It’s used in just about everything! From the Model S and X to ebikes, scooters, laptops, vapes, 18650s are all over. The 20400s that Chris pulled from vapes here seem less popular, but they’re still used in plenty of places themselves

2nd Gear: Nooo. I’m casually in the market for a 3/4 ton and came to the conclusion that Chevy/GM was the only good option (Ram apparently has weak transmissions and my FiL has a Ford dealership and says he wouldn’t own one if he didn’t get it for free). That left GM. Are there any good auto manufactures anymore?

“strong consumer demand for traditional ICE power”

Hotshot I thought was a diesel pickup truck and often with a trailer for expedited shipping etc, and requires DOT inspection and are almost always insured. If I recall that correctly, then I am thinking it’s unlikely to be a hotshot driver just due to the paperwork and start up costs. I guess the person could just be…

Someone on another forum guessed that this might be a “hotshot” driver (urgent deliveries for people who are burning money and daylight at a ferocious rate for lack of a spare part or whatever).

Normally I’m not about escalating issues to police if it get’s handled, but I would be so heated, I would have called them and be hoping something bad happened when they showed up, but that’s just my knee jerk reaction.

A nice side effect of my dashcam is that is makes ME a more, umm, polite driver. Any time I get fired up by others’ stupidity, I think, do I really want to record my own aggressive response?  

I put a dashcam in my car several years ago specifically because of seeing a video like this one. I even purposely bought one that is relatively easy to notice in the window. I don’t think it’s my imagination that I can tell people drive a little more carefully around me in traffic when I have the camera mounted…

Asking a fast food restaurant to cut your burger in half should be a felony.

He's the sheriff, so he's elected. He can't really be fired, unfortunately.

Never recommending a car to a non car person is excellent advise!

I like the VW guy willing to ignore anyone saying they have had not VW problems as simply being lucky, but not willing to entertain the idea that the bad VW experiences he has had may just be him being unlucky.

Same if you are out of fuel. Pumps still need power to pump gas.

Not defending the governor, but at the end of the day he and the gas stations are at the mercy of the distributors actually getting the gas out. Which is easier said than done. We had a hurricane, near ish to where I live, we are a few hundred miles from the coast so it was just a bad storm, not gas but ice was VERY…

Remember when Obama was inaugurated? Ram had already been building the truck currently known as the Ram 1500 Classic for several months before he was even sworn in. It isn’t just old — it’s old old.

Just head to Fort Lauderdale or Miami. They will be fine. The hurricane path is on a NE trajectory with the center well-above those cities.

A friend in SC was bringing supplies to others the hard way: loading up backpacks and hiking up washed out roads.

LOL, I tried to explain to someone in the past about gas stations not working after bad storms and they insisted it wasn’t true.

Flood damage sucks, it’s a nasty mess on a good day, this level is a nightmare to get out of.

i’d think that ebikes, quads, and brodozers would work better in this situation, but what do i know. i’m in socal so we’ll find out if i’m alive when the “big one “hits.
