Many years ago there was a consumer protection law that said an auto manufacturer had to guarantee parts availability for a given number of years, 10 to 15 years. It was complex. Obviously a bankruptcy flushes the toilet.

Big problem. How do you continually blip the throttle on an electric motorcycle?

Good catch. It would likely be a couple hundred dollars in police time to stop the biker, do the paperwork and wait for the less than excited tow and store. If the law is passed and enforced, bike prices will likely drop making storage an even bigger problem. At best we'll get a day or three of...

Not here but give it time.

Interesting start but will it scare many e-riders into compliance? As usual the release is as clear as mud. With no licence required for either the vehicle or rider the roadside procedure will tie up too much police time. What are the police expected to do, throw the bike into the back of the...

Jeff Foxworthy had a line "If you've ever had to climb a water tower to restore your sister's honour, you must be a redneck."

A story from a guy I worked with in the mid 1960's. He was in the folk music scene and Yorkville wasn't snob city. A half dozen guys came into one of the coffee shops and hassled the waitress, one asking for his coffee in a clean cup. When she brought the coffees she asked, "Which one of you...

As GG points out, a TO to MTL run would need a midway hot charge while you grab a coffee and change your diaper. Not a big deal but around the city the driver has to understand the battery is like a credit card with a very low limit. Sixty percent of card holders don't pay them off at the end of...

Generally speaking, it used to be that if a vehicle was't popular when it was new it wasn't popular when it got old.

Did he jump into Skydome at the opening gala? It was raining and the jumpers not happy. Nor were the other acts as their costumes got a pre-wash.

The local ship chandler will have good oil paint but in shippy colours. I have a bunch of spray guns including a 50+ year old DeVilbis but haven't used them for ages. The cleanup is hard to justify for small projects. The Graco battery model uses A DeWalt battery but is also available in Class...

The problem with the Tesla pickup is the stainless body and fingerprints. You have to take along your wife and her bottle of fridge polish everywhere you go. :)

Picked up some fresh scallops yesterday and was able to do a better job on the cooking than last time. Nice sear and moist inside. At $50 a pound I don't often get to practice.

Add gravy and a slab of prime rib.

Stock is everything in vintage. "Your 1938 Quirlry 345 Sport has a tail light from a 1937."

A guy I know has his investments spread over two or three advisors. When an advisor asks him why his reply is "You told me to diversify." Similarly, the only EV I'd go for is hybrid. I'm ICE now because the capital outlay doesn't let EVs work for me

All I've heard so far about Rob Reiner from Hollywood is positive. The scuttlebutt is his son did it. If he did, the "Why" is going to be the #1 question and speculation will be rampant.

I knew a guy that, as a kid, broke both ankles jumping off a roof, hopefully a bungalow. He said the Superman cape didn't help.

It's their space when they get tired of people.

FWIW
