ND for me, I can’t expunge the memory of the Gulag Grey switchgear and half assed engineering of 1994 GM.

1st gear, before being a Vinfast dealer is profitable Vinfast needs to address the quality issues from early road tests.

Yeah the "footprint rule" is unintended consequences writ large. 

Yes, it's much easier to signal virtue than live it. 

I think this car tells the story of multiple epic benders fueled by 4 Loko and magic mushrooms resulting in something the builders can’t explain, comprehend or safely drive.. 

The erratic behavior and weird messages made me think of Donald Crowhurst at first, but hijacking and smuggling are definitely plausible.  Of course after 35 years it's likely to have been sunk or scrapped by subsequent users.

making a 6000lb SUV electric doesn’t make it less destructive to the environment it just trashes the planet in different ways. Trading an Escalade for a Rivian isn’t saving the planet, trading that Escalade for a Prius and a couple of bicycles is saving the planet.  

That depends on the city. NYC taxi medallions are insane and need reform.  Portland Oregon's biggest taxi outfit is a cooperative and until recently you could buy a house driving a cab. 

I'm astonished at how much like an R5 the Jimny looks but what I really want is follow on to the old Dream Factory Blow 69 Suburban kit for the early Wagon R. Or maybe a square body K5 Blazer kit. FWIW a bit of tweaking could probably make a Jimny into a Scout 80

The worst job in the world right now is Cybertruck manufacturing engineer. So many components use new processes or extremely difficult processes and Elon losing his shit every time he looks bad because the schedule slips.

Has 2023 become the year of the self-immolating car? From the Chevy Bolt to the Ineos Grenadier, it seems like there's been a recall for fire every month.  

Decades of putting bicycle lanes in the “door zone” doesn’t help. Better bicycle infrastructure separates bikes from cars to mutual benefit. Also I have seen far too many social media posts about deliberately dooring cyclists to believe these are all accidents.

It looks cool but I don’t think it offers significant advantages over Telesqurt rigs that have been around since the 70s.

The technological and operational challenges of a 700 mile long pneumatic tube were going to doom this any. That was before it leaked that the primary mission of the Hypeloop was to kill rail funding in California.

I thought the 300SD was,the only W126 oil motor. This probably has more power so NP

I like this generation of El Camino with the quarter window playing up the coupe utility style but $16,000 seems high even for a clean original with an unusual trim package.  

I didn't see the Custom Cruiser when I trolled Wikipedia and I remember the Buick clam shell as enormous but also didn't have Suburban handy for comparison.  Back in the 70s they were still mostly work trucks.

Who will clean up all the abandoned scooters? Also is Bird bike share the same company or a separate entity because I constantly see Bird e-bikes on corners and sidewalks waiting for the clean up crew.

It's better finished than the old Top Gear car. 

<celebrity > generates more emissions on one vacation than I do in a year but I have to sacrifice my air conditioner to save the planet.
