F1 Speed vs. Commercial Viability: Why Don’t F1 Cars Dominate the Commercial Car Market Despite Their Speed?
F1 cars are not road-legal; basically, it is not a car but an extra-fast go-kart; it has no lights/signals and other stuff that makes it legal; even someone can’t drive it comfortably for long distances so its appeal is reduced, but the main reason is that it is not legal.

Let’s get familiarized with the cylinder-on-demand system from Audi.
In 2013, Audi introduced cylinder-on-demand technology, which was installed in several of their cars (in this case, the A8). For some people, this system was quite interesting and was considered revolutionary.

Planned obsolescence in automotive: Is it even real?
It seems like this has been a popular topic of conversation recently, where more and more people feel that the quality of today’s cars is decreasing, especially for cars in the early 2000s, as if today’s cars are like disposable items that have to be thrown away when their useful life has passed.

Harley-Davidson: Why Boomers Love It and Millennials Hate It.
You all must know Harley Davidson, an American icon if I dare to say. It is the embodiment of freedom on a motorcycle, a large V-Twin that is comfortable to ride long distances with big torque, power, or horsepower. This is not something that is pursued here, and enjoyment matters, and it seems that is what they sell.

Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust: Is it important?
Dodge released technology to manipulate sound of ICE engines into some of their EV, which at this time will be installed on the Dodge Charger. Dodge might think that it could be an interesting technology and satisfy users of EV cars who have become accustomed to sound of an engine.

Harley “Woke“ Davidson and their (apparently) wrong approach.
I just read this news, and America (especially Harley Davidson fans) has just been surprised by the statement and direction of Harley Davidson CEO Jochen Zeitz, who seems to support wokeism. This brand seems to support hardline policies on trans care for kids, critical race theory, climate change, diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts, but it feels like the most shocking thing is their support for the LGBT community.

Forced induction : why it is rarely used in motorcycles.
This question arises when I see a Kawasaki H2. It is a technological marvel in the automotive field; how could it not be? A 1-liter DOHC Kawasaki engine can produce a 300-hp motorbike; no other manufacturer can match it for now.

Why is it bad to use brake cleaner for your motorcycle chain.
I think this is something that bikers usually think about. When you don’t have time and your chain lube runs out, you happen to have brake cleaner or carburetor cleaner next to you (if you still use it) so you might think, “Eh, what’s the difference?” and immediately spray it on your chain and after you feel there is no difference and it becomes a habit, some workshops also do that for the same reason, although I think workshops tend to do it more because of economic factors.

Why Nobody Wants a Toyota Supercar.
The world is strange sometimes; most of us can’t afford a supercar and sometimes we expect popular brands like Toyota to make an affordable and high-performance supercar but when they do, everyone doesn’t want to buy it; only a few want it.
