90% of the first generation Silverado EV will never be used to tow anything, just as 99.9% of every Tesla ever made. It will probably take another decade to get power density and charger availability to the point where it’s a viable option.

I still get a kick out of whimsical spare tire covers on Jeeps and other SUVs. The classic “If you can read this roll me over” or the big yellow smiley face, love ‘em all.

TL:DR forum shopping. Some states and federal districts are friendlier than others to a particular side of the case or lobby and often you’ll see class actions all wind up in a particular circuit just because of the local rules or jury pool.

I was watching an episode of Vice Grip Garage yesterday (you should be subscribed to this if you aren’t already) on YouTube and Derek made a comment to the effect of, “these small-block Chevys were designed to run at 6,000 rpm and sing the National Anthem all day long” and it’s hard to disagree. Ford and Chevy small…

Your Cayenne cost exactly the same as my house in 2011, and my house has doubled in value over the last 10 years. Your Cayenne is going to be a Nice Price or No Dice candidate in 10 years. Just because something is fuel efficient and has space to haul around a couple of Labradoodles doesn’t mean it’s practical. That’s…

Ah yes, because I’m pointing out the absurdity of claiming that anything with a Porsche badge is “practical”, I must be bitter towards the success of others. The fact of the matter is that I really don’t care what other people buy with their hard-earned, stolen, gifted, invested, or even inherited money, but I’m not…

What’s silly is that people think the oil and gas industry will go away once we transition away from using fossil fuels for transportation and power generation. Plastics, paint, and polymers are all various forms of petroleum distillates. You can’t build a solar panel out of raw sand. Wind turbine blades are made out…

They have two versions of the Bolt, the EV and EUV. The GMC Hummer EV is about to go into production too.

Nobody except a person with the means to buy a Porsche would ever consider that to be a practical vehicle. I’m willing to bet the guy had an agreed-value policy on the Viper and is also getting a chunk of money from the toasted Subie and maybe a little more for personal contents lost in the garage fire.

The guy just dropped a book describing how big of a crackhead he is. I think it’s worthy of a random joke or three.

*sigh*

“Nevertheless, it probably won’t help the perception that GM is manufacturing these rims to proper standards.”

This one literally made my jaw drop. A burned up first-gen Viper is a tragedy. $120,000 to buy something “practical” is absurd. Did Hunter Biden write this one?

Why the hell are people voting ND? It’s a goddamn ice cream truck! NP at any price! Besides the fact you can take the freezers out and live the #vanlife and 90% of the work has already been done for you. Or you can leave the freezers in and #vanlife and earn some income between the Medium checks as the…

The only way to get it now is with the Escalade or Navigator.

I taught literally every new salesperson at my Carmax how to drive a stick in five minutes using this advice. The only person that it didn’t work on was my wife, she could never find the friction point.

1st gear: Government mandates always require government subsidies. When the government mandates that you scrap the means of propulsion you’ve used in your product for over 100 years and convert to a completely new method (new as in using batteries or fuel cells in mass production), you will likely demand subsidies to…

Petty’s grandson, Adam, died about 8 months before Earnhardt from a basilar skull fracture when he hit the wall in a practice session at New Hampshire. 2000-2001 was a deadly year for NASCAR, losing five drivers in crashes. The King survived a career that killed or injured for life many of his peers and he was revered…

1st gear: Farley’s going to be shown the door by next year and I honestly can’t wait for the stream of expletives he’s going to unleash on his former employer for “betraying” him. He’s one of those assholes in the industry that somehow got ahead by having zero class and talking shit on everyone else in front of…

NP because they obviously took care of the Takata airbag problem.
