Suppose I only had the battery that came with the mower, and it had enough juice to cut half my lawn. About how long would it take to recharge enough to finish the job? An hour, a few hours, overnight? I’m guessing the batteries are pretty expensive. Also, does the battery charge in the mower or in an external charger?

I’m glad you chose the most un-Harley Harley of them all for for his gift,the V-Rod! It features a water-cooled, Porsche-designed engine, a modern chassis, and a working suspension. Naturally HD couldn’t sell them and they were discontinued.

Four percent of the output of 2 types of metal production for less than a year were mis-labeled. It’s not even being reported that the metals are defective...just not properly inspected. Why is this such a big deal?

Take a few minutes onliine and study the thermal efficiency of automobiles vs. power plants.

He should slather the car with a liberal coating of Vaseline.

There are few things I like better than slathering my car with a liberal coating of Vaseline.

Anybody who thinks “Freedom of Speech” means you can actually say or demonstrate what you believe in public: YOU’RE FIRED!

The Darwin Awards will have an exciting new category this year.

Hasn’t one of the Japanese manufacturers been putting holes along the fender of an SUV model for a while now? IIRC, it’s either Lexus or Infinity. I’m surprised Buick didn’t patent or trademark their “invention. “

Is it wrong to not trust dealers that plant enormous flagpoles and ridiculously large American flags around their dealership? I’m patriotic and I love to see our flag displayed, but when I see flags the size of circus tents flapping over a car lot, it feels like the dealer is cheapening and exploiting an important

A remarkable number of drivers (I’m not one of them) believe that engine braking puts undue wear on a clutch. There’s even a saying that goes along with it: “brakes are cheaper than a clutch.” I guess if you feathered the clutch while engine braking, or didn’t rev-match as you downshift, it’s possible to put slightly

The singers/actors seem to have found the car’s most comfortable location when they stepped out onto the hood and roof.

I have to wonder how much water a turbine ot turboprop engine can ingest and continue to operate. Apparently quite a bit, judging by the video, but there must be a point of saturation where it will fail.

A nice Lotus-yellow Jalopnik sticker would look great on my BRG MX-5. Where do I submit my application?

They didn’t have the time...NASA had all the money they wanted, and more. But they were in a “space race” with the Soviets, and the only that mattered was getting there first.

Its even more fun on a Shovelhead Harley with 2/1 collector pipe.

You’ve made the idea of buying an ND to share the garage with my NA very tempting. I knew Mazda was pursuing the core values of the NA in the ND design, but I had no idea it went so deep.

“Ad-Hoc Advisory Group Memorial Highway.”

I had a VW “Squareback” station wagon when I was in high school. I’d driven it 25 miles out into the KSC area of Merritt Island FL for a romantic interlude with a girl who had a strict and scary Dad. When we ready to leave, the car would start, but pressing the gas pedal did nothing.

The Ghia is one of very few cars that genuinely looks better today than it did back in the 60's and 70's. At least that’s true for me. Perhaps it took this long for my taste in car styling to mature sufficiently to appreciate it.
