They don’t give a damn about the potential economic consequences.

Trucks are one of if not the top source of smog and air pollution in California.

They aren’t just picking on them for fun. Residents are already paying for the externalities (see diesel death zones) of California handling the bulk of all goods entering the country from Asia.

17 years is alot of time to sort it out

Hello fellow service manager...and I second this entirely. The common (and false) assumption is that the dealer doesn’t want to cover a big warranty job because they don’t get paid as much. While this is true(!), the bigger underlying reason is that if they choose to cover a potentially unwarrantable repair, they’re…

They already do similar-ish things like that today. California requires box trailers to have trailer fairings (the big panels under the trailer) if you are traveling in the state. It doesn’t matter where the trailer is registered or where you came from, if you are transiting in California, it’s required.

Police budgets are by far the largest parts of any city’s budget.

More money won’t change anything.

We need to entirely defund then rebuild the PDs. With a lot less cops on the streets needlessly patrolling, and a lot more community based solutions to the problems we send cops on.

More money is not the answer.

I mean, the detail that if the aftermarket part or non-manufacturer backed service causes the problem it negates the warranty if the issue is related to that repair is right in the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. In other words if you put on an aftermarket oil filter found to be defective and you have an oil related…

Yes, God, thank you.  Any MECH-E who has been to school can tell you the magic carbs are absolute horse hockey.  The engine is ALREADY only burning vaporized fuel, and once the intake is up to temp, it is all getting vaporized by the time the plug sparks.  If there were a way for a carb to magically get these…

Exactly!!!! For those folks....better than a fresh ‘Playboy’

I think this is a good thing overall. I bought a 22 Bolt EUV this year, which means that I won’t be getting the $7500 as the bill currently reads. But Chevy did cut off 6300 off MSRP, so its nearly a wash. Would I have loved to have both? Sure, but I’m happy with the car for the price I paid. 

The Chrysler turbine cars were built in 64-65. The car project was cancelled in 1966. The bailout money was not as much a factor as the bad emissions, and poor mileage. They also had dangerous exhaust temps and were relatively slow.

The further legend is that he limited the color choice to black because that was the only color available at the time that would dry fast enough for the production schedule.

The 100MPG carburetor too, basically anything that amounts to “we could easily make more efficient cars, but don’t because of big oil.”

Engine working on water. They killed the last guy who made that happened...

Especially when they know that 25-30% of the population will blame Joe Biden for the high prices with no basis in reality - because they heard that on Fox News or read it on Facebook

Dude, fuck all the way off. Texas is run by Republicans; they wouldn’t make it better the second time around - in fact, from their prior history with multiple weather caused grid crises over the last 30 years they would probably make it even worse, more profit driven and more mercenary the next time around. And you’d…

This is kinda sketchy clickbait Jalopnik-at-its-worst. Try to buy a Bolt right now? They are really hard to get and when a dealer gets one, it usually lasts a day or so. I got the smaller one a few weeks ago, had the charge port installed yesterday so I can fast-charge. It’s a fantastic little car hamstrung…

Ok? Your cruelty is being activated by the very people who you’re trying to target with this nonsensical “strategy.”

Deliberately causing a brown-out or black-out to spite politicians is one of the worst ideas I’ve heard this week. I’m old enough to remember the Chicago heat waves when so, so many people died, most of them poor and/or elderly. Politicians in Texas (and elsewhere) don’t give a shit about people dying.

It’s almost as if the Texas power grid is a steaming pile. 

1st - Doesn’t Chevy have a good history of their parts being easy to access? That may just be my own bad assumption or the result of GM making so many vehicles that share parts, but always assumed something like futures parts was a pro to buying from the big 3 in general. Haven’t they platform shared with other…
