Biden was middle-of-the-road and shone only, because his opponent is a cheese-brained mob boss. President Biden should have made it clear that he will not seek reelection from day 1 and used the time to hand-pick a strong successor.

While she didn’t say it (in an otherwise excellent article about an excellent man dealt a brutal Presidency), I’m guessing she’s thinking about the Levittowns that popped up after WW2. Before that, suburbs were a bit more organic and not like the crammed cul-de-sac sameness that has spread like cancer all around the…
Jimmy Carter was both a good President and a good man through and through. Conversely, there’s not a decent cell in Trump’s body, unless it’s a cancer cell. The “malaise” (a word President Carter never used) of the late 1970s looks pretty good compared to the utter shitshow we’re about to face.
The same people who bitch endlessly about politicians being corrupt and useless are the people who vote for reagan over Carter and trump over Biden, and somehow never make the connection.
“He tried to leave America a little better than he found it. He attempted to warn Americans about the challenges we’d face over the next five decades. Our own legacy shows we were completely unwilling to heed those warnings.”
I never voted for Jimmy Carter, but I have nothing but respect for his legacy.
My Republican father who was an engineer in a nuclear power plant highly respected Carters experience as a nuclear engineer and submarine commander. When Carter introduced the solar panel tax credit he immediately installed them on the roof of our house where they not only provided a more than adequate source of hot…
We’ve got a couple decades’ worth of experience now with diesel emissions being really hard to control in the real world. Most countries started ratcheting up the particulate emissions rules because it turned out that particulates had pretty nasty effects on population health. Manufacturers, meanwhile, added all kinds…
From what I’ve heard, you don’t give a shit if people with asthma or COPD die.
Yeah, if you belch all that shit out into the atmosphere your truck runs better.
so here’s my theory. the REAL Karens are these small minded dickless fucks who think they can do whatever they want. They’re not limited to badge wearing bootlickers either. for the most part, cops in general are pretty law abiding, but when you get a bad one, they occupy the top 1% of dickheads in their respective…
Tesla in general have a lot of detractors, especially from the auto journos, so I don’t really see where that hype is, other than from a bunch of Musk’s cult followers who aren’t the majority of Tesla buyers.
If you push out your hybrid at the same time you push out your new halo model you get one chance to speak.
The outgoing V6's soundtrack left something to be desired, and that really detracted from the Fahrvergnügen. That’s all I’m getting at.
5 link rear suspension is a pretty big leap, much bigger I’d say than anything outside of styling between Gen 1 and Gen 2. Ditching the leaf-springs is damn near monumental.
Dumping the Fiat for a Mini? Who are these people? That is like deciding that cutting off you own thumb is a bad idea and cutting off you index finger instead.
The one parked in my driveway disagrees. It does have the Fiat Madness ECU good for almost 200hp, but 160 stock herspers should be fine for getting the holeshot in traffic.
If he was driving it gently, he was doing it wrong. These are made to thrash. I drove an ancient Autobianchi in Italy, like a 500 but with TWO! carbs. Your butt was 3 inches off the ground; you could pick different cornering lines (and even stay in your skinny Italian road lane), and it felt like daily autocross. I…
~$10k seems like a workable price for a decently fun, modest, late-model something with ~$60k miles, so I voted Nice Price.
