Last night (7/27), a truck overturned in the D.C. suburbs carrying TVs. 

I feel the same way, and wonder if it’s because Volvo has always come across as conservative, whereas Audi has a history of more wild vehicles - so maybe we expect more from Audi.

And because all of those things are solved, more people will be on the road because 1. the technology opens access to transportation for previously under-served groups (children, elderly, etc.), putting more people on the road; 2. the technology makes driving more convenient, likely increasing VMT and total number of…

Here in Maryland, they want to cut down our trees.

You know their marketing is weak when I have literally never heard of, or seen this Buick wagon. In fact, I can’t recall the last time I saw a buick in the DC area.

This is very specific.

The true compliance cars aren’t those with super-high fuel economy. Believe it or not, “compliance cars” are about to be full-size pickups because most 2019+ full-size trucks will exceed their fuel economy/ghg requirement by enough that they’ll receive a crazy number of pickup technology credits. This helps their…

So the rest of us who don’t benefit from that company’s revenue should pay for the infrastructure (and everything else) that the company consumes in order to operate. Got it.

I agree with your response, except for the “what I drive isn’t your problem” line — it indeed IS everyone else’s problem.

I see a few around the DC area, and none hybrid. I can’t for a second understand why anyone would buy the non-PHEV version. After federal and state tax breaks, the PHEV version is literally the same MSRP and is massively cheaper to drive.

Things we now know about the new Bronco: Built-in canopy; fuel filler door on drivers side.

Not exactly. Criteria emissions are regulated (vehicles certified) on a gram-per-mile basis and there is no link between fuel economy (CO2 emissions) and criteria pollutants. Yes, highly-efficient cars tend to be certified to lower emission bins, but that isn’t by rule.

I’m not at all disagreeing with what you say here, but “the experts” also say that I should have double my income saved in retirement by 35. That’s probably sound advice for most in other generations, and even though I could have saved that much, doing so would have been a terrible financial decision. Guidelines are…

The other replies are kind of wrong and the research here is kind of wrong, too. I can only speak to the 4runner since I’m familiar with the recalls, but from what I can tell, almost all recalls for the 4runner are a very small number of affected vehicles sold through either Southeast Toyota Distributors, LLC or Gulf…

*e30. My ‘88 325is had at least one M badge, on the steering wheel.

FCA so stop badgering them with big confusing numbers.

This is how I can tell if a driver in Maryland is a MD native.

Except with gas taxes, you introduce equality issues.

Hey bud, why don’t you try adjusting for inflation? The graph you show is nonsense.

Southern republicans blaming “east coast snowflakes” for their self-inflicted problems. The irony hurts.
