Or install some turbo siren whistles on the vent. “Whooo woooooo!”

Please show me the hydrogen fuel cell vehicle that does not use a battery.

Sweet.  Where does the hydrogen come from?

I’ve bought several CPO cars and always ask to see the CPO inspection record right after I take it for a test drive.

These are awesome. I wish GM would skin one of their latest offerings with late 70's/80's sheetmetal & styling. I bet they would sell like crazy. But this is a pretty good compromise.

These are commonly used by non-military, gov agencies (think three letter) and the State Dept. overseas as well.    Many years ago I designed some structure for mounting IED jammers on these.

Actually Desert Tan - 686A (Chip #33446 from Federal Standard 595)

Special Forces have been using the Toyota HiLux for many years.

Seeing as how a mosquito weighs around 5 milligrams, I would say that the cumulative effect of mass collection is negligible. However, the impact on aerodynamics may be slightly significant as many modern vehicles are right on the bleeding edge of maximum attainable optimized aerodynamic efficiency for their size and

To be fair, modern pseudo SUV shaped vehicles have roof racks with weight ratings in the tens of pounds.  Hoods, however, are unrated which means anything goes I guess.

Except the car isn’t dressed up to look like a Mountain Dew bottle and everybody can agree that it does not contain any refreshing beverages, except maybe some tasty coolant.

If that’s true, why bother to put fake headlight stickers and branding all over them to make them loosely resemble the real car?

But the fans do... and it makes my head explode. “Look, it’s a SUPRA!”  Umm, nope.  It’s a tube chassis thing that says Supra on the side.

Pardon my ignorance on such things, but how much does the NASCAR Supra have in common with a Supra that one will be able to buy off a dealer lot. I’ve long assumed it is zero percent (for all makes/models). If that is correct, is this tube chassis thing that sort of resembles a passenger automobile still a Supra?

The original gives me MAGAbumps. I assume it is the house music at every Trump rally.  The new music sounds like something you’d hear in oneathose shithole countries.

This makes me wonder if there is/will be a market for a big truck with a huge generator on the back that will recharge your stranded EV for a nominal fee ($$$$) [browsing gov auction sites for a big fucking generator and thinking of a company name to register]

According to the Ambassador Bridge website, 25% of all merchandise trade between Canada and the US crosses that bridge.  Every time I have crossed the bridge I have found it to be maze-like in the approach from the US side with peculiar never-ending construction always occurring.  I welcome an alternate crossing that

I thought Mexico was gonna pay for it.
