I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: EVs are too damn powerful. Nobody needs this kind of power. Nobody.

Someone woke up today with a bone to pick with some bones.

It’s been found that the proportional size of certain parts of the brain correlate to political views. For example, if the part of the brain that is responsible for the fight-or-flight response (the right amygdala) is larger, that is correlated to a higher likelihood of being politically conservative.

Must have swerved to the right despite having his left blinker on

Did “progressivism” leave him or did corporate, fascist money find him?

So far, that’s the only one I’ve seen. It’s usually a bad sign to only see one of a vehicle around here soon after it’s released. I’ve seen a ton of barely released vehicles over the years. In 1991(?) I saw the Jeep Grand Cherokee that was shown at the Detroit Auto Show, the one that was driven through a pane of…

I had one of these, in college. I bought it Used of course. I actually liked the car. Not enough to buy one new, but If I had the means I could see me sitting this in the garage for no reason and never driving it. It’s just as interesting as seeing an obscure 80's car in mint condition. The glass is all new interior…

The NC had a great colour called Spirited Green:

The Mirage is cool though, give it a little more aggressive stance and some ground affects. Shoot I saw a boosted one a long time ago and it actually sounded good, I’d definitely drive it and get one in green.

I have one sitting in my carport...  Along with an ‘81 Omni DeTomaso.  But that’s a story for another day.

Meanwhile, for a Mitsubishi mirage

Almost everyone would disagree with you about the Ridgeline. It’s the truck that most people who think they need a truck, actually need. It’s got 5000lbs towing; the cabin of a Honda Accord; a decent bed with locking, waterproof underbed storage. With the gate down and some straps you can haul plywood, bikes, etc...…

The Santa Cruz is one of those vehicles I’d answer for a QOTD prompt about a car that you irrationally kind of like. Like, I can’t foresee a circumstance where I’d ever own one, but I also kind of like something about the way they look. I had similar feelings when the Kona debuted. Just funky enough in the right ways.…

The Protege5 was a good car. If you look at any car from 20 years ago, they’re all lame and slow compared to today’s cars and that’s not really a fair assessment. The Protege5 also came with a 1.8L that provided adequate performance. I had a roommate that bought a 99 Protege ES sedan with the 1.8 and a 5 speed and it…

While we won’t get the EZ-6 in the U.S.,

My disinterest in Tesla is 95% Elon and 5% market catching up.

Totally agree on that. Musk’s reasoning is that “we drive with only our eyes, we should be able to program computers to do the same.”

Well, the country is so far right in totality; so it’s about that as well.

That’s right, that’s what conservatives do. They take terms from the left, co-opt and invert them into something negative, and then proceed to flog those dead horses into paste. They can’t win a debate on merit, so they resort to poisoning the terminology. And because these are intellectually bankrupt buffoons, they…

Crappy weather? Have you ever been to San Francisco? Sure, its foggy parts of the year but it’s extremely mild and pretty far from what most define as crappy. I normally wouldn’t worry about salty air in ocean towns in California, having grown up around Monterey driving cars from the 1960s-1985 (Thunderbird Elan with…
