Symbols don’t need to be rationally derived, just consistent.

This is correct. My kids think 3.5 floppies are the weirdest thing ever. they’ll say things like “didn’t you used to have discs that were like, a big square, but they like, only held one gigabyte” with a sense of amazement that we would reserve for something like a hand-crank telephone. I literally explained to them…

“I don’t know how we’ll sustain the knowledge of what they used to look like.”

Counterpoint: the check-engine light is fucking great and we should never let go of it, even as we enter the EV age. It should be one of those amazing things that lives on long after its real-world counterpart dies.

Okay so...

This is design hubris.

I think it was less of GM being with Trump and the slack emissions rules and more of GM being against different states having different emissions requirements. 

“This has all been pretty head-spinning, as GM was very much friends with the Trump administration and its (attempted) slackened emissions rules until GM very much was not.”

“I also wonder how much of this is in anticipation of the Biden administration making GM do it anyway.”

Since she’s talking about public roads, definitely not that second thing. If you’re anywhere close to the limit on a public road you screwed up pretty bigly.

Two words:  situational awareness.  I wish more people had it.

This will probably get lost in the sauce here but I’ve used Reliable dozens of times shipping cars back/forth across the country for folks. They’re one of the best in the business next to InterCity Lines and the folks I’ve worked with from Reliable have been great. Kind of sucks to see them get this kind of press.

It’s a jeep thing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Metro Detroit roads have to be the worst in all of the US. I’ve driven backroads that are smoother.

That’s not how deductibles work. You’re out the deductible, whatever that amount is, on something like a damaged wheel. Additionally, tires are usually not included with comprehensive claims. Maybe you can bill the county/state for your deductible, but that’s a pain in the ass.

Plot synopsis:

The momentum is building nicely, long may it continue, the more women able to show their skills the better. W-series supporting F1 races is another example of how females in motorsport are really starting to make serious inroads, rather than just being one-off “special events”. If a few of these ladies can grab the…

I am SUPER stoked to see Simona back in an Indycar. And not just any car, but a Penske backed one.

I would have to consume an extra 127 gallons of gas a year to pay what you pay. 

Georgia charges $200/year for EV registration to “make up” for the decrease in gas tax revenues. Current gas tax in GA is $0.3515/gallon, so my break-even point would be 569 gallons of fuel annually in a comparable gasoline-powered car to my Model 3.
