Phone bills were really high 30 years ago. You paid ~$50 a month in the mid 1990s for landline phone service (about $104 in today’s dollars). 10 cents a minute was considered a good price for “long distance” (Sprint flooded the TV airwaves for these long distance plans), which was any call outside your immediate metro

For Safety reasons, fuel door should be drivers side. Our vehicles programmed to not auto unlock the.doors. When my wife exits the door she does not walk around the car leaving driver door unlocked. Vehicle refueled on driver side near the driver door. Much harder to steal her purse or vehicle.

Duh . . . Air Force One!

None. There are enough trucks and SUV/CUVs that never leave pavement. But if we must play this game, I’d buy something like the 88/91 Civic Wagovan with “RT-AWD.” Sliding doors like a Mazda5 would be handy. Or just reintroduce the Element. I don’t like dogs but market it to dog people and chubby women who wear

Hey...that’s what happens when the party you speak of advocates for a lack of education.  

It’s more than just the auto industry, though. Project 2025's environmental section is basically “let’s intentionally destroy as much nature as possible and purposefully make global warming worse.” Not even a “maximise shareholder value for a short while” kind of destruction, but “let’s commit environmental suicide”

My first pick? The K5. The blazer name is taken, so let’s go with the GMC version, the Jimmy. The current Canyon AT4X/ Colorado ZR2 platform is straight up awesome, and recent. It would be the perfect basis to bring a Wrangler/Bronco fighter to market. MAKE IT SO!

Suzuki Samurai/Jimny. Doesn’t even have to offer many upgrades, just bring it back to America.

Edge case? Are you f’ing kidding me? A deer is by FAR the most common animal you could hit which could ruin your day (and your car). It’s way more likely to be in a road than a human (even homeless ones pushing bikes in Arizona). I have contacted precisely one thing in my 30+ years of driving over nearly 1 million

Polestar and Ford warn that proposed legislation will do exactly what it is supposed to do.

Look I'm a libtard so what do I know, but the constant shilling for Chinese EV’s on this site is a little ridiculous. If you haven’t noticed, they use any profit we give China, they use to craft the means to destroy us. Maybe don’t give them the arrows in their quiver?!

I’m thinking it would be a fun runabout for my rambling country estate.

I wish I could be this guy or gal...but I just can’t shake the value part of car ownership from my mind. Every time I buy a car I care about (current e46 M3) I get worried about putting too many miles on it. Even when I try to force myself to buy a car I don’t care as much about (current e91 328xi wagon) I start doing

With these, it isn’t so much mechanical breakdown, but rather the probability of wrapping them around a tree. 

I can’t imagine spending that much time in one.

Yup. People always have an excuse as to why they arent promoted. DEI is just the current scapegoat. 

Ah yes, the infamous O-1 visa, for those with extraordinary abilities. Besides not being a famous model, Melania made no significant achievements in the fields of art, but y’know....

Worth noting that the 3 individuals that I used as examples were all white.

Not all of them. Remove his security clearance, then nationalize the ones that require said security clearance. Namely Starlink and SpaceX. Especially Starlink with the news last week. 

Y’all keep asking, but the answer is obvious:
