Exactly why do you think a gas engine would do better a flood? The batteries are already sealed units, as long as the connections, controllers, and motors stay dry the car literally be driven underwater. Where as a gasoline car takes a sweet gulp of water down the intake and hydrolocks.

Relative to an electric vehicle, I can see the argument for it. Just like your oil level, If you don’t maintain the fuel level, the vehicle doesn’t run.

So you are telling me they got 75K out of each set of tires and 150K out of each set of brake pads? And you think that a Lincoln is going to do 300k with nothing other than bulbs and oil?

Yeah thank god we don’t inject racial tension into every single part of daily life regardless of its relevance!

Why not? One in front, two in back? Gear in trunk.

The one I daily has 212K on the clock and is going strong. I drive it like I stole it and give it fresh synthetic every 5K and have had zero issues.

Did someone say Asshole?

You really hit the nail on the head with that one. Us Americans have so much pride in the USA hockey team...

You need to know how to use significant figures in chemical equations.

Maybe you should rethink that statement. If one vehicle is traveling faster than another (in my example ~10 mph), the distance between the two is constantly increasing. Slowing down for a right turn takes almost no time at all because there is no need to yield to oncoming traffic. This means that I vehicle must have…

You are missing the point. My argument is that even under ideal conditions, a cyclist is unlikely to overtake a vehicle as you suggested in your comment.

Still waiting on out of stock ultegra 6800 wheelsets to come back in stock (believe they finally did yesterday) to replace one I cracked hopping over a pothole a month ago. No road bike for a monk = not fun.

As a collegiate cyclist on a $4,000 full carbon race bike, it is very infrequent occurence for me to be going fast enough to keep up to a car let alone pass it as it turns.(I average ~20-22mph) It is very frequent for cars to over take me in (in a 30, where I am doing the previously mentioned 20-22) right before a…

What kind of shitbox are you driving that is so slow it can’t pass a “5mph” cyclist?

Says the man-child who can’t use “you’re” properly.

Gotta keep that V6 coupe above 4,000 pounds somehow...

It should be pointed out that A.) Canada is part of America and B.) The United States’ greatest contribution to the war effort was its massive industrial power.

yeah it’s totally impossible that they could approach from the rear... /s

She is very fortunate that it landed on an SUV (basically a huge crumple zone). But the results are still impressive.

I was referring to obstacles behind you, not beside you.
