Problem is.... Big oil didn’t mislead us. The recycling industry did. The recycling industry too cheap and lazy to deal with the issue of the existence of multiple types of plastics with multiple and very different recycling methods. I do 3D printing and actually do some recycling at home - I haven’t tossed a grocery…

I use several of these to store seeds for my garden.

Just remember to direct that insanity at the right people. It is the company that cultivated that stereotype, not the drivers.

Yep. Totally optics, especially considering the fact that the USPS has been making bad news since the Reagan administration regarding fiscal shortages. Mind you, the USPS is the only agency in the government capable of funding itself and making a profit, but every time they do profit, the politicians steal that money.…

UHaul doesn’t sell them, but that doesn’t stop anyone from fabricating their own. My uncle built one to haul BOTH his cycles to at least Daytona and Sturgis every year. It has a railing down the middle for strap anchoring, a front wheel well for each bike, a storage locker for bike spares and covers and a spare tire fo…

LOL. I see you don’t realize that this was the Hummer before the Hummer even existed. The vehicle was commissioned by the West German army and was a military vehicle the first decade or two of its existence. And it easily sold to as many militaries around the globe as the HUMMWV. Then it hit the civilian vehicle…

The only thing left to do is for you media people to gang up and stop publishing Tesla’s “good news”. But keep highlighting the ugly, roof-removing truth until they learn they have to take the good and the bad.

Funny thing is, this has been off the book army knowledge and practice for decades. I did it back in the 90's in Iraq and Panama. It was a lot easier in the desert environment than the jungle. Some people make it sound like it is something new. It isn’t. They just made it official practice.

You need to read between the lines a little better. It isn’t that car makers in the US can’t make money selling cheap cars. The problem is they can’t make enough money TO SATISFY JERKWAD GREEDY SHAREHOLDERS by selling cheap cars.

This is just a simple, straightforward numbers game based around a single question: “Which will cost more, fixing the Tiguan or the divorce that will result from not fixing the Tiguan?”

Huh. David Carradine was into racing flicks for awhile there. He did this right after Death Race 2000. Then he did Safari 3000 a few years later.

You’re only partially right. Change “GOP” for “politicians” and you’ll be 100% correct, because they’re all out to screw us over for their own personal benefit and profit.

This is making me wonder how many other vehicles in the lineups have “easter eggs”, considering one of the Jeep vehicles has a map of Detroit stamped on the roof...

Yep. Something ain’t right. If You’re thinking about voting for Biden, consider these three little words: Cash for Clunkers.

LOL. Back in the late 80's, we had an international transfer student from Spain - from Barcelona to be exact. And apparently “I know nothing, I am from Barcelona” was actually a thing for them because he said it ALL THE FREAKING TIME. That’s the answer he would give no matter how simple. Ask him “what’s 2+2" and he’d…

LOL. Yep, that was my experience, too. Felt like 15 hours driving across plains, 5 minutes through the mountains and then ‘WTF is a desert doing here?’ No wonder they had almost no problem legalizing recreational pot use.

In other words, “Tesla Trucking” will fail because Elon Musk was oblivious to the need for “Tesla Nuclear Power” to meet the recharge demands, because there’s now way the grid as it exists today will every meet the demands of a relatively small number of those trucks, even if they did bring all the old coal power…

There are all sorts of solutions that haven’t been tried. Like regenerative braking on all five axles instead of just focusing on the truck being the end all, be all “locomotive”. Even your suggestion still follows that pattern - truck as locomotive, trailer as passive cargo.

If they did that, take a moment and make a wild guess about one of the first things that will be tagged by graffiti artists. Also, guess what one of the first components to be damaged by vandals or stolen by scrappers would be. Unfortunately, simple or straightforward solutions are rapidly becoming a thing of the past…

Nobody noticed. At the start of the video, you see a deroofed railcar halfway under the bridge, meaning the jerk in the locomotive backed up so he could try again instead of his lazy ass poking his head up off the back of the locomotive to see the carnage first and backing up.
