I don’t really disagree with most of your points...my point is that many of the benefits have been neutralized due to the terrible car market.

Because this is a car and auto-enthusiasts’ website and if it wasn’t mentioned, we’d all be asking. Knowing what car lets us paint a picture of what happened, what the fuel lines would’ve looked like, where he was in his shop, what era of fuel delivery he was dealing with...

Perhaps a massive wave of repossessions will help with the low inventory.

I disagree with the headline.

“There’s also the question of whether to charge drivers of heavier vehicles more per mile than those driving lighter cars. After all, the heavier a vehicle is, the more damage it does to the roads. But just because it’s the correct thing to do from a financial perspective doesn’t mean it would be politically viable.”

If Honda still sold the Fit, I’d drive one. Would meet my std day-to-day needs quite nicely. As it is, I have a Civic sedan - so not too much bigger.

I might be in the minority, but I also fail to see the point of a stick shift in a modern EV. I love the simplicity of EVs and don’t understand adding needless complication just so I can play pretend.

I like cars and I don’t care. 

I will give you a star for promoting the street survival school (everyone should take this).  But there is only so much defensive driving can do to prevent a wreck.  Sometimes someone else does something so completely out of the blue that you can't do much more than be a victim 

I didn’t own this car, but my parents did. 1989 BMW 735i. It’s such a simple, strong design that has aged amazing well. It even looked good in this old-man tan color. 

I... am not a photographer, clearly.

My ‘73 Volvo 1800ES. Bought it 20 years ago for too much money, fixed a bunch of mechanical problems, and it was my daily driver on and off for a long time. It’s waiting on some much-needed attention now, but man, does it get looks.

My Datsun 240Z. The image is not of my car, but my car was exactly the same: colour, wheels, and even the bumper rider!

“It’s more fun to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow”

Best way to watch the race? Stay home and get a 65" TV or spend $25k for a suite. There’s no in-between that makes sense on an enjoyment/$ spent basis.

Oh fer fucks sake, you live in texas. Just buy a used beater truck. Spend 10K on something to haul parts and drive through water and if it gets ruined, it’s practically disposable. Then spend 50k on something nice.

Now make this as accessible and convenient as gas stations and we’ll be getting somewhere. I don’t need a 600 mile EV. I need accessible places to charge.

Not embarrassed to say I love the audacity of these cars. 

Fully Networked Vehicle (FNV) architecture- this and any system like it are major red flags for me. I never plan on owing a car with any remotely controlled software or features.

I’m of two minds...
