But by your measures it would be easy for you to write a bulletproof regulation for level 4 vehicles right now. Because maybe the first will be somewhat available in 3 5 years (maybe). You can also choose any different topic including fast changing technology and define a set of rules today which will be valid in 5 years.

I mean Tonys Dodge Demon from the article was rated at 275hp gross, it probably only made around 230hp net from the factory. And that was made before the emission laws really kicked in so it not like it strangled, that just how much power it made. Last year I bought a RWD car that made 240hp for $2600, that probably would have lasted longer than that Demon without needing a rebuild or other major work if I hadn ripped the engine out for a swap. Those old muscle cars are awesome, but I don really think we getting the short end of the stick when it comes to cheap performance.

His charming Leo ways often won him bipartisan support, and he moved to more centrist ways to win a second term. Clinton tried very hard to pass a National Health Care Bill, and Hillary worked tirelessly on it. still has a shameful lack of a cohesive system of health care. Clinton signed the Brady Bill, enforcing a five day waiting plan on anyone purchasing handguns. He also devised the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy regarding gays in the military, though in 2012 that has been suspended. At least he tried to respect gays willing to serve their country. Attitudes about the LGBTQ community have changed much since he was POTUS.

It absolutely is a luxury car. Perhaps not the base model with manual seats and no heated seats. A average selling price of 50k and premium features all the way around. How can you argue it isn doesn have ventilated seats, a heated steering wheel, the suspension isn what I expect in a luxury car, the car is noisier than a typical luxury car, the seats are not like that of a typical luxury style car, the interior finishes don scream luxury to me either. Don get me wrong the model 3 is absolutely a premium car. I just don feel it crossed the line into luxury. I also don feel that entry level BMWs, Audis, Acuras or Mercs fall into that category either. Premium, yes. Luxury, no. Luxury is getting into a super comfortable seat you melt into, feel like you are riding on a cloud, surrounded by luxurious finishes and a nice quite ride. The model 3 is a terrifically fun car to drive, but it isn luxury. It a terrific car, and a really fun one to drive, but I don know how anyone can call it luxury.

The idea that the options are either an EV that is more expensive than an ICE carbon copy because the battery is more expensive or a hybrid is fairly retarded. They could make platform dedicated EVs and have their own specific desirable characteristics that are far and beyond similarly priced ICE cars while being lesser cars in other areas. That hypothetical 70 kWh, 3s to 100 kph, $60000 BMW would crush their ICE version in a drag race and have its ass handed to it on a race track. It would still have its own appeal to sell and wouldn be comparable nor would it be EV version of that car that is $20000 more expensive because batteries, it would cost the same.

Non Mini dealerships won’t do a good job servicing your vehicle. I took my car in to a local repair shop to deal with a couple small issues, as well as get an oil change. They couldn’t fix the issues I had with my car, and missed a very critical issue that my dealership found months later. So don’t rely on a non Mini dealership/repair shop to take good car of your vehicle.

Hey all! I would love some advice on fitting 3 car seats across in an x3. My daughter is 5 (and a tiny thing) and in a Britax Marathon 70. My son is 2.5 and we just swapped his marathon out for a Radian rxt. We were planning on swapping my daughter out to a Radian as well. Our 3rd is coming in July and we’d love to be able to use 3 seats back there, with one being an infant seat.

If one is constantly filling with a lot of water there most certainly may be a leak. The proper way to check the system is a knowledgeable person with a pressure tester. The system is pressurized and then leaks can be sought. Some common ones are the hoses best checked first. A next best look is at the water pump seal. Freeze plugs are more of rarity today, yet can be considered. A good look about is needed overall.

Can I just roll on the throttle earlier?It going to be interesting to see how much I can improve in a short amount of time just being aware I driving a RWD and not a FWD!Going in for another training session! Thank you!Turned out, TC did a world of difference! I really thought I had remembered to turn that off before.Anyway, I saw an immediate improvement (after the 3 4 slower laps getting used to the handling).

