Musk won’t go to Mars until the government there gives him a subsidized city and tax abatements.

Personally, with the claims pending against Musk?  This is all about having no extradition treaty back to Earth from Mars.

Or, you could bring it back to reality— the health physics of spaceflight pretty much guarantee that everyone going to Mars will arrive with 100% macular degeneration— blind.

In an unrelated aside, I’ve often thought that the “long awaited Subaru diesel boxer” would have been ideal for the Experimental Aircraft market— good power in a light package, power delivered at a lower speed consistent with a direct drive prop.

There is some irony that a writer based in America’s Zion can talk about coffee, but...

Sadly, a lot of people who promised to move to Canada in 2016 never actually did it. I guess it’s more fun to whine for four years.

Skeptic here, but that’s looking pretty good!

This fever will break soon.... These were crappy cars then, and crappy rusted-out cars now.

Well, yeah, but “Union Carbide” was badly hit by COVID this year...

That would be a “fleet electric vehicle”...

First: Ford’s got this one nailed. “Local delivery” is a perfect application for eVans, so they should excel here.  Maybe this makes up for the silly E-Mustang thing?

I’ve looking for an old-timey GMC from the 1970s and have run into a couple of 502 Ramjet Big Blocks, one with turbo, which will make that old pile of aluminum and fiberglass fly. maybe literally, because, er, “aero effects”.

Heh, a couple of the classic GMC crowd have done Turbo Ramjet 502s...  that really perks up a heavily armed recreational vehicle!

Congrats! And now you’re too good for us...

The dirty little secret is that these could be the most profitable, by maring percentages anyway, of and current GM product.

Express and Savana have been around, basically with light changes, for well over 30 years on the same design.

Oddly, the Express and Savana could be the most reliable vehicles GM has ever built-- to save tooling they only get the most mature drivetrains.  And, face it, under the skins the design hasn’t changed since the Reagan administration.

That Sandy Munro comment in Torch’s video about the $800 Changli was telling— “Even this cheap Changli has tighter panel gaps than a new Tesla...”
