not really. a large industry of for lease/sale parking structures and car rental complexes on the border of the ban area at/near public transport hubs would spring up quickly.  for an example take a look at any major german city with a central “Walkplatz” or no cars zone.  parking structures get built at major entry…

there are many practical reasons why a total ban of cars and trucks in even a city like NYC, Chicago, Boston or other major cities with decent to good public transit is not feasible.

businesses need to get deliveries, things need to get repaired, buildings need to get built.

that said, it is entirely feasible to ban…

forget the “in this market” bullshit.

“in this market” only a complete fucking idiot buys a car that they don’t absolutely have to buy.  “in this market” fix what you have as long as it is less than $5k and wait for the market to return to sanity.

it’s too much money, so ND, but I really like it anyway.

not sure what you mean by downwash wings.

both the front wing and the rear wing are traditional downforce generating wings, but have greatly simplified and restricted endplates that should reduce vortex production.

the theory is that ground effect tunnels are less susceptible to disturbed air when following and…

the purpose of the downwash sidepods last year was to get as much air as possible into the coke bottle region over the top of the diffuser.

so far it looks like there are 2 distinct design corners being developed with this year’s cars, the high long sidepod designs seem to be geared to supplying as much air to the rear…

the alfa and the aston also have the louvers and similar, though less extreme, sidepod profiles. aston and alfa also seem to have much more aggressive undercuts.

williams, McLaren and SAT have downwash sidepods without gills like the merc and RB did last year.

the front wing and the floor edge on the ferrari are clearly…

“fell off in 2021"???? it was a big step up over 2020.

obligatory reference to NFPA stats showing that in total numbers and per car actually on the road and in per million miles driven, EVs catch fire at a much lower rate than gasoline cars. but that doesn’t fit your narrative.

if you fire someone for theft, you will probably end up paying them for a full year minimum.

similarly, in germany they had (when I was stationed there) extremely generous maternity related work and leave policies - a woman was essentially unfirable from the day she notified the company she was pregnant (to prevent…

real cities have real transit. Boston, NY, Chicago, SF, London, Paris, Tokyo....

5th gear - it is nearly impossible to fire or lay someone off in france, even for cause.  reductions in staffing usually require at least 6 months notice and then at least 6 months severance after the completion of the notice period.

the language makes it sound an awful lot like it may not be highway capable.

a city car that can’t leave the city is pretty dumb, as the only reason to own a car if you live in the city is to GTFO of the city.

Free-Dumb Convoy

WTF is wrong with people that they think something like this has value as anything other than a parts car?

receiver hitch? hellooooo.  

that may be so, but you can’t tell without being told and then told where to look to see what is different.

the point is, the integra should be obviously and distinctively different in shape from the civic, not just a few creases and window trim shapes.

or one/several of the teams is pissed about the findings and forcing it to be kept confidential.

well, shit..

the overarching rule he followed (and was agreed to by the teams pre-season) was “all rules are fungible in the goal of finishing races under green if safe to do so”
