“70 percent of Americans believe that global warming will harm future generations and 71 percent trust climate scientists about global warming. However, only 49 percent agree that “most scientists think global warming is happening,”

This needs a companion post of “What car of yours was absolutely hated by you SO?”

At one point, I bought an ex and R1 as a present (she wanted one) It was a couple of years old, in very nice shape, with plenty of after market doodads. It was a rather nice bike. Some time later, partly to spite me, she traded it (+cash) for a durango. There was a point there of picking the durango without my…

We don’t have enough data to know the exact life span of Tesla’s batteries, but we do know they last a great deal longer than a year and a half. There are many Model S’s (sii?) that are older than that on the roads. We have examples of model S’s exceeding 200k miles while loosing less than 10% of their total battery…

It seems absolutely right under these circumstances, but I’m afraid of the precedent this sets, and what kind of absurdity this will result in.

Washington post has slightly different details on the ban.

What exactly is that supposed to solve? People can still pack their electronics in their luggage, just not bring it with them into the cabin. It’s a relatively mild inconvenience.

Thanks for the reply. I wish there was another picture somewhere, that bar really looks like a solid piece that is fixed all the way across to me. It’s hard to see where it moves or is connected to any switches. I suppose it could flex, and activate switches that way, but one would think the feedback would be awful in…

That never actually made it into cars.

I don’t think the battery is any harder to replace than say a transmission or some other major driveline component.

Only Lambos need those

Alright, so maybe they are trying to differentiate themselves. Every car ad sells a fantasy “Buy our car! Be awesome! Have an awesome life!” and it’s all BS, because you are still you with a different car a new car payment.

Ok, so I thought I understood the first one. It was basically saying “If you drive a MB, it tells everyone that you got the hang of this adult thing. If you want people to stop thinking of you as an over grown kid, get an MB”. Ok, fine, so it’s kind of like “you’ve made it” some lux car had, only for trust fund…

Thanks for the reply. I knew that clutch was used as you describe but still a bit confused as to what the actual shifter paddle is. Do you mean the small round button at the top corners, between the screws? Or the one long carbon bar that stretches across (it doesn’t look like an actuator, but who knows)

So how does this work? Each paddle is a shifter (one up, one down) and use them together pulls in the clutch? Or are both paddles clutch (together? or redundant?) and the shifters are elsewhere?

Dear Jason, you may be doing words wrongly.

I hated how TGUSA did the reality formula of showing the same 5 seconds of exciting footage before the break, again before the break, right after the break, and then finally during the proper time. That trying to keep you from changing the channel during commercials felt cheap to me, sort of like a sleezy car sales…

It also depends on owner/driver preference. Some people are really bothered by a stiff ride, often complaining about stock cars being too stiff. I only found the ride to stiff on terrible suspension hack jobs.

I wanted to rant about how much of an idiot the guy was being about not being able to seperate the car from its stereotyped owners, then realized that was the exact way I felt about camaros. They can make the best camaro in the world, give it to me for free, and I will refuse to drive it because camaros are for…

Atlas looks to be about 6', while Petman looks to be in the 5' range (he is headless after all).
