about 100 years ago my great grandfather, who was deaf, was hit and killed working in a rail yard, my great grandmother saved his pocket watch that had the moment of death on it as it stopped working when he was hit.

not everything has a back window you can see out of. 

at work there is not even one car length between rows of spaces (end of painted line to opposite painted line end) so backing out is SO much harder.

Long trucks are so so much easier to back in and pull out. 

Having watched people at work try to back out of a spot, and I backing in every day for years. I have much less trouble backing in than they do backing out. 

Oh the comments here should be good. I know that I mostly back in or pull through and stopping in a parking lot to back in causes confusion in the other drivers.

Same I would love to save my JK and my wife’s dog van from daily driving chores by using a small cheap EV,  but a third car payment is not an option.

Skimmed the comments and did not see one SWIFT trucking joke?????

That is what jalopnik commenters do most often.

I was into cars at the time those were new and I concur that the american people distrust and hatred of Diesel cars is from that single GM fiasco.

Very good list, hard to argue with, As much as I liked looking at a then young Michelle Pfeiffer in Grease 2 when I was a teenage boy. Wow that movie sucked.

The Anti-EV guys I camp/off road with see EVs a cultural death becasue nearly everything in their lives uses and ICE, their 45 minute drive to the store, work, church, school, they tow a giant toy hauler camper behind a big truck to camp with atv/sxs or tow thier 200hp outboard fishing boat, ice house or smowmobile.…
