I've often wondered I about the (top trumps?) obsession with raw horsepower, when power / weight ratio is a better performance metric given that we are talking about cars, not power stations . Because math(s) is hard? Or better yet given F = MA , thrust per unit mass?

Thanks to this video And these inexpensive parts I was able to implement this http://www.driveaccord.net/forums/15-7th-generation/42915-diy-power-steering-pump-o-ring-tsb.html And it works as described (No more noise from the steering pump at startup on cold mornings) (No air in system due to loose seal, so no cavitation in pump, I'm guessing) Thanks Internet

Not so much for me, but I can I imagine others being put off their food / beverage / sleep, if they weren't anticipating / expecting such things. Glad you are in a position to be able to debate the merits / trade-offs, and have options. Better than the alternative.

Spoiler tags if you please ... Are those birth year staples?

Meanwhile, Honda announced it's Clarity Fuel Cell vehicle (FCV) http://blog.caranddriver.com/tomorrowland-we-drive-hondas-new-fuel-cell-vehicle/ http://www.telegraph.co.uk/cars/honda/fcv/ EDIT: + http://www.wired.com/2015/10/honda-clarity-hydrogen-fuel-cell-sales

Sounds like European Socialism. Why not add single payer Healthcare, free at the point of use, for all, while you are dreaming

Longer than to refuel a Hydrogen fuel cell vehicle . Toyota were quoting refueling for 300 mile range in 5 minutes or less, which seems real world practical , even if as Elon states the end to end efficiency of a pure electric is higher. Different approach, different trade offs, pick the one that best fits your use case. I could see it being more practical for people without a dedicated garage / parking space / overnight charging point. Needs a more pervasive infrastructure, and more economies of scale. Ubiquitous fusion power would help both camps. http://www.bbc.com/news/business-33005362 http://evobsession.com/hydrogen-cars-vs-electric-cars-detailed-comparison-efficiency/

I got to drive a pre-production hydrogen fuel cell vehicle (Toyota Mirai (it means future)) around San Francisco, briefly, today. The required infrastructure isn't really in place yet, and Elon Musk has said why are we even having this conversation (wrt. Electric vs hydrogen powered cars) but still cool nonetheless. TCO doesn't make sense for me but it does get you a white HOV Lane sticker. P.S. don't mention the Hindenburg

Not up to Colin's spread but still tasty

Indubitably

Happy Birthday!