Defeating the Swiss marked a new start for the competition, placing the future of the event in the cooperation between BMW Oracle, the GGYC and the new Challenger of Record, the Club Nautico di Roma and its Mascalzone Latino team. Unlike the invalid Spanish club of 2007, this Italian team has been involved in America’s Cup racing since 2002. Could the Cup recover and get back on track?

Its also interesting to think that the Prius battery causes more damage to the environment during its creation, than a car does in 10 years of driving. I find it hard to believe we cant do better than this? Power from the spin of the wheels? power from the air gushing over the speeding vehicle, the rain that lands on it, the sun hitting the roof. And they cant use any of that? As you said, we have all these computers. laptops that can run for 7+ hours on a small battery. But our cars. Nope!

Opinion can be unpopular unless it blatantly a hateful post. Hostile, rude and aggressive behavior is not a necessity to express your opinion. Please be civil and and have respect. Bear in mind that justifying or endorsing pedophilia activities (sidenote: discussion on treatments of the mental health itself is fine), rape, race issues, assault or other similar crimes will usually count as hate speech. This does not mean you get banned for saying one crime is not as severe as another or saying you can understand why someone would commit a crime. Race baiting is a ban able offence

It’s a small car. I went from a sports car to a Mini, which to me was a big jump in size. A lot of people complain that these cars have very little storage space. It’s not meant to be a family car, it’s meant to be a fun car that can barely fit four people. I can hold a lot in my car, it just requires a bit of effort. However, the more expensive models have more space.

Instead, the real money can be made with Ferraris that have a racing heritage. Bonhams sold a 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO in 2014 for $38.1 million, which set a new world auction record at the time. That was broken four years later, when RM Sotheby’s found a buyer willing to drop $48.4 million for one. A third 250 GTO exchanged hands for $70 million in a private sale.

It’s not too badly priced, either. The basic kit starts at 16,000, but you will, of course, need to spend a lot more to get those kind of figures. Some people say you should invest about 60,000 in a new Ultima, and like the Factory Five Racing GTM, carbon brakes would be a nice addition.

YDS currently rides in a Diono Rainier in our SUVs. He’s comfy there, and I love the seat. I tried the Rainier in the X3 during our test drive and it didn’t seem like a great fit; however there wasn’t enough time to really do a full install with the AA. The passenger seat had to be pretty far up. I’d be the passenger and I’m not too sure about riding with my knees against the dash. ODS is in the back seat too (Britax Frontier, harnessed, 46 and 46″ with a long torso at nearly 5yo; not ready for a booster due to immaturity), so not enough space for me to fit in the back on a regular basis. YDS is 21 months. At 18 months, he was slightlyunder 50th percentile for height and weight, 24 and 32″. I’m hoping to RF (rear facing) until he’s at least 3 yo, but preferably longer if I can.

Hardware Make sure the glides are of a good quality and are soft close (a standard these days). Ask your retailer how they handle requests for broken glides and hardware a year or years down the road. As for hinges, are they self closing? Are they of good quality? The hinge on your door actuates a lot in the course of its life, and you do not want to be constantly adjusting the hinges or replacing them.

Starting in 1981 there’s the DeLorean DMC 12, which was pretty much a classic the moment it came off the line. Then in the mid 1980′s there’s the Buick Grand National (and even better the Grand National GNX). A black muscle car from Buick that is sure to be desirable well into the future.

The Jaguar XK R is the second most powerful car on this list with over 500 raging horses under the hood; it looks fantastic and has a supercharger. So why is it so far down on this list? Weight. Despite having twice the engine displacement and 150 extra horsepower, the XK R is 16 seconds behind the TT RS, the next slowest car on the list, around the Nrburgring. Sixteen seconds! What this goes to show is that, like the Z4, the XK R is probably more comfortable going on a spirited weekend drive around the countryside than it is on a racetrack. While this certainly isn’t a bad thing there is definitely a market for GT cars such as this the relaxed driving style of the XK R isn’t going to be enough to get it higher on the list. Although it’s slower to 60 than others on this list, it’ll still plant you into the back of the leather seats when you put the automatic transmission into Dynamic Mode and floor it.

