Sen Hancock received $2,000 from the same Texas PAC.

Love that we have to call Batelle a non-profit what with their $5B "budget"and have a CEO that rakes in $2.5M.

Fair enough.

I made this image, over two years ago, shortly after starting my blog and following a handful of automotive journalist on Twitter.

Why is it omitted in this story that Barrett's girlfiend came at him multiple times after being asked to leave *and* that she also struck him?

Do we know Takada is still alive? You don't want your company to be without a CEO, but at the same time it would make sense if he were dead, to continue to pretend he is hiding letting all the heat fall on him.

I learned a bit more about this while reading the rulemaking for rearview cameras. Many automakers were fearful that anything less than 2 seconds wouldn't be possible.

I think they try not to but sometimes they have too (scheduling?). I'll be at the drive next week which I think it after the embargo is lifted.

this would be in addition to having a key fob presumably? Automakers will still have to comply w all the FMVSS related to ignition and immobilizer standards. Neat tech but this will have to be redundant

Building high-rise living around metro and then adding 1-2 parking spots for each unit isn't exactly TOD in terms of minimizing congestion.

I wore a uniform for years. In my time I learned there are people who expect gratitude for their service and then there are those who of us who just do the job before them.

for those that ever start a sentence "dealers exist to sell cars" - stop. They, like many companies, exsist to make money - period. Cars or financing they have a single goal.
