According to Insurify, Nevada has the No. 7 highest auto insurance rates in the country, with the cost expected to rise to over $3,000 annually in the new year.
For reference, according to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, in 2022, the combined average premium in Nevada was $1,420.51.
Motor vehicle insurance rose 20.3 percent in 2023 over the previous year, according to the index.
According to the Consumer Price Index, motor vehicle insurance increased the most after eggs — based on goods and services it tracks — from 2023 to 2024, experiencing an 11.3 percent jump.
In 2024, the average cost of full coverage car insurance in Nevada was $2,973 annually, according to Insurify. The projected cost for 2025 is $3,214, an 8 percent increase.
He optioned it with air conditioning, power steering, a center console, and posi. Overall, the extras added up to over $1,500, more than half the base price $2,879 of a regular Camaro Sport Coupe.
In 1966, Oldsmobile offered the L69 option to compete with the tri power GTO.
The 6-bbl Olds horsepower matched the GTO’s. Because the GTO had such great marketing and advertising, only 2,129 Oldsmobiles were ordered with triple two-barrel carburetors (and 1,171 of those were Cutlass Holiday Coupes)
the Hurst-supplied Digital Tachometer was bolted onto that dashboard and was optional, but it was available from the factory, and even had a bit of memory, where it stores the highest RPM recorded
and the weird hood scoop was called the Nassau Hood Duct, just raised louvers glued onto the hood. Looks to me like a rip off of the 1967 Coronet R/T hood louvers, also useless, but reversed
He owned his Bel Air convertible for only one year, nearly 70 years ago. Despite his decades-long veneration, no other family members had any first-hand experience with the car.
“I jumped in the car to start it up, and it just started sputtering. Lights started flashing, and there was a giant puff of white smoke,” Scott Bauchmoyer told the station.
Bauchmoyer told reporters with WOIO that he had to have his Jeep towed to the dealership, where a mechanic informed him that there was diesel in his gas tank and in the fuel lines. When speaking to the station, Bauchmoyer said that he wanted to be compensated by Circle K after repairs put him out $1,100, not including the cost of the tow and a rental.
After WOIO reported the situation, the driver of a Ford F350 called into the station and said that he had visited the same gas station. He told reporters with WOIO that his truck was now in the shop after it was pumped full of unleaded gas.
Circle K confirmed to WOIO that diesel was mistakenly added to the unleaded storage tanks and unleaded was added to the diesel storage tanks in what is known as a "cross drop."
In the fourth quarter, Mack’s order intake increased 58%. For the full year of 2024, the order intake was down 23%. Fully electric truck orders continued to grow, increasing 700% in the fourth quarter to 48 from 6 in the previous years, and for the full year rose to 144 from 24 in 2023.
By region, Mack order intake in the 4th quarter increased 62% in North America, 247% in South America, and declined 25% in Africa and Oceania. In the 4th quarter, Mack also saw an 87% increase in Heavy Duty truck orders, but a 40% decline in Medium Duty trucks.
I don't think it's clear that I'm absolutely not involved in the electric car vs internal combustion engine powered argument.
I know just what a waste of energy, and how much pollution is added to the atmo to mine the amount of raw metals it takes to make the electric car... and how easy electric cars become useless due to the 100 year old power grid infrastructure the govt can't afford to upgrade, due to wasting money (hello 2023 Biden administration for throwing 73 billion dollars to foreign country aid instead of upgrading USA bridges, roads, high speed rail train tracks, solving the homeless issue, installing water resevoirs in California to provide water to prevent wildfires from destroying 14,000 homes in So Cal in jan 2025, feeding the poverty level kids in public schools 2 meals per school day, etc)
But, I can certainly admire when a robo car can take itself from the factory, and efficiently park itself in synchronicity with hundreds of other cars, and await transportation for distribution. Makes me wonder... with the Tesla cars ever be allowed to DELIVER THEMSELVES to the buyer? After all, with manned charging stations? The cars would go from factory to new first buyer, without a driver, just getting charged along the way. Well, maybe robots from Boston Dynamics (those Terminator T-800 making bastards) could work the Super Charging stations...
