“The interior of Tacoma is where it really shines”

Here’s today’s reminder that the Biden admin approved more oil/gas drilling permits in 2021 than the Trump admin did in their first year (by ~900 permits too, I think primarily in New Mexico, and more than the Trump annual average approved too). The Houston oil giants have been dragging their feet to re-higher the…

If we’ve all learned anything from the pandemic, if you don’t like something, throw the biggest toddler temper tantrum you can and you’ll always get your way. Someone else will come along and clean up after your shitfit.

Awesome, now that airlines have shown these babies they can act the way they did and get away with it means we’ll continue dealing with this shit forever.

Some cars don't have that many packages available. When I bought my car 10 years ago, there was one option package on the trim I wanted. That made shopping really easy.

Nope. Its pretty much a discount on your taxes, not the car. Its a slick thing automakers have been using to make EVs cheaper than they actually are. The EV tax credit is just that, a tax credit you’ll see at tax time. It doesn’t knock anything off the MSRP of the vehicle up front. So for instance, Kia advertises the…

Funny thing is, The Kia North America hq is in Irvine, CA so all this price gouging in LA and OC is literally happening in their own backyard.

Fantastic Dutch commentary!
“Oud kisje er op! [...] Helempie op, alsof dat wat helept” 😂

Unbelievable... People are using forums and instead of Facebook groups.

I’ve been wanting a new truck for a long time.

It’s OK. I’ll drive older trucks for the rest of my life. Fuck them, fuck markups, fuck dealers, and triple throw down fuck the morons that gladly pay it and enable this shit.

Am I salty? Sure. Who wouldn’t be? If you’re one of those conceited assholes with more money…

I have a reservation, but I’m never paying over MSRP for a normal car (not something actually special). I’ll just keep kicking it down the line until they stop being stupid. 

“ think it’s missing an opportunity to outfit a bunch of Ford E-Transit vans as campers, but the pickups are a good start.”

Too much “that thang ain’t made in MURICA!” While they drive away in their Silverado or Ram that is very likely made in Mexico. The Ford guys at least drive american made trucks. And the “Murica” types will flat out not believe you when you tell them the Titan is made in the US.

He’s such a transparently mercenary piece of shit. I hope he drowns in oil. 

And we’re getting renewed pressure on the provincial government here to allow elk ranching with canned hunts. Perfect for the promotion of chronic wasting disease in wild populations. Wildlife biologists in Alberta have been advocating against this for decades, but people who can make money off it never let up. After…

But to go inside, she may actually be required to get vaccinated. I wonder if she’ll opt for the Fyzer or Joanson & Joanson versions.

Can you imagine if we’d had your attitude back at the introduction of the internal combustion engine? If everyone said they were a “bad value proposition” (whatever that means) because we already had horse feeding troughs and people who cleared the sh*t from our streets?

Our transition to EV’s is infinitely easier,…

My commute (pre-pandemic) was 30 miles each way. A bit above average. The “normal” range of my 3-year-old Tesla Model 3 is 282 miles (313 on a ‘full’ range charge). I can make it home in the summer with 220 miles “in the tank”. In the winter, it’s more like 200.

If I’m taking a long road trip, say, to my daughters who…

People against meat on principle usually don’t want things that imitate meat.
