    The Bad Drivers of Ontario Thread

    Massive fines don't affect the driver unless the driver was planning the crash. They would however make the company think about their safety policies and hiring systems. How stinking hard would it be to retrofit a safety switch into the bed that only allows the bed up in first gear? All...

    Honda's losses..

    I disagree but that's a long argument. What is interesting is the market share held by China and the future of EVs (And so many other products) built in North America. A lot of that is price based. To build a national product it helps to have the natural resources, low labour costs, and...

    Honda's losses..

    I'm glad the numbers work for your driving pattern but the battery cost premium doesn't fit my situation. Get the battery cost down to a couple of thousand and I might switch. How expensive are EVs to manufacture? Development costs have to be high, not only the battery tech but the machinery...

    E bikes rampaging Toronto streets

    Manual shift transmissions are safer

    Semantics, but aren't automatics the standard transmission these days? Not fun in stop and go but makes you part of the car in twisties. Also reduces brake wear.

    New HD CEO has a Plan.............

    Some people follow religions that have preached the same sermons forever. Some people buy time shares and vacation in the same place every year. Some eat the same thing for breakfast and pick the same donut. Predictable and reliable isn't all bad. They stick by the same beer, same bike and...

    New HD CEO has a Plan.............

    Where is Cadillac, known for 7 liter V-8 and RWD barges. Also known for chubby bankers with one foot in the grave. What has been their success on changing that and could HD learn anything about evolution? (Not their evo motor)

    With beef running about a dollar an ounce, conventional restaurants can't compete with cultures that don't try to eat the whole cow in one seating. The North American diet is hard on the arteries and wallet.

    On a $100 of food the 15% tip is $15. Tax on tip@ 18% = $20.35, about 35% over the old standard. The tip on tax goes to the restaurant, not into paying down our deficits. Ten years ago the food could have been $60 with a $9.00 tip now its 225% higher for the same meal. Anyone else get a 225%...
