Chrysler Turbine Car, America in the 1960's, now next generation GR Prius Turbo :)

Technological progress, a strong gold backed US dollar, Atlas V rocket putting man on Earth's Moon, while in the automotive realm jet engine technology developed preceding & during WWII became an amazing automotive engine in the Chrysler Turbine Car, though the basis of this vehicle can trace it technological history all the way back to the 1930s. 

Crafting 55 examples of this prototype turbine car, Chrysler made these bronze-colored (golden color) cars styled by Italian car design firm Ghia, & loaned a few to random members of the general public so they could test them in real world driving. Only 9 examples exist today, 7 in museums, 2 belong to wealthy private car collectors. It was ultimately leaded fuel that killed it. Tetra-ethyl Lead was added to fuel until 1975 in America, when MTBE became the dominate fuel oxygenator & ISOM units at oil refineries allowed the production of isomers of gasoline that raised the octane rating or knock resistance of unleaded fuels. Lead in fuel also poisons catalytic converters, so the phase away from leaded gasoline was needed for emissions-controlled fuel injected cars like we have today. 

Back in the 1960's the automotive world was dominated by engines featuring fuel wasting rich fuel air ratio fueling devices called carburetors, still utilized on small air cooled engines of weed whackers, chainsaws, generators, lawn mowers, garden power equipment with a small engine, where electronic fuel injection, ECU, O2 sensor & so forth would be too costly, too complicated & too large to integrate, as would water cooling, or catalytic converter to clean up the exhaust. That means that typical gasoline fueled lawn mower without automotive emissions controls emits 25X more toxic smog forming pollutants than a new gasoline fueled car, truck or SUV. 

Turbochargers very popular with automakers of today's emissions-controlled gasoline & diesel fueled vehicles, hybrids & even some PHEV have turbocharged engines. In a turbocharger hot pressurized exhaust gas forces its way past a super alloy axial impeller causing it to spin at up to 130,000 RPM on an oil film lubricated shaft bearing rod connected to a similar intake cold air compressor that takes in outdoor air & compresses it for forced induction or boost pressure, often chilled down with an intercooler heat exchanger like an air to air or air to water radiator, when the turbo compresses intake air that air heats up so the intercooler chills pressurized intake air down so more air can be mixed with fuel often direct injected into the engines cylinders to make more power & more torque at lower RPM. 

Turbos work especially well in stronger heavier diesel engines with compression ignition & glow plugs. When boost happens in a large heavy duty commercial diesel engine it shove the really well sealed pistons down very strong cylinders that already have to survive 25:1 compression by design. Diesel engine blocks, head, crank, all the energy harvesting parts of a diesel engine are much thicker, much stronger, much longer lasting & far more resistant to the increased pressure & temperature of boosting with a supercharger, turbocharger, or combination of both. 

I have been advocating the use of a motor generator on the cold air compressor of a turbocharger in automotive HEV applications, since an E-motor Turbocharger can generate or take in 7kw of electricity for E-boost no spool lag acceleration enhancement, or to act as energy regenerator if the digital wastegate directs excess boost pressure back to the compressor of the digital VGT turbo, then it can become an energy generator to charge the HEV battery pack, thereby reducing fuel consumption & improving energy economy or fuel economy, so more miles or kilometers of range per fill up with lower tailpipe emissions :) 

In Toyota HSD for example an electric motor generator upgraded turbocharger can improve specific power of the engine, like the Turbo of the GR Corolla, but in a hypothetical 6 gen. GR Prius with 268 HP engine & 248 HP traction motor MG1 & 123HP motor generator MG2. In this proposed drivetrain design of a next gen Prius by Toyota, a Gazoo Racing version, the E-Boost Turbo can radically improve engine performance, but tuned specifically to enable even more fuel economy, the entire HSD turbo system can achieve 85-100 MPG on regular unleaded fuel in ECO mode, or get 25 MPG in Track Mode AWD with the VGT maximizing boost & MG1 operating at full power, the 15KW solid state battery in Unlocked Mode, for Saturday racetrack fun, while fully adjustable suspension optional airbags, can provide lowering or lifting for enhanced highway or offroad use cases, think Dakar racing GR Prius that also drives nice as a daily driver on streets commuting with super ultra low emission & class leading fuel economy for the lowest Total Cost of Ownership for a GR Prius of its performance level :) 

Freedom, Agency, Free Will, Choose Carefully, Foolishness Costly, Wisdom Saves Lives & Money, Driving Smarter, Sane & Safer

Have you ever noticed that people tend to think they are invincible until they turn 40 years old? Then they start investing, buying life insurance, making lifestyle changes, but why do people in their 20's no do the same, can you say YOLO.

When I was in my 20's many of my friends or peers died in motorcycle accidents, in nylon aero suits base dumping off the edges of steep rock cliffs, riding dirt bikes in the forest roads until they crashed into a tree unto death, others died of drug or alcohol overdose, still more died in car accidents caused by other drivers driving recklessly or not paying attention or driving under the influence of intoxicating substance or substances, perhaps sleep deprived or having a stroke while driving or similar. 

I am 41 & have been riding motorcycles on paved public roads since I was 18, having logged over 100,000 miles of riding many different motorcycles, scooters, & even e-bikes, bicycles, kick scooters, Segway, & much more. 

I consider driving a car very easy, but I started at age 15.5 with a learner's permit, took drivers education including practice driving while still in the second year of my 4-year high school education. We did classroom education after school, then computer lab testing online, then had hour long driving practice sessions with some brave parent teaching the class. 

When I encounter a low skill or new driver locally, it can be very easy to wonder what in the Earth are they doing as they weave & bob over the white fog line, yellow lane line, hitting bumps, stopping at yield signs when there is no reason to stop, getting on the freeway without accelerating to a fast enough speed to safely merge into fast moving traffic & all sorts of other dangerous things like taking a left Infront of other motorists from the right turn lane, forcing other drivers to make emergency high speed braking to avoid crashing into the bad driver doing the dangerous thing. 

On many occasions while riding my motorcycle in traffic an inattentive driver doing something stupid cause me to have to grab the right front brake leaver so hard that I was forced into an ENDO, up on the front wheel with the rear wheel off the ground balancing to a stop so hard that my body slid forward in the seat forcing my testicles to slam into the gas tank, ouch. 

Telling someone else how to live not something I agree with. Firstly, no one knows the best way to live for someone else because they could not possibly know enough about the other person to give good advice. If the person telling someone else the best way of living actually knew the best way to live, they would only know the best way to live for themselves. 

Everyone is unique in many ways & what is true for you often not true for other people. As long as you are not using your cleverness at the expense of others, that means being honorable, of good integrity, it means being an honest decent person even when other people are not watching, always doing what is appropriate or the right thing. That means treating other people with dignity & respect, even when riding or driving a vehicle on roadways :) 

This is about having personal accountability! Doing your best to do your duty to God & your country, that also means your neighborhood, your community, people you live with, people next door, people you go to school with or work with. It is about being a good person, sincerely, knowing that doing the right thing, saying what is right or not speaking at all, having self-control or good conduct, & taking responsibility for your actions, words, choices or behaviors.  

Not how many people die in vehicle accidents, how many more are harmed with lifelong debilitating injuries to their head as TBI or neck or back, joints, bones, robbing them of the ability to work or enjoy a happy life free of preventable pain & suffering. How many people are harmed so badly by vehicle accidents that death would have been more humane? 

What do we make then of drunk drivers who hurt or kill other motorists, people riding bicycles or pedestrians, because the made a choice to drive while badly intoxicated? What does big alcohol have to say about ethanol poisoning? What does big alcohol have to say about all the other medical diseases caused by abusing alcoholic beverages? How can we have a science of brain injuries and boxing where people punch each other in the head as hard as possible?  

