I had this bizarre ranty conversation at Christmas with my partner’s very conservative father, where he was angrily talking about how “liberals” like us want Trump to fail. And I tried to explain to him that we desperately don’t want Trump to fail, but he’s never given anyone a shred of evidence that he has any…

Wait...for decades of combustion-powered automobiles, 0-60 times were everything. It’s the primary stat the entire automotive publishing industry was built upon. But with battery-powered cars we’re now suddenly not supposed to care?

Except that I’ve found the Republicans hardly ever make the correct practical (or at least moral) decision, IMO. I say this not as a defense of the Democrats (I really can’t stand either party), but simply because the Republicans have shifted the political discussion so far to the right on every issue as to become…

Except there are 13 other states who have adopted California emissions standards for new cars. So there is actually 14 states requiring those CARB mandated designs.

You’re correct, we’re hoping that your side doesn’t fulfill all of its stated potential to destroy this country and our environment and hard fought civil rights over the next 4 years. And the hubris is all the more misplaced given that your candidate lost the popular vote by nearly 3 million and is only in power due…

The Republicans are always pounding their fists screaming “States Rights!” whenever they want to limit a group’s civil rights, or impose state religion or limit reasonable access to birth control (to name just a few issues). Trying to neuter CARB would only expose their hypocrisy.

The snowflakes *need* hope right now because that’s all they’ve got ... I guess they will have to sign petitions like they always do.

Unfortunately, I’m pretty sure the new administration isn’t willing to take “FOOLISH” off the table as an option.

The US government can’t afford to let California go anywhere. They are one of just 14 states that can pay their own bills while contributing an excess to the Federal government. While they do not have the best debit credit ratio of those 14 states, their cash contribution is the largest.

It’s funny how many supposed republicans are for states rights, except when the states want to do something they don’t like.

GM killed even more. What’s your point?

I’m sorry no one took the time to teach you how to drive a manual.

That soul-sucking you feel is their use of “literally the first sans-serif font in Word” for their banners.

I’ve done trade shows all over the world for a long time, and it’s been getting worse and worse for the Chinese vendors. In the 90s/early 2000s it was a way for the company owners to take their mistress/secretary abroad for a few days of worry-free sex, booze, and shopping.

Are you sure you weren’t in a Kmart?

Sad! That’s what happens when you fake global warming.

This just looks like the aftermarket section at Pep Boys, but with different writing on the tops of the shelves...

I have admin powers on Foxtrot Alpha. I could ban you and every other misgendering commenter. Including the responses so far to my comment. And make it a “safe space.”

I wish Chelsea had gone about things in a slightly different way, but fundamentally I see her as a whistle blower and not a traitor. I’m sure it was too politically risky to do this before the election, but I’m glad it happened before Obama left.

Yes, but not very jalop. We get more excited over a clean 90's Chevy Cavalier RS or equally clean Citroën 2CV over some doucher in a LaFerrari
