Nintendo is Japanese.

Japanese names are surname, then given name.

Mario's surname is Itsumi. 

Itsumi Mario.

If dual exhaust has a cross over pipe is it truly dual exhaust?

When I think of Volkswagen, I think of aircooleds, and quirky front-heavy FWDs with shifters down by your ankles and dashboards up at eye level and acres of negative camber and positive toe in the rear suspension because they cornered on three wheels at the slightest provocation.

 

When I think of VW, I think of bland Camry-wannabe transportation pods that smell kinda weird inside.

 

The crossover point is somewhere in the mid 90s.

Is an independent suspension employing a sway bar independent ?

Is an independent suspension attached to the same chassis truly independent?

 

Ironically, the heavily interconnected suspension in a 2CV might be the most "independent" suspension ever devised, since it actively counteracted the effects that bump and droop had on the rest of the chassis.

Ummm, how?  Because every time I've ever ridden in or seen a 2CV moving under its own power, it looks and feels like it's ready to roll over at any steering input above a walking pace.

Reminds me of Dad and his view on Porsche.  "Air-cooled is pronounced Porsche and watercooled is pronounced Porsche and true Porsche enthusiasts know the difference."

 

It doesn't translate to text well, but the third Porsche in the quote sounds like the second one.

Since purple doesn't actually exist and it's existence means our brains are basically hallucinating, does that mean that the color purple is basically a psychedelic?

Fleets seem to want EV trucks for the same reasons that airliners jumped to jets vs. piston engined planes.  Reduced downtime and maintenance costs.
