xXxDANMANxXx Every other news station doesn't lie like fox, it's not that the other news networks are liberal biased, they just tell the truth, and it frequently doesn't line up with what republicans want to believe. it's not left bias, it's truth bias
1:51 -- that's the opposite lol republicans are supposed to say that, fox news is one news station, the rest of the media is left, and yes, every news station spins things a little, some more than others, fox news has right wingers yes, but I've seen channels like msnbc openly attack right wingers. So you see a lot more blame and attacks from every other news station, therefore appointing my negative attention to republicans while the lefties don't notice it until it happens to them.
@logik316 Its not just the electronics, its mounds of plumbing and auxilliary eqipment, in addition to pressurized fuel system components. Simple replacement of a fuel pump on Tahoes/Suburbans costs about TWO grand. And no, carbs rarely require adjustment, nor do points--you're talking about tech. from over fifty years ago, pre-electronic ignition. Modern cars are garbage--don't argue with me, but with the unchanging laws of thermodynamics, poor engineering, non-interchangeability...
Granted, if your engine electronics go on the fritz, it's unlikely you'll be able to fix it at the side of the road with a screwdriver. But on average, you'll go over 100,000 miles without a problem, and I like not having to change a distributor cap or readjust my carburetor or ignition points every 10K -20k miles or so.
@logik316 For better performance; mileage is purely an afterthought. If you tried to sell a guy on putting a FI 2.0L in his Chevy, he'd slap you on the back and say, "GOOD ONE!" And many carbureted so-called "clunkers" actually get as good or better mileage as fuel injection, it just depends on the application. And they cost far less, since they are infinitely rebuildable and tuneable; whereas when your FI takes a dump, you're in the hole for $ thousands, even excluding its other costs.
"I just wish they'd apply modern fuel technology to a (attractive) conventional car--but there's no market for it."
Sure there is. Many classic car enthusiasts retrofit their old carbureted engines with aftermarket throttle body injection kits and oxygen sensor kits specifically manufactured for that purpose.
@shalcall Okay, so obviously you haven't listened to a single thing I've said. The "dust to dust" issue wasn't "debunked" by anyone but econuts and hybrid owners themselves--hardly an unbiased audience. And the fact that market demands, mounds of unnecessary electronics, and federal safety/environmental regulations have destroyed vehicle longevity and mpg is common f'ing knowledge in the industry. You're completely outta the park.
@thereinliestherib The "analysis" from dust to dust was debunked (at least for Prius vs H1). Look up the "Hummer versus Prius" paper from the Pacific Institute.
Now I agree that no hybrid can beat a bike, bus pass or pair of feet. But your average eighties clunker is, once again, making an assertion with absolutely nothing to back it up but your own "feelings" about the matter.
bet he's not saying that now :D
