I am convinced that if there was a vote that we could get a really good universal health care system (like Germany or Finland) AND better public transportation network where all we’d have to give up are the fucking guns, it would not have a chance of passing.

This country’s gun culture is fucking off-the-rails absurd. 

Obviously, it should be a Cybertruck.
We would want Fuhrer Trump to be presented in the most reliable, most protected, and most prestigious vehicle in the world.


[shut up... nobody tell him]

I get it that you don’t want to lose your job. Nobody wants to lose their job. But why is your particular job sacred? What about the people working in the garment industry? Why weren’t they protected? What about the people who used to build furniture? Why weren’t they protected? The people assembling computers? The…

I’m on your side about the folks here who build cars — the long-term risks of not making vehicles that can compete in the global market are very real and need to be considered. Harley-Davidson is a great example, with its turn to tariffs and protectionist policy instead of actually building globally competitive bikes c…

The Model Y is ugly.  It literally looks like a model 3 that was vertically scaled by 1.5.  Same with the X.

Musk, Trump, Thiel, et al. are megalomaniacal psychopaths. James Bond would be sent to kill every one of them.

Lol absolutely. Not only do the current gen Porsches look fantastic, but literally the only manufacturer that clings more tightly to their historic design principles is Morgan. Some people are just noxiously nostalgic though.

Yup. Why GM didn’t expand the Volt PHEV system scaled up to a crossover and then to the Silverado and Tahoe/Suburban back in 2014 is a mystery.

It’s fucking crazy, right? 

This shit is so funny to say about Porsche lmao

While they offer flexibility in packaging a series hybrid will *NEVER* be as efficient as a parallel hybrid in steady-state operation. In reality packaging/size/weight isn’t any different.

I think the automotive industry really needs to stop calling these “Hybrids”. Hybrids were predominantly ICE vehicles with electric assistance. Hence still directly connected to the motor.

EREVs (Extended Range EVs) are exactly that. EV’s that have a generator on board to power the battery. This made sense as you…

Okay, since nobody involved in writing any of this decided to include actual numbers, I guess I’ll do it.

In 1990, the EPA banned the use of phosogypsum containing radium-226 concentrations above 400 bq/kg (1 Bq = 1 radioactive decay per second).

For reference, cement ALSO contains radium-226, along with potassium-40…

Which again, I don’t know why we Have to EV everything, just keep the low selling sports cars at hybrids and EV everything else. The planet won’t die because of several thousand sports cars running around with an ICE engine.

The “passing lane” isn’t a lane for you to drive as fast as you want just because you are passing everyone. But please get the hell out of the way 😄

Towing more than 5,000 lbs should require a special license endorsement. 

The US should require behind the wheel driving tests every 10 years. With a written test every 5.

Formula 1, as currently formulated, is awful.

Base model zero option economy cars should have manual transmissions, Civics, Mirages, Sentras, Elantras etc. Pretty much all of these offer manual transmissions in their previous generations or in their current performance models so they have the tooling. I’m really just tired of CVTs and think more people having to…
