Cadillac needs embrace the aging Boomer demographic. Make everything a CUV or SUV with commercials highlighting how easy it is for old, obese people to get in/out of the car and just enough technology (rearview and blind spot cameras) so the driver doesn’t have to strain themselves by looking over their shoulders or…

Yup, we have a couple of folks in my office who are apartment dwellers with EVs. They moved our office. The old location had half a dozen EV charging spots so as long as they could score one every other day for a bit, they were golden. The new location has zero and they are fucked. Dunno if they swapped with their…

I understand exactly where you are coming from, and I do fully agree that for most homeowners the best course of action will be to charge every/nearly every night. However, the fact is that in a pinch or case of emergency, there are approximately 150,000 gas stations in this country that can completely fuel my car in…

They got it all wrong, your supposed to remove the battery and then add an engine to the Tesla. Preferably an AMG or a small block from GMPP.

wait, you mean the way they did it for 55 years? get outta here.

It’s inherently a challenging situation, though, isn’t it? There’s no polite way to say “I think you’re trying to rip me off,” which is basically what a low opening offer is doing.

Or, don’t buy from a dealer to start with if you can help it. I’ve bought four cars over the past seven years. Two at a dealer, two private party.

“GM and VW are idiots”, you could have stopped there. 

Unless something crazy happens, a straight electric is just not practical for long journeys.  Not enough range, takes too long to recharge.  I have a 650 very rural miles to drive next week.... there's stretches without cell service.  Darn sure no charging stations...

Maybe in theory, but they also tend to be fairly reliable despite the complexity. The brakes last forever due to regen braking. Transmission and ICE engines tend to be under low stress due to the torque of the electric engines helping out. Electric drivetrain components are fairly simple.  A lot of old Prius and…

That said, the track worker’s job is to not let cars burn, no matter what, and a professional should be able to shrug off what dickheads freaking out about their burning car yell at them and keep their focus on putting out the fire in the car.

Standing around a car that might be engulfed in flames at any moment because its Simple Simon-ass rural owner can’t operate an on/off switch is hardly part of the job description of anyone whose work-issued uniform is a t-shirt and a pair of jorts. I doubt that the Milan Dragway puts up any memorials for track workers…

I’m not sure which is funnier: the dumbshit who can’t figure out how to switch a car off, the muppets with the fire extinguishers, the pre-pubescant narrator with his squeaky voice, or the just general absurdity of the entire scenario. I mean yeah, the guy with the fire extinguisher should have maybe stuck around, but…

I’m sorry, but no.

Putting the “Fiat” in Fiat Chrysler, I see. 

“I’m not shedding any tears for the dickhead who doesn’t know how to operate his car without it bursting into flames”

Who lit the fire under his ass?

The driver was a dick. His car deserves to burn.

Milan, Michigan (not the one in Italy, as is commonly mistaken)
