Or the equipment was set up by a vet from a particular era. There was a period in the late 80's where the Army was insisting paperwork be dated the European way. I still date paperwork that way.

Obviously, the dude is a NJ driver at an out of state gas station. NJ residents tend to have absolutely zero clue what to do atthe pump, since we’re the only state that still bans self service gas stations.

All I can say is.... The BSG reboot they’ve been talking about for years needs to have one episode set on a planet, include some ground warfare, and use those vehicles as Cylon Raiders.

Reading fail much? Right from the beginning, it was made clear he can drive, has a UK license, but manufacturers won’t loan him a car to test drive and review in the US without a license issued here in the US. He should do a quick round of calls to find out if he can do closed circuit test drives in the US on a UK…

Some states are slowly swindling their inspection services. Here in NJ, we used to do full inspections. But that has dwindled down to just emissions. If your car is more than 25 years old, you don’t even need that - they send you an exemption letter you can stick in your glove box. It gives everyone a false sense of…

The real news here: Someone at Bloomberg has ZERO business writing business news. Rivian has been delivering van to Amazon for more than a year now. The company actually does have revenue, just not involving their pick ups as of yet.

You left out the part where the only reason Tesla uses “megacastings’ in the first place is because Sandy Munroe originally complained they were using far too many components in that section of the vehicle. Now he’s complaining the vehicles will be insurance write-offs if the results of reducing the parts count gets…

hatch glass will not function as a load bearing structure and thus cannot function as a shelf extending the cargo space out beyond a depth of what 6 or 8 inches.

I’m disappointed. Not a word about what they had to do to insulate the batteries to be functional in that kind of cold. I take my ebike out for a ride in 40 degree weather and the range drops by almost 15%. Matter of fact, I’m building an insulated battery box for use this winter.

You completely overlooked that Chevy also produced the Volt, which they cancelled two years ago. So.... with two nearly identically named vehicles in the same market segment, no surprise people are unaware.

So.... that is the weirdest way I’ve seen someone tell the world they failed 5th grade science all day long.

Agency won’t pay for the damage it did? Threaten to send it to collections. Still won’t pay? Actually sell it to a collection agency. They’ll learn real quick when the civil government overseeing them suddenly can’t arrange bond sales anymore. And selling the debt will at least get you a little of your money back.

Don’t you see? They’ve got them working in teams. So maybe one day, you’ll be able to strap them to a heavier trailer like a team of horses.

I see a failing here on the part of automakers. This thing could have been given a “follow the leader” mode, where all but one driver could be replaced. This would keep a human in the equation to unknowningly assist with the machine learning. And yeah, load and towing capacity pretty much sucks.

Once private industry gets its fangs into that infrastructure bill money, we’ll get like 3 major bridges replaced and 14 miles of highway repaved. It is a nice thought, but politicians are short-sighted morons that forget that much of the Federally funded infrastructure in this country was built at a time when the…

At a weight of less than 9 tons and a traditional 6x4 configuration, you should be able to drive this wherever dump trucks can go anywhere in the US.

Important question... Were most of these vehicles obtained before or after you encountered David Tracy for the first time? We’re just trying to determine when you were infected with his particular strain of hoarding.

That’s nothing. For years, local used car dealers have been charging “destination fees” on vehicles in my area. Seriously, you want to charge a $695 destination charge for having the car trailered from an auction yard all of 40 miles away? Or worse, $695 for a vehicle that was driven to your own damned lot as a…

A second Dale would have had to exist for it to make baby Dales with.

The proper statement would be “the rights of way are ancient”. Curves along the NE corridor are too sharp and there isn’t much that can be done to address that. Pretty much every solution involves eminent domain, which is a political hot potato thanks the the political dickery that occurred in New London, CT,…
