Unless they try to get away with the Bolt drive-train in a full-size truck because they were betting on swallowing Rivian’s R&D.

“GM has an industry-leading truck franchise and industry-leading electrification capabilities.”

Difference being: The car will actively beep at you incessantly to remind you to “go get the keys, stupid”. It won’t do the same for the gas pump. So, really, they’re worse.

“Can this tell if i read a text message on my lock screen or sent to my watch?”

I’d be totally fine with a phone at half that thickness. That’s still thicker than any phone I can think of. The search for ‘thinness’ has gone too far. reduce the size of components and use that extra space. I don’t want a brick, but I also don’t want a wafer.

Given how well automakers have done making their own infotainment systems. Third-Party is absolutely the right direction. For FCA, and everyone else.

I have a last-gen T&C. Utility:dollar for a primary vehicle, you can’t do much better than a 7-seat minivan that can drop the seats to haul 4x8 sheets of plywood with the doors closed. I also have heated alcantara seats, heated steering wheel, and entertainment system for the long road-trips. It may not be the poshest…

I didn’t say it was all necessarily for his safety. 

Ounce of prevention. Somebody passes out behind the wheel, and not even in a parking spot, that’s probable cause. Drugs, alcohol, or, in this case, ‘drowsy driving’ could have been involved and led to someone getting seriously hurt. Also, it could be someone having a hart attack, stroke, etc. Getting them checked out…

“We haul scrap with the truck for some extra money.... I can have it here in a just a few minutes, to save you the trip.”

1) Parked outside someone’s house at night
2) Speeding in a school zone
3) Passing out at a fuel pump

“Vaccine Transparency Advocates”. I wondered what they called themselves. Try our other flavors of batshit insular thinking:

I liked the PT Cruiser when it came out. I was also in my teens at the time. My negative reactions to it now are more a reflection of their owners. They go on shopping sprees at Autozone, and whatever stores will sell things that Autozone is too classy for. Chrome stripping, plastic scoops, fake ‘Buick vents’, flame…

Team: How much Downforce should we give it?

Tomorrow on Kinja-deals:

In Living Color!

I remember the first time I saw one of those while stationed in Japan.

Neutral: Find a way to fit a 4x8 sheet of plywood or a dirtbike in the bed, nominal offroad ability, and a reasonable price. But even the Midsize trucks struggle to meet those requirements with tiny beds and not much thought to utility, it seems.

Every time my in-laws are in town (forever stuck in the 50s Rockabilly trend): “Old is not always Vintage”. 

All sizzle and no steak.
