I believe there was an article on here not too long ago about how leasing was crazy compared to buying. I might be wrong though.

In both scenarios you listed, install a charger, then have it be pay-to-charge, not unlike public charging. The charging rate will pay for the charger install and the electricity used.

I agree. They should at least be required on any new builds.

Certainly financially dumb. Some of these would strike you as at least casually intelligent people.

The insurance company doesn’t work for you, it works for shareholders. You’re screwed.

It’s Raph, he’s more interested in bicycles

Glad to see there is still no editing or proofreading being done before publishing articles at Jalopnik.

The one time I liked and respected Lindsey Graham is when he observed quite accurately that “If you killed Ted Cruz on the floor of the Senate, and the trial was in the Senate, nobody would convict you.”

Commuting home from Boston yesterday I had a Vermont plated car start flashing his high beams at me like crazy because I passed him on the right when he was doing 10mph under the limit with an open road in front of him. You’re a long way from home Toto!

No top, doesn’t look pretty, carb’d Chevy 350... “but the real one went 215 mph in the straight at Daytona”

PennDOT did a study of this years ago. If traffic is light, the most efficient thing to do is merge early. It's only when traffic is already stop-and-go that the zipper merge is better. And anyway, doing a zipper merge doesn't give you license to cut people in line.

There’s a lot less moving parts in this option

It’s not really a NP/ND car. This is a car for someone with a certain aesthetic, hobby, and wallet-size. There are plenty of kit-car guys out there, and this is a clean one, pretty well done. The guy interested in this doesn’t give a shit if you hate it, because he thinks it’s cool and will be fun to screw around with…

Let me see if I can sum up this experience on a nice summer day. There’s no top so you’ll be wearing a hat or burning the top of your head, said hat would also be flying off in the wind. It’s black on black so when parked ( no top again) those seats are going to fry your legs and any other bare skin that touch it.…

This. I own a Fiesta. I can park it almost anywhere. I can turn tightly almost anywhere. It’s simple and small and nimble and manageable and I’d LOVE to be able to buy something upmarket of it that was similarly-sized. But instead I can’t even buy another one of it now that I’m looking at my next vehicle, much less a…

The U-2 is used for reconnaissance. It’s not a fighter aircraft. Fighter pilots on shorter missions don’t need snacks.

I’ll bet that the winner is selling two of those at a profit to the underbidders. That actually sounds like a good deal. There are a lot of cars that had these swapped out for carbs that would be more that ten thousand more valuable with them reinstalled.

A great time to insert my favorite description for them that I have seen: Meal Team 6

That works until the company beats the shit out of you legally because you’re making up your own frontier justice laws and trying to enforce them yourself, and they have real attorneys who know you’re wrong.  Have fun sending that message in court.
