This is my life. All short people think being tall is great. Let me tell you being a 6'5 220+ lb man in an airplane is a fate worse than death. I can barely stand the 1 hr flights. Concerts are great but airplanes and low hanging things will be the death of me

Amen. If you can open the tray table, you don’t need one of these. My knees also prevent seat reclining naturally. 

1. This is Evil week.

It’s really not that bad, it just shouldn’t be called a Mustang of any kind. That’s my only real gripe.

It’s almost like they built better products and people kept buying them.  It has nothing to do with unions.

“They give you an OPTIONAL break on your taxes for saving in a private account and you refuse to do it because “guvmint”?”

Their line of thinking is very clear: “College wasn’t valuable for me, therefore it’s not necessary for anyone” I am pretty confident they have no college fund for their kids.

Your last paragraph is spot on. You don’t buy a slightly used car. You buy one that has depreciated more than it’s service life has shrunk. Get something in the 5-7 year old range, and you’ll be paying 30% of MSRP for something with 50% or more of it’s life left. Or you can go older with something 10 years old, and…

Great article, Patrick. My take is we have collectively lost our damn minds. The collective keeping up with the Joneses paradigm never seems to go away, especially when it comes to vehicles.

Teslillac-- “The Standard of The World in Compliance Cars”

At what point does “it’s a concern they’re not making money even after reaching a half dozen self proclaimed milestones that would allegedly cause them to start making money” become “Tesla is fucked”?

You could give these people both hands and a flashlight to find their asses and they'd shove all three up their asses and still not know where said asses are.

Yeah, but even if impeached, it`s doubtful the senate will vote to remove him.

“California has the worst air quality in the United States, with ... 34 million people living in areas that do not meet National Ambient Air Quality Standards — more than twice as many people as any other state in the country,” EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler wrote in a letter to CARB Chairwoman Mary Nichols.

1st/Neutral: Remember that time that the Trump administration also wanted to withhold funds because California had a bunch of fires and Trump blamed them for it?

1st gear:

Can you imagine if Obama had said fuck you to the red states that he knew would never support him? He didn’t do it because he’s a normal human being. At this point, Trump isn’t even trying to hide his pettiness.

threatening their funding? why, do they have dirt on one of Trump’s political rivals they refuse to share?

1st Gear: Isn’t the EPA undercutting it’s own argument in favor or removing the CARB?  By arguing here that California has an air quality problem, couldn’t a court use that as justification that the EPA essentially can’t have it both ways?