Illegal in most locations worldwide to murder other people, then what is War? In war people murder other people in many different ways, often with weapons of mass destruction! Have you heard what China or the CCP planning to do to win WWIII? They are going to release all four kinds of bioweapons on the world, not that COVID19 Sars-CoV-2 from Hubei Provence China, Wuhan Instituted of Virology was not bad enough, now having punished the world with $9 trillion dollars in losses. 

TPPO waste into prime material for improved Flow Batteries for Grid Power Storage

Flow Batteries combine two tanks, two pumps, a power membrane, & are cheaper but heavier than lithium-ion batteries, but with TPPO a waste product from vitamin production, now not metallic flow batteries are on the horizon as the market for Flow Batteries expected to increase 15% to $737 million by 2030. Fluid tanks with electrolytic liquids, instead of metals like normal batteries, are heavier like jugs of fluid are heavier or more massive. 

But all the problems with resource supply chain limitations of lithium & cobalt & nickel & copper & aluminum can be completely avoided with novel conductive polymer liquid flow batteries or novel solid polymer solid state sodium ion batteries & even cobalt-free batteries made without any cobalt are poised to be the next generation lithium-ion batteries. 

These innovations are as much focused on storing solar & wind power as they are for whole home batteries for homes with rooftop solar PV panel systems. Flow batteries are not idle for vehicle use as the liquid sloshes around as the vehicle moves, but sodium ion, aluminum ion & magnesium ion batteries & metal air batteries that use oxygen as the cathode are other examples of emerging battery technologies with huge future market, able to sell trillions of dollars' worth worldwide when they are made of abundant materials like sodium. 

350 mi or 563 km range when EV Battery New (Best Case, No Wind, No Hills, No Rain, No Snow, Warm Weather)

Almost everyone knows that lithium-ion batteries fade and progressively lose their ability to hold a charge as they age and or cycle through many hundreds of cycles or several years in a smartphone for example, having experienced a smartphone battery failing after 3 to 5 years.

If an EV buyer spends $140,000 on a LUCID this or Tesla that, or RIVIAN this, they don't want to have to replace a $25,000 battery pack in 5 years. Automotive lithium-ion batteries are more robust than the versions used in laptops, tablets, smartphones, they have thicker stronger components & less energy density than the tiny one cell lithium polymer battery in your smart ring, smart watch or smartphone. The same can be said for chipset or SOC of smartphones, they have the chipsets with the smallest feature integrated circuits made to be the most power efficient, like the A17 in iPhone made by TSMC using ASML's latest deepest extreme ultraviolet lithography equipment.

If the EV manufactures claim 350 mi of range, that means 150kWh battery pack, but if you are talking about parking outside, driving up a mountain pass in winter worst case scenario, during blizzards, in sleet or ice storms, towing a boat or RV, then you only going to see 40% of that new battery range, that is with a newer battery, even during the first 10 years the battery capacity will shrink some from aging & cycling, even the stronger automotive lithium ion batteries decay, just 3X slower than the one in your phone. 

PHEV like Rav4 Prime by Toyota

A much smaller 10kWh pack combined with an efficient gasoline engine tuned for low fuel consumption, though PSD power split device orbital gears that combine 2 electric motor generators with the engine then shaft output drives the wheels. HSD Toyotas hybrid system in Prius or Prime versions of PHEV does exactly this & that enables the ECU to tune for better fuel economy. Our 22 Corolla Hybrid for example is able to get up to 74 miles per gallon or 3.2 liters petrol per 100 kilometers using its Prius 3rd 4th gen derived HSD drivetrain with an automotive lithium ion battery & later 2ZR-FXE revision composite intake that insulate the engine block to keep it warmer longer for better thermal efficiency, vs the older aluminum intake that sucked heat away like a giant heat-sink before. 

If we think about Lithium, Cobalt, Copper, Aluminum & Nickel used in EV batteries, it makes much more sense for mass producing low emission vehicles to go HEV & PHEV route to take advantage of synthetic gasoline made from natural gas & even gasified coal, car tires, biomass, dump gas, sour gas, waste gas, biogas, compost gas, swamp gas, or even gas collected from leaking old oil extraction pipes all over America, a leading source of leaking natural gas in the world. Tubes connected to those pipes could suck the leaking natural gas into a solar powered cryocooler LNG tank system of thousands of gallons, insulated vacuum double walled that can sit in the sun & still keep the LNG liquid cold, that would send a text message to a tanker truck when it was almost full to come collect the LNG to sell it to pay for the system. Using every method contrivable synthetic gasoline, diesel, jet fuel & engine lubricants can be made for over 1000 more years with renewable feedstock like used veggie oil. 

Hydrogen Automotive Fantasy, Except NH3 Ammonia Synthetic Gasoline & Diesel made of Natural Gas, Coal, Biomass, Biogas, Sour Gas, Dump Gas/ small hydrocarbon gas into Shell GTL Gas to Liquids FT reactions will sell for hundreds of years

Expensive $18 per us gallon or $6 per liter, liquid Hydrogen or high pressure H2 gas the most expensive of the feasible fuel alternatives to petrochemical gasoline or diesel. Long utilized in pressurized tanks like propane, anhydrous ammonia can be a fuel for ICE or internal combustion engine vehicles. 

DME in pressurized bottles can fuel Turbo Diesel truck engines retrofitted, NH3 ammonia gas can fuel gasoline engines retrofitted, although like methanol the flow rate has to be increased because ammonia even as a liquid has less chemical energy than gasoline. DME & Ammonia at the billion-gallon scale cheap like $1/ gallon jet fuel. This makes DME for diesel engines & Ammonia for gasoline engines attractive as cheaper alternative fuels.

Synthetic gasoline & diesel are also poised to take over the sales leadership as fuel sold at millions of gas stations for hundreds of more years into the future. Made from gasification of coal gasses, natural gas, biogas, dump gas, sour gas, landfill gas, trash gas recovery, gasification of plastics or old tires, even used motor oil can be gasified into light gases that Shell GTL FT small gas to long liquid molecules polymerization technology can turn into synthetic gasoline, diesel, engine lubricating oils or anything petrochemicals, for high value added polymers for example, which can also be made by polymerizing propane, butane, small light hydrocarbon molecules into longer chain molecules, like n-octane for gasoline. 

Even crop waste, spent corn cobs, peat, moss, wood, forest debris, many kinds of dead dry plant material can be heated in sealed steel containers to make gases that can be put through Shell GTL FT processing to make synthetic transportation fuels for hundreds of years. 

That means piston engines & aircraft turbine, turbojet, turboprop, generators, all the ICE engines we fuel today with petrochemical gasoline & diesel will eventually be fueled by synthetic fuels, or such engines will be modified along with their fuel system to run on propane, butane, DME, ammonia, or any other such pressurized biofuel gases, which can be made from all sorts of abundant natural feedstock or recovered synthetic materials like old plastic or old car tires. 

Synthetic gasoline already sold for $9 per us gallon so it cannot sell well or compete with regular gasoline made the old guard industrial oil refinery way at prices of $4.40 per us gallon locally, or as low as $2.30 per US gallon in other parts of America today in early 2025. 

Converting a car to run on Ammonia, Hydrogen, Propane or Butane costs thousands of dollars, & not a mainstream car mod outside a few selected markets, like some cities in Germany where gasoline so much more expensive than propane, that converting a car to run on propane means fueling costs are 60% lower, so the propane conversion cost has a short ROI or return on investment & after that running on propane so much cheaper as a fuel. 

In South Korea many commercial diesel trucks have already been converted to run on DME & fuel with DME a solvent mass produced for chemical processing elsewhere. As a fuel DME cheaper & much cleaner burning than diesel, just as propane much cleaner burning than gasoline. 

