I learned that taking the bus when there’s a blizzard is so much better than driving, and bus > awd+snow tires because I don’t have to deal with driving. I would rather wait in the snow and cold for a bus that’s 10 minutes late than drive to my office in a blizzard.

You ever consider that it sucks by design?

Public transit could be really nice- it’s comfortable and efficient elsewhere in the world, so why not here? Maybe because we totally starve it so that it’s unreliable and routes are limited. Perhaps if we thought of it as a utility and not a thing that should somehow pay for…

I’ve never had any dealer loyalty because in general, dealers have all been hot garbage who make the process of buying a car infinitely more difficult. I lean towards Subarus because they work for me, though I’ve never bought one from the same dealership.

HOWEVER: my mom was a saturn loyalist. Having come of age…

Honestly, I’m kinda impressed with the restraint shown in the design- that’s a pretty nice, classic-looking ship.

Oooooh my brother had one of those in highschool- the heater core blew and vomited engine coolant all over the interior of the car.

1979 Monza 2+2. I bought it in 1985, with only like 50k miles on it, making it only 6 years old and seriously under-driven when I brought it home. On the one hand, it was a really cool looking car- mine was tan and had an optional graphics package that was very stylish. looking down the hood from the driver’s seat was…

So cops have no duty to protect you from harm, no duty to enforce restraining orders, can apparently just sit idly while children are being murdered in the room next to them BUT they’ll fly across country on behalf of a rich guy? Got it.

Disagree. Indiana is pretty to drive through as long as you aren’t on I-70. Southern Indiana is gorgeous and northern Indiana is really pretty. Ditto Ohio- there’s a lot of really pretty parts as long as you aren’t on I-70.

I think it’s safe to say that I-70 is not showing the good side of any state it passes through.

Nebraska is pretty in it’s own way. I will take Nebraska over Kansas any day.

Illinois. Which is weird because Illinois is an awesome destination. Chicago is an amazing city to visit but it’s a nightmare to drive through and the maze of tollways around Chicago are no better. Then there’s I-39 where there’s nothing to see and nothing other than fast food and iron skillets on the drive.

For GMA money, I’m sure you can find custom exotic element batteries that are usually only used for some obscure purpose due to their astronomical cost but have crazy high power density to weight ratios...

All problems are easy to overcome with enough money.

Of course he can do it. It’s a goal attainable by any manufacturer, as long as price is no object. And if a sub 2,600 pound SUV is what you want to spend 1.5 million bucks on, I’m sure he can build it for you.

Carbon fiber everything for the frame and body, custom made exotic element batteries and a custom containment…

Any bumper sticker you put on your car tells criminals about you and they will use this to rob your home, steal your children and force them into satanic cults.

The price seems fine if you plan on keeping it as is and are a soundcloud hip hop enthusiast.

I’m seeing G-500s for 39k with lower miles that look like they haven’t been modded by a teenage pizza delivery guy.
No Dice.

This is like that previous meme about how a prius is worse for the environment than a Hummer, as long as you count the entire supply chain and all mineral extraction costs against the Prius, but don’t count them against the Hummer.

If you don’t believe that a group coud be so focused on someone else’s personal life, ask the LGBTQIA crowd about that. Especially the Trans community and the panic over who uses what bathroom. Straight people like to think it can’t happen to us, but well, it can.

I get not caring about burning the world, but in a Jeep? a 120k jeep?

I know, we were all being totally paranoid when we said that they were going overturn Roe V Wade, god what a bunch of alarmists we were.

Seriously though, The religious right wants to control sex. They want to make sure it’s procreational, not recreational.

This is just... insane.
“we can’t sell a sport model without chrome tips! how else will anyone know it’s a sports model?”

I miss the days of cars where they basically hid the exhaust to make it look more aero. Like the original Ford Taurus.

Why?

Why, in the face of all the climate shit we are seeing is someone building this behemoth, why would someone actually buy it... Just, Why?
