Part of the problem is English people are getting bigger. I remember the BBC complaining about obesity in the oughts. The rest is mostly safety standards and some equipment. A third generation Smart For Two weighs more than a Citroën AX, despite being almost 3' shorter.

I like to think his next job will be selling Altimas, and the idea that F&I guys are the ultimate shame is hilarious 

I got this information from the State of New Jersey web site.  I think they know their own tax code. 

Unfortunately you're right, if a government entity fired him because his wife did only fans it would be a 1A. Since it's a private business wrongful dismissal and anything else likely to stick and cost money 

This makes a Mitsuoka Orochi look good.  Oddly you could get a Mitsuoka Orochi in the US by sacrificing a US legal Acura NSX as the base car instead of a JDM NSX. That the Orochi requires an NSX makes me hate it more

A car salesman married to an amateur porn star seems on brand,  and he probably has a first amendment case. I will make popcorn and await Steve Lehto.

LIke many states NJ taxes income earned out of state so if you live in NJ and work in NY both states charge tax, but you can claim NY income tax as an NJ credit. I still think someone who lives on Yonkers NY and works in NYC gets it the worst, because NYC and Yonkers charge city income tax on top of state income tax.

Interestingly loaders are switching to joysticks. Newer Caterpillar wheel loaders have two joysticks, one for steering and one for the loader. This gives an experience similar to a modern skid steer loader

New Jersey gets to charge commuters income tax. They had their chance to buy in and refused. I  hate NJ anyway 

DI'd the Ever Given start a TikTok challenge?

To riff off an old quote, it is good that Cybertrucks have distinctive headlights so you can spot the idiots a long way off

It looks nice but apart from producing a handful of vehicles Canoo looks more like a scam or money laundering than a viable vehicle builder. Rivian has actual delivery fleets in service alongside consumer trucks and Lucid also has a substantial number out on the road. Even Fisker got more stuff made before imploding.

Lots of people with not a lot of money want cheap cars. I wouldn’t buy a $35,000 crossover but I also wouldn't buy a Mirage or Versa. I guess I am buying used

Those fires are astonishing and I saw the Santiam Canyon after the monster fires in 2020. 4 years later Detroit, Mill City and Gates have burned out buildings that haven’t been rebuilt and burns where there used to be trees. 

It’s like a Turbo look 911 all show and no go. ND

I wonder what it sounds like. 8 cylinder motorcycles are sort of absurd, the last serious one is the old Morbidelli.

Nice alliteration there

I’m Gen X and I dislike it because the interface is all touchscreen and those never to be sufficiently damned capacitive pads.

I'm looking at going retro and trading my 2016 Mazda CX-5 for a JDM van. Probably a,Bongo Friendee but maybe a HiAce 

The interior is pure Mcmansionhell.com and the exterior deserves a roasting even if doesn’t have 3 ridge lines and a nub. I’m also astonished at the price $1.6 million is a hell of a lt for 2000 square feet on 1.6 acres in a Colorado subdivision. I can buy a small ranch for that kind of money, or at least a bigger…
