Found David Tracy’s Nemesis. 

Weird. Normal people don’t want to buy a $50k car with 7% interest rates, tech that’s outdated faster than a modern smartphone, a business model that’s constantly pushing microservices, and tracks all your movements with no way to opt out or find out where that information is going?

This is a bit of funny math on the part of the writer. How many Hummers at a sticker price of over $100k did GMC plan on selling?

Right, this kind of thing are routine and considered ‘good for the economy’ in spite of the bootstraps/self-made man capitalism myth, but partial student debt forgiveness is elitist socialism.

Okay, maybe not at the moment, but the opening of this article is really funny, since Joe Biden is famously probably the single most famous user/fan Amtrak has ever had.

If it is going to be anything like my Grand Cherokee 4xE, it does have some regen and I can use the engine as a generator, but that tanks the gas mileage some. Level one charging for that battery is going to be ~15 or 16 hours from zippy to full. Currently my Jeep takes 12 to 14 hours depending on battery depletion.

No surprise - where I live, the sled season used to go from around end Nov to mid March. Now you’re lucky if you can use it Jan/Feb.

First of all, it’s absolutely hilarious that the image you picked to show this magic button is from a car that uses a lever instead of a button, and what you highlighted is just the indicator light.

And there’s a cover under the cover... Is it just engine covers all the way down?

Yours is the best comment I've ever read in my 30 years of Internetting. Kudos.

A replacement centerlock wheel nut for a gt3 is roughly 300 USD. So 1k for an f1 centerlock nut doesn’t sound crazy.

huh - so it appears that the Orcas knew how to disable the boat.

I waited 9 months for mine, but also wasn’t convinced I was going to take delivery if and when it became available. But my local Ford dealer stuck to the MSRP for my Hybrid XLT, so I gave away my beloved 2009 Mazda 3 to a friend and moved onto Truck Life.

I have no idea how Ford could have foreseen this problem. I mean make a vehicle that is:

If you have to go back 40 years for an example of good racing, I don’t think Miami is the issue.

Cheap new cars were replaced with expensive cars and mortgage-style financing.

Yes, but, if you read the article, automakers have killed lots of lower priced models. It’s not just a question of auto makers pushing higher trims, they have straight up gotten rid of their lower priced models

Those represented in the case say the issues are dangerous and potentially life-threatening.....
