The shuttle program had the unintended effect of making space travel look “ easy”. I am old enough to remember when the first shuttle launched. I was at my grandmother’s house. It was amazing. Like a REAL spaceship that didn’t look like a coffee can going into orbit. The enthusiasm was over the top initially. Hell- I… Read more

They’re too busy putting people in jail for going over the speed limit.
The coal-burning power plants in WV are owned by the same people that own Joe Manchin.
Low income workers normally buy new cars?
Ah, the PT Cruiser drop top, the indisputably worst convertible in recent memory. I truly, genuinely hate these things. Read more
Controllable wiper speed. Without it’s full blast or nothing.
I’m inclined to say VW getting caught over its diesel cheating has been more impactful

Subscriptions work for things like Spotify and Netflix because you are continually getting access to new content (added value) in exchange for your money. That’s not the case for your seat heater or remote starter. Read more
My dad had a saying when I was younger: If you keep repeating it long enough it will happen. Trump was a one-term president because he was the single most despised and hated president in US history. Sure- his base thought he was their second coming of Jesus. But just remember- his base was never big enough to win an… Read more
Indeed as stated by Chris Harris in new Top Gear (latest season in the UK) buying a new EV right now is a bit like buying a PC in the 90's it feels like it is going to be obsolete in 6 months. That is of course if the updated battery tech is not retrofittable.
Oh I understand its a whole experience. It’s going to take awhile for those of us that love driving to get used to the numbness of an EV. Who doesn’t love the sound of a Hemi? But my point is that at the end of the day its about the environment. None of the experience or anything matters if you don’t have planet to… Read more
It’s tiring to repeat this on every article of this type, but Americans don’t want to buy small, stripped out, slow cars. Read more
The profits are not that high. His net worth is in the stocks. So your point makes very little sense.
No, direct sales just cut the useless (and I do mean utterly fucking useless) middleman out of the equation. Much better for the profits to go to those actually responsible for the product rather than some fucking leech.

New car prices are up 12% over the year. That’s an *average* of $4,872. What that means is that cars that aren’t in demand are seeing little to no increases, where cars in high demand are seeing much higher increases. Read more
Modded Teslas are cool, but I’m here all day for this kind of beautiful blasphemy:
When you realize that Dodge is fully committed to the conversion of the ICE performance model into an electrified doppelganger of itself, then this all makes sense. As to the vulgarity? I’m definitely a fan. So sue me.
Now that is a bad design... sounds just about right for a VW/Audi.
Well put. The “find another one for this price” is another bullshit argument to rationalize over paying for something. We see that comment everyday. Still does not justify a dumb ass price or opinion on the value of the offered car. Dumb shit values do not equal a good deal or buy.
