When I was obsessed with detailing my cars (i.e. before children) I sometimes would move the car up and down the driveway while barefeet, because I did not want my dirty/wet shoes to soil the fresh interior.

Maintaining flatness across large stretches of sheetmetal, especially thick bent sheet metal is more expensive in production than stamping a profile. Stamped profiles can have a certain amount of deviation before people start to notice but non straight lines are easily picked up by the human eye. This is why we all…

Tesla already owns production lines with all the systems you're claiming they're avoiding. Your argument fails both the smell test and any application of Occam's Razor. 

What’s the estimated offset between steel stressed body and a ladder frame under a more conventional body?

GUUUUUUH I’m so tired of answering this question. The sources are not hard to find if you look.

The Montreal Protocol wasn’t limited to CFCs, so hence ODS.

You do realize that many of those crises passed because people made a genuine effort to fix them, right? Y2K lead to significant changes in firmware and computing. The hole in the ozone layer lead to a comprehensive change in the refrigerants people used, resulting in a reduction of CFC emissions so drastic it…

Re: ozone layer. The world did make an effort to reduce ODSs via the Montreal protocol and now the layer is making a (slow, but measureable) recovery according to the EPA.

i always give my dad shit because there’s a passing resemblance between the two, down to the accent. We just celebrated my dad’s 70th. Cheers again, Dad!

I got my license 12 years ago. Minimum wage was $8.00 in my state, Insurance was $1800/yr for me, drivers ed(requisite if you want your license before 18) was $1,000 and gas was over $3. We had(have) graduated licenses so for the first 6 months you can’t drive anyone so when my friends and I would go places we would…

Wow, he has aged terribly. Like a red wine that’s been sitting next to a radiator for 40+ years.

Why should we sit around and argue about how we are going to die

That’s really all I got from the article, too. My dad is 62 and I figured Clarkson had a good 8-10 years on him. 

Is it possible that kids are just interested in different things, and loud cars were his generation’s thing?

He’s not even 60!? I swear I thought he was nearing, if not in, his 7os. Man, that diet of bile, xenophobia, anger, and cigarettes is really not good for you. Maybe someone should make him a few more salad sandwiches?

Yeeeaaah, I think the extremely high cost of cars nowadays, lengthy/horrible graduated licensing in some provinces/states and the highest insurance premiums ever might have a bit more to do with youth not being as car-loving as in the past.

Nah it’s not the crushing student and medical debt, it’s definitely Greta that makes young people not buy cars as much.

I finally watched the “release” video of Elon and the Cybertruck in its entirety....and I am convinced that Elon has never spend any amount of time using or even near a working truck. And by working, I mean a truck used for a trade job...as in its at its job and on the clock, working.

It’ll look like a Colorado, not a Maloo, just so we’re clear.
