge traffic....

Have you ever ridden a Buell Ulysses and how does this compare? I really liked the Buell. I ride a Honda AT (and monkey) now. 

Regular Car Reviews. There are other car channels on youtube?

This is really, really easy. Mighty Car Mods.

I have a Surron in addition to a Ktm 300, KLX 140, and Africa Twin. It’s nice. Not great, not a dirt bike replacement, but fun. Suspension and handling is nothing like a dirt bike, it’s about the same size as a KLX140 physically but only about 100lb. The suspension doesn’t really absorb things you ride over like a…

Jared, my man, I know you want a hatch so you can sleep in it... but hear me out: There’s a better way.

I can haul a 450 dirt bike diagonally in my Subaru Baja so it will fit in here for sure.

40kw/h leaf starts at around 34k... this being a cuv I expect it to cost more.

These Dope Vehicle finds are the only slideshows that I’m willing to click through. I appreciate the effort you put in on these, Mercedes. Solid Jalop curation.

Apple is only going to bring what they tend to do everywhere else: A closed-system and brilliant industrial engineering. I am typing this on the first Apple product I ever purchased — a Macbook Air with the new M1 chip.

Well, the Apple cult is the only one bigger than Musk’s, so there’s that. And they are sitting on so much cash they gotta burn it on something!

Disagree. If it doesn’t fit the class, it’s not a GT3.

I can buy a NASCAR stock car shell and put a 2JZ in it, but it’s not a NASCAR stock car anymore.

I’ve ridden a Christini. It’s neat. Doesn’t change the handling of the bike too much, where you notice it is in muddy conditions more so than hill climbs. When you jump on the gas, the back doesn’t step out as much and the bike does get a noticeably better forward drive. It won’t help you avoid getting stuck because…
