The oil industry wil survive electric cars. Moving commercial aviation and oceanic transport to electric propulsion though, then the oil industry would really be in trouble.

~:45 and again at ~4;30, even this guy doesn’t trust the 5¢ seal in his bottle jack, and takes measures to prevent a full collapse should the jack fail.

Merchandising, merchandising, MERCHANDISING! Spaceballs Ferrari: The Flamethrower!

I had the same thought-as long as people aren’t penalized for waiting on parts. It’s in the insurance industry’s best interest to have all recalls completed.

The overland group I occasionally hang out with has a really diverse group of vehicles. Various Land Rovers, plenty of Jeeps, a few Land Cruisers/Lexus LX’s and some Nissan XTerras, as expected. Then there are the trucks! Rangers, Tacomas, “Old Body Style” F-250, Ram Mega-Cab and even a Kodiak/Top-Kick.

I think a better analogy on your 2nd point would be “the Automotive equivalent of an old-school Apple Fanboy.”

When you get to the ultra-premium level of sports cars, manufacturers cut down production to increase exclusivity and demand, allowing for an even higher asking price. This also results in tiny sales numbers, which can look like a massive year-over-year decline.

Some learn by reading, others learn by observing. The rest have to pee on the electric fence burn out & over-correct into another car for themselves.

LOL at “Jumping NV cargo van strictly prohibited by the fun police and the real police. Do not attempt.”

How good are the Drivatars in Forza 6? Those do make mistakes and will drive with varying degrees of agressiveness.

Sticking with the twin turbo 6 (race and off-road proven btw), they continue to think outside the box.

Considering their design chief is from Audi, I expect to see plenty of similar flourishes in these designs, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It’s like asking Henrik Fisker or Ian Callum to draw up a design for somebody else that doesn’t look like an Aston or Jag. They’ll do it, but you’ll immediately spot the…

I was under the impression that the engine in the new NSX is unique to the car. Maybe I misread that and they were talking about the overall hybrid powertrain

Except this time, Honda’s playing catch-up; Ferrari, Porsche, McLaren all have hybrid supercars out (at quite a premium, but that’s never really going to change)

From just the trailer…I need this on Blu-Ray

When you compare energy densities, are you refering to simply burning hydrogen in a combustion engine (like the BMW Hydrogen 7), or using it in a fuel cell to generate electricity?

The MAVTV Dirt Cup at Skagit Speedway listing threw me for a momentary loop…”Delayed” is an understatement! I was at all three races last June.

I have no sympathy for Mr. Tailgater here, and this is why:

I hope the owner contacted the valet contractor with this video, and these idiots are looking for another job.

How long does the door stay stopped before resuming, or does the passenger need to press the “open” button again to resume?
