These saved my life in 1990. A drunk driver trying to make an offramp sent me into them at ~50mph in a flimsy Rabbit GTI. It was the ONE time in my life I was driving without a seatbelt. We were all seriously bruised up but fine.

Cool 408 sidenotes:

LOL, wut?

Rolling coal is dumb, obnoxious and hazardous in many many ways. I’m glad they got fined. I don’t understand why the “thin blue line” decal mention was necessary. You could’ve just said MAGA sticker or confederate flag sticker. The picture you’re painting would’ve come through just as well without revealing your bias…

Nobody knows what a volt or a bolt or a jolt is, and they’ve been on the market for years.

Um, obviously their first model needs to be a Buick Electra.

This platform will underpin new cars from Pontiac AND Saturn!

leave it to GM to be two decades behind itself.

Re: Hardley Ableson:

I mean, you’re not wrong, but walking onto stage in front of your investors with a rifle while the Old Yeller theme plays probably isn’t going to sell.

Nothing. I’d just sit around until the golden parachute kicks in and then bail. For goodness sake, how many final last chances does Harley get? Just let them, and their whole poisonous cult, die.

An electric Harley will never sell in big numbers. Every time they're at a light or just cruising down small streets they always hold down the clutch and pull the throttle down just a little to make sure everyone knows how cool they are. How do you let everyone know how cool you are on an electric bike? Until Harley…

It is literally Trumps fault because he slapped a bunch of tariffs around the world and they retaliated by hitting Harley with tariffs. 

The funny part about conservatives trying to be funny is that they keep trying.

I’m an American and I absolutely hate nascar. It’s stupid.

As an engineer at a Steel Mill where ~80% of our produced material goes into the automotive/heavy truck industry I have seen many changes in what is being ordered.

Agreed, it’s a bit silly. Warranty costs are usually a product of culture/process issues in engineering and/or purchasing.

Mad Mike is gone but the Earth is still a-round...

I’ll see myself out

So is he now the flattest flat Earther?

In just under 5 yrs, the way things have been going.
