That 5th gear with the lithium is just nonsense. There is more to mining lithium than just digging a random hole in the ground. The lithium has to be there to begin with and that and quite a few of the rare earth elements make up the mere handful of resources the US does not have any sort of abundance of.

Once you’ve got four YEARS of restoration work done on your vehicle, it should be in working order, too.

Well, that was a surprise. That firefox security certificate bug that killed most of my plugins apparently killed my browser audio support as well.

“Or are we talking about the noble invasion of Iraq, on a known lie about yellowcake and because of 9/11, despite most of the 9/11 terrorists being Saudi and Iraq having nothing to do with it?”

“From a NATO perspective a war not warranted by NATO is an illegal war. Hence, this was an illegal war.”

.... Slidell, Louisiana? So we can expect so see coverage in one of their “earlier in” or “crime of the week” segments on Live PD?

Ahhhh.... Today is a day of weird thoughts for me... I wonder if a house’s value would drop by 50% if you moved it off the lot the way a car does. :D

I think I need a few of that decal for my vehicles, too.

I am always amused to see people missing the obvious. People aren’t buying new cars because the Obama administration murdered the used car market with that whole “cash for clunkers” thing. In a nation where a substantial portion of the populace doesn’t have the money for the down payment of a financed car purchase, no…

I just want to point something out. I read the following:

Just consider the unintended punishment he will have to endure for whatever remains of his military career - for here forward, he will always be asked the question : “do you think Captain America would have ever shirked his duty to go watch a movie?” And once he moved on to the civilian sector, the question changes to…

Only idiot I saw was the one trying so hard to cheat the time limit rules by trying to squeeze in so many questions by not waiting for any answers.

Every cell phone comes with the “Do not disturb while driving” option. It’s called a power switch. As an added bonus, it reduces the power drain on the phone’s battery, too. :D

Officer: “Do you... live in this thing?”

I would take the time to figure out what all those “little trips” add up to in the course of running errands. I live in a fairly ‘small’ community covering 25 square miles. But the road network is a 300+ year old, ever-expanding mess, so that 30 miles ‘free battery range’ on the Pacifica would be sucked up in a single…

Jam that nose in there a little harder as it isn’t quite properly browned yet. You show us BS on both sides without even realizing it in your effort to prop up electric vehicles. Here, allow me to show you: “Not only are there stacks of traditional batteries to store excess energy for those low times”. Yeah, that…

Add a little Island Hoppers branding and CBS will snap it right up for their Magnum PI reboot. :D

He probably gets his armored European vehicles the same way I do - Turo.

A Camry owner is not a car enthusiast. A Camry owner is a “car I can afford” enthusiast.

Zombie Andy Rooney called the 60 minutes staff offices and demanded his undead eyebrows back. I hear he huffed quite indignantly about how dare someone put them on a car.
