First, let’s look at the tweet that started all this: — Clare Eliza (@clare_eliza) January 29, 2023 So, Clare there owns a BMW i4, and lives in the UK, seemingly on a steep hill. Clare captioned this with “sentences that would make your nan’s head explode,” and I think we can include most rational people who live in our current reality along with Clare’s nan there, because the idea that a computer can’t update its software because it’s on a hill makes no logical sense, at least based on most people’s experiences with computers and hills....

As you all probably know by now, I love writing about ridiculous transportation projects. Learning and writing about colossal planes, crazy powerful trains, custom motorcycles, and novel RV concepts brings me a lot of joy. I even love weird boats. The MTT Turbine Motorcycle combines aviation and motorcycles into something that resulted in Australian Motorcycle News writing “It’s bloody mad and extremely scary. I’ll tell you what it feels like: it feels like bungee-jumping, except with the bungee pulling you forwards and not upwards....

Salute, Alfa! Yeah, I think that would be my choice too, if I had to choose one. But it would be fun to fix up the Rover strictly for the reactions it would get at the Portland All-British Field Meet. I don’t think I’ve ever seen one there. You know what else I haven’t seen, at least in a very long time? A third-generation Honda Civic hatchback, or a Mazda 323 sedan....

I’ve known Myron for years because he’s probably the most unique car collector in the world. He doesn’t have everything, but everything he has is fascinating. From an Autech Zagato Stelvio AZ1 to a Citroën CX to some random Greek models, his cars are all of the I-better-stop-and-look-at-it variety. Also, as you’ll see in the video above of the podcast below, he’s a delight. I don’t know Mark Brinker, but he’s got a wonderful collection from all over the world, including some cool Japanese stuff like a Datsun Sports 2000, a Nissan March R, and a Nissan Cherry X-1R....

Before we dig into this a bit, let’s just take a moment to look at the two main characters here: the Falcon and the Corvair. Both were entries in the relatively new compact car segment, but the two cars really couldn’t have been more different. The Falcon was an extremely conventional car design, essentially a scaled-down Ford Galaxie. It used an inline-six making about 95 horsepower driving the rear wheels, a unibody with coil spring suspension up front and old-school leaf springs on a live axle in back....

I’ll be honest and say that my move is an absolute disaster. Nearly a decade in Michigan, a single man with too much space, an obsession with large machines — it all adds up to shit, a whole lot of shit. And I’ve got to get rid of it, pronto. But packing is really the least of my concerns at this point; I’ve got to run this publication, write the finale for Project Cactus (and help edit the video!...

Although the original design of Bitcoin was for it to be used as an alternative payment system that operated independently of any governments and worked beyond borders, most people buy cryptocurrency as an investment, buying and selling on the market to make money or holding the currency as a long-term moneymaking plan. As a decentralized funding system, cryptocurrency does not rely on any real-world items or promises from governments to have value – instead, it is given value through the blockchain....

I hope that this article gives you the answer to what happened to Rabb.it and where did it all go wrong for the company. So, What happened to Rabb.it?

Really, I stopped because I knew my coworker Jason would have a lot to say about the vehicle’s lighting situation. The rear taillight, in particular, is truly special, as Jason makes clear in his analysis below. As for what I have to say about this machine? Well, naturally I slid underneath to look at the hardware. Now that we know what we’re looking at, let’s check out what’s going on underneath....

Every great organization needs a great leader. But the best leadership method has long been debated. Here, we take a closer look at servant leadership. Individuals and corporations have followed different leadership methods over the years. For example, Walt Disney followed a participative leadership model, and Britain’s first female Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher, was known for her effective authoritative leadership. A less common management strategy in modern society, is the servant leadership model....

It was under these dangerously balmy conditions late this fall that I received a text from a longtime colleague and friend who is presently in the tow business named Todd: “Blue Jeep; runs. They’re getting rid of it today or tomorrow if you’re interested, my dude. Cheap.” You see, The Port City of Wilmington is home to my alma mater, The University of North Carolina at Wilmington, and since ’47, has been known as a college town....

And if you don’t want this conversation to go any further, there are some bitter responses as well. Agreed that our generation really has no time for formalities and politeness, they expect everything to be clear and straightforward from the very beginning. But, being impatient and rude is not a good choice either. Maybe that person is new to texting, or perhaps he is shy by nature. If receiving a simple Hey text frustrates you, with some good and funny responses you can give the conversation some reason to go to any topic and make the conversation possible....

Just like flowers bloom every spring season, in similar way fashion changes every year and hair plays a real role in polishing one’s beauty. Having bangs hair is one of the easiest ways to alter your look. In most cases, bang hairs become the identity of some women and others recognize them easily noticing bangs. A Canadian-born fashion model says; “I wore blunt bangs since my childhood and it’s the first thing that people notice about me is my bangs hair”....

I’ve been getting personal in my time here at The Autopian. I probably have a whole library of stories that I either haven’t been able to tell before or have been lost into the abyss of the internet. I’m happy to have great friends and editors here who let me pour my heart out. One of the most influential moments in my life was in 2018 when I took a little Smart Fortwo off-road....

A Cornell University study showed that the excitement and planning of a trip could increase a person’s happiness levels much more than the anticipation of splurging on material goods. And what does this mean? Well, it implies that even the mere thought of a trip can elevate our mood and do wonders for our state of mind. So, just because there are still some restrictions on travel doesn’t mean you should stop adding destinations to your bucket list and keep planning that future trip or weekend getaway....