Deep Water Horizon 5 million Barrels of Oil Spilled

 Environmentalist, economists, politicians, activists, regular people, many claim that Peak Oil already happened, that using oil for fuels used causing climate to change the leading cause of pollution emissions, that burning fossil fuels or carbon causes acid rain, ground level smog, ozone near people, particles, soot, smoke, HC fumes, particulate matter, NOx or oxides of nitrogen, organic pollutants as trace components of exhaust gas emitted by gasoline & diesel burning vehicles with engines that use fossil fuels, effectively cyclical molecules or persistent organic pollutants called POPS that are extremely poisonous or toxic, brake dust, tire microplastic from tread erosion, traffic jam time waste stress, vehicle accidents, bird strikes, other animals killed by vehicle hits in roadways, noise & sound pollution, & a litany of other problems that battery electric vehicle are not a silver bullet to solve. 

Sure BEV's like Tesla model this or that, Nissan LEAF, or PHEV like Toyota Rav4 Prime (personal favorite) or Prius Prime (smartest choice), the larger batteries, or fuel efficient engines with higher thermal efficiency, there are many improved ways to go places with lower emissions, even in homes where mini-split heat pumps with a COP of 7.1 best ones using best fans fins, best fan motors, best heat exchangers, best compressors, best controllers, the cheapest mini-split have a COP 3 and cost $500, but the $1700 units have COP of 5.3 or 6.4 or best ones around $2K are COP 7.1, meaning they can move 7 units of heat for warming or cooling using one unit of electricity. 

What about people walking more, using e-bikes to get around, or riding the bus nearby? Did you know in many cities there are many ways of getting around other than owning a car & driving it. Only 1 in 4 adults worldwide owns a car, 3 out of those 4 want a car, 1 of them has no interest in owning a car as they have no use case for one & have figured out how to live without a car, perhaps you can too, unless you live in America like me where cars are the only time efficient practical way of getting around. Thus, my daily drive was a purchased 1 year old used Toyota Corolla Hybrid. Meg got a used 10 Prius III as her daily driver. Her 3rd Gen Prius gives 48 MPG, the Corolla Hybrid easily give 58 MPG, though I regularly hypermile up to 68 or 71 MPG, & best case 74 MPG in warm weather no wind no traffic :) I consider quality reliability & fuel economy in my vehicle choices, so Toyota Hybrids are the obvious choice. Prius & Corolla Hybrid same drivetrain as Prius was, have the lowest Total Cost of Ownership of any car choices & are very reliable, many setting odometer records. 

Engine Thermal Efficiency vs Exhaust Gas Energy Recovery in PHEV or HEV to DC Charge Traction Battery

Toyota Atkinson cycle engine versions in Hybrid Synergy Drive HSD systems of superlative reliable vehicles like Prius for 5 generations since 1997 in Japan. 1NZ-FXE 1.5L in 04-09 Prius II for example in some models achieving odometer records of 850,000 miles in second Gen. Prius Taxi cars, then Guru automotive in Seattle rebuilds them for a reasonable price & they keep going, new hybrid battery, rebuilt motor, there are some refurbished second gen Prius with other a million miles odometer!

Reducing pumping losses by leaving the intake valve open longer, effectively more fuel energy in the power stroke can be extracted, accomplished with variable valve control, variable timing & ignition, ECU modes optimized for fuel efficiency such that Toyota 1NZ-FXE or 2ZR-FXE 38% 40% or 42% efficiency in terms of converting the fuels energy into torque to move the vehicle, & those numbers are considered exceptionally efficient in the automotive world where other automaker engines are only 20-30% efficient.

One way or the other that means a lot of the fuels energy leaving the engine as waste heat through the radiator, & moreover in hot exhaust gas, gas so hot if it is piped into a turbocharger the hot side of the turbo glows red hot iron, while even naturally aspirated cars have a red hot catalytic converter where the hot exhaust gas hits a alumina ceramic honeycomb slurry coated in platinum, palladium & rhodium dust, such that as that noble metal catalytic core glows red hot the toxic exhaust gases & goo & fumes hitting it are catalytically decomposed into safe gases like oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, reducing exhaust pollution emissions by 95% using upstream & downstream O2 exhaust gas temperature sensors, fuel injection, ECU map control, & other EGR, CVR, fuel tank vapor capture, air injection, & many other clever emissions control technologies. 

What if there were a cheap easy way to extract useful electricity from that hot exhaust gas? One way with a turboalternator or turbogenerator integrated into the exhaust header of the engine. When hot pressurized exhaust gas goes through this turbine, it spins the turbine at over 100,000 RPM, which turns the shaft input to the magneto, alternator, or power generator making electrical power at thousands of watts send to recharge the traction battery in PHEV & HEV vehicles.  

Scientists' zealots not considering feasibility keep investigate TEG or thermoelectric generators, but these are costly per watt, & can only make 40 watts of energy in a practical automotive version, barely enough to run the headlights of a modern bright LED vehicle forward illumination system. 

To make 1000 watts the entire engine exhaust header would have to be covered in hundreds of sparkplug shaped TEG's wired together, each with fan cooled cooling fin heatsinks on the cold side. RTG using hot plutonium rods as the heat source, with a tube consisting of hundreds of TEG surrounding the hot plutonium core, aluminum fins on the outside of the TEG cylinder array are the cold side, but these cost millions of dollars.

An automotive header with hundreds of long lasting TEG's even if mass produced would cost many tens of thousands of dollars, vastly more than feasible energy recovery with a generator motor attached to an exhaust gas turbine which can easily generate 2000-7000 watts of electricity at 14.2 volts, or it can be tuned for 400 volts or 800 volts to direct DC charge larger hybrid traction batteries or PHEV battery packs. 

Turbocharged Automobiles

GR Corolla the only turbocharged car I would buy, but 21 MPG City & 28 MPG highway, terrible fuel economy compared to your Corolla Hybrid which gives 50 MPG easily and 70 MPG driven gently, think less than 3 liters of fuel per 100 km. GR Corolla requires premium fuel, our Corolla hybrid runs on regular 87 cheaper unleaded gasoline E10 or ethanol-free from The Grange, Issaquah, Washington State, USA

Toyota the only company I trust to make a reliable turbocharged car & the mostly handmade GR Corolla a real low profit margin gem for around $50 grand or fifty thousand dollars, less if you don't get the fully loaded version. 

Spinning bits, turbo, switched reluctance 130K RPM digital handheld vacuum or hair dryer, higher RPM means smaller windings & magnets can make more electrical power output with less mass in smaller cheaper packaging easier to integrate into vehicles as small as a kick scooter

Austin 250hp gas turbine a free turbine turboshaft engine developed by Dr John Weaving at Austin Motor Company. From experimental Austin Princess car TUR1. [1] Various uses suggested, mobile power unit & hospital backup generator & more powerful derivates developed, no use cases

Automakers turbochargers common now new car engines, but no turboshaft engines as prime mover

For decades passenger aircraft APU are turboshaft power generators perfect for HEV applications, high performance automotive hybrid electric vehicles. It makes me wonder, why no vehicles for sale with a compact industrial turboshaft generator?

Automotive needs 100kw to 1mw power, commuter vs supercar power range

Compact turboshaft generators for power plants of this size cost more than new cars, new trucks or new SUV & thus fail feasibility studies done by automakers as none of these turbogenerators are mass produced

Car Buyers Think Purchase Price, Features, & Design & Fail to Consider TCO Ownerships Costs or Reliability

Not all vehicles are worth buying, unreliable means they are annoying to own, always breaking down, in the shop being repaired, expensive to keep running when they are working, depreciated quickly, lower quality, smoke & mirrors, why overpay for a fancy brand that with no real benefits, not actually premium, since premium implies better & if it were better it would be more reliable. 

Tesla is one of the most expensive cars to repair and maintain. Seems like a great value, a new model Y for under $40K, but if you buy one after a few years that screen that controls everything, if it breaks those costs nearly $4000 to repair. Tires for many models of Tesla, a set of 4 tires, can cost over $2400. When the battery pack or motor magnets weaken to an unacceptable level of low performance down the road, the cost of replacing the battery or motor will vastly exceed the depreciated value of your Tesla then. Special additional EV taxes, aluminum hard to repair makes repairs more expensive so car insurance for Telsa also costs more, oh BEV registrations in WA can be over $900 annually with two special taxes added since driving a BEV means no gasoline sales taxes paid, so WA State imposes EV charges on license registrations. 

