you crazy, that color is *chefs kiss*

For me - as a civil engineer working in transportation - it’s our undying need to put in a traffic signal or a 4-way stop where a roundabout is really the perfect solution. Do any amount of driving in Europe outside the main city centers, and you almost never come to a stop, you just flow from roundabout to

I spent a good part of my life living in Germany and what always amazes me is how bad Americans are at driving.

Now playing

how many people really need a range rover or escalade?

Why don't more cars look like frogs?

If you want to drive on highways then you should be in favor of plans that get -commuter cars- off the road. That way there’s more room for you.

When transportation contributes a whopping 25% of all greenhouse emissions...ya, if we are going to catch this runaway train called Climate Change we need to start addressing all the elephants and hippos in the room.

I would argue its the third option of chuds defending wall street.

Even by the standards of Boston-area car dealerships, this guy is something else. For a while he was blanketing streaming services with some of the most obnoxious, cheaply made ads you can imagine, with a little emoji version of himself running around shrieking “FREE MONEY FREE MONEY FREE MONEY” while knock-off Pats

i disagree. this looks bad to me.

A place to chuck a lawnmower/bicycles/group sex accoutrements when you need it.

Ford sold me with hybrid.

It's a great way to announce that your parents were first cousins though.

I am all for the save the manuals, save the V8/10/12 movement, and can’t we have both. but my lord I hate rolling coal

E-Power isn’t exactly weird, it’s like the Honda hybrid setup without the mechanical drive, or alternatively it’s like a diesel electric loco or dump truck with added battery and regen.

This is why the right to repair is so important, also check the warranty. (and the small print).

Yep, I’ve been part of some bad unions before (Some corrupt, some overprotective), and it always saddens me to see them cheapen what is an extremely important ideal.

and then you wonder why unionization is so hard.

They also need to simplify their hybrids. The Santa Fe Hybrid has a turbocharged engine and multi-speed transmission, which really goes against the idea of hybrids being efficient and simple. Given the choice between that or the Toyota or Honda hybrid systems, it’s no contest.

Have a Niro in the household with over 50K miles on it, aside from the rough sounding switchover to the ICE motor it is a solid drivetrain.
