I think more cars like this need to be made. The range is fine. People are always equating EV and ICE range when the reality will be, once adopted, their driving habits and fueling habits would change.

Fuck these “everyman” hosts of things that have been fantastically wealthy for the majority of their lives.

How did a kid make it to AP English and not learn the skill of critical reading or reading in context. Literature isn’t only about fun stories, it takes thought to understand and gain from.

Motorcycles just amplify the risk of already risky drivers. They are not Death Traps, and most people don’t hear motorcycles anyway. When was the last time you head someone say “That car is dangerous because it doesn’t have a loud exhaust”?

I can’t understand why Tyson would agree to this. He has nothing to gain unless he just wants to punch these idiots like the rest of the world. This kind of pretend boxing is only allowed to work because we are feeding the troll brothers attention and money. Is they want to box, fine, do it and fight real boxers in…

My 2001 Audi S4. I have had it for 20 years now and will never get rid of it. 267k miles I have driven this car. I will probably die in my sunset years under this car in my garage. It’s the first car I ever bought and will be my last.

Living in the midwest, I would love to take a train from state to state. As it is now, after you figure for driving to the airport, checking in, security, delays, the flight, getting off the plane, getting out of the airport, and the cost of the flight, KC to Denver takes not a lot less than driving but cost way more.…

I would mostly agree. I found that the majority of people fostering have the best intentions. The administration is a huge problem, but so is the stigma of intervention. We had people in our training group and in the agency that would get performatively upset about the kids situation or their previous caretakers. As…

This problem with politicizing child welfare agencies isn’t limited to Texas. In state there has been repeated attempts over the years to give foster care an anti LGBT mission. Many states contract with religious groups that administer the actual placement and oversite of the kids.

How do people in hysterics over a “possible” viral threat from the young people square this info with the constant drone of, “Kids today don’t even know how to change a tire...”.

2 door, 4 cylinder, 5 speed, 2wd Toyota Tacoma. Its like the default “Truck”. it does everything fine, but nothing amazing. It has no extras of any kind, no cruise, no power locks or windows, and a frond bench that has no adjustability for lean. The thing is, it will always be there. It will haul overloaded, it will…

I have never understood the need to try and contort oneself into a category to feel superior to others. I know there are a lot if identities a person can have in this complex world, but when any one becomes the soul driving force of you, YOU are lost.

Its less about performance than about options, as any modern car is better than an 80's car. The two I used as examples are the 80s version of 3 box small or mid size car that delivers the same thing the same way to everyone no matter the one you get. People were given the same car with different amounts of body…

You know how they say there are picture you know the smell of.... Tanning oil, BO, cigarettes, and cat piss..... that is this picture...  

It’s amazing to see how far KIA has come in 15 years. It looks like a car people will get and like, but it just seems like every other EV that a company is rolling out. I get why they are all making the same kind of “car” their first EV, but it’s starting to feel like a new malaise era. They are all the same, they…

I would guess that you would have to go through the effort to take them to court. The case would be thrown out before it was even looked at by a judge and then nothing would be accomplished. The real threat here is the Anti choice clearing houses that are funded and run by groups that can afford to bring cases against…

The absolute hubris of a 23 year old trying to give out deep wisdom about life and love..... any 23 year old, let alone some one who seems to view interpersonal relationships as a zero sum game designed to be won. This goes along way to prove the old saying the ignorant are the loudest applies to attention on social…

I have twice convinced myself, “that timing belt will last JUST a bit longer, right?”. Once on a 95 Civic coupe, and once on a 2001 S4. Both ended in a road side session of self loathing. The civic got a new engine, the Audi is in process of rebuild. 

The terrible and in a way predictable idea here is just to force more culture war. That is probably the point here more than anything else. Give people an active roll in persecution and they will double down for you and turn out for you. There is no apathy or days of for those taking joy in harming others.

This turned from a discussion about a safety feature to “you can make me, freedom, I’m special and don’t need this, but what about my esoteric situation, let the non belters die, seat belts aren’t that great anyway” mess fast as I have ever seen.
