Without even stepping near it, I can tell you that the fabric bits leak, the camper part squeaks like an army of angry mice and the soundproofing from the engine that’s basically right next to your leg was never good to begin with. at $3000, it officially becomes more expensive than it is worth and even then, you are…

Was it the price that was too high, or was it the people who designed the exterior that were too high? Because with half a century of actually elegant, rugged wagoneers to draw on, with a brand that is locked into its own traditions like star wars fanboys arguing cannon, y’all created an uglier escalade.

We are entering an age (god I hope it’s only 4 years but who knows) of (royal) court politics- whoever has the shiniest keys to jingle in front of the Dauphin will get the most attention, and being able to blame our horribly mismanaged problems on something distracting will become paramount. 

As I’ve said elsewhere, one of the biggest DEI gains was for the elderly- age discrimination in workplaces is a lot harder thanks to DEI, because including (inclusive) elderly (diverse) workers and making accommodations for them (equity) makes our workplaces better and makes us more stable as a society.

It’s going to be tragic hilarious when all the aging boomers suddenly find that DEI includes hiring protections for the elderly, workplace accommodations for the elderly and communication accommodations for the elderly (diversity, equity and inclusion is most often for age, not race). Oh, sorry, you’re too old. You…

Except deloreans were cool- they looked awesome and everyone wanted them to be these performance monsters that they were not. I honestly don’t think the incelcamino has ever had the same cool factor. Also John Delorean went down selling coke to prop up his business. Elon musk is just going down on a 78 year old fat…

The thing with the element was, the people who loved it, LOVED it. My favorite moment where I really understood the love was getting a delivery from a printer to take to a trade show. We had rented an escalade, which was at the time the longest vehicle available. the delivery fit inside the printer’s element. Id did…

Same reason Moog jammed a Honda Vtec into an original body mini. Are there easier ways to do it? sure. But who wants to watch sensible car mods?

Honda stopped making the Element because, as they put it, “Everyone who wants one now has one.”

When I first saw the picture I thought, “Oh cool, Ford is doing a smaller bronco.” Then I saw the jeep stuff.

Sadly, after reading a few books about operation paperclip, yeah, a lot of them did. Including Von Braun, who used slave labor at Peenemünde and used it very much like a renewable resource.

Even if you were alive then, there’s nothing you could have done to stop it and the vicious cycle it created- things are cheaper because they’re made overseas which is important because the jobs to make those things here no longer exist and thus we need cheap things instead of the things we bought at prices that…

Well, we were 100% ok with it when it was textiles and literally everything else. The big difference here is that there is no American company that’s making money off it. 

And Werner Von Braun was just a pawn of the German government, and not at all responsible for how his rockets were used... Again, we will bend over backwards to justify the products of ex-nazis... 

That’s because we loooooove to outsource our programming to places with cheap labor and just like everything else, there’s no way that could ever bite us in the ass.

That’s because there’s every reason to believe that a wrecked GT-R can be made to function again by a determined (and talented) amateur mechanic with a decent set of tools and a heated garage.

Did you notice how many made up stories you saw from liberal lawmakers about how the Appalachian hurricane disaster probably did more good than harm and probably set those inbred hilljack moonshinin’ confederates back in their places? Or how Biden took the opportunity to talk shit about his political enemies in the…

Anyone ever notice how this really only happens with Asian products? (also, I noticed they tossed in Russian cars here to stop the overwhelming flow of... what, exactly?)

My only quibble is that they’re still happy to sell everyone else their fossil fuels, just no longer using it themselves. Which feels a bit... hypocritical. Then again the US has led the field for years in selling other folks the shit we’d no longer use ourselves so I guess it evens out. 

Here’s the thing: if you need a drink to fly, you should not be flying.