All the same can be said for any newer BEV, expensive to own & operate, completely negating any gas price savings from driving the EV. In other words, once you pay for all the electricity, it will drive your home utility prices way up too, all that EV battery charging 100kWh pack $14 each time added to your electric bill. Watch "Why I sold my Tesla" videos on YouTube. Only Tesla can work on your car, anti-right to repair scam, as no third-party mechanic or you can get parts or procedures for working on your Tesla, that you paid for and own, though I officially recommend against buying one. Get a Lexus Hybrid if you want something premium & ultra fuel efficient, like RX450h. 

Ford & Nissan dual-clutch transaxle & CVT (Continuous Variable Transaxles) unreliable, break down & then cost almost $10,000 to replace. Mercedes, BMW, any of these so-called luxury vehicles cost a fortune to maintain & repair & depreciate rapidly because of it. The only actual luxury cars worth your money are made by Toyota under the Lexus brand. Jeep a pile of junk, Stellantis owns all these brands that make garbage vehicles, nothing like Toyota. Even Honda is going downhill in terms of quality, merging with Nissan a terrible idea. 

Lexus LFA with Yamaha tunes V8, that is what I am talking about! That is big daddy Toyota mopping the floor of the automotive industry showing other automakers "How it's done correctly" Clean white bright floors at Toyota factories, bright lighting, exceedingly high-quality standards, the entire line will stop to fix any issue that arises so that every vehicle made by Toyota as good as they can make it, though even Toyota biffs & makes mistakes, such as Tacoma models with frame rails that rust out easily becoming Taco Tacoma when the frame rails rust through & the truck folds up like a taco. 

If you buy a Toyota Hybrid, make sure to drive it regularly, at least 3 times per weak for at least 30 minutes going faster than 15 MPH, as sitting around in storage for weeks or months or years, they drain the hybrid battery & 12v accessory battery, especially if your smart key within 30 feet, as this not only increases the risk of a relay attack to steal your vehicle, it also turns more of the vehicle on, since the key nearby tells the computer the vehicle about to be driven, that ECU smart key LTE modem build in uploading vehicle data to the manufactured, it also never turns off. Most vehicles produced after 2014 with a Start Button & no physical key, when you "Turn them Off, that is a soft off, not a hard off" When you turned the key in the ignition module in the steering column of your older vehicles off, that was a hard off, as in no power then being drawn from the vehicles battery until you lock the doors, then only a small pulse drawn to activate the locks, beep the horn & blink the lights, then it's cold off.  

Smart Key System on Your Car, Store Key in Metal Box w/ Metal Lid

Metal box with metal lid, store your keys in this. That makes a faraday cage around the key, so your keys do not talk to your car & criminals cannot do a relay attack reading the key signal to program their hacking device to unlock your car & drive it away without breaking the window or making much noise, usually to cars parked outside between 2am & 4am, when most people are sleeping.

Butter Coconut Mochi (Luke Outdoor Boys YouTube video Inspiration)

Recipe right at the top of this post so you can duplicate the effort & enjoy the outcome :)  

PROCEDURE / Recipe Butter Coconut Mochi

Start by greasing a 9x13 inch metal or glass pan with butter or oil

1 lb bad of glutenous rice flower from Asian grocery store (Uwagimaya locally), 2 cups sugar (or less) 2 teaspoons baking powder, & a 1/2 teaspoon salt into large bowl whisk to combine.

In medium bowl melt a stick of butter or 8 tablespoons, then add one can 16 oz of Coconut milk, 2 cups of milk, 4 large eggs, 2 teaspoons of vanilla & whisk to combine.

Add wet from medium bowl to dry in large bowl & mix until no lumps, as much as you need. I use a hand mixer electric with two beaters, slow at first, then full speed 9 until very homogenous.

Bake 350 F or 177 C for 60 to 70 min, slightly less in glass, more in metal. Less time will be more chewy, more time will be firmer. 

INGREDIENTS

Unsalted butter or vegetable oil, for coating the pan

1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter or 1 pound
Mochiko flour (known as glutinous rice flour) 1lb bag, 16oz

2 cups granulated sugar * 1 cup or so to lower glycemic index

2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon  r salt
2 cups  milk, any fat percentage
4 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract, I use 4 for more flavor

1 (about 13.5-ounce) can unsweetened coconut milk

1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

Mochi are a chewy Japanese snack staple that migrated to Hawaii because of the number of Japanese people who moved too & live in Hawaii. Many Japanese-American people who grew up in Hawaii ate Butter Coconut Mochi as an energetic hiking snack or fitness activity snack, be forewarned they are both delicious & highly calorie dense. If you eat something like this & then sit around without getting hot & sweaty doing physical activity, make sure you eat a smaller piece, otherwise it can drive your blood sugar high promoting weight gain & metabolic disease known as diabetes type 2.

Sharing a recipe for others to try, you might ask why, well consider that scientists are always duplicating other scientists experiments to validate results findings, to confirm new knowledge, well baking has a lot in common with chemistry & chemical experiments, so give it a try & follow the recipe & procedure to a T so that you can personally validate the resulting product :)

Meg & I watch Luke's Outdoor Boys YouTube videos for enjoyment & in one episode we noticed he was eating a Butter Coconut Mochi that his wife Rebecca made for him, that he took with him in a plastic sandwich bag out in the snow covered alpine wilderness of Alaska, where he builds snow caves to camp in & does so showing how to make a fire, how to cook over fire with tools he made & had videos of how to make those tools or you can always buy pre-made stuff to bring with you for such adventures :) 

Aspartame (NutraSweet, Equal, Sugar Twin) Artificial Sweetener Heart Attack & Stroke Risk Increases When Consumed

Aspartame almost 200X sweeter than regular white refined cane sugar crystals that people typically add to coffee, tea, or as an ingredient in many baked goods, deserts like homemade ice-cream, homemade lemonade from fresh squeezed lemons or a lime version, or even to something like ground coco powder with milk powder & powdered cardamon & clove powder & a bit of hot chili powder into a food processor for 10 minutes until it forms a paste, then added to warm water or milk to make a delectable homemade real hot coco drink more like the ones the Aztecs created and enjoyed thousands of years ago.

Artificial sweeteners are similar to sweet tasting solvents, chemicals, pesticides, paint chips, even lead oxide tastes sweet though it's a neuron toxin & toxic to kidneys & bones, or like many other heavy metals that bind to & block cell enzymes from working, destroying cell mitochondria & killing the cell & causing all sorts of other problems as many cells die & ATP production slows since ATP body energy chemical fuel that all organs & cells need to energize human life :) 

It's been well demonstrated that people who regularly consume artificial sweeteners actually also eat more food, are overweight, have difficulty losing weight, feel lethargic & tired so they never workout or exercise, & that combines with eating ultra processed engineered fluids industrial beverages made with strange coloring agents, strange preservatives, questionable chemical additives & unhealthy artificial sweeteners. 

