Have you asked Trump about it?

I had the same idea. Granted, I haven’t paid much attention to the Hyperloop (speaking as an engineer, I think that ignoring anything Musk does is a good bet), but isn’t this basically just a maglev train with a linear motor as in the Linimo, except in an evacuated tube, which is also an idea that has been around for…

Basically, it’s been a back-and-forth game of lobbyist for the past decades. Politicians want to be seen cutting emission limits every X year, but there is simply no way that you can pass a certain amount of fuel through a combustion chamber at all speeds and loads without getting more emissions out. So in return, the…

Nope, Sweden, but it might be that old junkers are in general cheaper in Europe than in the US?

Interesting!

I don’t think that the Maxima was sold in my market, so maybe I’m missing out on something here. Why would this be worth more than a grand? Is it a model that induces high amounts of nostalgia or something like that?

This is a fantastically brilliant idea, and I have no idea how I missed this when it was first posted. But I have to say that the “eyes” of the Miata has always been the indicators to me.

Welcome to the wonderful world of technology startups!

The irony when someone who’s measuring the pressure in his tyres as a multiple of “the pressure that 7000 grains of corn would excert on a square area with sides equal to one-twelfth of a human foot” (which is the most likely origins to pounds and square inches that I can find) refers to another measurement as goofy.

a) This site is constantly shitting on Elio Motors, this article notwithstanding.

So in whatever universe you live in, the Volvo 240 isn’t a wagon? It’s possibly the most wagon-y of all wagons ever built!

To use an even more direct comparison: The trip computer in my third-party GPS unit (as with pretty much every GPS unit ever sold) logs my maximum speed so that I can display it later. That is at least as much of an “incentive” as applying a filter that overlays your speed on top of a photo, yet for some reason I…

Do you realize how much you devalue the term victim-blaming by applying it to this bullshit?

This incident definitely wouldn’t have occurred “if not for” automakers building cars that can exceed the speed limit. Your point is?

No, the app you describes would be an app that somehow starts flashing and making noise when you reach 130 mph. If it was that app we were discussing, the lawsuit might not be so absurd.

If she had a semblance of judgement or intelligence (you know, things that one should have in order to drive a car) she wouldn’t have tried to take a selfie at 113mph with or without the Snapshat app. The idea that anyone but the girl is to blame is simply absurd.

“Daily drive the 4C? Pah! It’s even more rough and uncomfortable than my Range Rover!”

Hell, just fixing the G27 compability disaster would be a must before I buy another Playstation. I realize that racing geeks aren’t the biggest subset of gamers, but expecting people who paid 300€ for a wheel setup with USB to shell out another 350€ for the updated version (with PS4 support) is ridiculous. I play on…

I was looking for the name of a song in a Youtube video recently, and couldn’t figure it out. The video info contained the name of another song featured later in the video, but not the one I was looking for. It was an instrumental cover of something else, so no lyrics to google. I tried three different “music…
