I’m not anti-union, I just think that the belief of ‘unions can do no wrong’ is a bit misguided. A friend of mine was a union rep at his shop and said the worst part of the job was defending the bad workers. He was always happy to defend the good ones.

Isn’t the old Jalopnik line “Unions are inherently good”

A friend’s dad was a machinist in the aerospace industry. He made up 4 titanium wedding bands at the shop, in case he lost one. By the time the marriage ended, he was on ring #3.

Rumor has it that the Aurus shares an engine with the Lada Niva

The journalists who piled on Toyota for focusing on hybrids instead of full EV’s are now gushing over Toyota’s performance and how focusing on hybrids was a great idea. Love it.

Smoking and drinking will do that to you.

Mobility site?

I grew up in WNY so lots of snow but close to lake Ontario so there weren’t any hills to speak of. My mother would run carbide studded snows on the front of her FWD car. It was a little monster in the snow. I am sure that if she turned sharp or were to brake hard going downhill, there could have been some issues. I

That is actually a great idea for the South. My dad used to use a set of V-Bar or “Canadian” tire chains on his 2wd truck on the farm. They are extremely agressive and pretty much offroad only as they would wreck pavement

This is a valid reason to hate the Bills. I can accept it.

Listen carefully and you can hear the sound of all the crystal ladies buying plane tickets to China.

I moved out of WNY and I miss Wegmans every day. It is the best damn grocery store in the world. Their flagship store is amazing and worth a visit if you are in the area.

That’s what I was wondering. There have been a couple of articles about this scandal but none of them mentioned what the ‘device’ was and if it was hardware or software. 

I never realized the sheer volume of umlauts used in Turkish!

What were the devices and how did they work? If there is excess NOx, is that due to the DEF system having a defeat device?

Is this the same Chevrolet that will not have Car Play or Android Auto because they can provide a ‘better’ software experience?

I’m working on it. I wasn’t complaining about not being able to vote. Just laying it out there.

I am not allowed to vote in Canada. I live here but am not a citizen. I can complain about things but can’t legally do anything about it. 

The government of Canada LIVES to make our lives ever more expensive. We already have a crisis of affordable housing, slow wage growth and now cars are going to get a lot more expensive.

Damnit. You beat me to it!
