Pssst, we are a very strong headed ‘millionaires in waiting’ type of people. No one wants to raise taxes for something to help them now when it could cost them a lot when they magically get really rich from all their bootstrap pulling.

I am generally puzzled by this, can you help me understand?

I guess we live in a world where 325hp and 380ftlbs is considered “meh”. Sounds like good numbers to me, for a sport oriented sedan. That torque is going to make a HUGE difference to driveability compared to the naturally aspirated big 6 in the Camry.

Did you actually read the first sentence or just the headline?

Or we could simply not worry about out of state mileage except for rare cases where the vehicle does A LOT of out of state driving. Basically, you pay for driving in your state, even if it was out-of-state, unless you submit to more invasive tracking to prove that you’re doing a lot of out-of-state driving. I’d wager…

I think one of the big things that always seems to get overlooked when comparing “the next Big Thing” to previous leaps in technology, such as the automobile, airplane, and space travel, is the effect that war has on accelerating their development and subsequent acceptance by society.

Yeah, two sources:

2nd gear: “We’re in the middle of a climate crisis,” said Marion Thiemann, transport-policy expert at Greenpeace. “The biggest problem is the automobile industry.”

After cars with eyelashes, we now get cars with mustaches! What a world!

I listen to NPR over the air pretty much all the time. So I guess I am no one.

My folks have a Garmin I think? They don’t own smartphones and I believe their GPS may update regularly, it somehow gets traffic updates too.

I think R8s from those years are aging better than any other supercar of the era. Matt Farah actually tweeted about this exact thing today. The R8 is timeless.

The general response to this is that you would only have that spanking brand new, max capacity battery if you paid extra for it. The car itself would not come with a battery and the price would reflect that, and they would just throw a used one in. If you had your own dedicated charging infrastructure and didn’t plan…

My confidence in bold claims is inversely proportional to the number of typos in the presentation.

GM’s OnStar offers this ‘feature’ already.  It’s opt-in... for now... but I don’t like where it’s headed.

I think it’s a failure of our society that those who can so aptly discern, appreciate, and distill the essence of a car (especially a super or hyper-prefixed one,) into prose are generally unlikely to own one (at least until fancy Kristen gets the bulk of her trust fund, anyway.)

I’m not worried about the car getting hacked. I’m worried where MY data goes.

Income inequality has drastically widened over time, and real wages have been stagnant since the 1970s – while a variety of other costs have skyrocketed. These obviously aren’t things created by the Trump administration, but their actions aren’t helping. The tax cuts overwhelmingly benefited the rich and corporations,…
