Nobody remembered the need to bring caulk.

With the current state of American metro areas, population density isn’t sufficient to sustain passenger railways.

It really depends on the intended use of the car.  Full race carbon ceramic compounds need a LOT of warming up to become useful.

A V12 is 150% the cylinder count of a V8 though.

Cost...you can't just "turbo" a high-strung NA motor, lots of mods need to be made and development time to tune it.

This is really the answer.  A mild tune will easily get you past 200 hp if you're willing to take the risk.

Right, IIRC Obama approved the program’s expansion but in no official capacity was the program’s name anything close to “Obamaphone.” Right-wing commentators use it because their racist audience needs them to find a convenient way to vent frustration at a policy that doesn’t really have a problem, and somehow attach…

Oh yeah I don't doubt that they exist, but the term was a way to attach the program to Obama when he merely extended the existing program.

Every time I see an Obamaphone rant, I always say I live in possibly THE most liberal area in the United States (San Francisco Bay, CA) and I have never heard of, let alone seen, an Obamaphone. Why does this term only come up on right-wing rants?

One thing Obama surely did was expose a huge voting demographic for what they really are. For the first time in American history, half of American voters thought their President was a disaster, without being able to give a valid reason.

Yeah, there are videos of similar things on YouTube. Motor scooter riders can be woefully unaware of the dangers around them. They hang around much larger vehicles too closely and for too long.

If it’s gonna poison the cat, then it’s gonna poison whoever the meat grinder serves.

It’s sort of a non-hybrid Prius V.  Could be longer, but I’m not sure about that.

The Crown Comfort is about to be replaced by the Comfort Hybrid (known as the JPN Taxi in Japan).  It’s an awful styling and configuration rip of the London taxi, but with a clever sliding door.  But, it’s supposed to offer better cabin/cargo space than the sedan.

100% agree. I only owned a manual for a very short time (less than half a year, a long story of car stuff that didn’t go to plan), but at no point in my parking lot commute did I feel that it was much more of a hassle than an automatic.

Pretty much the same with California.

I’m not a die-hard fan but I do enjoy driving a manual transmission when it’s paired with a modestly powerful engine. I suspect not everyone is as adept as you (or me) at modulating both left and right feet and that could be the factor behind the American fear of manuals. And when automatics are no longer a hefty…

Serious question: Do those two people, or even the organisations and estates that they are attached to, even have $500 billion?

LMAO at all the freedom of speech takes.

Celebrating a killer is not an ideology.
