6.3M Duhmericans late on their vehicle payments

Colin Furze made a flying bike. As much as I usuaaly enjoy his other projects, I really wish he would develop that one.

Have you seen the Iron Man rocket suit? Both look unstable, I'd hate to see them overhead. My hpoes are pinned on the RF resonant cavity thruster:

When I can unbolt the wheels tires and brakes from an Arcimoto FUV and bolt up three gimballed electrical thrusters, my dream will be complete.

I actually like the air-cooled VW engines, and many other air-cooled engines too, but in the last years I got to realize that liquid-cooling may not be so bad at all, despite the risk of groundwater contamination with the ethylene-glycol coolant fluids. Would be interesting to say the least if more automakers have resorted to that SACS system developed by Suzuki to use the lube oil as a coolant fluid. But anyway, since the main practical advantage of liquid-cooling is the ability to further lean the air/fuel ratio, maybe some supplemental water and alcohol injection could overcome that issue...
