    Show us your Motorcycles

    first time i saw a B&S powered mini bike I was hooked. But my right leg now has a metal rod in it from a motorcycle accident in 2010, so that, coupled with what I feel is a ten fold increase in inattentive driving, people who could care less about ending your life..I do not have a riding bike. I...

    Class action lawsuit against Kia and Hyundai

    I don't think people junking good cars due to a bad design that might increase gas mileage by 1.5% for a false premise...thereby forcing them into a high end purchase of another car is any where near being green.......it's called "bilking" in my book.... the cheapest, most economical, and viable...

    Class action lawsuit against Kia and Hyundai

    this is also a very well known problem with volvos. Primarily the S60 , 2012 +, 5 cyl. engine. The problem is the oil ring drain holes, coupled with the ring size is too small and gets carboned up. I have a 2012 S60, and yes, it has this issue. Mine isn't too bad yet ...1qt/2000 miles......I'm...

    If you were to buy a new vehicle.....

    I'd buy an ICE vehicle. That might include a straight hybrid, no plug in. I own 4 vehicles, that includes a camry hybrid. They are all paid for, and I do my own work. However, I'm taking a chance with the hybrid technology battery longevity and the CVT transmission in that both can be way over...

    What's Goin' On???

    access to and desire for control by certain egos leads to corruption, chaos, and turmoil...mostly for the innocent. A couple of chapters in a particular, well known, but disregarded book have been known to predict and describe current affairs and the coming escalation thereof.... ....whining...

    Vintage Pioneer Model Likes/Dislikes?

    sorry...I replied but saw just now it wasn't there, go figure.. I'm no tech so I wouldn't be able to tell if my receiver didn't "like" running 4 speakers or not, unless it was clipping. The receiver is stock. The speakers are 8 ohms, Dynaco A30 xl's(1978) and BIC Venturi's(2008). I haven't...

    Yamaha 5-L V-8 Hydrogen Engine

    so, that has been discussed before. So we can go back and forth...again.... with our quoted , cut and pasted defenses, what's a tax ,what isn't a tax....and who's lying....

    Yamaha 5-L V-8 Hydrogen Engine

    solar, wind, tidal is not anywhere close to being cost effective. It has to be massively subsidized. If it was cost effective I'd have it, there'd be a demand for it, and billions of people would buy it......they haven't.

    Yamaha 5-L V-8 Hydrogen Engine

    Exactly, nickel futures rose 75% yesterday. The volitivity of precious metals is never considered. Nor is the ownership and control of said metals by other countries.....but good luck getting said proponents to rationally discuss any of that. But to some, just bring on utopia, and money grows on...

    Yamaha 5-L V-8 Hydrogen Engine

    good for yamaha and toyota. I take it they are pursuing this research on their own? In other words, they aren't using my tax dollars disguised as "infrastructure " (money printing) ? Entrepreneurship, free market, profits used for R&D, great. I hope this technology can be improved, but the...
