Those are the survivors.

Well at least for things politicians don’t make major political issues they do defer to career experts in government departments and agencies

Thanks Biden!

The Iron Duke still powers the 35-year-old USPS LLV that chugs by my house every day (except Sunday, of course.)

I mean sure I get that, and if you are using IN country 100% ok with you getting in trouble, even if I might personally disagree. But using say in California, and flying to China and getting booted because of a dirty piss test is crazy. I mean after that flight even if you smoked right before boarding you would be…

This is so fucking stupid. First of all, the CCP has been turning a blind eye and probably even willfully allowing fentanyl to be exported to the US.

But the bigger discussion is about pot. Should you smoke or use it when driving or operating machinery? Nope. But the same is true with alcohol, which is perfectly…

Two words. Wells Fargo.

Your life was simple and carefree in the ‘90s because you were a baby. 

Wow. Someone making less than a $1m a year was even allowed to buy a $770k car? Who gave him the loan? That was moronic on the loan provider. Man I got grilled while securing a loan for a $54k car when my wife and I made ~$160k a year together. I can’t believe someone making, best case scenario $480k a year (doing…

You say a stadium full of pot smokers like it’s a bad thing.

So that employee drives an EcoSport?

Equally baffling - a majority of Americans feel Trump would be better for the economy than Harris. Trump - the man without the most remedial knowledge of economics, let alone trade agreements. The one that wants to bully the Fed into lowering interest rates, guaranteed to frighten the markets and send inflation into…

There are virtually no cars made by Chinese companies sold in the US, fabricated in Mexico or otherwise. It may actually be zero now that Fisker is dead. Meanwhile, every American carmaker sells vehicles that are at least partially assembled in China, and more than a few in Mexico. In his quest to exploit xenophobia,…

If only there some kind of remote, OnStar like thing that could be triggered to lock thieves in stolen cars and then have them self-destruct. A computerized voice could do a countdown from say 30 seconds (maybe less, testing would need to be done) while interjecting little comments like “don’t you wish that you’d…

If the policeman suspected the vehicle was stolen and called a wrecker to take the vehicle to the police lock up, I would agree.  But the policeman knew who owned the vehicle and decided to penalize an innocent party.  Obviously, campaign contributions keep the dealership free from any penalties for breaking the law.

Kind of a dick move. I see where the police are coming from, but I don’t think this solution is going to change the dealers behavior. Why would the dealership care? They aren’t paying the fines (unless they sell a vehicle, apparently).

As a mechanic, when people ask me what to buy, I tell them to avoid anything Stellantis, German, especially VAG,  Nissan, and Ford. Only because that's 95% of what we see in the shop, and mostly big-ticket repairs. ( EcoBoost turbos anyone?)  But I can't complain. Pays the rent. 

I’d probably use many of the same reasons you did…except for the environmental friendliness comment. An EV is so wildly more efficient at converting stored energy to motion that it easily offsets any challenges in production. At this point, you have to be willingly holding onto misinformation to believe otherwise.

Korean. The vehicles are fine. I drive a fleet Santa Fe. But I’m an industrial repair engineer and have worked in a number of Korean plants in the US and Mexico. They’re full of OSHA violations, the kind that endanger workers. Some that I have worked in have been locked down and fined. Korean plants stand out among…

Any Escalade, in any trim. If you really need a fancy, giant, box-shaped tank to take your kids to school and soccer practice, buy a Yukon Denali and save your self $25K - $30K. At least then when the plastics start cracking, and all the fittings start creaking and rattling, and the leather starts wearing out, and the…
