Great car but like so many others from so many different brands, I never understood why the Bolt didn’t become a viable sub brand for GM, there should have been Bolt commercial vehicles, Bolt vans, Bolts with AWD etc ... etc ...

Move to a bigger place where my human rights will be violated, just to save some money? No thanks

When I’m in a traffic jam I try to look at the brake lights 2 cars ahead. Can’t do that if you can’t see through the car in front of you.

Nope. Even a cheap mansion couldn’t tempt me to live in a state where my rights as a queer person are being actively stripped away.

Countercounterpoint: You’d be stupid to assume that people won’t do it because they shouldn’t do it.

Counterpoint: They shouldn’t be following you so fucking close anyways for rear end crashes.

I’ll take “States you don’t want to live in” for $1000, Alex.

this article only proves that LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION.

Exactly. There is no other choice for the elderly outside a of very few cities with public transport.

the saddest thing is that what a 80 yo person is supposed to do when there are no alternatives to driving, it’s basically impossible to live an autonomous life without a car for most of the country

Manufacturers, is it really that hard to make car paint that isnt just shades of grey, red and blue? Where are the greens? The Oranges?

“Left wing Commies” You don’t know what any of those words mean.

I just wasted a whole morning getting a safety inspection done (my usual place was unexpectedly closed) and I’ve had nonsense in the past from shady shops (NY), but overall I still support it for the same reason you said.  There needs to be some standard of road worthiness.  Maybe the German TUV is overkill, but…

To me the videos are proof that comprehensive state inspections are a good thing. None of the cars in those videos have Massachusetts plates and there is a reason. If I have a wheel bearing with even a little bit of wobble it’ll get an reject. Check engine light anytime in the last 100 miles? Reject. extensive rust on…

If anyone else is interested, Freakonomics did an excellent 3-part series on US airlines, and the second episode was about the evolution of airline safety.  

Still waiting for the day they announce it for the US market.

Ah, Norwegians. They really like tunnels and anyho putting some of the oil gazillions they have into infrastructure (even in most remote locations, like Lyngen area) really benefits the nation in general. But man they put expensive few km long tunnels to places where there’s like 50 people :D.

The ‘90s was such a transitional time in the automotive industry, between the bare-bones, smog-restricted, square-bodied ‘70s-80s and the tech-filled retro-futuristic and “angry kitchen appliance” designs of the 2000s. It’s also a time where there were still clear differences in approach based on what continent each…
