A good time for Honda to update their N600 from 1970.
You want this Honda e Limited Edition in glorious red
Only 50 examples of the Honda e Limited Edition are coming to Europe, but that rarity comes at a price…www.topgear.com

I've seen a few of them in white but the prob with these small Japanese car is they lack leg and headspace for those not vertically-challenged. Not the best specs, certainly a nice design.
I don't keep up.
Beats public transport for many who live in large cities and never need to leave them, everything except relatives is there and to see the folks take the train in Europe. It looks so efficient that a solar roof on it might be able to charge it enough when it's parked at work to get ya home at the end of the day, at least in summer. No need to rewire your house with that thing, it could charge overnight with an internal charger on 120 volts in NA and with 220 in Europe it could charge up pretty fast at home. Practical transport for many and a second car for perhaps even more two car families.They made 50 of this special edition, sold out in 18 minutes so they decided to create 1000 more. They sold over 30K of the standard version already.

Yeah it’s marketed as a city car but is not a real car, and it's not suitable for or even allowed on highways. However, many people in large European cities, especially those living in/near the compact older centers, don’t leave the city very often. A large car is then just a pita to park and drive through busy often narrow streets. Usually 30-50 km/h speed limits in the urban areas so for some it'll do just fine.
It does have large tires which suggest highway speeds... So maybe it could handle a short run on the local freeway into the city for commuting.They made 50 of this special edition, sold out in 18 minutes so they decided to create 1000 more. They sold over 30K of the standard version already.

One thing I always enjoyed when visiting a European city was that public transport was cheap, clean and effective. I’d buy a one-month combined-transit pass for about the price of a nice meal out, and go just about everywhere and never worry about parking.Beats public transport for many who live in large cities and never need to leave them, everything except relatives is there and to see the folks take the train in Europe.

I guess those large diameter tires had me fooled, they look bigger than those on a mini and they used to travel quite fast.Not with a top end of 45km/h
Damn, that makes sense. He is pining for VP. I didn’t think about that. I can’t believe Trump ever picked Pence for VP. That guy is so ridiculously pathetic.Sucking up to be VP.
Ramaswamy calls Trump surrender fanfare ‘shameful’
Presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy lashed out against the media coverage surrounding former President Trump’s surrender to authorities in Atlanta on Thursday, calling it “shameful,”
“I think this is shameful, Laura,” he said in a Fox News interview with Laura Ingraham on Thursday. “This is an indictment not of Donald Trump, but of our national civic health.”
“That we have gotten to a place where we have a party in power that will use any charge in any jurisdiction — four at the same time — in the middle of an election, designed, mark my words, to stop their lead political rival currently from running,” he continued.
Trump’s surrender, a procedural step in his prosecution in a sprawling election fraud case, received wall-to-wall coverage from cable news networks.
The former president turned himself in at Fulton County Jail in Atlanta and had his mugshot taken. While the Georgia case is his fourth criminal indictment, it is his first mugshot.

He can stump for Trump while he is in Prison, before both of them are disqualified from the ballot because Trump is disqualified. He might as well run as grand wizard in the KKK as run for nominee of the GOP. Tall, too dark and fascist doesn't work for them, neither does his name, which is a tongue twister for magats who can barely speak English. He sounds like a Muslim to many of them who don't know shit from beans. MTG is Trump's logical pick, but she is a girl, maybe!Damn, that makes sense. He is pining for VP. I didn’t think about that.

I grok that and if I were a city dweller that didn't need highways I'd use something like that but when the nearest store is 18km away it wouldn't work for us. When it's -30C, snowing like a bitch and you're out of tobacco you're going to town come hell or high water/snow.They made 50 of this special edition, sold out in 18 minutes so they decided to create 1000 more.

Larger in area maybe but no where's near as hot and destructive. Not to mention the amount of carbon and particulates released by all that dry fuel and trees. There's something like 50x more biomass per square yard of mature forest than in a grassland.Forest are replaced by grasslands the largest wildfires on record have been grass fires.
That's all true. There is no bright side to the mass loss of forestry. Not even a reduction of future fire risk.Larger in area maybe but no where's near as hot and destructive.

The exposed permafrost melts early and freezes later causing more carbon and methane release which adds to the load and helps accelerate global warming. All that soot lands on glaciers and ice sheets darkening them causing them to melt faster too.
The grass will grow back even better the next season whereas forests in the north will take a century or longer to regrow to the same stage of maturity.
Neither is good tho.
Reading up on the fires lately,
A nearly 100-year-old wooden house survived the Lahaina fire. Its owners are stumped as to why, but experts say this photo reveals crucial lessons for homeowners.
The Maui wildfire burned everything around the Front Street house, but a photo shows it was totally spared. The area surrounding the home reveals why.ca.yahoo.com
Reminds me of cultural burning in Australia. The major fires there in 2019/2020 (re-)ignited a discussion about this simple common sense practice the white colonists and immigrants neglected to apply to the land they dispossessed from the native population.That's all true. There is no bright side to the mass loss of forestry. Not even a reduction of future fire risk.
Grass will dry out faster then a tree, making ignition more likely. lower biomass density will cause a fire to spread over a larger landmass faster making it more likely to encroach on populated areas and give that population less response time
Plus it’s a great way to see the city and its people regardless. A visit to the station is already worth the ticket. Unfortunately from city to city or even another country is anything but cheap and effective nowadays but that’s going to improve a lot over the next few years.One thing I always enjoyed when visiting a European city was that public transport was cheap, clean and effective.

I particularly liked the Straßenbahn in Vienna. Dense network, frequent cars, panoramic windows and the unique whooshing squeal of the steel wheels on the rails.
