live with manual mirrors for a while— the manual kind you need to reach out and tweak— also, they can get bumped by wind, or by anyone walking by them. i NEED to have some part of the vehicle in the view, otherwise that experience tells me i could be looking 3 lanes over instead of next to me.

Wheres the snowpiercer reference when you need it?

In the UK, and probably the rest of Europe, the driver’s mirror has a section on the outer edge that provides a wide angle view. Like the button ones but part of the main mirror so you see it all as one view.

Most people realize that using less energy overall is better for all of us, no matter what the source.

They do have all those empty cities they built and abandoned during their housing market crash.

Pineapple.

How much weed did you smoke yesterday

Please tell me it was a Mack truck, because there’s gotta be a few Mac N Cheese jokes in there. Just need to let my ADD do it’s thing.

I do prefer the 350/370Z’s

Audi V8 or V6 I think.

The chain could be for the oil pump, or also balance shafts if it has them. Don’t know what that engine is though.

The chain from the crank probably turns a gear on a shaft with a pulley that turns the cam belts. Old Ford sohc V-8's have 2 timing chains that work like that.

Posted it on Oppo for you. if you go over there and make a few comments and aren’t a dick you can get authorship and make your very own posts!

Bremo is paying the full cost.

BINGO! Glad this was already posted. Some fast food restaurants were looking to “go green” by using a fluid-filled platform at the drive-thru window (to create hydraulic/electric power on a small scale), but critics all basically said “all they’re doing is stealing from customers.” Fractions of a penny at a time,…

I was wondering the same thing. If we’re slogging through roads, rather than rolling over them, in a tiny sense, are we really creating energy? It seems like strapping a wind turbine to the front of your scooter and letting the generated energy shove you along. It’s a diminished return.

Bingo, that’s my question too.

So do they manage to do this without increasing rolling resistance to the cars? If the road deforms more than typical asphalt, they really wouldn’t be capturing lost energy as much as taking energy from people’s cars (which aren’t exactly thermodynamically efficient to begin with)

I’ll just leave this here.
