It runs fast and smooth. Have a look at the secret door between the -1 and 1st floor. It is marked by a 0 on the indicator. This garage is one of the three parking ...

Parking Problem Solved
A great invention from 1927 shows a novel vehicle in Paris where the front wheel enables automobiles to turn in own length and sidle in and out of any parking ...
+PSci IR Why, Conservatives are none of those things, in fact those fundamental mindsets are Democratic in scope and big government.You're the evil bastard who is anti human.
+Conservative USSA tell me more about what a hatemongering, xenophobic, anti-science, anti-women, anti-poor, history re-writing, hypocritical piece of shit you are getting your brains fried by faux news. back to stormfront you go.
+costew67 Hahaha yeah maybe forty or fifty years ago. No, with the exception of a very few industries, we're in a time of finding ways to maximize profits and screw the consumer the hardest, not to present a better product than the competition. Why do you think everything is made of plastic instead of aluminum alloy or chrome-plated steel nowadays? Because of plastic's longevity and durability, right? Or perhaps to cut costs "for the consumer", I suppose? Hah.Most of the "innovation" nowadays is simply manufacturers faffing about trying to find a better way to make their products strategically break once the warranty period is over, or develop a system whereby they don't have to honor their warranty. Making things more complex and flimsy increases the odds that something will break, which means their loyal customers will need a replacement unit within a couple years, or at the very least will pay a hefty fee for parts and labor.
+Jagdtoq dumb comment. We live in a time of constant and unprecedented innovation. Besides, do you think this example from 1927 wasn't developed because they thought it would help sell more cars than the competition?
+TJP77 "sustainable" is a word that has always existed though! Maybe not by bottom feeders like yourself but the big players know. What you just said is across the board relevant to numerous situations like the suez crisis where car output was increased and no license neccesary to drive because they were practicalliy giving oil away! Go bother someone on your level
+thestr8person You're insane. When the Model T happened, all of our oil came from the US. It was dirt cheap... much cheaper and more plentiful than hemp oil in fact. Oil prices had just crashed when the Model T was released, and petrol was less than half the price of any other fuel... a big concern when you're trying to market an affordable car for the average family.The word 'renewable' was not in anyone's vocabulary back then, and nobody held back hemp fuel because they wanted to go to war for oil in 100 years. You sound like an idiot just saying that.
+Steamforger No idea what reddit is on about, i'm a physicist and have been since long before the internet. I don't use the internet as source for anything my friend.
The thing is that technology never takes a step back. When technology creates a problem, she just goes on and tries to fix it with something new, she doesn't wonder about the cause of the problem in the first place.
+thestr8person Please stop this Reddit-based historical revisionism that portrays Tesla as the internet's adopted superhero.He was a genius, yes, but underplaying his faults and overplaying Edison's ruthless profiteering just panders to images and comparisons of lone geniuses against multi-million dollar corporations. Maybe it's something which most basement-dwelling bloggers find comfort in, but there's simply no point in continuing this idea that Tesla was going to provide free electricity for everyone. He was trying to develop a generator which could be portable enough to be used at home, but eventually fell into heavy debt from his creditors at JP Morgan after countless loans.There's no way that American capitalists at the time would have invested in a scheme which didn't give them a return. Sure, maybe the electricity wouldn't be tariffed in the system it is today, but the cost of buying the generator and maintaining the device would have still been expensive for the time. Even if the schematics had been released with no patents attached, this would have only resulted in other companies profiteering and selling the assembled generators themselves.
You hit the nail on the head there my friend! Nicola Tesla was getting ready to give free electricity to the world when he got stopped in his tracks, Henry Ford's model T ran on cheap and renewable hemp oil until they realised there was no potential for war in that.
