bottom line truth is it’s a car that priced and quality-controlled (as in sporadic) itself to oblivion. the little Scion that was barely a few inches longer had more utility, and was using lots of bog standard Toyota parts. the final nail in the coffin was the Fiat 500.

ultra clean lines, no giant wing breaking up the visuals, and top exit exhaust.

pretty much instant NP, even without AWD for this price. around here any running Volvo in good condition on the outside and reasonable on the inside, is more than this regardless of mileage.

I’d daily drive that all day long, three times on weekends. if Pontiac had sold it here at any time, like alongside the G8, I would own one by now. Only reason I don’t have a G8 is I have to do the one-vehicle thing and the G8 didn’t have the rear storage to handle the camping trips. (and am in an apartment so no…

welcome to California. where fingers are pointed at others to claim “they” are wanting a police state, while all the time its themselves working towards it, and no one cares after a few minutes of outrage because “our” Police State is okay while “theirs” is Evil

using radiator heat to boil water for distillation or to tap off for hot water is a thing most soldiers find a way to do on the battlefield since the invention of mechanized transport

even more simply: remove the automation and nanny aids so people dont rely on them. all automation will do is flood more cars, like the rise of self flying drones still almost ruins RC aircraft. Drive it or don’t. that’s the simplest solution

well duh, if you care about such plebian things like “quality” and have to ask yourself about “build quality”, you’re obviously too poor to deserve one of these! :P

even in California, the incentives here for electric motorcycles are CRAP. they’ll cut you 10 or 20K towards your high end Model X but barely squeak you $1K in a tax break on a 26K electric bike.

shouldn’t have announced the Model Y so soon?

its a lot easier to have a lot of stored or available power at corner stations with battery tech that allows real fast charging. most charge limitations are due to safety concerns (idiots and amperage don’t mix well) or available power (not enough supply current to the home). But we don’t refine our own gasoline at…

so when you have a list of potboiler allegations and you find more and more of them are either complete BS or vast misinterpretations of same, (and FFS golf cart speed has NOTHING to do with score!) its real hard to give credence to the rest of them. Unless someone really really wants them to be true and fails to…

if its just words, deal with it. there ARE a lot of asshole cyclists-both the entitled Critical Mass-hole crowd, and the “cant get a drivers license because I can’t stop drinking/drugs” to the “I’m 16 so you can’t do anything to me”. Sadly too many cyclist groups pretend that doesn’t exist. But when you ride enough,…

people failed to realize the problem wasn’t just Uber. it was the entire exploitative model. Any company deploying it, is up to bad shit

performance like a 750. Cost like a literbike, trailer and tow vehicle.

forget hillclimber. the s2k in a CRX would make a fun daily driver too.

no sh*t. anything that cuts into corporate profits or increases overhead is something to be fought. People will accuse and believe corporations are committing mass murder to save a few pennies, but then somehow think an industry united against regulations that add a few dollars to their expenses is somehow a great…

who cares where it really is? if Musk says it’s coming, even once, that’s enough for Tesla fans to claim “Tesla makes the...” See Semi, Model Y, Pickup, and Hyperloop. If you givecredit for saving the world off a couple of tweets and a piece of digital artwork, why would you need an actual product? Just harsh anyone…

dayum Grandpa got some miles on this thing!

it was men who paid more, especially before the age of 40, for decades. because we were “higher risk”. now that seems to have reversed. but pretend its some discriminatory tax now? feck ov
