Don’t forget the original guy was asking for advice in a Jalop “Please Give Some Advice” article. FutureDoc is not shitting on anyone — FD is giving the correct opinion. If FD is walking up to someone at a family reunion or in a Target parking lot and telling them they were idiots for buying a CUV, then he’s…

No, the OP “no minivans” NEEDS to be dunked on, excessively at this stage. The person defending “its their choice” isn’t wrong when discussing AFTER the purchase... (sleep in the bed you made). Anytime someone buys a car, even idiotic, I always say “great choice” because at that time, they will only learn from…

The problem is that this kind of stupid shit ends up affecting all of us

Stop shitting on people for buying SUVs because they’re shitting on minivans?  Politely decline, thanks.

Agreed. Buying an SUV instead of a minivan when you have 2+ young kids is just plain stupid.
Do you know what is cool AF? Buying a car that perfectly fits your needs.
Do you know what else is extra cool AF? Owning a vehicle that can easily fit a sheet of 4x8 drywall or plywood inside it with no need for roof racks or…

I’ve been watching MotoGP since 2008 or so and I gotta say: I hate it. Aero has been the scourge of good racing in F1 for years, and now it’s infected bikes. And the turbulence generated screws with the following rider even more than in F1. Downforce is crucial now to the braking performance of the bikes. Bezzechi had…

I just did. She looks like Florida.

Frankly, she should take the sticker down if for no other reason than to protect her kids.

Like if you wanna have an OF go for it, letting your kids know is, well odd.  But advertising it so openly on a car you haul your kids around in, is questionable.  

So they were offended by the advertising sticker, but not by the Durango with racing stripes? Ugh… Florida… 

Here’s the dealio. FOM and Liberty Media want to make money.

My dad grew up in Western PA and his first job was outside Erie. His list was similar, but shorter.

most underrated one:

16: STAY HOME

if there’s a snow storm and you don’t need to go out, don’t. You are doing everyone a favor, and that includes emergency services, snow removal, public transit and all the other drivers that need to go out. Weather conditions can change rather quickly nowadays, and the line between…

GO TO THE FUCKING TRACK

I’ve ridden motorcycles, and I’ve ridden high speed trains.  Not sure the thrill is quite there with the train (but they’re hella comfortable).  As stated earlier, a better bet is just more access to race tracks.

Great analysis. There are so many factors that affect tire wear, but let’s mislead the public with a headline that never hints that the one example here could be the result of a lead foot or many other causes. Note the author may not get to choose headlines but we would never know from that how much many ev owners…

“You will be helping the environment” - “Yeah, cool”

This is silly. You could make an argument that everything on the planet is killing the environment. The idea is to harm it less and over time as little as possible. Basically what you are saying is, “All Cars Are Bad”. We know that Trains are much better for the environment.

It’s not that EVs eat tires: heavy cars eat tires. Some EVs are indeed quite heavy, but not all. A base Model 3 is in the ~3,700 range, which isn’t particularly heavy for a car in 2024. On the other hand, the EQS can run 6,000lbs and is likely to eat tires- especially if you are running a softer tire compound.

Yeah, here’s the thing: I’ve been driving BEVs for ~5-6 years as my daily, and even when I didn’t buy EV-specific tires, they were lasting waaay longer than 5-7k.

I have a big, fat, lead foot and I like using that instant torque. Hell, the OEM tires on my Mach-E lasted over 30k, which is pretty solid for OEM tires.…
