Monday, April 19, 2010. An Update from the Front Lines in the War on the Car. While you might think that it would be yours truly giving you an update in the War on the Car, I'm merely using this post to pass on a link to what could be seen as a rather humorous piece postulating an actual war between cars and people. except that it's not really imaginary, it's reality, and what the piece describes, is truth:. The war on The Car: An update. Cashout perfect money to bank account. Bitcoin to Bank account.

underground science: My ideal hybrid diesel/electric all-purpose vehicle
http://undergroundscience.blogspot.com/2006/01/my-ideal-hybrid-dieselelectric-all.html
Tuesday, January 03, 2006. My ideal hybrid diesel/electric all-purpose vehicle. What would my ideal vehicle be, for driving from America to Argentina nonstop (except perhaps for the ferry from Panama to Ecuador)? It would be based on something that was a cross between a Jeep Commander, a Toyota Pathfinder, a Jeep Liberty, a Subaru Forester, a Saturn VUE, a Volvo Cross Country and a Unimog. Basically, it would:. Seat 5 normally, with the option for a 3rd row of seating in a pinch to accommodate 7-8. Opera...

underground science: New cars -- lots of poor options. New bikes -- lots of great options!!
http://undergroundscience.blogspot.com/2007/11/new-cars-lots-of-poor-options-new-bikes.html
Thursday, November 15, 2007. New cars - lots of poor options. New bikes - lots of great options! So, in the past year in the USA, more bikes were sold than cars. Maybe it's because most new cars these days pretty much suck (poor gas mileage, wars required overseas to provide fuel, expensive for any level of durable quality, high maintenance costs beginning 5-7 years after purchase, etc.), whereas there are a LOT of really good options for new bicycles! These have also been lots of advances in lighting te...

http://undergroundscience.blogspot.com/2009/03/theres-diesel-fiesta-in-europe.html
Friday, March 06, 2009. There's a diesel Fiesta in Europe. And you're not invited, American. You can't have it. It gets 65 mpg. And does 0-60 in 12 seconds, which is plenty fast when you're getting 65 mpg (up to 73 mpg on the highway). It's called the Ford Fiesta ECOnetic. And it is an updated version for this year of the popular Ford Fiesta diesel that has been available in Europe for years. In fact, the existing European diesel Ford Fiesta.

underground science: Obama's speech tonight hit it out of the park.
http://undergroundscience.blogspot.com/2011/09/obama-speech-tonight-hit-it-out-of-park.html
Friday, September 09, 2011. Obamas speech tonight hit it out of the park. He did an excellent job articulating his messages, he showed emotion, and he did effective combat against a lot of the anti-intellectual ideas that the opposition has been throwing up recently. I predict that his new for-the-people offense will prove successful in passing the jobs for america act. The question is, did he write enough oomph into it to provide an effective-enough boost to the economy to ensure his re-election? I'm a ...

Tuesday, December 11, 2007. Bakfiets: The station wagon of bicycles. Bakfiets (plural: "bakfietsen") came out of the Netherlands - thus the funny name, which means "wagon bike" (and can be shortened to simply "BAK"). But bakfietsen are now available in the United States, through Clever Cycles. A distributor and retailer in Portland, OR. There are also plans. Made in Eugene, Oregon (already American-made! For some time now. I'm in love. Here are some features of the original Dutch version:. To keep the ca...
