Yes, and I can tell now the police felt the same way. They seemed very laid back with the information that a child was also endangered. “No child had been reported missing locally” is not a normal response to a credible sighting of a child in danger.

“Do you have to pay for an amber alert,” “How to take money from register without getting caught,” “Birmingham bus station,” searches for one-way bus tickets to Nashville, and about the 2008 movie Taken.

Vinfast isn’t the first foreign company to come to America with a crappy car that was completely unsuited to the American market. It’s amazing when you think back how many companies that made complete jokes of a car ended up with doing well in the US market once they adapted.

I wish I could figure out what the fuck you’re talking about.

Hard to say definitively, but years at least. This is the same kind of clear that gets used on paint, so provided it gets the same level of care, there shouldn’t really be a ceiling on that.

Looks sweet!  How long should that repair last?

The part Tesla nailed down is the most important for a business that’s ignored by the Jalopnik commentators: automotive margins. Tesla’s profit margin on cars is #1-2 in the entire industry, with only Ferrari being in competition. Sales of Model 3/Y are skyrocketing year after year and they can accord to cut prices…

Tesla’s stock price and valuation stopped making sense in a long time ago in terms of the size of the company and overall market share. There are so many promised breakthroughs and “later this year” items already priced into the current valuation that I think everyone has simply lost track of what has already been…

Not sure race has much to do with people believing it’s a hoax.

I saw an advertised deal for $2499 for a Panamera lease in the LA Times yesterday. Insanity.

We had to run out of people dumb enough to take on a 1k car payment at some point.

My family has a lot of similarity with your situation. 10kW solar on the roof and two Tesla Powerwalls. Husband drives an F-150 to work and it pulls our boat and travel trailer. I was ready to downsize and upgrade from my 2008 Expedition, and test drove a bunch of ICE vehicles in January. Wasn’t really impressed by…

Like any good consultant would say, “it depends”. Most of the cost variance coming from how far the main panel is from the desired location of the EVSE. We were fortunate enough to have our main 200A panel on the exterior garage wall itself, so running two lines (one to each side...literally 2ft for one and ~30ft for…

Assuming one lives in a single family home or town home, how much does it cost to install a home charger? An EV without one doesn’t make much sense. I understand that its a lot unless you happen to have a free and open 240v circuit. So for me, its the price of the car plus the home charger.

Raises Hand. I DO! I DO! I DO!!!!!

I’ve seen those approximately nowhere. The late Intrepid was the LH of choice in the mid 2000s.

Peak Infiniti, too.

Hummer H2

It’s more of a vibe thing but I feel like the correct answer is the Scion xB. Like just looking at one takes me straight back to 2005. I remember thinking they were so cool back then and I have no idea why. But then again, there’s lots of things from that era that I thought were cool that I had no idea why.

For me it was the Honda S2000, if you look at the essence of the 2000s as what is was rather than what was to follow this is a good answer. Mazda came out with the Miata a decade earlier, and it sold and sold. Everybody had to come out with their own small, relatively modestly priced sports car and we suddenly had a…
