NOPE. Deforestation for housing is trivial. Deforestation for bio-fuels (due to biofuel mandates) is huge, followed closely by food production.

That’s giving them too much credit. They just swat at the flappy thingy on the column (or give the big radio dial thingy a spin) and let it lurch. Repeat step 1 if it lurches in the direction they don’t want to go.
Not to mention a fairly mundane powertrain. The Lexus V8 specs are nearly the same as the new RWD Explorer’s base 4-cylinder. And the Lexus still has a 6 speed auto, so crawl ratios won’t be that far off even though the Explorer lacks a low range. The hybrid version might even offer more torque at crawl speeds.
Well, it kinda does. At least until the national grid is 100% renewable. A kilowatt of renewable energy, even if “allocated” from renewable energy, will still result in a kilowatt of carbon-based power production somewhere on the grid. The only exception might be in the PNW, where spring and summer hydro/wind/solar pro…
Yeah, but not to unmodified rigs under warranty. It’s caused by either worn parts, or changing the geometry with a lift kit that doesn’t compensate for lost caster.
I suspect the union reported wages are loaded labor rates, which include insurance, retirement etc.
But this time instead of balloon loans on homes, we have balloon loans on cars. AKA “flex payments”. I wonder how many of those flex-pay buys are real estate agents? Or Uber drivers?!?!
To add to your list, I’d like to see low-speed autonomous neighborhood mini-buses, to provide last-mile transit connections. I feel like that’s the currently the largest barrier to broader transit use in the suburbs.
I think those were just shipping pieces, to secure manufacturing tooling during transport. Somebody just fished them out of the dumpster. Bumper pieces are generally extruded tube, not plate. And all Ford pickups have real metal bumpers, not plastic covers.
Yeah, the torque management can be super intrusive. I think it may be more for emissions than anything, because Sport mode completely takes it away. The transmission is plenty robust, and if they were worried about the PTU, they’d dial down the rear torque bias when you mash the pedal.
That $100/year is pretty easy to save on discounts. I think the savings just using my card at Napa nearly covers the premium, and sometimes make it back on a single hotel stay.
State Farm covers about the same as AAA basic, which mean in-town tows only, or back to the town of the nearest service provider. AAA+ tows you 100 miles in the direction you want to go, which State Farm most certainly will not cover. That said, State Farm doesn’t really have limits on winch-out, while AAA limits the…
This. The OP should be looking at something affordable and reliable. Like maybe a 2010's Honda Accord. Oh wait.... Seriously though. I see this scenario a lot. New guy buys new car with new salary. Promptly gets laid off due do downsizing or performance issues.
They have. Panera’s in Oregon, and some Starbucks, already have charging stations. Actually so do some Chevrons in the Portland area.
Belts are only supposed to hold up pants. Not bellies. Overweight humans have crated this new body type where both their bellies and butts have been bisected because they refuse to wear the appropriate pant-waist or belt size.

This is my favorite steam engine vid. Not only is SP4449 running unassisted at speed, through the Columbia River Gorge, the drone pilot did some amazing flying to get such good footage.

It’s actually a thing here too. Minus the bowling, but they still run into things!
But Jeepneys are not buses. They’re really Willy’s Jeep stretch limos. Front engine, RWD. But most of them by now run Japanese (Isuzu & UD mostly) cabover truck powertrains, so there often is a bunch of moving parts around to make work.