And I think everyone that has had a ride in a Tesla can say it's a good car. Plus, everyone that's had a ride in the underground tunnels around the Las Vegas convention center will agree, that's a damn remarkable accomplishment too.. and the rocket delivery of satellites by the Space X (another Elon Musk corporation) has done NASA's job with unbelievable cost savings to the tax payer, with superb results for Starlink, now available to T Mobile cell phone users (plus all the unknown to me phone users) in areas without cell tower reception, like the wildfire zones of So Cal.
So, credit where it's due... Musk has accomplished as much or more than Henry Ford, or Edison, in a very different way, 100 years later.
Now, if he could pull off a high speed rail that links San Diego to LA to San Fran to Seattle/Vancouver then to Denver to Omaha, with a line then running south to St Louis, and linking back up with the outer circle of rail at Dallas.. meanwhile, back to Omaha to Minneapolis to Milwaukee to Chicago, Indy, Columbus, Wash DC, Baltimore, Philly, NYC, Raleigh, Charlotte, Atlanta, Nashville, Memphis, link at Dallas with the North/South line, then west to El Paso then Tucson, Phoenix, and back to San Diego
So, both coasts would have a line through the biggest cities, from North to South, and across the north states from West to East, and one line in the midwest from North to South, and across the South states from West to East.
That would get rid of the monopoly the airlines have on fast transportation, (anyone with a car can drive from California to Baltimore in 3 days, and Minneapolis to Orlando in 2) give the tourists a better way to see this country (similar to the European rail system) and possibly, if smart people realize how much power can be soaked up by solar arrays in the south west desert, the high speed rail could be powered without direct use of coal or oil burning power plants, but less expensive than nuclear power.
If there are super smart people, they will add to the right of way given to the high speed rail, a power grid, for the trains and distribution of power from coast to coast, and even water or oil pipelines.
It's potentially, as problem solving as the steam locomotive railway infrastructure was to pioneers who settled the west, installed power, telegraph and telephone, then finally got a power grid in the 1930s through the farming states, and the military was able to move vast amounts of materials and soldiers during WW2.
The airline is encouraging its employees to join the campaign and is hosting a number of road shows around the business to educate them on health issues.
the caltrops have been used by smugglers on at least 20 different occasions in recent months, particularly in Otay Mesa, in an area just north of Tijuana International Airport, made from welding two bent nails together
It was originally a contender for ferrying astronauts to and from the ISS, but after losing out to SpaceX and Boeing, current parent company Sierra Space converted it to an uncrewed cargo version called the Dream Chaser Cargo System (DCCS).
This version does away with the passenger area and includes an expendable cargo module mounted with solar panels and the capability of taking 11,000 lb (5,000 kg) of pressurized cargo and 1,100 lb (500 kg) of unpressurized cargo to orbit, and returning 3,860 lb (1,750 kg) of cargo to Earth with maximum re-entry forces of 1.5 g.
The recent Joint Test 10B demonstration tests in Louisville, Colorado were aimed at showing the Dream Chaser can handle payloads under specified conditions, including the ability to supply them with power, air-cool them, and handle data between the payloads and Earth.
Along with communications links between the payloads and Sierra Space’s mission control room and NASA’s Marshall Spaceflight Center (MSFC) in Huntsville, Alabama, the tests included three payloads: the Polar cryogenic preservation system for transporting scientific samples, the Powered Ascent Utility Locker (PAUL) for charging CubeSats during ascent, and NASA’s Single Stowage Locker, which is a standard stowage system for experiments and other payloads.
The Turcat was exported to J. Braam Ruben of Fine Automobiles in Utrecht, Netherlands, who sold the Turcat to Morse.
The Turcat arrived at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport in a 20-foot container in July 2005 from Schiphol Airport in the Netherlands. The customs paperwork lists the vehicle's country of origin as the Netherlands and a total value of $420,000.
A few weeks later, Morse was showing the car at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, and it won it's class.
The French government declared it must be returned, as it was a national treasure. The American purchaser said that wouldn't happen unless the $927,518 he'd paid was returned.
The court decided that Morse remained the owner, but the car must be returned to, and remain in France
