The engine may look good but if the Escape Cabs I’ve ridden in are any indication, every freakin snap-fit connector holding an interior trim piece on will be loose enough to rattle. That would drive me completely insane.

Volvo needs to tread carefully with this one. As Cadillac and Jaguar have shown, simply making a good car is not enough. Nor is pricing it below the competitors. It needs to build some racing pedigree. And it needs to shed the “oh its a Volvo? Those are safe cars” mentality. I have no idea how they do this. Maybe not…

this is my favorite one. my first thought was always “she totaled it guz she’s a girl driver. lul.”

Not gonna lie, the first time i saw the commercial with the guy about “dropping 40 grand on a new set of wheels” my first thought was “good god. who would pay $40,000 for just some wheels and tires. He doesnt exactly look like he’s got a Bugatti...”

I’m sure Sikorsky up here in CT would be thrilled to have someone with his experience on their team. Tell him to look into that!

did he paint all the corporate logos too?

This was a joke centered on Issac Asimov’s 3 rules for robots. Cuz Germans are robots... I think you missed that...

Pray for chill-ass Germans.

COTD nod.

or the fact that the wi-fi signal doesnt extend the 10ft over to the other car...

the summation of all the times Rowan Atkinson has crashed his F1?

In mostly Airbus planes, they have a fuel saving device called the power transfer unit, or PTU. It is making sure the hydraulic pressure is balanced when they only use one engine during push-back and taxiing. Everyone wants to save fuel so this is their option. It’s noisy and a bit unnerving as it cycles on and off,…

now that its fully paved, I would nominate Pikes Peak.

So what makes you think this design is impossible to modify for conventional runway use? there’s no reason landing gear couldn’t be added to the bottom of the fuselage.

“But officer, the ads all said that Dyson’s never loose suction!”

The drivers of these things are paid $200k a year!?!?!? WTF?! No wonder the companies are looking to automate them...

I saw a Trabant on the road earlier this week in Bedford, NY. I didn’t believe my eyes at first.

When all 9 guns fired at once, how much did it cause the ship to list?

you dont keep your phone plugged into the charger when using it for GPS?

I don’t use GPS when I’m going to places where i know they are, i.e. work, home, my local ice rink, my GF’s place, local takeout places. But if its been a while since ive been there or if i know i’m going to be travelling during rush hour i usually set up GPS on my phone just in case it finds a faster route.
