Ahem.....

I almost forgot... thanks to the infancy of electric vehicle support infrastructure, you also have to plan out the stops on your trip so you know you’re getting to a charge point. An ICE vehicle, you can usually just find a gas station wherever you need it. Only people who have it worse than EV drivers are those with…

This is exactly the problem. I can drive across the country in about 3 days. Even back in the 1970's, this was possible. If I tried it in an electric vehicle? Probably  would take at least twice as long and I’d probably arrive a fair bit heavier, because you know you end up snacking while waiting the better part of an…

This makes me want to keep a completely blank business card in my wallet, so when I do get asked that, I can make a show of pulling out the blank card and giving them what they ask for as if I was actually reading it off the card.

What you left out is the fact that they make so many models so they can fit into curbside parking spots all over the world. Though it seems they figured there is no reasonable way to break into the kei-car market in Japan as of yet.

Because they had no clue who the kidnapper was, they didn’t know that the cop who modeled the mask for a photo op had a head too big for the sack.

Before there was Sackhead Sam of Trick’r’Treat movie fame....

My ‘94 Honda Accord didn’t come with a tow hitch.... but it came off the lot with a socket built in to accept one. I used to haul some things around with one of those cheap-as-dirt folding utility trailers from Harbor Freight.

So.... You’re saying time travel was involved? The British Pathe video is from 1963, and this particular “outdoor life” trailer was made in 1981 and only 1981... But the video says the British manufacturer pilfered the idea from already existing products from America. So there was at least one other manufacturer here…

I think Torch has written articles about the reason why VW has trouble in China without even realizing it. Hard to compete with a vehicle you can buy for 90%+ less. I don’t think VW ever took into consideration the fact that you cannot drive around China the same way you can drive around anywhere else in the world.…

Looking at that very first photo, one has to wonder... what other vehicles does the seller have hiding in those garage bays?

Allow me to suggest that if you do this again in the future, list the generation of the platform along with the year being compared. a ‘73 Corolla was second generation, while the ‘83 was fifth gen, for example. The entire timeline spans 11 of the 12 generations for the vehicle.

This must be the flick a friend of mine keeps referring to as “A Connecticut Swamp Thing in King Arthur’s Court”

Someone is going to make a fortune simply registering the vehicles in neighboring NH, where last I checked, they didn’t even need insurance on a vehicle.

I know what you mean, I have a nephew that is a millenial and he doesn’t know how to put trash out for collection properly.

Bad news... You got scammed by the local franchise owner. I’ve been dealing with moving myself, family and friends over the last 30 years and I have never seen a $500 surcharge for a weekend rental by U-Haul, including a weekend rental last November. Worst I’ve seen is an extra day of fees tacked on, and even then, it…

There is nothing in the water. I’ve been living in South Jersey for 40 years. Mt. Laurel and a few other towns up that way had long standing reputations for being “white and wealthy”. If you weren’t white, you got shit on. If you didn’t drive “German precision engineering, Italian speed, or British luxury,” you got…

Just wanted to take a moment and point out that they apparently have at least 4 different body styles as the 2022 automotive season approaches. They added on that looks a lot like a Cooper Mini and a narrow body model. They also now do several types of electric rickshaw, including a flatbed hauler and a fully enclosed…

As someone who lost a spouse to a drunk driver more than 30 years ago, I have to say this is truly ridiculous. The originating incident demonstrates most of what you need to do to throw a wrench into the law - just show up to buy gas without a car. How do you prove that gas is going to end up in a car instead of a…

Why was “nuclear waste shipment container” left out of the cargo possibilities? :D
