Ym, you can’t impose a tariff on goods from Mexico (or Canada): such a tariff is illegal under NAFTA (North America Free Trade Zone).

And only in a court of law.

“Think about a bike – those higher numbered gears make pedaling effort easier.”

I’ve bought five or six sets of General Altimax RT43 tires for my family’s cars. In our 2011 and 2012 Fiestas, they were a big step up from the Hankook OEMs. But I’ve got to tell you, the Hankook OEMs that came on my 2019 Fiesta ST Line rival the Generals in all respects.

The Mazda 3 was my favorite small car years ago, when it weighed about 2600 pounds. But over the years, it grew and grew, ceasing to be a pocket rocket. A 2023 Mazda 3 weighs 3,088 to 3,391 lbs. No wonder Mazda offers it with a 2.5L engine. I’ll keep my 2,550-pound 2019 Ford Fiesta, which gets me 37 mpg in mixed…

Every ebike review should state whether the battery (not just each cell) is safety-certified, and by whom.

When I tried to install it, Google Play Store reported, “This app is not compatible with any of your devices.” Three of my devices use Android 7 or 8. But the fourth—the Samsung Tab S4 I’m typing on now—uses Android 10.

1999 Honda Insight. I’ve bougjt three green-colored cars. But when I look at this one, I feel nauseated.

“In previous years, total U.S. car loans were split at around 59/41, with the bigger number going to used cars.”

In the 1980s or 90s, a U.S. car magazine found a note in the glove compartment of a U.S. car they had been provided for review. In the note, a manager was instructing his prep team how to rig the car to earn a more favorable review. He was outed in the review. I forget the mag, make, and model.

To be fair, most of these models aren't trucks; they're truhhhks.

In other words, lie.

Here’s what I face:
ME: “Boss, I don’t think we can meet this deadline by taking turns editing the document. May I please host the document in the Microsoft cloud so the four of us can all write, edit, and format the file at the same time?”
BOSS: “I dunno, Paul. I don’t quite trust the cloud. Is it secure?”
ME: “Is it…

Fine.

Later that day, the WSJ author was interviewed on Marketplace:

“Kloss claimed that Perry pulled his pants down during a party in 2010." I don’t believe him: She’s never done that to me.

I must be the PowerShift’s one-man fan club. I’ve bought three green Fiesta hatchbacks: a used 2011 SE for my daughter in 2012, a used 2011 SES for me in 2013, and a 2019 ST Line for me in 2019. My daughter’s SE never overcame its lurching, and Ford wouldn’t fix it. But Ford fixed my 2011 PowerShift to my satisfaction…

This is exactly why I refuse to trade my Ford Fiesta for an Infiniti Q50.

Could owners of certain cars be more likely to leave their keys in the ignition when they pop into the convenience store?

Two weeks ago, I bought a Fiesta ST Line. I’m just waiting for some pissed-off Owner of a Fiesta ST to slash my tires for stealing his car’s look and trading on his car’s good name.
