After almost 50 years stuff is going to break. Coast Guard cutters are about the only thing in government service as old as Voyager and they only survive by constant maintenance. The thruster issue is happening because they are running out of redundant systems.

Is there a regional breakdown? Where I live the Rivian R1T is common  but there's only 3-4 Cybertrucks among a horde of Tesla cars. F150 Lightning take rat is hard to judge because they look like regular F150 from most angles 

I have some concerns but I love the 6 series and a rust free body and decent interior trump even major brake work

Great, now do Oregon where we can register a lot of JDM but not Kei trucks. 

This the modern version of a Ford Anglia gasser. Basically a tube frame with whatever body on top.

Think of these as the automotive equivalent of Crocs, ugly but comfortable.  Considering what a misery box an LLV is in summer I hope they are prioritizing deployment to areas with the worst humidity.  

That rivals some of Danny MacCaskill's work.  

I briefly misread Princeville as Prineville and wondered how he ended up in Oregon.  

It should have been described as a thermal imaging drone. It's not like he was mobik being chased by Ukrainians. 

Even a mint "Appliance" wouldn't be worth that much 

When I was regularly commuting on my old BMW R100S I actually got out of a few tickets because the cop was shocked I had a motorcycle endorsement,  and current insurance and tags. I probably helped that I wearing a work uniform.  Also this was when GTI stood for "get tickets in"

This is as surprising as a rainy day in Seattle. Uber was based on flouting taxi licensing and labor laws and exploiting workers. That Uber is further shortchanged drivers by lowering pay is totally on brand.

My wife would love this, small, easy to see out, and her favorite 90s car color. 

Ending the range and horsepower arms race is a virtuous circle. Lower powered,  modest range cars use smaller batteries and weigh less so tires last longer and road damage is reduced, along with wallet damage. Get it under $25k out the door with 250 miles of range and the acceleration of a V6 Camry and I'll consider

Project Krässler used an earlier generation engine with pushrods and mechanical indirect fuel injection. This was used the XJ Cherokee and ZJ Grand Cherokee outside the US. The Liberty used the R 425 DOHC or R428 DOHC with overhead cams and common rail direct injection. This was also used in 2001 and up Voyagers and

Whatever the local cops have decided fits the "drug trafficker" profile for pretext stops, or simply out of state plate

I missed the chance to nominate Diva (1982) where the hero rides his souped up moped through the Paris Metro while carrying a bootleg tape of an opera singer.

Cybertruck, the price of a Mercedes,  the engineering and build quality of a Trabant.  

I’m questioning the economy of a cheap mount and balance. The used tire place we use a lot for winter/summer changeover damaged a bead on one tire causing a slow leak. I now have to sort that out. I’m also wishing I had the cash when my son found a set of OEM wheels for $200 since I wouldn’t have to remount tires

I think "good news" would be car transaction prices at early 2020 levels before the distortions of COVID lock downs and massive inflation.  That won't happen,  because the manufacturers are pushing more high margin vehicles and cutting cheaper vehicles,  plus the rich spend ever increasing amounts on their displays of
