IRL, Cooper is a republican former governor asshole. Arizona, I belive. One of those shithole desert states. 

I haven’t AV Clubbed in years for this exact reason and I expect this exact thing to be 90-some percent of the comments. I was reading about cars, missed a click by accident, and here we are. Same old shit.

I will contend that MM does excellent covers. Close enough to the original with his “creepy sex offender” vibe layered on. Rob Zombie should cover his influences so well.

Crack pipe at an order of magnitude lesd.

Friend, when an industry spends billions a year influencing the people who make the laws, when they have an industry of people to do so, when they have armies of lawyers and accountants and human behavior specialists... and *I* have to somehow be personally responsible for countering that? “Well when society at large…

You raise an excellent point. In most US states, you can get solar for free and make out. We did. Hell, we even sold the home with the solar contract as a feature. We threw a year of bills at our agent and he was able to show the savings. So, mid-pandemic, we closed with the third prospective buyer in 63 days of…

My wife and I both drive low-spec ICE cars. When we road trip, we just rent. 300 bucks and we drive a 7-seater luxury SUV to the Grand Canyon with our foreign relations. It just doesn't make sense to OWN a 7-seater luxury SUV.

And despite the shittiest degredation on the market, you can still get 50 miles out of a decade-old leaf. It's fine for a typical commute. Hell, where I work, the manager (85k a year) and myself live 12-15 miles away. The rest of the staff live less than 5 miles away. 

Nah. Low-income people are not typically going to need more range. Low-income people are not commuting more than 30 miles a day. How much life does a 12 y/o or more ICE car have? It depends, doesn’t it? I daily a 97 that just hit 275k. Yeah, it leaks oil and none of the features work. I gotta be choosy about where I…

Without the fire and noise, a Harley is just a shitty, overpriced bike.

Yeah this guy needs a remote field, a pole barn, and a propane heater.

Counterpoint: wearing a sweater that’s on fire is THE BEST kind of fun.

There is no point. We’re all only slightly removed from animals. There is no god. There is no plan. There is no karma.

Fuel ended up being a Chevy commercial.

Here I Go Again is an insta-skip for me, while Still of the Night is a banger. IMO, of course.

David Lee Roth in those days insured his crotch for 1 million.

Oh DO fuck off.

Republicans would just say they're ending a wasteful, unpopular program and give the money directly to big business in the form of yet more tax breaks, like they do with anything.

Any apartment complex in a growth area has dedicated chargers. Every park-n-ride in my area has them. Most newer shopping centers do. Many stand-alone chains do. Shit, my niece’s complex in Cincinnati just put a bunch in.

13 years is about 10% of the history of cars existing. It’s like media. We went from buying written music for hundreds of years, then the record to tape to cd to “phisical media is outdated” in like 50 years.
