Seriously. If you went to one of those giant warehouse places that advertised go-karts and you got there and found out you had to pedal them yourself, you’d be outta there.

How about an Audi S5?

This is art...... this needs to go beyond kinja.
Yeah this really KILLS me about this whole thing; owners are making it seem like this is absolutely the end of the world for their cars, and the automotive media (and general media itself) is not making it much better.
That’s what’s pissed me off the most about this whole thing: the owners that pretend they liked the car for environmental reasons only and are the most righteous environmentally conscious people ever. I’d bet a lot that they went as far as looking at the mileage of the car, went “Yup, that’ll save me money and I can…
It’s not worth $00,000, it’s a car that gets VERY decent mileage, but yes, it “pollutes” like a car from the 90s.
I’m yet to understand the owner angst, other than lost resell value, that is simmering in this scandal.
The answer to the majority of these complaints could have simply been: “Sorry, Volkswagen is not responsible for poor financial decisions and an inability to understand/accept basic principles of economics”.
Great writeup. Best of all, you’ve pointed out there are several “bridges too far” that really lie beyond VW’s responsibility. Owning, operating, and maintaining a car costs money. For those expenditures, an owner expects to be able to drive themselves from Point A to Point B on an ongoing basis. The nastiness of…

The Nuclear Information Resource Service regulates how this stuff can be transported.
You would need an awfully long extension cord, though.
This comment, right here... everyone else who below it suggesting "easy" solutions has no freaking clue how these turbines work and the degree of materials engineering that goes in to making these rotors so big and still useful.
"As for the integrity of the wind farms themselves, current turbines can withstand wind speeds up to 112 mph (180 km/h) — the range of category 2 to 3 hurricanes"
