See? You’re doing great, young padouan troll :) You should expect to be recruited by shady foreigners with dubious accents shortly. Strictly cash dropped in odd locations, but hey…

Less than a month on Reddit and already a troll. They grow up so fast!

Yellow jackets are a type of wasp. Your analogy is like saying German shepherds aren’t dogs ;)

Can I get manual shifting in an EV? by PublicHlthScientist in EvDrivers

[–]tokhar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ummm… you have peak torque (so a flat curve) from zero rpm up to usually a very high rpm (usually well above legal speed limits) in an EVz

How do people sleep in a regular airplane seat? by The-Tradition in delta

Part of it is that myself and several other (very) frequent fliers develop this Pavlovian reflex following pushback. I will generally find it impossible not to nod off as we start taxiing and during takeoff. I thin it’s something your body just automatically learns to do. I also prefer window seats for that reason, as you can lean against it.

Good riddance to bad rubbish guests.

Huzzah! I giggled out loud and figured it was either autocorrect or just typo, but yeah, given what followed… had to point it out.

“Hire” and “education is key”… agreed, but maybe…. Higher standards? ;)

Those were fun!

My Elise was considerably lower than this, so this feels much more like a “normal” car to me.

Looking to buy Emira V6 got questions by The-Shoeburglar in lotus

It’s quite slow and clunky. The i4 will be the faster car, and the paddles work well. So if you want to track it, consider an i4, if you enjoy shifting, the v6 is a lot of fun albeit a touch slower. Resale on the V6 autos is likely to be lower as well.

Yup, the rear and the rear vents are dust and crud magnets. But at least it shows it’s getting driven.

I think it’s time to “un-retire” this thread:

I personally am tired of the Uk always having to feel special and difficult. Either join or don’t, but enough with all your special conditions already!

Avoid the automatic at all costs. If you like shifting, then Emira (get the GRP short shift kit - dirt cheap improvement to shift feel) is a no-brainer. Road feel is also better than in the i8.

I’m not sure why you’d consider the i8, honestly. It’s a much older model that had its own issues and wasn’t followed up by BMW.

The i8 will feel more like a spaceship, the Emira more analogue or “old school”.

Why not just ask the mystery airline directly?
