PHEVs are the right choice for most people with just one car in their household while 2 car households would most benefit from a PHEV/BEV combo. For anyone that doesn’t have any convenient place to charge an HEV is still better than no battery option. 

As a very happy owner of a 2019 Ridgeline, I hear that all the time about the Ridge. Their arguments are that a “real truck” is body on frame and that the Ridgeline only tows 5000lbs max. The only valid point IMHO is that if you want to haul over 5000lbs you need a full sized truck... but a majority don’t use their…

100%. The Ridgeline is the truck people actually need. The F150 is the truck people actually buy. 

So it’s an actual truck—meant for getting stuff done by hauling a lot of stuff—I love it. Such a welcome sight compared to those overbearing crew-cab sedans with the exposed trunks that now pass for “trucks”.

Yeah, I sent it to them for the programming, and the oil change light came on shortly before, so I just told them to do it.

I will be doing it myself from now on, but it’s still going to be around $200 for the oil and filters. 

I just got it back from the dealer with a $1300 bill. $400 oil changes are fun. 

“Can I register a Canadian car in the States?”

Yea I probably would have retired with Mercedes at the end of the contract. Then I would just start sponsoring track days and teaching people how to race, Maybe do some F1 style Gymkhanas on Youtube, just have some fun.

Yea its tough to get a handle on these prices lately.  FWIW, I just wanted a base model so I was able to get it for the sticker of $29k-ish... and got $19k for my Kia Soul that I had paid $20,800 for two years earlier. 

Sir, your obvious and sound use of facts and logic offends! (It offends someone, I’m sure!)

Wow, did your mother invent the start/stop system?

I agree 100%. Im in a 23' Tacoma base model which I use mostly for cycling as its much easier to toss filthy bikes in the back when leaving the trails. I’d have LOVED if they made a smaller version still but I only drive about 6k miles per year so its not terrible. But those parking lots at the trails are full of…

Well said. I do not know that many, the ones I know are un or under employed. and buy all those expensive toys and then bitch about the cost of gas and groceries.

I suspect a lot of them are Trump supporters in name only. They see him as a useful idiot, who is willing to give them the fat tax breaks they like, and they see how much the real rubes flock to him. The day Trump no longer pulls a crowd, they’ll drop him.

I think it’s fairly trivial to apply all the characteristics described by 4jim and apply it to a rich guy. Just take out the part about a blue collar job and add in that everyone was paid to lick your ego but told you that you accomplished everything yourself and viola!

You are right, but the rich white men KNOW they can play the hard working blue collar folks for fools. For a great summarization of how those rich white folks manipulate the working class, GOOGLE THIS:

They were renting private planes to storm the capital. Or funding the life of a SCOTUS. 

If they had actual jobs they would not have time for this Confederate cosplay. I know too many guys like this and this is how I explain it to people:

It doesn’t say why the Merc was pulled over, but based on the paper tag still on it, and being a native Oklahoman, I can almost guarantee it’s a VERY expired dealer tag 😂
