Indeed it is bad but not as bad a raw methane release — ideally we absolutely wouldn’t be in this position in the first place where we’ve managed our organic waste so badly, but it is indeed better — right now — to burn methane than release it. However it should be done at very high temp with CCS tech attached.
The Car thread
- Thread starter 6thElement
- Start date
CCS technology when deployed at carbon point source production (such as a well planned and managed landfill, or a good modern waste-to-heat plant) can actually be cost positive (107% is the record I think) and carbon negative (as you can use waste heat to avoid other emissions too, although you could argue this is a ‘cheat’). Not too shabby though.
The payback is decadal though and whenever possible it is best to produce heat or power from renewables (of course) but in situations where there is a ‘locked-in’ carbon or methane release then it should be done.

My brother frenched the seats in his '60 C10 and I can't get over how great it looks. This whole build is ridiculous.
Nope, won't happen IMO. Hydrogen maybe for planes, ships, maybe for long-haul trucking...maybe, but for sports cars? No way. Battery cars are already eclipsing what ICE can do as far as performance.Hydrogen sports cars will, eventually, be light and clean and highly performant.

Hydrogen Program 2021 Annual Merit Review Opening Remarks
Opening remarks from U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm at the U.S. Department of Energy Hydrogen Program's 2021 Annual Merit Review and Peer Evaluation Meeting.
Germany, Japan, Saudi, even the UK are arguably ahead of you on this path. I do love your ‘1 for 1 for 1’ plan though and I hope you can pull it off. As I said, as soon as this drops below the price of hydrocarbons watch shit go nuts.

Oh well, at least my bike fits in my hatch with lots of room to spare:

Matthews is corporate and won't take the risk buying used inventory right now, Vision is probably one of the worst dealerships I have ever seen and all the others are too small to buy up inventory. West Herr is buying up dealerships left and right in your area, they should have some good stuff on their lots?
Pretty much anything you ask CARFAX about anything they give the same answer, "we can't tell you, it is a trade secret".
Makes so much sense, as in every car should come like that, not just a few "4 door coupes". The VW Arty is also decent, a little bigger on the interior size.
The thing about the hatch is for the "in a pinch" situations. I don't intend on carrying a bike in the back of a hatch, just want the option.
Almost my first car, thank God my sister totaled it. I think it was an '82.
I had an '81 2-dr "sedan" followed by an '81 2-dr hatchback. The sedan was a rusted-out shitbox, but the hatchback was... well, a clean shitbox. Went all over hell's half acre in those shitbox cars.
It was my folks first Toyota once most of the kids were out of the house. Around '86 they put a brand new crate motor in it and gave it to my sister when she went to UCSB. She managed to plow it into a row of parked cars rendering it DOA.I had an '81 2-dr "sedan" followed by an '81 2-dr hatchback.

My folks upgraded to the first Camary. Then had like 6 more after that.

The hatchback had a blown motor... the sedan's motor was still decent... so we swapped the motor into the clean body car. #alsocoolstorybro

From Special-Order-Only to No-Orders-Forever, Volvo's V90 Wagon Is Discontinued In U.S.
Another victim of Americans' SUV craze.
Ironically, I actually saw one today, not an XC version, but the honest to goodness V90 in dark red. That's one wide and flat car.'Merica!

Sounds terrible. Do they even have MAGA flags on top of their Volvos?
I was talking with somebody about how the v60 is likely on the chopping block next and he actually chided me because I got an Audi over the Volvo, but I was disappointed that they were getting rid of the wagons. He couldn't get over the fact that there is no AWD V60 between the Cross-county and Polestar, and that's exactly where the All-Road falls. I drove a v60 r-design and really liked it. A little under-powered (you can get that Polestar tuned cheaply to resolve that issue), but cosmetically really nice with good handling - BUT it's FWD only. Realistically, we would have spent a lot more time going back and forth between Volvo and Audi if an AWD R-Design had been available. It's just the $25k advantage the All-Road has over the P*.
I really would like a stupid car like the P*, but reality says I can get something in the All-Road range. So Volvo... Give me an in-between car. A $45-55k AWD, intermediate performance wagon. I don't NEED Ohlins. I don't need a custom, P* only interior. I don't need Brembo's. You can literally pick up a good chunk of the wagon market by just providing an AWD wagon, that isn't the same height as an Outback, for $45-55k. /rant
No, that is not a Tesla beater.
Today though, this was a Tesla beater. #1 in amateur.
Why, trying to shave a few tenths of a second on your laps around the strip mall?
Raw and Pax. Had a good run on my 3rd out of 4th on the 1st set. On my second set I couldn't match it. My front tires were folding over, so I kept adding pressure, but I dunno if it was making me slower. We had one real hard turn you were coming into from like 50-60 and slamming it into 1st (I have rev-match that makes it easy) and making a u-turn, but that loaded the hell out of the front tires. They showed the marks of folding over, so I kept adding pressure, but I kept getting slower. I tend to drive more and more aggressively with subsequent runs, which is probably also making me slower.
After seeing the video of the GT3 Touring at Goodwood, I have to say that car with a 6 speed is the ultimate car. That is the perfect drivers car. Now I need to sell some organs.
I really like the look of most Porsche cars, then I hear that engine and want to vomit.
I hate triple motorcycle engines just slightly more.
After a week trip I want a bigger set-up, looked at current car prices, back to not buying anything.

after having an ascent as a loaner, wife complained the entire vacation about how cramped the outback is.
