Eh, these are 1920's Irish immigrants. While throwing rocks at stoplights because of the colors is silly, auto traffic and what people knew of it was very different in 1925 and the Irish\British have just a little bit of bad history between the two, which some of families may have personally experienced. 

If rocks are Irish confetti, I guess we can start calling batteries Philadelphia confetti.

I mean PHEVs. I know that they need plugged in, but the smaller range can either work great as traditional HEV or can be utilized as all electric for people with charging at home. I may have misread the stuff from Ford on my initial read though, looks like they are talking about HEVs instead. 

I’m with Ford on this one. PHEV everything while building out the EV market & infrastructure for it. Most people can’t charge a vehicle at their house (multifamily or city houses that have to street park), so it’s going to be a very long patchwork of development to get a lot of those households on board.

Transitional technology is a huge turnoff for the car buying market. I can see a ton of consumers who don’t want a certain car because they fear it will be obsolete in the very near future. With how fast cell phones and computers can get bricked, it is an easy fear to have if you don’t care about or understand the…

I feel like I’ve seen those for sale with either wood or carpet at the truck bed. 

While I personally have no interest in a new car that lacks CP/AA, I can see that being an even bigger deal amongst renters since they are getting in an unfamiliar car for a short time. It’s ideal to have it as familiar as possible. There is, arguably, a market of people who might be willing to put up with it for a…

As of this writing, it doesn’t appear as though Hair is facing any charges related to the incident.

I really hope the BEV transition continues to push hood heights back down. I’m just happy to see a new CUV with a hood that appears lower than its ICE counterpart, especially the downward slope that improves visibility and keeps the hood out of pedestrian’s face.  

The “scare” is for Chinese brand EVs made in Mexico and sold here, essentially the most reasonable way to get cheap EVs into the NA market. Biden put huge tariffs on them, but I’m not sure if that would still work the same if they got made in Mexico under current trade conditions, which is what makes me think that is…

NASCAR gets to keep 90% of TV revenue??? Does NASCAR at least own all of these tracks that get used anything that actually requires a bunch or revenue like that? Racing and golf have the weirdest professional markets. It shouldn’t have surprised anyone how easy it was for Saudi money to step in and almost tank pro…

Nope, if I don’t have to be in court I’m going. Especially some conveyor belt court room like traffic court. In most cases, the best thing you can do in court is shut up and let your lawyer talk, anyways. Everyone there is being paid to be there, no one in that court room is donating their time. 

There are just times where someone says or does something so stupid that it is difficult to comprehend what just happened. I think that judge initially doubted where he was and his entire purpose of being in that court room when he saw the guy was driving on video. It first took a minute to make sure he wasn’t crazy,…

Edit - I went back and watched the video. The guy was actively driving and treating this like he just got a call from a friend. He didn’t even pull over before getting on camera...

I don’t recall the brands, but there are current 202X models that I have rented where I had to manually turn the headlights off. Nissan and Honda are the 2 that come to mind, but I’m not certain of that.

Your premise is far from consumer friendly and only benefits OEMs bottom-line and bonus structure.

The Tonka logo works a lot better on an old S10 (or similar little truck) that is dwarfed by modern trucks. This is just an ugly, 11-year-old, 100k mile truck that is asking for $30k.

That’s how most crime rings work. Find some teenagers from houses that are struggling to put food on the table and offer them 100s to 1000s of dollars for simple tasks. It’s really hard to say to no on an empty stomach when your 15 and you can get $500/week to transport some backpacks on your bicycle around the…

This is why cops eventually shoot first and ask questions later. A no-knock warrant and stack of dead bodies doesn’t require silly things like “court” or “legally obtained evidence” to close a case. DA’s also hate losing, so they don’t just want some okay evidence, they want a lot of concrete evidence and that can be…
