I can confirm. It was a hell of a thing. I miss that car…...

He has a great PR machine, and has certainly taken advantage of proselytizers in the environmental movement. But he is still the PT Barnum of this generation.

Charley rides 'neath the streets of Boston to this day....

The best part of the Paris Metro was that the old cars used to have passenger operated doors that could be opened while the train was moving (they closed pneumatically before the train left the station, but then the pressure would be released a few seconds after). Of course that was the 1970's…..

What will happen to the convertible? That is what is currently selling the old platform….

The chip on his shoulder is the size of the Empire State Building, and his analysis should be taken with healthy doses of salt. But there are other opinions beyond "GM hired a woman, and I'm itching for a fight".

Another perspective:

It isn't, though some people desperately want it to be.

Perfectly said.

This was not the droid I was looking for…..

As this is Jalopnik, someone should point out that modern intake filters remove particulate matter to ISO 5011 standards (before they get too clogged to be effective) which means .001 micrometers. Gasoline cars emit out their tailpipes very few particulates these days (mainly NOX), and Diesels a bit more (including…

At this point the cars are actually cleaning the air as they pass through it. The problem is really three-fold: Factories (but that's improving), coal-fired power plants (the Chinese are building a new one of those a week), and individuals using ancient coal and charcoal heating and cooking methods. 14 million is a…

"See, the whole notion of grid girls is a bit problematic." No it's not. Maybe for you, personally - but that's no one else's problem.

I have done some of those things, and it was wrong of me to do so. There is an argument to be made that we as a society to decriminalize petty theft - make it perfectly 'legal' to take something that isn't yours if the value of said thing is under a certain amount. But ethicists would throw a fit, and there's nothing…

May the earth be permitted four-door trucks (such as Raptors)? The puny extended-cab doors are not worthy, and yet one must occasionally take friends along in one's work truck.

Actually Zac (Estrada), this story in no way "makes the case for public charging stations stronger." This is not only terrible logic, awful economics, and horrific moral standards, but is also a really crappy way to end the article.

The part of Estrada's editorial that bothered me was his last line: "This is an absurd arrest that makes the case for public charging stations stronger." It is this attitude to which I relied "Stuff isn't free." There are far too many people, Estrada included apparently, who think things should be given to people for…

You conflate 'punishment' with 'crime'. They are two different things, and I'm not advocating any punishment at all, only that what he did was wrong. If I ever speed (not that I ever have, tickets not withstanding) I would know I was doing something wrong. Also, if someone speeds they are not taking something from…

I completely get that your argument is that the 'punishment' does not fit the 'crime'. I'm with you on that. My post was simply to point out that a great many people don't think he did anything wrong (see some of the other responses to me on this thread). I contend he did. I don't want this guy punished at all, but I…
