The Think looks like a pretty sensible city vehicle, and the price is,well, getting there I suppose. One of these with a 10 hp standby generator (a future...
With my new home being what it is, I got to a point where I just couldn't see myself trying to bring home everything I need to fix it up in my little Mini......
Hmmmmm. So far...... tune in again next week. Actually, it looks like we really are going to see sustained higher fuel prices for the foreseeable future....
Let's analyze for a moment. The Bush family fortune is VERY tied up in oil. Bush is ending his term after this go-around. What better pension plan than oil...
Yeah, didn't we hang a sign on the front door saying something about "no conspiracy theories?" ... Iraq ... tied up ... pension ... higher ... effective ... ...
The Commuter 90 is no more. I got to the point where I'd finished all my drawings and figurings and realized I could not manage to build a car that got 90...
Your new specs suggest a 2000 pound weight car. I have thought about a similar project but I'm now building a 58 corvette replica on '96 camaro running gear. ...
I think that would give 50 mpg at best, and would be way off the performance spec. I did work on an '80 mpg' car a long time ago. It weighed much less than...
I think the operative phrase is "a long time ago". By your logic the Lupo 3L can't exist. John [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
No, I didn't say that. Note the performance (leisurely) and accomodation (2+2+2 carrier bags) of the Lupo. The ECV3 was 3 seconds faster to 60 mph, and was a...
I've often wondered if GM fully explored the Impacts potential with diesel, or modern Miller/Atkinson engines. I understand that they did build a one off 2+2. ...
... with diesel, ... build a one off ... I'm surprised to hear that (given their management's predilections), but it is not at all ridiculous. A small diesel,...
Toyota is recalling 75,000 hybrids! What is happening here? I thought Toyota was the one getting it right? Isn't the Ford technology based on Toyota? Did you...
... Toyota aren't perfect by a long chalk, as they themselves acknowledge. Their primary quality control methodology is called continuous improvement, if they...
from the same site: "Why is someone called Hawkerforest trolling all the Yahoo Priusgroups, trying to stir up dissension with this issue? It has been known...
The Snopes article is well written, well researched and documented, and interesting. I was going to make some protests on some points, but I talked myself out...
I've been doing some figurings for some time now on how to do a 90 mpg commuter vehicle, and as far as I know there is no secret technology on how to make it...
100 mpg in what mix of city and highway driving? The highway bit is fairly easy. I'd be interested to see how a good small diesel compares with any gt setup....
IMHO Gas turbine are not known to be very efficient, specially small ones. If you want to get that MPG figure you have to select the best of every elements....
Agreed on the gas turbine. Small gas turbine engines are much less fuel efficient than crank piston engines of comparable output, as a rule. Take a look at...
Used Onan diesel RV generator sets can be purchased between $3k & $5K according to posts in RV forums. Mine, a 2005 unit, makes 7500 watts, runs about 1300 to...
New member. Looking for car that can fit in 8' pickup truck bed. Where can we find such a car? We travel & work with a motor home & pickup. Want a small car...
why not just use a scooter or two? Just about any car would add a minimum of 1,000 pounds to the bed of your truck, creating extra wear and tear on the...
Terry is disabled. Managing laundry or groceries on 2 tires seems beyond her. Early this year, Terry tried & crashed an electric scooter in less than 60'....
