    Shipper Matson is suspending all EV and Hybrid cars to Hawaii.

    Which wouldn't matter if you lived in Hawaii, as you'd have to have that American stuff shipped to you.

    Porsche Admits Trouble Ahead: “Our Business Model No Longer Works”

    That the Labor dept. in Singapore used to facilitate travel to China and India at least in part so Singaporeans can compare and see if they have basis to complain about their own working conditions.

    Large hydro dams have shifted the earth's poles

    Yeah, because tide gauges for the last 150 years and satellites for the last 50 don't actually exist.

    Porsche Admits Trouble Ahead: “Our Business Model No Longer Works”

    I see enough Macans in my neighborhood to think Porsche are not dead and buried yet.

    Porsche Admits Trouble Ahead: “Our Business Model No Longer Works”

    Am I the only one reading the missing word in the title ? “Our Current Business Model No Longer Works” The Current business model is 80% EVs and German labor prices. The 80% EV is out the window - clearly, and rightly so. As for the German labor prices - the late Lee Kuan Yew, the man behind...

    AN 124 escape from Kyiv

    Down it. Not shoot it. Bring it down. By sabotage or any other effective means, of which there are many. I don't know who "they" is but if we're talking about the a124 or any other Ukrainian cargo planes - yes, of course, but I highly doubt they are precisely the ones transporting weapons to...

    Thread for photos that 100% do not violate any Terms Of Service, not political, not too lewd, no gas price pics etc.

    Well, was that the sound of a million sighs of relief, or the moan of at least one company that has gas spouts in its name and just ran out of business...

    In the USA can you be forced to have your vehicle worked on at the dealership?

    This is surprising, as Hyundai USA was adamant about me being free to change my oil anywhere I want as long as it's documented and the parts and oil used are documented to specs, when I called them. Any manufacturer will try to play that card, bit it doesn't mean it will work. As for Ineos'...

    AN 124 escape from Kyiv

    I doubt that they use airplanes at all to haul weaponry in Ukraine on the last leg of the delivery, is all. And on the previous legs - say from US to Europe - they'd be unlikely to do it with their own airplane fleet, as this one is more easily "shootable" from a diplomacy point of view - they...

    Does Size Matter? Engine Displacement….How Low Can They Go?

    But G. forbid, if some kid crashes into you while checking their phone - they'll do it in another Ka or a Palio, not in a 3 ton Escalade or Tahoe. If a Ka crashes in an average SUV in the US, all the SUV will get is a "...new USB device detected..." message on the dash. We level up by the...

    Ozzy Osbourne has Died

    Y'all guys have autocorrect or something? The music industry is the one the loss will mark the most? With you on that one. I can guarantee you two things - 1) it wasn't a persona, it was all him, just high as a kite or drunk as a camel or both & 2) he changed his ways.

    Vinfast, what on earth are you doing - VF8 and VF9 test drive and failed attempt to lease a VF8

    They are actually amazing for a first try. The software for driving assistance for example is apparently quite good. It's just that that first try is still not good enough for the US. In Europe they keep trying, but there are plenty of issues there too, some of them - strange ones. Turns out...

    Because it's Vietnamese? Those are rare you know. Vietnacheese.

    Ozzy Osbourne has Died

    Well, it is sad that from those three there are none alive left. At least Eddie's status is unclear, and I have them all. And it turned out the larger one actually has a bat. In the cart you go...

    Not the Live Evil concert with Dio, you didn't.

    Ozzy Osbourne has Died

    I won't give a fig about the music industry, but it surely is a sad day for music. RIP PS: @MaximumMini, unless it was on purpose, that laughing emoji reaction to the first post must have been looking for a shortcut it never found and ended up at the wrong place...might feel a bit lonely there.

    AN 124 escape from Kyiv

    So how is the a124 needed ? It doesn't bring economies, it's mostly for oversized items that wouldn't fit anywhere else. Maybe as a symbolic gesture, but otherwise I don't see it.

    AN 124 escape from Kyiv

    Would they load them in something as obvious and targettable, vs something less obvious in larger numbers and flying under a flag that causes a bit more issues if downed ?

    no engine oil dipstick by design

    Yeah, it's not like it was already mentioned in post #33 and every other post after 😊
