A lot of factors determine whether or not increases would be deemed acceptable or not... existing conditions, nature of the receptor, qualities of the added noise, local ordinances. The vast majority of vehicular noise increases will generally be acceptable, as long as you aren’t building a subway line or bus line or…

For environmental impact reports/statements and negative declarations, mostly. I’ll model projected mobile-source noise impacts from new developments/roads/trasportation lines. For most smaller projects, results are negligible. But larger, noiser projects, or projects in low-noise neighborhoods, can have significant…

That’s just the thing.. this new technology would be for new projects. So let’s say you are considering putting down a HUGE deposit on a house in the city, but you know they’re building a road nearby.

So maybe not Tata or Geely, but there are others. What about Suzuki? They’ve just finished up disentangling from VW, they’re #1 in India (which is a much less crowded market than China) and with big presence in all the major Asian markets, and they have virtually no geographic or model crossover with FCA.

You absolutely crushed the reasoning here. If not Geely, it has to be another Chinese company. Something you didn’t mention but reinforces this theory, spinning off Ferrari. Could you imagine the outrage by the tifosi (and all Italians in general) if Marchionne sold off Ferrari to the Chinese? So, if you’re…

Two awful management teams merging into one giant awful management team.

It’s a Spex Elf.

I believe so. The S80 was around $40-$50k. There’s no way that car was competing with the A8/7er/S.

Well thanks.

Hannity and Co. are that way ——->

Except, this is not some counter insurgency shit, this will be all out war between the north and south. Pretty sure rules of engagement will be a little more clearly defined and fluid...

Hi Mr. Barber, give me the Hitler Youth/Roger Klotz/Macklemore.

Direct translation from German will always give an English speaking person a headache, their sentence structure is different.

I wish I lived in a world with all the same cool military hardware, but it was only ever used for blowing the ever loving shit out of the dirt and never aimed at another human. I would watch that all day long.

Don’t think I can quite get on your outrage level here. These pretty much look the same to me.

me irl next time i see doug’s name on my phone

ahem.

Nice list but I prefer my combination

1st Gear: In the first week of me driving of my new S3, I went to the grocery store to pick up a few things. I got out of the car and touch the handle to lock the car. It would not lock, even after several tries. So I locked the car using the physical key. When I return to the car, I realized the engine was running…

How to fix the taurus: Make it weigh less than 5 thousand tons, offer a REAL SHO option that can actually handle the motor it gets, design it for the group of people who actually will buy it, not the people who are already sold on SUV’s.
