    Just drove a 2016 ZO6

    I know numerous people who own later model ZO6s. None have fallen apart. One might criticize the earlier C5 and C6 cars for so-so interior fit and finish but overall reliability just isn't a problem.

    Iv drip question

    You may want to experiment with some kind of gravity drip through a small orifice like a hypodermic needle. At a few drops a day it's going to be tough to throttle down a regular IV bag drip that low. Much will depend on the viscosity of the oil and that might help you. If you can find...

    Top 10 things that annoy me - how bout you?

    Guys that absolutely must use the stall toilet standing up instead of the freely open and available urinal. Oh, they might put up the seat but never fail to leave drops of urine on the rim.

    Pathetic...the sad state of the music industry

    I am about the same age. And I suppose each new generation thinks their music is the best. But when I think back over the short time from 1960-1970 I am continually amazed. There was such a wide expanse of great music in many genres in just 10 short years. You had Doo-Wop, "oldies"...

    RIP Spock.

    Maybe we will see re-runs of that show where he was a F1 race driver that gained psychic power after a crash... Baffled! http://youtu.be/8By-fCGpiFM

    What A Bunch Of Wussys At Sony!

    I suspect the reason why Sony is and will remain quiet (and not release anything) is because the hackers still have a lot of embarrassing info that can be released. -J

    What is APPLE planning?

    I picked up an iPad Air 2 tonight as well. Gold, 128GB, WiFi, if I need 4G will use my iPhone hot spot. My original iPad Gen 1 went to the wife. Beautiful construction quality. Can't imagine the need to make it any thinner than this. Will use Apple wireless keybd when needed at desk. Plan...

    What is APPLE planning?

    Yeah, Google did it before but like so many other things Google does, they did it haftfast. Did Google go the extra mile to align and sign up banks and merchants like Apple has?

    I spent Thursday at The White House

    With all the news about recent security lapses, I'm surprised you were allowed to wander around. But then again, nothing surprises me anymore.

    Drove a Tesla P85 awhile ago...

    The Model S has a lot of room too. Perhaps more than many SUVs. With the exception of 3rd row seating of course.

    Drove a Tesla P85 awhile ago...

    I know it's kind of crazy. You really don't "feel" the weight though. And because that weight is only 6 inches off the ground - the car handles like a dream. There's no real way to describe this unless you've driven one. If you haven't driven one yet - do yourself a favor. Even if you have...

    The price is high. But the cost may be lower than expected. Here's a Net Present Value spreadsheet that looks at total cost over 8 years. http://www.teslacost.com/ I agree the interior could use a little work. It is Spartan. Once you drive it...it's hard to go back. Can you imagine what...

    Drove a Tesla P85 awhile ago...

    Yes, I think the chemistry stuff is trade secret "formula" kind of stuff. I mentioned the patents only as an indicator of how much Tesla has contributed to EVs. And as you know, Tesla then opened up all their patents as well.

    Drove a Tesla P85 awhile ago...

    Tesla did not need government money to get started. Startup capital was all private. They incorporated in July 2003. It wasn't until 6 years later that Tesla took advantage of government low interest loans. And it was Tesla that fully repaid the government whereas Ford, did not. And I'm far...

    Drove a Tesla P85 awhile ago...

    http://articles.sae.org/11923/ Just look at what they did with the Roadster. Originally the pack delivered about 250 miles - the new pack with the next gen batteries provide 400 miles. Same number and size of batteries...

    Drove a Tesla P85 awhile ago...

    Tesla used a commodity battery size - but made significant updates and advancements to chemistry, electrodes, electrolytes, cooling systems, etc. These are NOT commodity batteries at all. Even the casing and the way the unit is sealed is a new design. They also didn't buy off the shelf motors...

    Own or considering a Chevy Volt?

    This might interest a few... http://www.teslacost.com/ It's for the Tesla Model S but the framework and calcs could be for any electric or hybrid. Seems that an 8 year NPV calculation shows the Model S on par with a Honda Odyssey. -J

    Drove a Tesla P85 awhile ago...

    Exactly!! And to think they nailed it so convincingly with their first real effort completely from scratch is so amazing. The continued expansion of the Supercharger network and the battery improvements have made this a done deal. All these trend curves are going to intersect real soon...

    Drove a Tesla P85 awhile ago...

    And I have to say, I'm spoiled. I feel that every gas engined car that I now drive sucks. The lack of low-end power/torque, the thrashing of mechanical parts, the drivetrain slop, the noise, the seemingly needless transmission shifting (be it manual or automatic) and so on. I used to enjoy...

    iphone 6

    This whole BendyGate is a joke fueled by AAPL stock shorters, Android fans who detest anything Apple and the media - who loves a good story where the leader gets bashed. Having said that... I do think that the myopic focus on making phones thinner and thinner has reached a point of diminishing...
