“... and now over to Chip Shortage for what’s happening in sports...”

Not a boomer, also not particularly conservative, if also no shrub hugger. My degrees have nothing at all to do with what I do for a living, and I too am still paying off my student loans 25 years into my career (fun!).

“You kids do you.”

I can acknowledge the advantages I have and understand that not everyone is so fortunate. It is unfortunate that you, and so many like you, cannot. 

I enjoy the career that I put a LOT of time and energy into being highly qualified for. I never expected to get a McJob with no qualifications other than having a driver’s license and have it to be lucrative and satisfying.

Take a shitty job, win stupid prizes? Is that how that goes?

Skills: can make a huge impact in a short period of time.

Reminds me of this fun one:

I bet they gave him a stern torquing to.

Elon Musk is a genius, but he is also a f*cking sociopath, and it’s about time we start treating him like it the danger to society he is.

Bold move stating you want an automatic on an autoblog.

This car is epically good looking. Suspect these will hold value very well.

The transmission for the current GT and Ecoboost is the Getrag MT82-D4.

That green is amazing. I see a bullitt semi-regularly where I live, and it’s treat every time.

How about Lexus re-imagines its styling so it doesnt look like a 5 year old with an anime fetish.

And FCA will keep Tesla going by buying up all their emission credits.  Win-win?

It’s that last part that’s the most fascinating: the Hellcat’s days are numbered, not because consumers don’t want them, but it’ll come down to those engines being regulated out of existence.

It just means you still need to watch Spaceballs. 

Surely most of the really fast EVs that currently exist are already traction-limited. I mean, a Model S Plaid will do 0-60 in two seconds. At what point do people just stop caring about 0-60 times for EVs? It just seems like a bit of a party trick that you might try out on a track three or four times (if that) and…

no, they die from being affixed to the snow

That’s the main difference. Foxconn only does assembly, no development. Hyundai does both development and assembly, so the “Apple” car would never really be anything but a nice Hyundai product with an Apple UX and logo on it, but not under Hyundai control.