Some people will say that you can just go to your fire station or police department. You can’t! It’s best to look it up because it will tell you where you can get it checked, whether you can drop by/if they have a car seat check once a month or every couple of months/if you have to make an appointment. I live in a metro with 2.4 million people and we only have 21 places to get seats checked. Out of those 21 places, we have 2 you can stop by any day of the week at any time, 2 you can make an appointment for any time during their business hours, and the rest either have monthly/bimonthly/quarterly car seat check fairs. I had to set my appointment 24 days in advance because the children’s hospital was so booked out. I would suggest figuring out how to get yours checked soon.

It took me a few months of investigation to find a way around this roadblock. If you find yourself in the same boat, I recommend seeking out an insurance broker who has experience in dealing with US military personnel. I know it is a little ‘out of the box’, but it is a solution that worked for me. The United States has major military bases located in Germany and as a result a large number of service personnel are stationed there. As many of these soldiers need to arrange car insurance, they represent a significant insurance market and the major insurers in Germany make exceptions to their rules accordingly. With some work, the broker I found was able to use their contacts to submit my Australian insurance history via these channels. A short time later, I was holding my new and very acceptable insurance quote. I was provided with the second lowest quote possible, which was a great result. I used Culpeck Insurance and I am happy to recommend them for absolutely no financial reward. Their staff provided me with a service that saved me thousands of Euro. As far as I am concerned, I owe them one. Their website link is listed at the bottom of this article.

Overall, I am happy with my purchase. I love the stylish exterior and it is incredibly fast and fun to drive. It is so compact, the car fits in any size parking space. I also love the incredible amount of storage it has in the trunk more than you would imagine.

2. Factory Five Racing Type 65 DaytonaThere aren’t many cars that are more beautiful than the AC Cobra, but this is one of them. Based on the super rare, race spec only 1964/1965 Shelby Daytona, this is a stunning kit for those wanting something a little special and rare. They only ever built six originals, so there aren’t too many floating about.

He recently got an F80/82 BMW M3 or M4 and he still happy with his purchase.Is it the smartest financial decision? Well no there no way you can justify it no matter how you cut it. BUT with that said can you say that it gives you $75,000 worth of enjoyment? For some people maybe, others not so much.tl;dr Yes you can buy it but should you.

Warhol began his working life as a commercial illustrator, but it was obvious that he was onto something new. He began by drawing pictures of shoes, and was also commissioned to paint a campaign of cars for BMW. He attended what is now Carnegie Mellon Institute, and in 1949 began working in New York City, illustrating magazines, later developing a technique for silk screening. Many people are familiar with his iconic painting of a Campbell’s Soup Can, and he had his first gallery showing in 1962, in the Ferus Gallery of Los Angeles. This was his first solo effort, and soon after he had a gallery showing in New York as well, at Eleanor Ward’s Stable Gallery. As his career picked up, he began painting dollar bills, mushrooms, Coca Cola bottles and the Campbell’s Soup Cans. There was a symposium of his work at New York’s Metropolitan Art Museum in December of 1962, but he was criticized for giving in to commercialism.

I try to avoid being in anyone blind spot as much as possible: never merge into a lane in a way that would put you in their blind spot, if the road isn crowded then switch lanes so you won be in their blind spot, speed up to be in their blind spot for as little time as possible, never count on anyone using their turn signals. I mean, how would I feel if somebody come runnin in the gym and bust me in my ass while I on the treadmill? Then I saw this snarling beast guy, and I noticed he had a tissue in his hand, and bfakn.club I realizing, y he not snarling, he sneezing. Y ain no real threat there. Then I saw little Tiffany. I thinking, y eight year old white girl, middle of the ghetto, bunch of monsters, this time of night with quantum physics books? She about to start some shit, Zed. She about eight years old, those books are WAY too advanced for her. If you ask me, I say she up to something.
