Stellantis and their propaganda, I swear they get their ideas from watching the government officials in the “Chernobyl” special.

I mean, it *is* hazardous waste. It requires proper labelling, storage, and disposal.

Shoot, it’s about 10,000 times neater than my garage.

Some drums of oil is not hazardous waste, this was a car company, of course there is a bit of that. Have the lawyers figure out who owns it all, either it is the auction company or someone who will quickly engage an auction company. Let the auction happen. Hire a few temps, bring in a scrap metal dumpster, a normal…

Manufacture a vehicle that is heavy enough that you can avoid some safety requirements since it is classified as a heavy duty truck and then act surprised when an insurer wants to insure it as a commercial vehicle.  

Who wants to bet IF he reveals it next week (hint he wont) it will just be a regular ass Tesla model with some kind of Taxi livery.  I have said it over and over if he can’t make an autonomous “taxi” work in the tunnel in Vegas in a 100% CONTROLLED environment, he isn’t making one work on the regular ass roads.

Why, in the world, is ANYONE voting for people this far removed from any reality?

Even uglier as the redneck truck trying to run Clark Griswold off the road.

I guess I’m all alone but I always loved the styling of the Explorer Sport Trac Adrenalin.

Good, I generally dislike the idea speed limiters in the first place, or at least ones you can’t disable.  There are plenty of areas where the normal flow of traffic is above the posted limit, in those situations driving the limit is actually MORE dangerous than going with the flow. In Houston, inside the loop 55mph…

I don’t understand this current generation of car buyer. When did many buyers start believing that automobiles weren’t depreciating assets? Seems like current buyers are overspending on the purchase thinking they’ll sell the car in a few years for more than their remaining payment.

This is one bill I’m actually glad he vetoed. Total garbage and was a complete joke.

It’s not a hypothetical; this is a real situation for millions of drivers, meaning that millions of drivers are exposed. You can call them stupid, but we’re not talking about whether they are stupid or not, we’re talking about the aggregate risk in the US population. For that calculation, the underwater assessment is,…

It required “an integrated vehicle system that uses, at minimum, the GPS location of the vehicle compared with a database of posted speed limits”. Who maintains that database? Who ensures that cars continue to receive those data? How quickly do they require those data be updated for road work, etc? It was a…

Given that about a 1/3 of the country is currently literally underwater, this will cause a lot of problems for the ones that are financially underwater on their cars as well.

Not if you had a decent dealer.  Ordered my truck in March ‘22 and it arrived in June.  Paid about $3k under MSRP.  

Hell, most everyone is underwater on their car loan the moment they drive their new car off the lot

What happens when you are in a collision where you are partially or fully at fault or the other driver does not have insurance?  If underwater and without gap insurance (which most drivers are too cheap to purchase), that person will be fucked.

This matches up with the majority of Americans who are have no financial literacy. And how about the poor decision making of buying a new EV that will lose more than 50% of its value in two years instead of leasing and taking advantage of the tax credits.  Have we learned nothing from the past two decades of poor…

John Clay Wolfe (JCW.com) has a weekly show on Youtube, and there they have segments where callers calling in to see if he’ll buy them on the spot. (He owns “Give me the Vin” and that’s what they do, buy cars from people).  Anyways, there are always people that try to highball him.  “My Ford Truck, duals, special…
