Why, oh why can’t they get it right?
Hybrid after hybrid goes on sale, but still not one that you can plug in at night to recharge the battery.
Consider; if, like most people, your commute to work is around 10 or so miles, you have a 20 mile round trip. This is easily achievable with modern […]
I’ve been thinking about this for a while now. Well, at least a day and a half.
I’m going to design and build my own car. It can’t be that hard; homebuilt cars don’t have to meet any particular emissions or crash test standards. They only have to work.
This is not going to be a quick […]
The next time you are driving down the interstate, minding your own business, and you see a sign “lane ends 2000 feet”, ask yourself “Why?”.
If the traffic count was high enough before the change to justify three lanes, and there was no off-ramp, where did the cars go?
That’s right; nowhere.
Executive Car Service provides corporate Baltimore […]
It used to be that no one would question you if you referred to GM, Ford, and Chrysler as the Big Three. It has been a number of years now since they actually held the top three slots in auto sales, however. Currently Toyota is in the number two position — behind GM and ahead […]
And anyone can build it.
Cheap on gas, too.
Probably not very crashworthy, though.
That’s right it’s the paper E28, courtesy of E28 Planet. If you are not familiar with the BMW series naming conventions, the E28 is the 5 series from 1982-1988. They include the 524td diesel, the 528e with the baby six, and the 533i and […]
It’s world carfree day.
Can’t say that I care.
Now, if it were free car day . . .
252 miles per hour.
That’s the claimed top speed of the quad-turbocharged Bugatti Veyron.
The good people at Auto Express disagree. They tested the car and were only able to get it to 220 mph. They were told the car was unable to reach top speed due to the elevation at which they were testing.
Allow me […]
There are more classic cars on the road in Britain than in the U.S.
A naturally inquisitive mind might want to know why that is the case.
One word: MoT.
The MoT is a battery of tests that would shame any U.S. safety inspection. Requiring virtually every component of the car to be brought to the as-new condition […]
I’m sure that was the general feeling at British Leyland — owners of the MG brand — in the seventies. After all, their cars were already designed. All that they needed to do was just keep building them and selling them.
I became certain of this after owning a 1972 MGB. There were a lot of […]
Well, it seems that I’m a day late.
Yesterday (September 19th) was Talk Like a Pirate Day. In honor of this great day, the good folks at Engadget bring us the Corsair Ergonomic Keyboard for Pirates.
This is a great relief for me, as all the pirates in my hire have been rumbling of a lawsuit due […]
