Dying for a Chevy Volt, but.... by
Existential Angst[_2_]
Awl --
After a recent thread on the Volt, I'm really tryna justify the purchase of
one, but bleeve, it's hard.
I figger my gas cost per year is $1600 or so, and payments for a Volt would
proly be $6,000 year.... PLUS electricity costs.
Now, about those electricity costs.....
If you calculate...

The cellphone paradox - where are all the accidents? by

The cellphone paradox - where are all the accidents?
The Fermi Paradox is essentially a situation where we "assume" something
that "seems obvious"; but, if that assumption is true, then something else
"should" be happening. But it's not.
Hence, the paradox.
Same thing with the cellphone...

Running a car on water via electrolysis by
Rarpy
Ever since the first patent in the 1930's, it seems
people just want to debunk the idea of combusting
hydrogen from water inside an internal combustion
engine, but yet again it seems a company has
produced the technology to make it happen:

Best no BS motor oil/filter comparison? by
HiC
I see opinions of the "I swear by" type all over the map. Anyone know
of a good site that shows the truth about which brand/type of oil &
filter performs the best? Thinking in the passenger car realm.
Thanks

Changing a flat tire.... with a sledgehammer?? by
Existential Angst[_2_]
Had to sledgehammer the flat tire/rim off the hub, it had rusted on so
hard -- which is strange, bec the tires had been rotated a month or two

Mopar Follies (was: easiest engine) by
Bret Ludwig
I have no beef against DaimlerChrysler, FoMoCo or General Motors. In
my opinion all have made some beautiful things and some dog poop.
However it's been brought to my attention that some consider Chrysler
Corp. engineering without peer or flaw. All I can say is, bull****.
Bad points with...

Honda "Drive by Wire" question... what if the power goes out? by
David E. Powell
Hi there.
I have been looking at the new Honda Civic, it's pretty sweet, and the
welds and everything are as nice as anything I have ever seen. I just
have a question about the "Drive by wire" system that they are supposed
to have.
What happens if the Engine dies on you? In my current car, my...
