I’m not commenting on the oil itself just the method of transport.

If you are going to move oil a pipeline is the statistically safest way to do it.

Read that PDF, it’s very informative. They talk about the distribution of spill sizes, the average volume recovered from the spill from each source.

Follow the statistics, not your feelings.

Some about if Jalopnik won’t make it about cars we will?

You realize pipelines are something like 5.5 times less likely to cause a spill than rail transport? Plus the injuries to their workers per ton of petroleum transported is also significantly less.

I’ve slept in my car for months at a time.

You sleep in the front seat with the key in the ignition but off.

If you need to go, you need to go NOW. No getting out of a hammock.

The door tries to hit you because you’re in the wrong spot. If approach the car from the rear and stand behind the door and touch the button it’s fine. It is hard to get in and out but I did not think the doors were an issue. Sitting on the door sill and rotating in to the drivers seat is easy, getting out is not…

The tail lights alone.

I don’t think Stef has ever owned a PHEV so she’s talking out her behind. I’ve driven a Volt extensively charged only on 120v. It’s a non issue. Sure the battery was not always 100% charged but it’s not a dead breaker, who cares if my electric range is a few miles short.

There are no exterior outlets? I’m surprised.

Based on what manufacturing HR experience do you base this assertion?

Do you have absolutely zero access to an outlet? I’ve never had a problem trying to plug in a block heater while living in an apartment. This is no different.

It’s not a blanket 30% tax on everything, I don’t know how people get that idea. Actually I do,It’s that CNN told you that and you did not listen to his speeches yourself to prove otherwise.

Ford has factories and partnerships with Chinese companies to make cars in China for Chine. China gets it. They also have steep…

You’re misinformed or purposely lying.

I ran the IMDS reporting for a major brake manufacture, I know EXACTLY what materials changes take place between OE and aftermarket friction.

You’re arguing with someone who literally did this for a living.

You realize all those, especially brake materials, are rebrands themselves?

Aftermarket parts even from Motorcraft or whoever are nowhere near the same quality as the OE parts. Performance Frictions sells their material to everyone in the industry.

Who do you think designs, builds and codes the assembly lines?

You guys are all so out of touch with what actually goes on upstream of the assembly line.

Many/most of the Jalopnik readers are not actual car people. I’ve found this out many many times.

They’re actually the same, if not worse than a 20 year old Corolla with a working catalyst.

Any why did we finally get the euro Focus here? I’m setting you up here, be careful.

Dunnage is not designed to survive a crash.

I shipped hundreds of plastic injection molding tools across the country. Some weighed 150 lbs others 14,000 lbs. They’re just set in the back of the truck on pallets, no restraint. Only things on flatbeds get strapped down.

You’re making stuff up that sounds good. I’m speaking from a position of experience in the industry.

Ford NEEDS to sell the Fiesta and Focus in the US. People have been conditioned to be brand loyal creatures. When you’re 17 your parents buy you a Fiesta, at 22 you graduate college and buy a Focus. At 26-30 you’re…
