I highly doubt Fox News is promoting the conspiracy theory that Elon Musk used his satellite company to steal the election. I don’t doubt that they’re playing up the conspiracies, though, to make it seem like Democrats are hypocrites when it comes to conspiratorial claims of stolen elections. Fox always has a way of…

Almost certainly foreign actors stirring these pots on both sides. It’s all about sowing dissent, mistrust and division within the country. Sadly, one of the two main political parties in the U.S. has largely benefitted from foreign disinformation campaigns up to this point and they’ve gone out of their way to ensure…

Thanks. Yeah, I find it hard to get too enthused about a car you have to drive at waaay above legal limits to enjoy. That’s why I wish you could get a 250 hp manual sedan.

Man, that car kind’a... grows on you. At first glance it looked kind’a stupid with those exposed turbos popping out of the hood, but the more I stare at it the more it takes on an ugly duckling to beautiful swan transformation and ends up at insanely cool...

Heck, my morning jog is about 2 miles. I may have walked farther in 2023 than this guy drove the car.

That was me in a 340i that I bought new because #manual...

Touché.

Got some bad news for everyone. Apparently the audio controls on the captured UFO at Area 51 are all capacitive touch, and the climate controls are buried two menus down in the touch screen. Also, it’s almost impossible to turn off traction control.

At the risk of being the 50th guy to post it... anything with one of these:

Until literally EVERY local Chamber of Commerce in the country starts screaming bloody murder when their members lose half their workforce.

Had Chambers’ fire been a bit more successful, he may well have gotten off scot-free with the cars.

They’d no sooner ban bicycles than ban ducks, quail or deer.

Indeed. Orthodox economic theory actually postulates that trade barriers are more harmful to the country erecting them than the country that’s targeted. Trump’s tariffs are going to make U.S. manufacturing less competitive, and raise prices for U.S. consumers across the board. The U.S. is going to look a lot like the…

BYD doesn’t sell its cars in a vacuum. The Chinese government has invested massively in electric charging infrastructure. The U.S. has not. Our government’s failure to embrace the inevitable EV revolution is dooming our automotive industry to irrelevance.

Trump is of the school of thought that says that the only way the U.S. becomes competitive with China in the world export market is if we turn the entire country into a toxic dump. If people’s fingernails start peeling off 10 years from now, and their hair comes out in big clumps, and their children are born with…

Building new plants is a great opportunity to invest in automation projects that didn’t quite make sense before, either because the old equipment still had life left or the Mexican labor rates didn’t justify it. So for the vehicles that do get moved to the US, fewer people will be needed to build them.

Oh, believe me. I know. I rented an MG in Cancun a couple of years ago. It was as comfortable and solidly built as any compact car I’ve driven. 

Yeah. Everything I’ve read about flood damaged cars is you don’t buy one unless your plan is to part it out.
