Actually, Don Cheadle will take over from Terrence Howard after the first season.

Imagine if buying a computer or phone was like that. “Here, I know you just picked out all of the parts and options exactly as you wanted, but now you have to choose one of these local stores that has almost what you want in stock but not exactly, and it might cost slightly different but you really won’t know until…

HBO Max’s ‘same day in theaters w/ no extra charge’ has been such a game changer in my eyes I’m considerably less concerned about when I can go back to theaters, and been recently thinking about how I can upgrade my own home theatre to add extra sparkle. My cabinets don’t charge me $9 for a popcorn.

Timing chain guides on my 540 wagon.

My 1992 BMW 525i/5 needs a new clutch soon-ish... at 277k miles on the original clutch, it’s starting to feel bad and shudders sometimes. I’m not necessarily dreading that job, more so just waiting until I have space at my shop to throw my car on the lift and bang it out in a couple hours.

When I did automation, my bosses’ boss, the engineering manager, told us how he and his wife saw Basic Instinct with her parents when they were just dating.

I got two:

Most general contractors, plumbers, and HVAC businesses and tradesmen I’ve seen have switched from pickups to vans. Same with deliveries. I think vans have found a useful niche in the automotive landscape. Not to mention the ever-so popular #vanlife movement.

If a truck buyer honestly defends their purchase, I think most of us would move on with life. The problem is the truck buyers who are defending their God-given right to do whatever they want with no regard for the society they exist within and impact. This is not about trucks; it is about selfishness.

Exactly. Most people in the USA just buy stuff because they want it, and that’s the hallmark of an overprivileged society.

I think it’s a bit weird that anytime this debate comes up, truck drivers feel the need to come in here and defend their buying decision. Like anyone cares.

Is a truck an appropriate purchase for the majority of people that buy them?

Did you read the article or just skip it to post that?

I also remember the whole Bill Gates bad, Steve Jobs good thing too, despite it being the inverse.

If the idea is everyone and your dog and your neighbor’s dog should have an EV, great, but the governments of the world have done next to nothing to help drive infrastructure. It’s been all private. That needs to change immediately.
