Had one with the V6 and manual. Great all-around car - handled well, was quick enough, had room for 4 and a decent trunk. And it was great on long road trips. 

Of note, Supernal is not a startup with investment from Hyundai - they are a division of Hyundai. Also, while they may be ready for production in 2028, there is still the matter of going through a lengthy and costly FAA certification process before they can start commercial service. These are the type, production,…

Hyundai’s VTOL efforts have been going on for several years now and they are serious about it (as are several others big huge $$ backing). And not only are they developing the aircraft, they are also developing the support infrastructure such as the vertiports and the software management systems for vertiport…

AH, you are correct!

Lucky for the pilot and passenger that they were in a DA instead of an old Cesna. These planes are designed with passenger safety in mind - impact absorbing seater, passenger safety cell, fire mitigating fuel tank designs in the wings and parachute - although the fire thing did not work in this instance and they were…

What’s with Caddy’s new stupid model names? Vistiq, seriously??

Not my worst, but certainly the most annoying 2 traffic stops within 10 miles of each other. I picked up a 1985 Peugeot 505 GL Wagon (white over blue vinyl, 5-speed, manual windows) in NY in the Summer of 1995 and drove it back to CA with a friend, mostly on HWY70.

There are a ton of these in the Bay Area where I live. They are the new Teslas around here where one out of 5 cars are Model 3s (I call them the new Beverly Hills Corollas. If you remember the first Lexus, it might ring a bell). I was going to put a deposit one one several years ago, but procrastinated, then they…

Hey Ryan - It’s Mikumi National Park, not Mikuma

Still buttugly. And what’s with the stupid wart thing on the C pillar? Serves no function or purpose. And don’t get me started on the name K.I.A.

Looking at the track log, on final he was well over 100mph - roughly 30 over stall speed. Given that this aircraft type has a very high stall speed, poor glide ratio, and very poor stall behavior. He may have come in too hot, misjudged his approach, and landed too far down the runway. Whatever happened, it was most…

Looking up the tail number I can confirm that the aircraft is a PropJet 4. This no longer available model has a turboprop configuration instead of a piston powerplant. Reverse thrust is generated through reverse pitching the prop, known as “beta range.” Also, these planes are experimental, and sold as kits. With…

I see these things all over Northern California with “RC” stickers on them. Each time they seem to get uglier.

Test drove a blue Viggen Coupe when they were new. So much torque steer and the front wheels struggled to lay down the power off the line. Did not sound that great either and that typical notchy Saab shifter didn’t help. And, although this one does not have it, the dash had this textured enamel looking plastic facia…

Green is one of my favorite color on Porsches, but I prefer the darker Forrest Green or Irish Green.

After owning American, British and German cars including Fords, Rovers and Audis, I reluctantly went for a Japanese brand that would fit my growing family’s requirement for a spacious, and reliable 3 row SUV. My wife and I looked at Audi A7, BMW X7, Volvos XC90, Mercedes GLS, and came to the realization that while…

Aside from most any road in Africa, my scariest road was Baja 1 on several trips in the early 90s, starting in TJ and stretching down the peninsula to Cabo. While lots of sections were paved smooth with wide lanes, things went south after you passed Ensenada. The road is raised in many areas with no shoulder and there…

Best car I’ve ever owned! Had a 2002 that I bought in ‘04 and loved every minute of it until it got totaled at 95K. The car was unstoppable driving through whiteout conditions in the Sierras, ate miles in total comfort on long road trips up and down the CA coast, and handled decently in the twisties. It even performed…

I had a 2002 that I bought in ‘04 and had it until it was totaled at 95K. The car was in the shop at least 3 times per year for major work but I did not care. I got the silver or platinum Audi extended warrantees every 3 years that covered the yearly $10K maintenance bills at a fraction of the cost. Plus my dealer…

Love the L322 as it closely adheres to the design language of the original RR, which to me is the purest design form for a SUV. Also, biased. I own one.
