I’m not sure if this is more or less bad than the case a few years ago where a hit and run driver drove home with he hapless victim embedded in her car windshield, parked the car in a garage and left him to die. 

Politicians are a special kind of stupid. I keep my range bag packed with shooting stuff and my travel bag sits empty. I also never keep a pistol loose in a bag, either in a holster on me or in a case. At least he’s not an Oregon state Senator our government has been sufficiently embarrassing lately what with dropping…

Sketchy narrow roads is why the old Mack DM had an offset cab so the driver was lined up with a front wheel, and is also why some mines use lefthand running so the drivers see the edge of the road, and are also on the far side of an offset crash with another haul truck. It's also why Italian trucks were frequently…

I think hybrid is a better option for trucks to address battery weight and charge time issues. I question the value of a center driving position although Topsy's cab is still less of an ergonomic disaster than Tesla. The glass panels do give excellent visibility of the front wheels and the door windows are a straight…

ND, it's rough looking and a 385 big block is,totally wrong. A clean stock 302 or 351 engined car with manual would be NP at $10k this is CP

The dual cowl phaeton, a car with two windshields.

Weight and consumption based registration fees would create an incentive to drive more reasonably sized vehicles. This does need a carefully tailored exemption for genuine work vehicles. We don’t want a repeat of the “Hummer loophole” where dentists claimed tax breaks on Hummer H2s as commercial vehicles.

Google Maps can navigate weirdly even with a data connection.  If I'm off road I use Alltrails 

A warning makes sense, using a hay bale instead of a more modern warning device doesn't. 

BEV monomania is a top down decision imposed by fiat and heavily subsidized. The free market rejects the thumb on the scale.  I'm not opposed to buying an EV I'm just opposed to having it forced on me. I am also vehemently opposed to a $500 a month payment for said EV.

The SE part of Oregon is almost devoid of EV chargers. Lake County, 8300 sq miles no chargers, Harney County 10,000 sq miles 2 chargers around Burns. Malheur County is better with several chargers in the population centers near the Idaho border but nothing outside of Baker City, Ontario and Vale. You could probably…

Resisting Arrest is the standard "contempt of cop" add on they charge just to be dicks. Even if you don't resist, and the super dick move beloved of Chicago is to charge damage to government property for bleeding on the cop beating them up. 

Yeah, I come from the operations side where reliability is king and "slow down and fix your shit" is the motto (I actually saw that in a Facebook data center). I have dealt with enough "move fast and break things" and "Agile development" to be comfortable saying "now wait a minute Mr. Socks Fox" and it appears that…

Those flames bear a disturbing resemblance to those cringe "tribal graphics" so ND as is NP with stock paint 

For technical clarity, smart phones do have a GPS receiver and will receive GPS signals without cell service. There are apps with offline maps so you can navigate without a cell signal. Alltrails and Gaia GPS are widely used as is Avenza Maps which works with coded PDF files. Even Google Maps has offline navigation if…

Does this announcement qualify as Elon Musk admitting error? If so we need a stone tablet commemorating this day. 

Dude was just bringing lunch from home. 

NP as a collector car because it is the 4WD wagon and most of these rusted out in the 90s.  ND as a real user car.

We’ve been lucky so none of ours were lemons. The 1988 Cavalier my wife had when were dating wasn’t a disappointment because I expected it to be crap

Yeah we had a 95 Escort from a dealer, while it had done 50,000 miles in two years when we bought it the car was in good shape and we got 15 years out of it. Apart from a stupid decision to trust transmission shop instead of buying a Ford rebuilt automatic transaxle it was pretty reliable. The crankshaft pulley would…