The evidence against the use of these synthetic poisons added to processed foods as causal factors for all the diseases plaguing American's such that RFK Jr. on a mission to outlaw, ban & remove the worst offenders from the American diet, which can be up to 73% UPF or unhealthy processed foods, the UPF actually stands for Ultra Processing, or applying industrial chemical processing normally used to make automotive paint or to convert oil to gasoline, to food bliss point additives & heat, pressure, acids, bases, solvents, fumes, toxins, residue left in the products with probably unhealthy negative impacts on people who eat these junk foods, fast foods, things like Orea Cookies or Doritos chips, things with way too many ingredients made in a way that would be practically impossible to make at home in your kitchen

Many Christians Go to Hell For One Reason, they fail to Forgive someone who hurt or wronged them, hold this in their heart until they die & face God for Final Judgement

 Could this be you, do you pray, go to church, love God & Christ Jesus? Did did you think you would be ok when you face God when you die, that you have time to get things right before you die? What if you suddenly drop dead or die in an automobile accident? Did you know that every minute a Christian somewhere in the world dies & face God & he says to them, Depart From Me I Did Not Know You, and know this, there is no second chance, this is an absolute rejection unto hell, not just physical torment, mental, emotional, psychological, a crushing weight that gets heavier endless, eternity with no end and endless torment of every kind, hell was created for Satan & the fallen Angles who followed Lucifer, also known as demons, yet people who have had near death experiences, who have died & come back, who got a preview of life without God, for that is what hell consists of, its a dimension where everything good is missing, for all that is God comes from the Lord our God, so the real without any of God's presence not just cold & bleak, there is noting good there, worse than the Danakil Depression in Ethiopia, its worse than being thrown into a volcanic cauldron of liquid magma, like doing that repeatedly for eternity, think of your flesh burning, eyes & nose & mouth searing with pain that just keeps getting worse endlessly & never ending, worse than any torture we can concoct on Earth by human thought, its a wicked terrifying frightening place that no one was intended to go to. 

God never wanted any human person to go to hell and hell was not designed for people or peoples souls, it was designed for Satan & Demons. So many people think its ok to have these feelings, that they feel natural or justified, they might brush them off, think it is not a big deal, that they do everything else the way God says in the Bible, so they are ok, when its the one thing that deceives many Christians, a simple thing that many people dismiss as not important or hide away in their heart. But we know that the Brain, Heart & Gut's have neurons that remember. 

When a person dies the memories from our Brain, Heart & Gut are all examined, and if you have any un-forgiveness in your heart, it says in Matthew 3:15 "If you do not forgive others of their trespasses, neither will the Father (God) forgive your. trespasses." Forgiveness a choice, can be powerfully healing to your mind, emotions, psyche, when you forgive it does not justify the wrong doer who hurt you, forgiving them releases you from torment from un-forgiveness that creates deep seated bitterness & anger in your heart as you refuse to forgive, feeling justified because of the way that other person harmed or hurt you. But be warned. 

If God see's that you have any failure to forgive in your heart, then God will not forgive you & you like me & everyone else did not leave a perfect life of obedience, not especially if your fail to forgive someone else, then the Lord, when you die and stand before God for final judgement, will say "You have failed to forgive then name who so you know, for he judges your heart & mind, every choice, word or action in your life" and has an Angel review your Book of Life with you, & will show you if you messed it up with the one sin that God will not forgive, that is failure to forgive someone else in your heart. You have to seriously forgive all people, anyone, everyone, & not hold any failure to forgive in your heart. If you find it difficult to forgive someone who cheated you, stole your identity, took all your money, killed someone you loved, or did something else horrible to you, you have to be willing to forgive them, a choice not a feeling, a choice to obey God, because God says if you do not forgive that person who hurt you then God cannot forgive you & will say "Depart From Me, I Did Not Know You"

You must forgive anyone who has done anything to you. Any failure to forgive results in rejection by God from heaven, as it is clearly described in Matthew 3:15, furthermore it backs up the main message of being Godly in character, showing other people loving kindness & thinking of all other people as better than yourself, that includes even the most vile evil sick person you can think of, you are commanded to think of that person as better than yourself. So the way under salvation not only hard, its also narrow such that many people will not enter that gate, but this moment is a chance for you to free yourself by forgiving anyone who has hurt or wronged you in any way, even if you do not feel like it, this is a choice, a deliberate act of obedience to God, for he commands those who love him to readily easily freely forgive so that God will do the same for you when you die and face God for final judgement. 

I believe that Trump 47 president of the USA will help improve the Economy of the USA

Making the Dollar Stronger, Thank You Trump; that is the fiat currency of the United State of America, cooked up between the Federal Reserve Banking System & the Treasuring since 1973 when trick dick Nixon betrayed America by taking the Dollar off the Gold Standard & ever since then the dollar suffered terrible loss of buying power to pay debts public & private because of quantitative easing or immoral sleazy jerks in charge of such increasing the amount of fiat Dollars such that each Dollar lost more of its buying power, in a way a tax on the lower, poor & working class Americans, during a time when the Middle Class of America continually shrunk, eventually by 15% as of 2025. 

Nearby homes that sold originally for under $30,000 in the 1970'd are currently selling for $1.650 million dollars, that one million six hundred & fifty thousand dollars of fiat funny money on a home loan owned by some industrial bank that some fool who overpaid for such is now on the hook to make a mortgage payment on monthly for 30 years + increasing property taxes as their income taxed while the money keeps losing value. If you add all the taxes, Americans actually pay up to 55% taxes with 6+ layers of taxes on everything from gasoline to prescription drugs to property to income to sale tax on everything else. House poor, many people who recently overpaid for homes at their inflated prices are broke barely able to pay monthly bills, one paycheck away from a financial disaster, unable to travel, unable to patronize restaurants, basically they have nice home but not much else or house poor. 

The cost of all of life's basics became obtuse during COVID19 supply chain shortages, while millions of people & hundreds of thousands of businesses closed, 7 million people died of SARS-CoV-2 invented, made & commercialize at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in Hubei Provence China controlled by the CCP with funding from the PLA or military of the CCP funding since 1999. Scientists working at the Wuhan Institute of Virology on SARS-CoV-2 have disappeared, no information about them remains on any website, they families & close friends have also disappeared never to be found, because the Chinese government or CCP has a long history of never valuing human life. In their ideology its money & economic progress above anything else, literally idolatrizing Gold the metal as supreme money & deity & worshiping the colors of red. China, because they are responsible for the COVID19 debacle globally, owes the entire world $9 trillion dollars + interest increasing. I hate the CCP for what they did in the June 4th Incident, but it is because I love people in Hong Kong & Taiwan that I really hate the CCP & want to see the CCP ended or destroyed & replaced by the ROC a democracy from Taiwan or what was called the Island of Formosa. Its because China is the world's largest polluter that I had the CCP. I have a long list of reasons why I hate the CCP, & it is not just me that hates the CCP. The government of China, the CCP is widely regarded as the most unethical government in the world, effectively evil. 

26ft Snow | Temperatures slump to -11F or -23.9C | Aomori, Japan

Global warming, Climate Change, CO2 emissions, do these ring a bell mentally? If so, you are not alone, many of the world's leading scientists have been waving their hands or "red flags" warning that global pollution emissions from all human activities are affecting the climate & weather of the Earth, notwithstanding that the Sun varies it power output as a giant gravity confined hydrogen fusion reactor that fuses 600 million tons of hydrogen per second producing 3/4 Helium ions, & solar heat & light that reaches the Earth powers algae in bodies of water & plants, trees, forming the base of the food webs that comprise all edible foods on Earth as many animals that produce milk or meat or fish eat plants or algae, so stuff like coal, oil, natural gas made of ancient sunlight that hit plants billions or hundreds of millions of years ago, or dinosaurs, or a combination of ancient plants & animals, yeast & bacteria & viruses, were covered by volcanic eruptions and emissions of asteroid impacts, under lakes, under ancient oceans, under heat & pressure of tectonic activity of Earths geotectonic plates moving on molten lava underneath, compressed & pressurized organic matter to form coal, oil or petroleum & natural gas roughly. 

Japan. Aomori, the capital of Aomori Prefecture in northern Japan, population exceeding 260,000, experiences ~26 feet snow annually November to April when Temperatures dip to a low of -11F. Located between Hakkōda Mountains & Mutsu Bay such that colliding winds generate clouds, leading to snow formation, which is nothing more than tiny rain droplets that become ice crystals in air cold enough to freeze water into its crystal solid form frozen cold or freezing or subfreezing cold air colling with rain forms snow, sleet, hail, ice storms, blizzards, or similar weather in winter snow storms. 

