This car is Perfect Dark. Perfect Dark took GoldenEye and improved upon all GoldenEye's stats and added some features we all wished GoldenEye had, but GoldenEye came first and no one remembers Perfect Dark.

If I were creating an EV company I wouldn’t come within $10,000 of Tesla. They own their market and competing is no way to start a brand. The world needs something cheaper and the world can support something significantly more expensive.

Lucid needs to stop making its case and start making more cars.  Its presence in the market is so tenuous I’m barely cognizant of it as a manufacturer.  I thought they were still in the It’s All Prototypes But Any Minute Now stage.  Like Lordstown but with a slightly weaker whiff of BS.

A lot of people buying Tesla’s aren’t looking for a car, or even an EV, they’re looking for a Tesla. It’s an image. A statement. I like tech and I likely own Tesla stock. They’re true believers in the mission.

Is yeet a curse word? I don’t think I’ve ever heard it before. What’s it mean?

I was helping a friend move a bunch of years ago and we had a mattress fly off the trailer. Luckily if was VERY light traffic. We pulled over and started walking to get it and I looked at him and said “You do realize that we are now “those guys”” and we both laughed. Luckily it caused no problems for anyone but us

That’s some Final Destination shit, right there. 

Similar thing happened to my dad years ago in Indiana. At that time the laws in the state were such that if the load hit the road before it hit your vehicle, then it was a “roadway hazard”. In this case, the idiot who lost their load got off without any consequences at all. The trooper told us that if the stuff had

A 4x8 sheet of plywood flew off a trailer in front of me a couple of years ago but I was able to dodge it.

Two years ago, on Route 36 from Denver to Boulder, a wheel and tire came bounding out of the bed of the pickup truck in front of me. Fortunately, it hit my car low, rather than high, and just damaged the front bumper.

For all the bullshit reasons cops pull people over, I wish they’d stop more folks with dangerous loads like this. I’ve seen old pickup trucks around here loaded with, and I’m not joking, about 20 full-size wooden pallets. Rear end of the trucks nearly dragging the ground with the damn things stacked 10 high and two

“either driver Kim Awada nor the front passenger...”

They obviously didn’t yank on the straps and say “yeah that ain’t going anywhere” before they drove off. #1 rule of securing a load.

It’s like an inverse Grand Wagoneer - all the wood is on the inside.

I’m sure he has a good insurance policy to cover the damages to his truck.

ugg, sorry. fixed!

FTFY. You’re welcome.

I fixed my brakes with a coathanger once.

Sure they will. The Range Rover Classic and the old Jeep Grand Wagoneer were direct rivals back in the day. This is very much a storied luxury nameplate.

Near Jim Thorpe PA is the Pioneer Pipeline, an above ground oil pipeline built in the 1880s to compete with Rockefeller’s railcars to transport crude to the refineries of New Jersey. The pipeline is still extant and visible, but used as a carrier for fiber optic communications cables.
