Airport shuttle drivers generally don’t own the car they are driving. Also a work vehicle (semi, bus, limo, etc.) don’t really meet the same criteria as personal use.

Carlos Sainz Sr. is this Carlos’ dad. He’s an absolute ralley legend and recently winning Dakar in 2018 and 2020.

To be fair, they were banking on 3 months at unlimited spending. That’s like a 9 months of spending under the new cap for the big 3

Tracing Point is gonna trace their way to the top

Probably not many seeing as how most company drivers a drug tested...

Should have stated calendar day instead of 24-hour period.

This is very clearly the car from the movie. Everyone want their picture taken with famous movie cars, not some regular junk car!

From the commentators on F1 TV it appears the biggest advantage is tire wear and temperature management. Going toe neutral on the straits appears to reduce outer tire wear and allows you to cool the tires more on the straits allowing for pushing the tires harder for longer in the turns.

These things wont help. Look at Porsche and Lamborghini. They make sports cars but SUVs pay the bills.

Theres also the 4-motion sportwagen if you want a cheaper alltrack

Your’re looking for large companies with remote manufacturing plants. The gulf coast is chock full of these, parts of the south east as well. They’re out there, but I wouldn’t call them desirable locations.

We’ve got a town like that in western VA. Beuna Vista - pronounced BYOOOONah Vista. They don’t mind correcting it you say it wrong either.

With essentially no testing in F1 since 2007 ( <2007 - unlimited, 2007 - 30k KM, 2008 - 15k KM, today - 8 days preseason), I’m surprised that the trackside/traveling crew is as burdened as much as they used to be. This also seems like something that can be done by shift/crew with certain members outside of management…

I got mine in February. I had a ‘17 before it (also 4-mo) and a ‘14 JSW TDI before it. We can only hope the impending recession drives people out of their big cars and back into wagons. I jut don’t see how they ever get made again.

This was an option for alltrack and golf sportwagen for 4 years, only a handful sold (I’ve had 2, roughly 20% of all sales ;P).

That buick dash is mostly button. We want something that has some button. Not none and not exclusively buttons.

Its not people trading in cars for more fuel efficient cars just because of gas prices. Its people that need to buy a car anyway making a decision based on gas prices today.

Most ethanol is produced in places where there is relatively little demand and trucking doesn’t make sense (the bigger plants make ~345k gallons/day).

Ethanol plants have rail yards for this purpose. Corn gets offloaded from the grain elevators (~6.8 million pounds/day) and ethanol gets loaded for transport to…

The biggest obstacle has been breaking down the cellulose in a way that is cost efficient. There hasn’t been a process that can do it at today’s $2.50/gallon price point.

Let me get this straight, you can look at a one-off muffler, do an energy balance on a one-off engine, calculate the heat flow into the surrounding area, determine the autoignition temperature of the surround material and determine the probability of an autoignition event.... just by looking at it....

I work on my own…
