Out of interest, what is the minimum driving age? Over here it is 17 for cars, 16 for mopeds and 16 for tractors and farm equipment. (screw it, removed some of the farming bit was getting too complex with too much contradictory info)
There are other members that you would probably be better off asking about that particular car. From what I have seen on these forums providing you get a good one people seem to like them, I also haven't heard any members moaning about bad reliability. My understanding is that you will want to buy one that has the least chance of being abused in order to get the most structurally sound vehicle you can, so getting to know which police forces replace cars most often and/or maintain their cars best etc. But I live in the UK, so at most I may have seen one in a museum or at a car show. Never mind know anyone who has owned one.
Am i the only one who thinks that mazda is an awesome company? Everyone moves on to electric and hybrid cars and they stick to combustion. Everyone moves to small engines they stick to high cc engines. Everyone turbocharges theyr cars they supercharge them and theyre also the only company that still tries to improve wankels.
Sure, if you want to completely ignore that Hyundai have openly been developing the same engine tech for ages now (for example: https://www.autoblog.com/2013/11/15/hyundai-twin-charged-gdci-engine-more-efficient-than-diesel/) with Audi and a couple other companies also also working on similar engines over a similar amount of time. One difference from Mazda to Hyundai though would be that Hyundai's engine is is twin charged (essentially turbo + super charger used together). Presumably all the hype is because Mazda have released plans to put one in a car first (I haven't done my research on that bit) but the other companies will get there too. One thing I have seen noted is that these engines could be super efficient in a hybrid generator config. Since you can run the engine at its peak rpm constantly to generate electricity to power an EV. With the efficiency improvements over conventional petrol engines they could be the way forward for hybrids too. Since the 25% efficiency improvement is also very important there too.
16 for cars, I dunno about farm equipment. Probly 16 where it's road legal. It's different from state to state for cars. It's mostly 16, though, with a few that are 16 and a half or 17, and also one or two that are 15 and 14. Tennessee has a learners motorcycle license that you can get at 14 or 15, and you can ride a motorcycle under 200cc or so within 20 miles of your house during daylight hours or something. Yes. Gotta know what to look for though.
In rural areas cops will usually turn a blind eye towards people of pretty much any age operating farm equipment on the road unless they're causing trouble.
I actually think that the hybrid has more future than the electric car the one with an electric engine and petrol as a range extender
I started completely from scratch and came up with this. I think it fixes pretty much all the problems with the old design, at least as best as they can be. If anyone here has any intersections near them they'd like me to do, let me know. I'm still playing around with the rules and would like to do more.
Isn't that why british sports cars were popular? Mind you the car i want can be pretty unreliable in a few places but that is to be expected from a 90s Mitsubishi performance car. at least my parents have quite a few spare cars around for me to use if things go wrong (i will have to fix my own problems as i would be going through my auto mechanic apprenticeship).
British sports cars were popular because they were lightweight, fast and cheap. Reliability was traditionally not very good hence why many people stopped buying British cars and bought German and Japanese cars instead. Modern British sports cars tend to fall into two categories: Sports Cruisers (such as Jaguar and Aston Martin etc). Which aren't too bad for reliability (compared to comparable cars), however when they do break it will cost you a lot. Super lightweight sports cars (Such as Lotus, Caterham etc). These actually tend to be very reliable. There are few parts to break due to simplicity, the drivetrains usually originate from Toyota which are reliable already, then they are put in cars half the weight of a Toyota meaning the engines are unstressed further helping reliability. You will also see some that are Ford and Honda based. There are some cars that are kinda in the middle of the two camps like the Lotus Evora, which is heavier and more comfortable than a lightweight with a nice interior, yet still has a reliable Toyota engine and drivetrain. However my understanding is that replacing the clutch is very expensive on the Evora, since it is difficult to get to.
(Grandad's and uncle's shared "fun" car that they assembled together, certainly gets my approval ) As far as cars go they are actually pretty cheap (although they don't depreciate as much as similarly priced cars, so second hand is expensive but probably won't make a huge loss on selling it). As for mad Go karts, they tend to be more controllable due to the wheelbase with front(mid) engine and rear wheel drive. I guess the difference is that a 7 style vehicle can be drifted whereas you would need some serious skills to drift a Go Kart afaik. So for an entry level Caterham: If you want it pre assembled it will add just over £2500 to the price, if you want to add windows, doors and a roof that will also be an extra £1250, so the starting price is a little misleading.
Could you please do this: It is currently being reconstructed in a not very wise way, so I'd like to see your idea. I tried myself, but ended up with a gigantic cloverleaf interchange that wasn't much better than the official reconstruction plan. Red means traffic jams Orange means heavy traffic with occasional traffic jams Yellow means intense traffic Green means light traffic Don't forget about pedestrian crossings! Bridges and tunnels are acceptable.
