Jeep could spared us the confusion and the hassle of discontinuing this class losing truck by not making it in the first place. 

How on Earth does someone who has never seen a Crosstour get a job at a car website? 

This is just a normalizing of the hideous. I’ve been worn down in the same way with all GM trucks over the past couple years. I start to feel charitable toward the awful, overwrought design, then snap out of it when I actually consider spending my own money on one.

The whole “two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation” seems an unnecessary twist/detail/sad footnote that lots of news stories have emphasized this year. It’s really not surprising that the Union Army would bring this news and actual emancipation to those enslaved in the southernmost reaches of the…

The murdered out Ram CC/Short bed is the quintessential truck for dads who don’t need a truck. 

You present an interesting thought experiment that is covered in plenty of post apocalypse stories. The Amish, though, do not exist in their own world and without the benefits and consumers found in modern society they would go extinct. 

How about no? I got TP at my small town grocery store and postponed the Costco run that starts with stocking up on paper goods, but winds up blowing $200 on stuff we don’t need in quantities that guarantee waste or gluttony. 

I sold my non running, trim in the hatch Grand Wagoneer for $300 in ‘03. I thought it was a NP. Wish I still had it but I was a broke college kid. 

My appreciation for the Maverick means that I think it’s just fine in any shade. I’d avoid some colors regardless of the car (white, black) and the brighter blue seems ironic? Swedish Racing Green works on Volvo Rs for a reason, not this version on a trucklet. The darker blue with a nice silver two tone on the bottom…

It stands out in the wild, but at the same time makes a car harder to see on overcast days.  Give it three years until it shows up on minivans and every hinged door minivan crossover. Like black wheels, that’s when a trend has nuked the fridge. It’s assertively trendy. I wasn’t reading opinionated car blogs in the…

Any port in a storm

2020 showed how one-way-elastic gasoline is as a commodity. Prices had to drop when demand plummeted because of outside influence. Demand for gas can only go so low in response to rising prices.

If only that were the case. He is shamefully an inspiration to other CEOs.

Timely Morning Shift; I heard about this practice yesterday in an interview. The guy who ran GE into the ground invented rank and yank to boost short term stock performance and generally torment employees. Capitalism is the best.

Are we watching an obsolete industry or business practice go extinct? Or are we seeing a further contraction of decent paying jobs just to have that money be siphoned up to the wealthy that would be fine without it? I don’t see how this will help our society but definitely see the drawbacks. 

Don’t replace the garbage disposal. Get a mesh drain cover to catch debris from going down the drain. 

Clicked on this at work; thanks. Leave words that would trigger the network filter out of the address or put them in the headline so we know not to click. 

Black wheel “mod,” be it flaking rattle can or powder coated, tell you about the type of owner you’re dealing with. 

I’m a teacher. I’d like to at least have a chance to defend my school in the horrific hypothetical.  To be clear though, Wayne LaPierre is a monster.