Sake from made in the cold mountains of Japan some of the smoothest & best tasting rice wine I have ever had the pleasure of enjoying with friends while visiting Japan :) 

Record subfreezing weather & snow record fall can easily damage crops important to the local economy, particularly Apple trees more than 60 years old, some of which were broken under the heavy weight of the snow in below 0 temperatures. The region famous for fresh seafood like many other locals in Japan, noting that fish protein comprises large portions of the typical Japanese persons diet & it has been this way for many thousands of years, according to what I learned at the National History Museum of Japan in Tokyo when I was visiting touring Japan in 2010, special thanks to Mr. & Mrs. Onuma for hosting me at their home near Yoyogi station :) 

Jesus Christ Never Sinned

Get you facts straight, the historical evidence says that Jesus Christ went around performing miracles healing random strangers of diseases in ways that astonished everyone, even embarrassed the Pharisees who eventually out of bitterness clamored for Pontius Pilate to have Jesus crucified as an innocent man, even through Pilate objected, saying "This man has not committed any crimes or sin, why should he be crucified unto death" but Jesus had to die in order to satisfy the requirement of God such that anyone who calls upon Christ Jesus as their Lord & Savior, becoming godly in conduct, repenting to God, turning away from sin, becoming a man or woman of God, shall not die but have everlasting life in heaven.

Because God made Jesus's mother pregnant, God is Christ Jesus's genetic father, so the blood that went through Jesus's body was programed by God's unmatched perfect DNA.

John 3:16 about Salvation through faith in God through Christ Jesus

John 18:33-38

Then Pilate entered the Praetorium again, called Jesus, and said to Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” Jesus answered him, “Are you speaking for yourself about this, or did others tell you this concerning Me?” Pilate answered, “Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests have delivered You to me. What have You done?” Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now My kingdom is not from here.” Pilate therefore said to Him, 'Are You a king then?' Jesus answered, 'You say rightly that I am a king. For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.' Pilate said to Him, “What is truth?” And when he had said this, he went out again to the Jews, and said to them, “I find no fault in Him at all.

Matthew 27:15-26

Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to releasing to the multitude one prisoner whom they wished. And at that time they had a notorious prisoner called Barabbas. Therefore, when they had gathered together, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?” For he knew that they had handed Him over because of envy. While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, “Have nothing to do with that just Man, for I have suffered many things today in a dream because of Him.” But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitudes that they should ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus. The governor answered and said to them, “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” They said, “Barabbas!” Pilate said to them, "What then shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?" Theyall said to him, "Let Him be crucified!" Then the governor said, "Why, what evil has He done?" But they cried out all the more, saying, "Let Him be crucified!" When Pilate saw that he could not prevail at all, but rather that a tumult was rising, he took water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, "I am innocent of the blood of this just Person. You see to it." And all the people answered and said, "His blood be on us and on our children." Then he released Barabbas to them; and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered Him to be crucified.

Luke 23:6-12

When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked if the Man were a Galilean. And as soon as he knew that He belonged to Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem at that time. Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceedingly glad; for he had desired for a long time to see Him, because he had heard many things about Him, and he hoped to see some miracle done by Him. Then he questioned Him with many words, but He answered him nothing. And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused Him. Then Herod, with his men of war, treated Him with contempt and mocked Him, arrayed Him in a gorgeous robe, and sent Him back to Pilate. That very day Pilate and Herod became friends with each other, for previously they had been at enmity with each other.

John 19:1-6

So then Pilate took Jesus and scourged Him. And the soldiers twisted a crown of thorns and put iton His head, and they put on Him a purple robe. Then they said, “Hail, King of the Jews!” And they struck Him with their hands. Pilate then went out again, and said to them, “Behold, I am bringing Him out to you, that you may know that I find no fault in Him.” Then Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. And Pilate said to them, “Behold the Man!” Therefore, when the chief priests and officers saw Him, they cried out, saying, “Crucify Him, crucify Him!” Pilate said to them, “You take Him and crucify Him, for I find no fault in Him.”

Matthew 27:63-65

saying, “Sir, we remember, while He was still alive, how that deceiver said, ‘After three days I will rise.’ Therefore command that the tomb be made secure until the third day, lest His disciples come by night and steal Him away, and say to the people, ‘He has risen from the dead.’ So the last deception will be worse than the first.” Pilate said to them, “You have a guard; go your way, make itas secure as you know how.”

Mark 15:42-45

Now when evening had come, because it was the Preparation Day, that is, the day before the Sabbath, Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent council member, who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God, coming and taking courage, went in to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Pilate marveled that He was already dead; and summoning the centurion, he asked him if He had been dead for some time. So when he found out from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.

Luke 23:14

said to them, “You have brought this Man to me, as one who misleads the people. And indeed, having examined Him in your presence, I have found no fault in this Man concerning those things of which you accuse Him;

John 19:14-16

Now it was the Preparation Day of the Passover, and about the sixth hour. And he said to the Jews, “Behold your King!” But they cried out, “Away with Him, away with Him! Crucify Him!” Pilate said to them, “Shall I crucify your King?” The chief priests answered, “We have no king but Caesar!” Then he delivered Him to them to be crucified. Then they took Jesus and led Him away.

Without Serious Battery Improvement EV's Have Expensive Rare Earth Lithium-Ion Packs that Fade with Time & Cycling

You might wonder why I called lithium-ion batteries rare earth, explained in the current state of total global lithium mining maxed out to capacity, when much of these batteries are made for portable COTS or consumer off the shelf electronics like tablets, smartphones, smart watches, laptops, portable battery banks, portable jumper packs, power tools, battery electric lawn & garden tools, & many other kinds of flashlights, power banks, battery generators, literally billions of things containing common lithium-ion batteries, even battery powered blenders & battery powered chainsaws, almost anything featuring a lithium-ion battery like E-bikes or Electric Kick Scooters widely popular as "Last Mile" devices in big cities. But as almost everyone knows who has owned a smartphone for a few years, lithium-ion batteries fade with time & cycling. In an EV battery fade progressively reduces range per charge, reducing the functionality of BEV as it ages, even if its sits without being used very much. Just sitting without use a lithium-ion battery loses capacity, they are also incredibly complicated to manufacture. 

I am not going to get into the physics of how much energy gasoline & diesel & jet fuel provide vehicles with engines or turbine engines, like every car, truck, bus, & airplane in the world, where BEV represent perhaps a percent or so maximum market diffusion or penetration or adoption as in BEV's purchased as daily use vehicles by normal people worldwide. Not everyone can make good use of a BEV, let me tell you after trying 3 different Nissan LEAF models, each with more battery capacity & performance. 

Not only can we not make 8 billion cars for everyone alive, we certainly do not have enough lithium to make billions of EV battery packs of 100kWh or more, or a similar number of very high capacity whole home battery banks with hundreds of kWh of storage capacity, or God forbit, huge GWH scale renewable energy storage systems for intermittent wind & solar power development so they can output firm power 24/7, instead of only when the wind blows or sun shines, which not only varies through the day but also by season throughout the year, and climate change means those inputs, wind & solar, will change with time. I am saying that lithium the metal is the problem with making billions of BEV's, there is not enough lithium mining capacity or proven reserves of lithium in the crust of the earth in feasibly to mine locations or resources if you call nature by such names as a mining company producing lithium.

Sodium & Aluminum Ion batteries can be made by the trillion because sodium & aluminum are thousands of times more abundant in terms of easy to mine & produce at huge industrial scales needed to make trillions upon trillions of battery cells for billions of battery electric vehicles powered by Sodium-Ion battery packs or Aluminum Ion battery Packs, or Magnesium Ion battery packs, or Silicon Batteries, or batteries made of earth abundant elements like those of AMBRI for grid power storage at the GW scale.

