I’ll definitely be going EV next time I’m in the market for a new/near new car. Adding to that is that as it’s almost impossible to get a manual car anymore so I figure if I’m going automatic why not just go single speed.

I definitely don’t love vroom vroom noises more than I love my family or this planet.

The second word in Bad Cop Being Bad is why.

People will almost certainly build conversion kits for existing (by then classic) cars. BMW made a dual fuel V12 7 series 15 years ago.

So what you’re saying is patriotic styled taillights should be a thing. Two birds with one stone and all.

NHTSA did a study on it in 2009 and showed a 5.3% reduction in collisions when comparing amber vs red for the same vehicle. It’s a larger improvement than the centre, high mounted brake light.

Try having controls where right hand is front brake and left hand is rear in your brain from 25 years of experience and then moving to a country where that’s the opposite. It’s painful hahaha.

I’m excited for Honda to make the electric Super Cub. That is definitely the dream commuting bike. Plus starting to take all of the existing ones off the streets all around the world will be great of air quality.

As someone who still occasionally gets fooled by the American way of combining almost all taillight functions into a single bulb, having separate indicators in a distinct colour is a significant safety improvement.

Once that single bulb is gone you have much less indication of what a person is doing. Indicators in the…

See I’m thinking of hydrogen so we can still have cars (both street and race) that make vroom vroom noises.

I had a 1997 Toyota Corolla sedan, 1.6L 4afe, 5spd manual for almost a year when I live in Tasmania. I put 30000km (20000mi) on that car in that time, almost all of the mountain passes done at maximum attack. It went low level off roading, logging trails, some beach driving. Pretty much anywhere I felt game to go,…

When they made weed legal in my state, the police in my city publicly said “but what reason are we going to use to pull people over and search their cars now?”.

Well, back to the drawing board.

The TSA I went through recently had a brand new xray machine for bags and they were actively telling people to just leave everything in their bag. it was amazing to not have to take out my gigantic laptop, nor my shoes off at a TSA line.

While I was waiting on the other side I could see the screen and it was quite…

Agreed. Coworker has one, in the last couple of months it has had an oil leak at the turbo, full evap system replacement, ECM replacement, water pump and a number of coolant lines replaced.

Ford Fiesta ST engine anyone?

With 1000ftlb does it mean I can finally tow a small trailer without endangering my whole family due to my lack of a one tonne truck?

“Nearly 60% of the world’s agricultural land is used for beef production, yet beef accounts for less than 2% of the calories that are consumed throughout the world.”

They had terrible efficiency (22mpg highway), awful turning circles, the design made them very difficult to work on, they rusted, they were slow, the transmission was awful, the engine was noisy.

I thought about that one too.

It did make me check and then see that Tekkaman was 1992 so qualifies for the list.

When TSMC (the best in the business) announced that they are expanding all aspects of their business, they budgeted $100 billion (with a b) to be spent in the next three years.

Intel has spent the best part of a decade trying to get down to the next level of process technology and failed until recently.
