Why do cars weigh so much now? If this car is known for lightness, consider the following:

It’s pretty bad. My 1972 Mercedes 220d is a 2.2l NA indirect diesel. 60 HP and 120 lb. ft. 20 years later and turbo’ed, it should be better.

*your

Those links you provide have no citations, and they themselves cite only tax credits related to developing new sources and wells. Furthermore, you’re forgetting that any revenue not gained in the initial tax grab is recouped 1000x in Fuel taxes (averaging $0.48/gallon), FICA/income taxes of workers, taxes of companies…

We really have to figure out how to start getting those birthday checks though.

I understand if you don’t agree with their politics, but your headline is way off base. They merely suggested that the government shouldn’t be using taxpayer funded subsidies to buoy up the electric car market artificially. Additionally, “Big Oil” isn’t subsidized, they receive the exact same tax credits for investing…

I too share the last name, also no million dollar check. I also pronounce it differently, as “Cook” because that’s what it means in german. I promise you all though, every single attendance call in every class of my life made my teachers illiterate, as they invariably would read the name as “cock.” Eventually, I came…

I see a stretch of road like that, and my mind immediately goes: “check for cops, then WOT for 7 miles! woohoo!”

None, zero. I don’t know how else to explain it to you, the Russians shouldn’t be there at all. What they’re doing is horrible. I was merely pointing out the stupidity of the rest of the world pointing at this and saying “gee, that’s bad” while ignoring everything else. It’s all bad. period.

Terrorism can’t really be stopped, period. It can only be contained or limited in scope. Those who are willing to sacrifice their own lives and who hold rules of society meaningless will always be able to create acts of atrocity.

No, the afghans fighting as if they had nothing to lose caused the soviets to lose. They really didn’t have anything to lose, and we were busy shunting them proxy supplies via the CIA. I do not endorse starting wars, they are horrible. If you are fighting for your life, however, you pull out all the stops.

I can too hate war. I totally condemn what I’m seeing above, it’s absolutely horrible. My point was that there’s all this pseudo-righteous finger pointing at one side or another that “they’re being mean, and hurting innocent people.” Well, no shit, it’s a war. I don’t understand why people expect war to be civil and…

Real war has no rules. You fight dirty, with overwhelming force and indiscriminate horror until those you fight either surrender unconditionally or are all dead. These hamstrung pr campaigns we’ve been doing for 60 years haven’t turned out so well, have they? I personally hate war, but I hate half-assed politically…

This being in bavaria, those responsible will be fined 100 euros for each human death, and imprisoned 10 years for every tree that was hurt.

Too bad the lady filming is having a seizure.

I think your expectations are a bit too high for technology used A Long Time Ago (in a galaxy far, far away).

I really like it. I am somewhat internally conflicted about liking a Buick so much.. It may mean I’m really finally getting old, but that’s slick.

Why anybody would ever want to live in that shithole is beyond me. Where I live, a bad commute means slowing down to 45, and parking is free.

Wow, you guys are waaaay pickier than I am. If somebody dropped off a horrible car for free, I’d happily rock that crapbox until it died, or make my teenagers drive it. Worst case scenario, chumpcar.

I live in WA, you remember what road that is?