To replace gasoline & diesel with battery electric, we would need to be manufacturing TWH terawatt hour worth of battery cells, trillions upon trillions of kilowatt hours of battery production. Vastly more than all batteries of every kind mass produced today worldwide in every country using input materials for every mining operation worldwide. So how are we going to make enough batteries to power billions of BEV's? Fossil fuels including sadly coal, natural gas, bunker oil, crude oil, diesel, gasoline, jet fuel, propane, butane, tar sands, all said, contribute PWH or Thousands of Trillions of Kilowatt Hours of input prime firm energy, & 98% of transportation worldwide powered by fossil fuels as of 2025. Replacing all those fossil fueled vehicles with battery electric models will take many decades. We can make synthetic fuel from many feedstock inputs for hundreds of years, from coal & natural gas, so gasoline & diesel, synthetic versions called synfuels will be around for at least 300 more years. 

Honda Quality Slipping Up

Known for having exceptional customer service, quality portable generators, the nicest lawnmowers, exceptional motorcycles, Honda collection hall in the Japan super cool with ASIMO, so many innovations like the Clarity Fuel Cell electric vehicle, & really dope cars like the legendary S2000, how has Honda botched some of their recent vehicles.

I purchased a Honda CRz Hybrid 6sp Manual Transmission Hybrid in 2015 & drove it for a few years, but it was a glitchy model where the dashboard would cut out while driving, causing me too have to push the clutch in & restart the car while driving it, & the dealer could not find any issues with it. I ended up trading it in on a 2016 Nissan LEAF in 2018, then traded that LEAF for our 2010 Prius III in Feb 2020. Let examine examples with lots of data, since that Honda CRZ kind of an odd ball low volume example.

Popular Honda CRV competes directly against Toyota Rav4, but the 2017 CRV known for electrical problems, fuel injectors that jam or fail, & power steering that gives out or malfunctions while driving it, scaring the ghost out of drivers who suddenly lost power steering while turning in tight neighbor hilly corners, where the steering became suddenly really heavy & hard to turn, causing under steering that send the vehicle into the oncoming lane, in most cases no accidents thankfully. 

A bigger SUV the Honda Pilot competes against the 4Runner, but the 2016 Honda Pilot notorious for having engine & transmission problems & like my glitchy CRZ, they are also known for weird electrical problems. To be fair, electrical issues are more likely lately not just because of OBDII, but also because modern vehicles like the 2025 Prius 5th gen have more than 130 computer chip modules & miles of wiring in the vehicle wiring harness, so many more points of electrical failures like shorts or connections loosening, or corrosion in pin connector harnesses not sealed from moisture properly with a double rubber gasket the way Toyota Denso do IP76 seal electrical connectors on Toyota/ Lexus vehicles by comparison. 

2018 Honda Accord plagued with head gasket failures, fuel system problems, this on top of the 1.5L Earth Dreams turbo engine with valve seats that coke up easily early & piston blow by oil dilution problems. As the world's largest motorcycle maker, & maker of GX100 & GX200 engines of superior quality, it's hard to imagine the maker of the Honda Super Cub making unreliable automobiles, when they really nailed every model with legendary long-life reliability in the 1990's. 

Now while I regularly toot Toyota's horn for being the best automakers, they have also sold dodgy unreliable models over the years, such as Tacoma that have frame rails that rust out fast causing the nickname Taco Tacoma for specific model years 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2012, 2016, & 2019. Best model years of Tacoma on the other hand that are very reliable consist of 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2020, 2021, 2022 & 2023. We are still collecting real world data for Tacoma MY2024 & MY2025. This article is about Honda problems, not bashing Toyota

Did you hear that Honda is merging with Nissan, what an abortion, Nissan is terrible, mismanaged for decades of bordering on bankruptcy. If Toyota has good QA:QC then Nissan does not know anything about quality analysis or quality control by comparison. Surely this would be like DeWalt merging with Black & Decker where the resulting outcome was cheaper lower quality DeWalt tools with plastic gears & brushed motors, that weight less & cost less but are less reliable. 

Though DeWalt does still sell pro tools with metal gearing & brushless motors & quality batteries that compete with Milwaukee with professional that use tools daily at work, at construction sites for example. I am thinking of old school 18 volt DeWald NiCD tool batteries that last 20+ years of daily heavy use & still work, even if repeated dropped, stepped on, driven over, bashed, dented, they just keep going & going, like those lithium iron- disulfide Energizer AA or LR6 batteries. I think of tools with cars because car mechanics use tools to work on cars daily, especially impact drivers & drill drivers, & battery electric socket drivers, & battery electric torque drivers, like the Bosche Tools used at a BMW production facility in Germany, say GommeBlog YouTube video http://youtu.be/T9OApsY_dgg?si=YkvGIs6xzCqumH0L

German Cars to Avoid Buying | Not Reliable | Fast Depreciation & Higher Operating Costs

Depreciating so fast it will eat any money you spend on a new one like throwing $100 bills into a bon fire. They cost more to insure too, registration costs more, they eat expensive tires faster, only specialized mechanics that charge more can work on them & often parts are not available. 

Pay $50K or $60K or $70K or $80K or $100K or more for a brand new one that loses $15,000 of value the moment your drive it off the dealership lot into the world. Do yourself a favor, if you like they way they look or drive, lease one for 2 or 3 or 4 years, then turn them back in to get out from under them before they break down. Replacing an engine or transmission in one of these expensive German made luxury cars can cost $20K or more. That is part of why they depreciate so fast. 

Parts are repairs are very expensive, like Farari, with very high total costs of ownerships, or the highest cost per mile. Approaching the operating costs of a Robinson R22 helicopter in terms of cost per hour of driving in many cases of the most expensive automobiles, such as Bently or Rolls Royce, but at least those are made superlative with exceptional reliability & the smoothest possible ride quality, very posh indeed.

Anyone that knows automotive history knows that Toyota / Lexus the only automaker with a history of selling vehicles with legendary reliability. That means Camry, Corolla, Rav4, Tacoma, Tundra, Prius, Land Cruiser, Hybrid Synergy Drive versions of those vehicles or glib luxury tuned Lexus variations.

A well-known professional German car mechanic told me to avoid buying any new Mercedes Bens vehicles except some of the best AMG with hand built engines of very high performance as those ones are actually reliable long term, though also expense because of their heavy fuel consumption and similarly expensive service and repair costs, especially if your drive them fast the way there were designed to go. 

He mentioned the VW Gold GT, Porsche Cayanne GTS, Audi RS6, & Mercedes CLC ass the worst examples, though that VW Turag holds records along with the MINI made by BMW, as the most unreliable cars made in Germany & sold around the world. Rolling piles of automotive depreciation that break down regularly, then when you take them to get repaired parts are not available, and or the repair costs are 2X or 3X or 4X more costly than a comparable automobile made in Japan or America or Korea.

In the 1980s the Germans build very reliable Mercedes vehicles and until 2024 in Austria Magna Styr also most hand made every Mercedes G-class based on a 1984 military SUV design for offroad use, though they made them very glib with big powerful engines & luxury focus for the consumer market, but kept the exceptionally strong drivetrain, suspension & frame largely unchanged for almost 40 years, though they discontinued the OG G-Wagon in 20204 as the last year of production Austria. Some people that worked at that Austrian G-class production factory worked there for their entire carrier & even some of these factory workers children were working with them until the operations ceased. 

Mercedes did the unthinkable and decided to develop a more highway high speed consumer friendly model with less robust parts that cost less to make so more profitable, sort of the way GM converted the OG H1 Hummer into a half-baked Suburban copy with a body kit in the H2 that got even more stupid by H3. Mercedes also sold very reliable diesel sedans in the 1980's and 1990s, many of which continue to operate today setting odometer records, and others have been converted to run on biodiesel made from used fry oil, namely collected from fast food restaurants, namely GMO Rape Seed Oil or what they inaccurately call vegetable oil when its sold at the grocery or supermarket.

