Uh, where do you get 70?

Thank god someone finally made a controllable, comfy 700hp truck. I mean, sure, it’s going to be 70 in Wisconsin in November this week but thank god for that 700hp comfy, controllable truck. The west is burning up faster than it can grow back, Florida is getting hit with bigger and bigger storm surges but finally,…

I don’t mean to sound harsh, it’s just that projects like this are bullshit. It’s easy to build a $3,000,000 car. Because you have no limitations and you can do whatever you want. I’m no longer impressed by these things because you can’t push the envelope if there is effectively no envelope to push.

I knew a guy who had one of those, took it to the dealership and had the holes for the front licence plate removed because in Wisconsin, he was able to convince the DMV that since it didn’t have holes he didn’t have to have a front license plate.

The Chevy Monza I had in high school was an absolutely gorgeous car- the lines were so pretty, that front end was sooo cool to look out over. Just a really beautiful little car. Probably one of the prettiest cars GM has ever designed.

I’m sorry but I just can’t. This is the dumbest idea in the history of stupidly expensive cars. I haven’t had a visceral reaction like this to something in a long time, but this thing just makes me angry. Angry that it exists. Angry that almost a billion dollars will be spent buying these useless things, angry at the…

It was, but that was also part of it’s... charm? It was a very basic, very utilitarian little box.

Because there are a lot of folks like me who don’t really need an open bed but do want a cargo area that’s easy to sweep out. Side note: why does my Outback have a carpeted floor in the cargo area? Why does it have a soft fabric easily scratched and snagged headliner? That’s what was great about the Element- throw in…

To be fair, my friends who had babies and Elements said the doors were not great for getting kids in and out.

100% disagree. “Lack of power” is just the acceptable answer. It didn’t sell because it looks like a minivan and it does not in any way shape or form look cool, overlander-y or butch. And sadly, most American men don’t have big enough balls to drive something that doesn’t look butch. It’s got a smiley front end, it…

I mean, it has the same suicide doors as a Honda Element so technically not a 2 door.

But, and I say this with all due respect, Pontiacs were all horrible plastic covered garbage. Also, 100% agree on the solstice, I think it and it’s saturn doppelgänger were the prettiest convertible made in the last 20 years.

I have a friend who swears by them but he’s also had 2 engines self destruct... but even with that he still loves them- that’s a big statement.

I didn’t get e-bikes until someone lent me one just for a quick ride- with the system off, it felt like a 50 pound MTB. Turn it to level one, and the weight goes away. Level 2 and it’s like you’re having one of those perfect rides where your legs just feel unstoppable. Level 3 and you realize this must be what it…

I mean, Putin did invade Ukraine and that did cause massive disruptions to food (because Ukraine makes a LOT of food), fuel (because Russia supplied a lot of oil and natural gas) Supply chain (as most companies pulled out of Russia which caused all sorts of global issues) but yeah, it’s all Biden’s fault.

I look at the fact that the Trump administration opened up more lands for oil exploration and exploitation than anyone in recent history and the industry response was... crickets. No one wanted them.

Umm, we do produce our own diesel. It’s just that all those diesel plants decided that now is the time to do their maintenance. And we do produce our own oil. And we get the bulk of our imported oil from Canada. We are not dependent on the saudis. We get more oil from mexico than from saudi arabia. In fact, we used to…

Yeah, because the Biden administration forced Russia to invade Ukraine and then forced all the refineries into maintenance mode.

So, correct me if I’m reading this wrong, but the low supply is because plants are offline for maintenance, and because Russia decided to make themselves a pariah state, right?

The Honda Element. It was the perfect sport-utility vehicle with the emphasis squarely on utility. A flat floor and low load height meant you could fit things in the Element that wouldn’t fit in a suburban. Fit 2 mountain bikes, your girlfriend, all your camping gear for a week and a dog in it comfortably. Bags of…
