I wonder why the Southern Tier of NY is suddenly a train building hotbed, Hornell and Horseheads are only an hour apart on what used to be Route 17.

The serious answer is that Horseheads is right next to Corning and only sticks in my mind because of the Sysco food service warehouse. 

I am mostly interested because it’s near where I grew up. FWIW the address is 295 Battle Ave which puts it a few miles from my parents first two homes in the area and near where my mother lived for 30 years. Note while Mom was 81 when she moved, she drove a Honda Accord and had not been in a car accident since 1994.

I don’t understand the method here. Average used car prices seem to be $35k across the board so what else is considered? Oregon never feels expensive to drive in apart from gas prices.

I'm glad to see they stayed in business so WRX drivers can still install Cobb short shift kits to avoid falling trees 

It was a sad day when the Forest Service cheaped out and started buying light trucks in white with green tape stripes. Fortunately the medium duty trucks stayed green, since my loves type 4 fire engines.  I see a lot of older trucks in FS green,  including a few that may have been privately owned all their life. 

Reluctant ND, they were great to drive but the MZR turbo made the rotaries look reliable.  It was a rare lemon among otherwise great engines. 

Yeah Jalopnik is unusable without Blokada on android 

The Toyota Century V12, or the Rover P5B if you like older cars

That's the thing Jason Torchinsky has been pounding for years. SAE Level 2 systems like Tesla are a worst of both worlds situation where the machine isn't  smart enough and relies on the meat sack who has dozed off because people are terrible at watching their car drive. It's much better to have either Level 1 driver…

As long as you can get parts a lot of old tech is more reliable.  Also old stuff with discrete components is more easily repaired.

Ocean gate is a 7 layer fail cake built on arrogance hubris and a belief Stockton Rush was smarter than his engineers.  

XKCD nailed it years ago

I am astonished by everything here. $3300/month is my mortgage, utilities, car loan and some groceries. $25,000 down is slightly less than I paid for my car. 10% APR on a new car loan is crazy but CNN says 9.36% is normal for a used car loan with prime credit. $50,000 negative equity is just flat out insane and…

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.
