Found this site with a little bit of digging for those interested. Emergency response docs from Tesla themselves. https://www.tesla.com/firstresponders

Not to defend Musky Elmo, but did he actually put into the contract that full self driving was coming? Or was he just being his usual all the hype self?

Yes I know it's a glorified CVPI/Grand Marquis. Yes I know there are cheap ones out there. But I want a pristine one. And then it would ruin me, because I would want to give it its own garage, which I would have to build. And barely drive it so it didn't get hurt. And then I'd want a lift because I wouldn't take it to…

Not to mention the insurance. 

Theres a few pretty viable kit car companies that produce these. Might be a cheaper way to lancia goodness without the bankruptcy 

I have had to talk my kid brother out of 2 of these. "well if something goes wrong you can fix it right?" Hahahahahahaha!(breathes deep) hahahahahaha! NO!

Knowing Leno, he’ll fully restore it and post a video about it on YouTube. And it'll be a good one. 

Same. There’s a few Rivians running around the finger lakes region

Yeah that sounds more like “I’ve got a good dealer” than “I’ve got a good car”

Theres one driving near me. Older gentleman, nice guy, very patient when I asked about 30 questions

The AMC building looks to be in pretty good shape. Shame to see it torn down

Huh. Didn't see that coming. And I'm a semi local

Nah even they’re making blacked out bikes now. (Looks on their website) one chrome mobile for their 120th anniversary and the rest are pretty chromeless

Hub Puller. Works on old school drum brakes and modern wheel bearings when they're stuck on the CV shaft. Has saved me hours of work. 

Thats a start. You have the propane version. When things refuse to cooperate with propane step up to one of these.

Honestly I just use a big C clamp. Never been a problem 

Exactly. The infrastructure in the US was designed around the car. We actually had a surplus of rail, but between the interstate highway system, cheap gas and the suburbs many train lines were either neglected to decay or rendered obsolete by trucks. The problem is that we're finding it's not sustainable, especially…

Same. I got snipped at 30. Didn't want kids then, don't want them now. My mother keeps saying "oh but it can be reversed and you could still have one" while my father immediately counters with "you really think he got a vasectomy without thinking about it?" Keep in mind, I'll be 40 in less than 2 years. And cost of…

Exactly. And on the rust belt cars the bottom edge of the tank usually rusts out around the same time the fuel pump decides to kick the bucket. Most times you replace the fuel tank and pump as a pair

So here’s the thing that bothers me. Looking at how these cars are being swiped, it’s not hard at all. Back in the old days (aka the 60-80s) you could pop the lock cylinder, apply screwdriver and have a car. During the 90s OEMs started putting things like chipped keys in to prevent this from happening. It looks to me…
