All of these videos have a strong stench of fakeness, an attempt to get their name (and more importantly face) “out there” so they can become, say, an internet celeb. Social media fame chasers have made me skeptical of 99.4% of the crazy shit that’s supposed to be legit.

I think it’s just confirmation bias talking. There are so many Teslas on the road these days it’s not hard to find examples of bad drivers. Personally I don’t see any difference in a Tesla driver’s ability and that of any other car. There are good, and there are bad. Jeep Cherokee drivers on the other hand...

When it came to Tesla or nothing for me, I chose nothing. Now I’m happily driving a non-Tesla EV.

Late C3 Corvettes - fantastic looking hot garbage. Built in decent numbers, so you likely won’t get too much pushback on improving a few.

The Javelins is a “good” idea, but this is better...

The melting point of steel is higher than the temperature of a boat!11!!”

I always carry an anti-tiger rock in my pocket. I only take it out when going to the zoo, and thus far it has worked 100 %: I have never encountered a tiger here in Scandinavia.

You joke, but given the rents in NYC.....

I have yet to see a credible market analyst make sense of the estimated merger value for Truth social.”

Car news: the Port of Baltimore handles more auto imports than any other port in the country. It’s going to take quite a while to clear the channel. VW is just outside where the bridge was - just a huge facility - but a lot of roll-on/roll-off traffic was handled inside. We’ll see if/how quickly importers can adjust.

Elizabeth Blackstock is the most insightful Indycar writer since Robin Miller, and deserves a larger audience (and probably a raise). 

If it’s tied to Musk, I won’t believe it unless I see it myself on a self-contained system inside a faraday cage.

“She also said at the time that Cohen encouraged her to put her finger up his butt in the film’s final scene...”

Sort of like anyone I know who was declared themselves as ‘hating drama’ have been the most insufferably dramatic people I’ve ever known. 

I’m just going to assume, for the sake of not bashing my head against a wall, that you aren’t saying we should hate Anne Hathaway because you found an episode of Between Two Ferns she was on “cringe.”

The 2002-2005 Ford Thunderbird definitely did the “retro revival” thing poorly, using updated 1960s styling (by design) yet somehow also looking outdated for a modern car.

I think it stems from whatever causes my love of terrible Bruce Campbell type movies, but I like it.

Good news! In a couple years the price of EVs will be the same as ICE vehicles!
