    Bob doesn't cease to amaze me. He is incredibly good at speaking japanese, that's what I observed last time around. He actually knows that Finland isn't a Scandinavian country. This guy is proabably waaaay smarter than what his golden comedic vibe conveys to people. Guy is the real deal.

      Well he also makes assumptions based on stuff he thinks he knows...
      The first clip with the Saab 90... He says that it was a requirement from the EU... Car produced from 1984 to 1987.
      The European single market has existed since 1993, prior to that, no European standard existed. So that's pure bullshit !
      This was just a Scandinavian car thing. Volvo and Saab were innovators trying to have the safest cars, and back then, lights were not as good as today. Sweden seems to have made it mandatory for a certain period. Now it seems that only fluid is used for that.
      But for the rest of the world, it was sold as an option.

Nissan had the good sense to use a female voice that sounded sexy and very realistic as opposed to Chrysler's robot male.

    You'd think that a gyroscopically stabilized car would be awful to corner in as well. Not because the gyro can't go around the corner - it can, without any resistance other than inertia, but that's only true if it's perfectly vertical. This thing is a two wheeled vehicle that can't lean into a turn. Similarly, it's going to struggle mightily if the road itself is banked in a turn.

      Yes it can lean into a turn. The Gyrocar had a system to move the gyro so the car would lean. You can find clips of the gyrocar driving on TH-cam where it visibly leans. Even if it didn't lean, it would still remain upright and would actually be more stable than a four wheeled car. The only reason for it to lean is comfort.

    16:11 The Nucleon was only the second most terrifying idea for a nuclear-powered vehicle. Both the USA and the USSR experimented with nuclear aircraft, but they came to their senses before they went anywhere. The Americans never got past the R&D stage to build a prototype, but the Soviets built the Tupolev Tu-95LAL, which wasn't actually powered by the reactor, it just had a reactor running in the bomb bay while conventional engines actually powered the craft in order to test the shielding. (It wasn't quite sufficient and test crews fared poorly.)

      The US very much did fly a reactor. Convair built the NB-36, which was a Peacemaker with a reactor on-board. It did quite a lot of flying and the reactor was operated safely. Both programs were canned more because the requisite size of the aircraft made them too slow to penetrate air defenses more than anything.

      The idea was brilliant, thorium like Bob said is not very dangerous from a radioactivity standpoint and certainly won't kill you any less dead in a crash than a massive fireball of burning jet fuel. The tests were successful --they didn't have the reactors running the engines but they were operational while in flight so they could test if radiation shielding light enough to be airworthy could also be effective, and it was. There was no reason they could not have been built and flown safely. The project was canceled late in development because the ICBM (InterContinental Ballistic Missile) was invented rendering ultra-long range bombers for dropping nuclear weapons no longer necessary. If it had been completed and put into service, the tech would be in commercial airliners long before now and fuel costs would be incredibly low, countless tons of pollution wouldn't have been put into the skies, and a lot of people might have survived plane crashes with minor radiation sickness instead of being roasted alive in a kerosene fireball.

    As someone who had a job pumping gas back when it was not uncommon to encounter cars with the gas cap behind the license plate, I hated them. The spring loaded door made it a pain in the ass to get the nozzle to hook onto the filler tube and all too often the nozzle would fall out and spill gas everywhere.
    I also remember crud falling into the filler since the whole area was constantly pelted with whatever was on the road.

You need a drivers and pilots license, it needs to be registered as a car and a plane, you need a radio operators license and medical certificate to be a pilot, and because it’s over 17ft when the wings are being towed, in America you need a chauffeurs license which requires another, different medical certificate. That’s eight licenses and certificates just to fully use it. No wonder only five were built.

That has positives and negatives. If you overheat and were not paying attention, you would need a new set of head gaskets (at the best).

You just have annual inspections unless you are carrying passengers for hire(or flight instruction), then you need to do 100 hour inspections. Some flight schools do 50 hour inspections since their aircraft get pretty banged up but it's not required. There's a recommendation for 50 hour filter and oil changes, which are no more difficult than a car and can be done by the owner.
      I don't understand the tidbit about 1/5 of engine runtime or whatever. People do cross country flights all the time and spend days flying and just refueling and topping off oil.
      Engine TBO is around 1200-2000 hours, depending on engine.
      There are some aircraft that guzzle fuel, but small general aviation aircraft aren't them. The Ercoupe consumes 5 gallons per hour. A Cessna 172, which is a 4 seater, uses around 8 gph in cruise. The fuel efficiency for the 172 is roughly 15mpg.

    You know what would be awesome well 2 type of videos 1) At the end of each year a Car Designers React to the Best Car for Each Brand for the year. Where they pick 1 best design model from every car manufacturer at the end of each year. Guess it will start with 2024 since this is the first year. 2) The best car manufactured ever from every car manufacturer. Example: The greatest car Ford ever made, the greatest car Mercedes-Benz ever made, the greatest car Toyota ever made ect.

    No one will ever convince me the pop up headlights on my Mazda NA MX5 are bad or ugly. They're the reason it's the best car ever made.

      To qualify as the best it should be super popular all over to the point where it's disgustingly overhyped and I live in South Africa I've only seen 2 Miatas a red one and a lhd green one so it was not sold here if it was it sold horribly so it's not the best

      Especially with a set of E-code Hellas with H4 bulbs. Now the headlights are as bright as modern cars! (or you can put those Jeep LED lights in there, but those look a bit strange on a Miata)

      Not even drunk drivers, just take a look at who you share the road with day to day and think "Boy I wish we were thousands of feet in the air where a slight fender bender sends us plummeting to our deaths".

    Bob is fantastic, no question. That's literally every other comment at the time of writing this, and rightfully so.
    But Bob + Steph is such a power combo btwn technical knowledge, historical knowledge, and sarcasm. I noticed it in the previous vid they did together, but they just play off each other and mesh so well.

    At 18:50 that is 100% true. I have a 1996 Cadillac Fleetwood limo with the gas lid behind the license plate and a locking switch for the plate in the trunk.
