E. Coli is a bacteria that already resides inside the stomach of every warm-blooded organism on the planet and it is completely harmless to humans unless it is ingested orally. This filter blocked air molecules of a bacteria that can only be transmitted in pathogenic form by someone literally eating shit. That they wou…

I see that the “left” still believes it won the Democratic primary. Unfortunately, the results showed that the section of the party that consists of the liberal, mainstream, actual Democrats that believe in Clinton(maybe less so), Obama, and Biden is slightly larger than the so-called “progressive wing” that consists…
The fact that software like this even existed speaks volumes about the innovative and forward-thinking mindset that Chevrolet had inside their building at the time. In the 1980's, this is something you might expect from Buick and you definitely expect it from bubble-era Japan. But Chevy? As for this program’s…
My 9 year-old E550 will lock/unlock without me physically touching anything. It unlocks as you reach for the door handle and locks if you wave your hand in front of the door handle. It has a physical keyhole behind the ignition button that comes in handy for rare times when the electronic starter may not have enough…
A company that is still making the same shitty vehicles they were 10 years ago, when manufacturers like Hyundai and Kia were making far shittier vehicles (I was “gifted by insurance” a 09 Kia Amanti rental when my E39 540i had a little body work done), is having serious trouble selling them in a market where Hyundai…
You know one advantage of nuclear power though? Those two compact pressure-water reactors that provide the electric power for all of the on-board life and all of the systems and all of the shaft horsepower that propels 100,000 tons of steel through the open ocean at 35 knots? The Gerald R. Ford could park at a dock…

The Space Shuttle simply never registered itself in American public consciousness. After NASA aimed for and delivered the greatest technological and engineering achievement in the history of humankind, they forever struggled with what to do next. I am the most avid supporter of space exploration and was disappointed…
Florida Man just found out that a person who is asymptomatic and has no reason to believe that he has the virus might accidentally kill off 75% of his geriatric constituency by hanging out in public.
Every time I drop my E550 off for service at the local MB dealership, they give me a brand new vehicle as a loaner. What I have learned is that I wouldn’t trade my 2011 E-Class for anything that they currently offer. The German luxury sedan that dominated the world for 30 years is no longer a thing. I’m not interested…
They are indeed. I live off the last exit of a small Bay Area freeway before it merges into Highway 101, way down at the very south of what people consider San Jose. From the second-to-last exit to mine, there is a 1.5 mile stretch of open freeway that has never has traffic of any type in the outside lane. I will…
I’m just impressed at the way they marketed the shit out of the engine in this brochure. This is a production 900 cc two-stroke, 3-cylinder engine, making 38 horsepower. The theoretical maximum speed of the car in this brochure was 76 mph. The prototype made 34 HP and had a maximum speed of 71 mph. This is 1956. The…
in 2017, 47 Carnival cruise ships emitted ten times more sulphor oxide in and around Europe than the total output from all 260 million passenger vehicles on the continent.
The EU cares so deeply about emissions, their regulations are poised to cull the 8 and 12 cylinder internal combustion engine and save the world.…
I read “The Winter Fortress” and I’ll be buying this!
Top speed was hardly what defined the McLaren F1. It isn’t the greatest supercar ever built because it set a world record for the fastest production car. It’s the greatest supercar ever built because its a pure driver’s car, and because a quarter century after its introduction it will still blow nearly away every…
Mig vs. Fiero, yup this is still the FF that we know and love.
Not JATO. Just an afterburning turbojet on top of a Fiero, which is undoubtedly racing the Mig-15 in the background. Can’t say we should expect anything less from FF.
There are a multitude of reasons why it is completely understandable to be unwilling to purchase this vehicle. Your personal financial wherewithal certainly is near the top of them. But if anyone is going to make the claim that the listed price for this vehicle, assuming it does not have any underlying mechanical issue…
Meanwhile in Soviet Russia, the Politburo member in the Lada raced the peasant in wooden shoes across the collective farm, neither was ever heard from again. You do not disappear in USSR. Stalin disappears you.
