Will Electric Vehicles Work For Us? by
Dave Head
OK, lets say that a viable electric vehicle is on the horizon:
http://money.cnn.com/2006/09/15/technology/disruptors_eestor.biz2/index.htm
The idea is to charge it up and it'll run for 300 miles. It can be fully
charged in 5 minutes. A family car would accelerate like a Ferrarri. Etc.

Wow... Here's an outfit out of Carlsbad, Calif. (outside San Diego)
who reportedly offers a car capable of 300 MPG:

If you've got $30,000 (USD), patience, California residency and a
sense of adventure, have at it! Oh yeah... No--it does not fly. :)

thinking about buying a temporary car by
Magnulus
I am thinking about buying a smaller car to drive for a year or so until
the Prius price-gouging and shortages stop. My criteria is I want decent
gas mileage, it MUST be a car (no SUV's or trucks), it should handle OK, and
I want side-curtain airbags or side airbags in the front seat (thorax...

Can you clarify the above statement please? I was trying to understand it,
but couldnt. How do you magically clear the right lane?

Now I Know Why Brent Slaps Fenders by
Scott en Aztlán
Since I started walking to/from the train station every day, I've
noticed just how many ASSHOLE drivers there are out there on the
roads. If you think they're bad to other drivers, you should see what
they do to pedestrians and pedalcyclists. I guess they feel all big
and brave in their 2-ton metal...

How would an experienced driver have handled this? by
Jo[_2_]
Hello all,
I'm quite shaken as I had a brush with the grim reaper today :(
Coming off a roundabout, I was driving along an A-road immediately
behind a horse carriage doing 20 mph in a 60 mph road. I was about 150
yards past the roundabout and a queue of cars had built up behind me.
I felt...

Even moe stupid cop tricks by
DTJ
The other day I was driving through a small city in Illinois, when I
noticed a cop come out of a cross street through a red light. He
turned in front of me to go the other way. Fortunately I know enough
to recognize that if a cop is moving he is dangerous, so I avoided
killing him.
He then...

teenage insurance by
leo
I just set up an account for an 18 1/2yo girl, with one accident on her
record. The rate is $4500/yr. I added an older girl, the rate remains the
same. WHAT IF I add a third boy who is 17 to the account. I think the rate
is already over the top that the boy might have very little effect on...

Suicidal MFFYs? by
Alexander Rogge
I had an incident this week involving another suicidal MFFY. I was in
the right lane approaching two slow cars. They were going about 80,
which was not a problem. The traffic was sparse, so I signalled left
and moved to pass. I was going 130 when the Toyota driver in the front
of the right...

A New Category of Sloth by
Scott en Aztlán
We have already identified several categories of Sloth, including
* Sloth Mergers, the doddering ninnies who take the on-ramp at 45 MPH
* Sloth Coasters, the guys who take their foot off the gas whenever
they see a red light (or even a "stale green") somewhere before the
horizon
* Sloth Passers,...

A police pursuit (televised live on KTLA) on I-5 north near Gorman
just ended when several truckers formed a roadblock, ultimately
trapping the fleeing suspect's car between two of them. Of course,
Truckers along I-5 through the San Joaquin valley have lots of
practice blocking 4-wheelers, so...

Reg versus Premium Fuel experiament in 09 PT Cruiser by
Ashton Crusher[_2_]
I have pretty much gotten a decent feel for the gas mileage to expect
from my PT. The last three tanks averaged about 23 mpg. So when I
filled up yesterday I put premium in it instead of regular. It's too
early for a definitive answer but so far it looks like it's down 2 mpg
over what I'd been...

Mostly OT... The law is the law.... by
Brent P
I know this mostly off topic, but it deals with cursory subjects that
come out of the threads with regards to law enforcement, rights, and
supreme court decisions.
This is the sort of thing that occurs when government and police have too
much power and property rights don't exist. Given the new...
