Slate Auto's Electric Pickup: A Bold Design That Highlights Battle Scars
I just read about this company called Slate that’s making small, no-frills pickups you can get for cheap. Actually, the idea is kind of interesting. The Slate Truck is an electric vehicle that costs under $20,000 (after federal incentives) and is supposed to go into production next year. It only seats two, but it has a bed big enough to hold a sheet of plywood. It gets about 150 miles on a charge, only comes in gray, and the only way to listen to music while driving is if you bring your phone and a Bluetooth speaker. It’s basically the bare minimum of what a modern car can be—and yet, it’s taken three years of development to get here.

Were older cars really more reliable than new cars?
That's a question that comes up a lot, especially because so many people say it—but honestly, it's just an illusion. Modern vehicles don’t need maintenance as often as classic ones. It's just that classic cars are easier to tinker with because they were designed that way.

Why Starting on a Smaller Motorcycle is Best for New Riders
Actually, this is another really common question for beginner riders. Sometimes we wonder if motorcycle licenses should be divided into different tiers based on engine size. As far as I know, in a lot of countries, beginner licenses are limited to 125cc bikes, and you move up based on your skills. The better you get, the higher the level you can ride.

Motorcycle Storage Woes: Will Your Bike Start After Months of Inactivity?
Sometimes we question it. Like, when we’re busy with work and the motorcycle’s been sitting in the garage for months, the thought pops up: “Is my bike actually safe in there?” Especially for people living in four-season countries—most can only ride during the summer when the weather’s decent. The rest of the year, the bike just sits in storage.

The Frustration of Speed Limits on Highways: Does it Make Sense?
Not everyone can drive fast, especially on toll roads. Speed limits are there to keep everyone safe. The main issue is that many people think driving fast is easy. Okay, in some ways it is, but not everyone has quick reflexes. If an accident happens, it can set off a chain reaction, and that’s dangerous.

Formula 1 Car Speed & Horsepower: How Fast Can These Beasts Really Go?
F1 cars race on over 20 different tracks worldwide, each with unique characteristics. This makes it tricky to pinpoint a single top speed. Some tracks have long straights where cars can really open up, while others have tighter corners and lower speed limits. Plus, teams constantly adjust the car’s setup—suspension, aerodynamics, and engine settings—to suit each track. So, while an F1 car can theoretically reach very high speeds, the actual top speed achieved varies greatly depending on the circuit.

The Tesla Paradox: Why People Pay More for Less (Compared to Chinese EVs)
I sat in a Model 3 a few years ago during an exhibition. The salesperson said that I could try it, but I was not interested in EVs, especially Tesla; my focus was only on the car.
