Neutral: I’m so tired of the bloggers here that constantly bemoan the folks who successfully make a nice life and living for themselves. It most always comes from Shilling and Orlove. I’m sorry that the majority of us who come here, hoping to READ ABOUT CARS, are mostly successful folk who don’t live in either NYC or…

This post takes two different directions and doesn’t fully address either of them. One, I fail to see how fining the shipping companies is going to resolve the problems with the bottleneck in the trucking and dockworker side of the equation.
Secondly, the part about clearing the ports of empty containers with the…

Hertz renting Teslas, to a majority of folks who likely aren’t yet familiar with EV’s, and aren’t into a routine of charging or knowing where the charging stations are, in an area that is likely unfamiliar to them anyway (assuming 90% renting for vacation or biz travel). Yeah, that seems like a recipe for disaster.

Only the coved side with the two-tone paint.  That one feature pulls the eye as a similarity, but otherwise I see nothing else that they share.

I’m glad you’re keeping up with this story. However, the constant use of Facebook posts as journalistic source, is something I struggle with. I’m not that old at all (44), and yet my thinking and willingness to accept this... is so, “old school”.
Also, this hasn’t garnered near enough attention in the local Houston…

While I know he owns/owned a VW Bug, he hasn’t written about it in a long time. Preferring to write about his bike projects, or how GM is bad, and only “phoning it in” on the actual automotive blogging.  Seems he basically writes about whatever talking points have been sent to him in press packets. Raph seems like a…

Agreed, they need to dispatch Tracy there to do a full tour and write-up.

This right here.

Can confirm GMC trucks and large SUV’s are a hot ticket right now. I bought a 2021 Yukon XL in Denali trim back in March, and have continued to see a plethora of brand new GMC trucks and SUV plying the roads around the Houston suburbs.  They are everywhere, and really are a beautiful vehicle, seemingly much preferred…

Henry Ford also said there was no need to change or update the Model T, as it was all anyone should ever want or need.

Well, what do you expect from a guy who focuses more on his bike each day, instead of his paying job, at an AUTOMOTIVE blog.

I’m sorry, but the 2nd Gen V is where it’s at.  First gen was a great car to get the ball rolling, but the V2 is much more polished.  ND.

I’m surprised the Houston news stations haven’t blown this up already. Jalopnik is the only place I keep hearing about it. If you’re going to follow the story through to it’s completion, then please interview the BikeLaw firm, and PLEASE, keep Shilling and Raph away from this story.

In some parts of Texas, yes. However, distance cycling, and the regular training for it (often early Saturday mornings), is a pretty big thing in the overall Houston metro area. Groups such as this are a common occurrence riding through the Waller County area. I live and work just south of there, and see them all the…

May be advertised as an “old persons” ride, simply because it’s a Buick, but let’s be honest here, any vehicle trimmed out this way... has been rolling that Ghetto Fabulous life.

Le sigh.

Every tank has a containment berm around them. The leak was caught early.  They’ll clean it up. Why is this the lead post when I open Jalopnik this morning?

My 9 and 13 year old kids would beg to differ.  They absolutely love the original Batman movie from 1966.

So tired of reading Oil & Gas bad, electric good. You realize that fossil fuels, as far as automotive fuel use is concerned, is only a small piece of the fossil fuel pie. Not everyone has or needs a car, but every person on earth drinks from a plastic milk jug/water bottle/etc.., and everyone carries either a purse,…

This could go either way.
Is it a nice price, in what I’d call normal times, for an aging land yacht, probably not. Something generic, at that age, is probably worth $3500 max. However, in the current market with used inventories what they are, this is likely a NP and I wouldn’t feel too bad about it.   I’d still…