People are shopping online more & in first person less, or shifting consumer habits

Retail Costs Rising

Operating costs for stores are increasing because labor laws that require more pay per hour for employees, while rent for store locations also increasing

Specialty discounter retailers like Marshals or Home Goods offer the same stuff as big box stores at hugely discounted prices and have become more popular as incomes have stagnated vs rising life costs while the US dollar and many other currencies of fiat type have been losing value in ways that continually make everything more expensive. 

Mall traffic also decreasing as more people stuck in heavy traffic have less time since both parents have to work full time to pay for life, that makes it less time efficient to stop at more stops, so the people still patronizing retail tend to be the same who read newspapers instead of online, or the kinds that pay for cable TV instead of streaming, who also have a land line instead of a smartphone, who tend to like flip phones or basic cells phones, a shrinking parts of the population fading away just like the retail stores, malls & other "Brick & Mortar" locations. 

Personal Financial Problems

Currency inflation means loss of buying power of the US dollar and for so many households in America that makes the money not go as far for buying essential goods, you know life's basic consumables, flour, sugar, salt, steak, veggies, fruits, berries, nuts, seeds, spices, rent, cars prices, home prices, it seems everything from clothing to toilet paper & building supplies have prices on the rise or everything is becoming more expensive for everyone, reducing personal financial stability so people economize by buying even less, which slows the economy down, which reduces economic opportunities known as jobs, which reduces income, which increase consumer concerns & decrease consumer confidence, further reducing spending, as the middle class shrinks and the wealthiest people who own all the emerging industries online see their personal wealth increase radically. 

Many Americas today are just one paycheck away from financial ruin or bankruptcy. This trend getting worse as more people are forced out of the middle class with gentrification into the low class, working class or poor class, known as increasing class disparity or increasing income inequality, it was warned about by Adam Smith in the 1700's in his landmark paper The Wealth of Nations, specifically the 10 principles of the concentration of wealth and power. 

1 Reduce democracy

2 Shape ideology

3 Redesign the economy

4 Shift the burden onto the poor and middle classes

5 Attack the solidarity of the people

6 Let special interests run the regulators

7 Engineer election results

8 Use fear and the power of the state to keep the rabble in line

9 Manufacture consent

10 Marginalize the population

COVID Problems Continue

During the COVID19 pandemic, caused by Sars-CoV-2 virus designed & produced at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in Hubei Provence China with CCP funding from the PLA military since 1999, more than 7 million people died from COVID infections while almost 699 million other people were badly sickened or injured by COVID, the net costs to all economies worldwide total more than $8.5 trillion in losses due to COVID19 supply chain shortages & other problems. Many retail stores were stripped of inventory of consumable like flour, toilet paper, rice, sugar, bullets, timber, construction materials, seafood, beef, eggs, milk, you know basic consumables, while more people staying at home 

Fear of World War Three or WWIII Emerging Soon

Consumer confidence in America at an all-time low because of radical changes that Trump making with many executive orders. Trump was shot at 3 different times when running for officer & winning to become the 47th president of the USA and promised to get rid of the IRS & replace the IRS with the ERS by taxing imported goods, strengthening the US dollar & economy by incentivizing companies to manufacture stuff for sale to Americans in America, or Made in the USA. He said he will use revenue from tariffs to pay off $36 trillion of US National Debt also. I voted for Trump and so did my wife to protect the US economy & to prevent other nations from continuing to take advantage of America's economy like many nations have been doing for the last 50 years. 

 

Hiking into a Upper Alpine Snow Storm with Natural Sounds

See the YouTube Video http://youtu.be/7yBWbycbcio?si=ElpTuMTvPmgfkFMo

Right around freezing cold outside, we leave our home on foot & walk about a mile to the Bullet Fireplace Entry to this system of hiking trails. It became colder as we climbed higher in altitude, causing snow to stick to us & the ground, building up to about an inch crunching under our feet. We went higher than the Bullet Fireplace because we made a wrong turn, but will go there next time.

Saturday Feb 1st, 5.5 miles, 1100 ft elevation gain overall, 2.2 hours, 423% of workout goal for day

We brought along almost a gallon of water to stay hydrated, some nuts for snacks & pre-made plant based protein shakes were the first thing we consumed while climbing. The return hike and walk was much faster than the climb up. It was really beautiful to see the green tree's actively being coated with snow. We got really wet as the snow on us melted, but not far from home, we just accepted being cold, going numb, it was fun & the first time we ever hiked in an active snow storm in an upper alpine environment. 

That makes today, Sunday Feb 2nd a rest & recovery day, to rehydrate, chill, take it easy, recover. If the active hiking day was catabolic, as in tearing up the muscles and joints, then today is anabolic, rest & recovery. Its very important to alternate high energy days with grueling exercise with a rest day for anabolic processes to rebuild your bones, joints and muscles, while other biochemical changes increase your metabolism, improving your arteries, veins & capillaries, making your heart & brain stronger with improved blood flow, improved oxygen transport, improved bone marrow function, improved balance & coordination, improved agility, endurance, stamina, energy level, and overall boosting your net health & wellness. 

Hiking is also great because it gets you into nature where green light abounds which has an anti depressant effect, while the air quality better away from traffic, & other hikers tend to be really friendly to interact with, at least around these parts, Issaquah, Washington State, USA. 

Pirates in 2025 are also Terrorists

Merchant ships moving goods around the world should be able to safely transit without trouble from pirates. Ships have been central to the trade of goods throughout the world for hundred of years, & smaller boats have been used for fishing for thousands of years, but the Bible says no new sin exists, for pirates existed back then in antiquity & still exist today, so lets explore why. 

Pirates from Somalia 

Start with Somaliland, like many other impoverished developing countries, the government of Somalia fails to invest in infrastructure, education, healthcare, finance, or anything else like mining or manufacturing, say "Value Added" or "Export Revenue Generation" economic functioning. In business terms most modern economies transition from Making Things to Selling Services, & most services can be made up with thinking from thin air, so any developing country could easily invest in educating its people about how to crate value added services.

Greed Confusing but Common

You want millions of dollars, so does everyone who play the lottery in America, DUH! But as I have pointed out many times before, money alone does not make a happy life, at least past $400K per year in family income, after that its all mirrors & smoke of illusion of luxury items that are of no better actual quality & often made in the same factories in china as much less expensive things.

Overprices Luxury Goods Often also a Scam 

Who pays $18,000 for a pay of jeans when you can get a really nice pair, the highest quality for $250 hand made in America using American fabric sewn by Americans with American brans names, while many imported jeans of much lower but still good or ok quality can be obtained for $50 or even $30 or on the low end $20 or even $10, & my wife always shops the clearance items for anything like clothing especially, so being frugal also intelligent. 

Intelligence Means Being Practical & Frugal & Wise with Your Money

Raise your hand if you want to overpay for things? Some dumb rich people will only buy things if they cost enough, because they want to feel special as if no one else has deep pockets to buy the same things, when this is rarely true, thus largely illusionary. 

Most of the wealthiest Americans are also the cheapest in terms of spending on daily items of use, like clothing, cars, homes, the basics of life, they take all the money they save & invest in high income stocks & other profit generating passive income creation investments. A long known method for increasing personal wealthy that nearly anyone can also use to increase their income, including people in Somalia or anywhere else, online especially, if they were educated enough to know the difference, I mean to make that mental difference that translates into improved income usually easily, since I know people who are intellectually dumb who are multimillionaires.

Man is Job, Job is Man

Get off your ass & go do something, nobody owes you anything, you have to go out there into the world and make a life for yourself by getting a job with income so you have money to pay for life basics. Oh but I don't make enough, the don't have children if you cannot afford children. Do not buy an expensive home if you cannot afford an expensive home, since being house poor also sucks. 

Use the brain that you have by turning your brain on more & think about how to make your life better than do it & make it happen. Stop complaining because that is not a pathway to improvement, it's winging & bitching & complaining which no one likes to listen to. The Christian Bible says that a man who can work who chooses not to work does not deserve to eat. That means to be a man means you have to make money one way or another so you can pay for your life, your wife, your family, man up & stop complaining.
