First they came for our illuminated Spirits, and we did not stand up.

If it’s the fucking Changli I will burn this website to the ground

Plus, it’s not like getting the Ridgeline over other similarly sized trucks has some sort of huge improvement for everyone else... so why do people care if someone else ends up with a Ridgeline or a Ranger?

Nah, they stole all the panel adhesive...

Star. “...auto writers, and by extension commenters, are obsessed with the idea that anyone buying a truck or truck like vehicle must use it to its maximum designed utility at all times. I’ve never understood this.”

Yeah, it’s really no different in concept than all the McLarens, Ferraris, etc. that never see a track.

How did it do dropping the kids off at School?

The problem is the UAW is a multi-billion dollar operation at this point. With hundreds of millions of dollars floating around each month, it becomes easy to miss a million here and there. Especially when much of that money is for above and under the table greasing of politician palms.

The UAW has you covered! The people that work at the UAW are members of a union, the UAW. They pay union dues to the UAW. That way the UAW can argue on behalf of the works with their boss, the UAW. It cuts down on overhead.

Yeah. This.

It was prepped and bumper melted and wheel bearing broke in a M4 meant for racing?

And Utah. For a long time, CA was importing from coal-burning power plants. In effect, exporting pollution.

Or they can just pay to have Idaho and Nevada (and probably Arizona) to build new power plants since I assume the regulatory environment is friendlier in those states. (I presume Oregon’s surplus is from hydroelectric dams and they otherwise have a similar regulatory environment to CA, so expansion there is unlikely.)

Interesting. I hadn’t seen that report before. Couple those problems with climate change, and it’s a real mess... i.e. the mess we’re living in right now. Air quality just tanked in SF again.

California is already having power supply issues, let’s add 2 million or so new EVs to the grid each year...

And women with small vaginas?

because the timing chain cover is also part of the cylinder heads 

Yeah. I’ve been using Rain-X since the late 80s. And I use their washer fluid as a kind of “renewal” for the coating I put on the good ol’ fashioned way.

Fellow rain-x geek here. In reality, rain-x really only works at speed. Auto is on around town, and I’ll turn it off at highway speed. If it’s raining hard enough, wipers are back on.

I guess I’m not eligible, since I use the RainX washer fluid.
