How do you get a manual EV?

Picking on the Lincoln LS isn’t the fatal flaw. Nissan’s problem is that their cars are BORING. And old. The 370z and Frontier are probably older than Brie herself

I can find much classier cars for 80K.

Same. I’m in the Orlando area and every Corvette driver seems to be dressed for a Jimmy Buffet concert. 

In my geezer-ville part of South Florida they’re popping up by the day. White one. At least three black ones — unless the guy is changing sets of wheels every couple of days. And an oddly cool battleship gray one with thin electric red pinstripes on the black wheels and flanks. It looks a lot better than it sounds.…

NOT going to reward some guy for being first in line. I’ve already seen one or two in the wild and know that a few more months of waiting, the supply will be adequate to meet the demand. That said, some idiot with more money than brains will scoop it up . . . and a year from now will be trying to sell it for what he…

The big question is: will they be more successful at finding buyers than Harley is? 

I’m amazed the dealer had all those bikes with fuel in them and batteries connected ready to go.

That’s one way to get more people into Harleys.

The trick is to expedite your exit from the dealership and then drive at a reasonable rate on the road so you don’t get pulled over on the hot bike

You can tell they are experienced Harley riders by the way they keep at least one foot on the ground while riding until they reach the proper both feet dragging speed.

Easy, just go to the Cracker Barrell parking lot and get them back.

Suspects are described as middle aged, fat, bald and very probably dentists.

You wouldn’t have to do away with states, you just would have to allocate mandates based on population size. In Germany, we also have to chambers of parliament. One consists of representatives sent by the state parliaments, with states having between three and six representatives depending on population size. The…

This much I can guarantee: Should DC and Puerto Rico gain statehood, every Trumper, Teabagger, anarchist and white supremacist will show their asses in ways we never could imagine.

The only reason the GOP doesn’t want DC as a state is because they vote overwhelmingly democrat, which means 2 more democratic senators getting in the way of their agenda. The same goes for Puerto Rico.

For context, Wyoming has less people than the Toledo metro area. If everyone has an issue with DC becoming a state there is a simple solution...subsume states into each other until they have equivalent populations.

OR! do away with States (and the Senate), redraw everything, allow for ranked voting, and essentially…

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Even Jay Leno, a guy who likes his cars mostly original, makes an exception when it comes to things like brakes, suspension in some cases and A/C... basically improvements to safety, durability and livability.

‘56 Chevy in my mid-80's college days. Brakes just popped, like stepping on a plum. Chain link fence did the stopping. Under 25mph, thankfully. Just embarrassment damage.
