I can take a lot of crap. I have taken a lot of crap in my life. The experiences that still get me are the homophobes and transphobes I run into on Facebook Marketplace...and, well, life.

The problem with EV charging is you have almost no idea how long it will take. Whereas with a gas station, your max filling time is probably 10 min. per car. But really closer to 5 min per car. If we were even at 20% new cars as EV sales, public charging would be an absolute nightmare.

IMO it does not make sense to buy an EV if you are planning to rely on a charging network for anything outside of the occasional longer trip. If it is your commuter car, you’d better have a 40Amp+ charger in your garage or dedicated parking space. Anything else and you’re better off with a PHEV, HEV, or just regular…

Actually, coupé comes from “be shorten” or “cut,” referring to shortened, two-seat carriages. When automobiles came about, it referred to short, and short roof, signifying two-seater or two-plus-two, so no, technically can’t be four-door. Sedan comes from a covered chair with two horizontal poles with two ore more…

BMW literally would not let dealers order the interesting colors for stock when I ordered mine in 2011. Same with the more interesting interior colors. Why my Tasman Green on Chestnut wagon is one of only two in the country - both exterior and interior were special order colors.

The correct origin of the Spider is the latter. The short, roof-less carriage with full-size wheels were referred to as a spider because of the way the top of the wheels reach above the beltline of the carriage, which looked like a spider with body below the joint of the legs. Thus, traditionally, short-body…

Good luck finding a dealer with the foresight to spend the extra $$ to have a yellow Mustang in inventory.  After all- most cars are configured and ordered by dealers, not buyers - and their motivation is to move merch which translates into the blandest, dullest and overall least offensive colors available.

“Innovation”? Nah, they just straight-up ripped off this guy:

Religion is by far the worst thing humans have invented. Fairy tales for adults.

I would have to say Pontiac. Apart from the GTO, Trans Am, and Fiero, they has some really cool models even into the early aughts, with the new GTO, G8, and Solstice. GM really did them dirty by keeping Buick around and axing them.

Despite 15 cars and 8 motorcycles in my fleet, my heart still has the softest spot for Smart. Sure, Smarts have never been the fastest, most fuel efficient, or the easiest to live with. But they remind of early Saturn. They were different with a purpose. Mercedes-Benz could have just made a tiny car (and it did with…

- gotta warm up my car for twenty minutes before I drive

lol, and I'm overhere pissed because I can't get a Mavrick with enough tow capacity to haul my S550 Mustang on a trailer. 

My ex wife was like this, fought me on it say that we needed a 3rd row SUV because we have 2 kids and what if each of them wanted to bring a friend to an event we’d need a 3rd row to accommodate everyone. To which I replied that if that’s the case someone could have my seat and I could just stay home... and now were…

That’s obviously because they are better. 

People say better? Or funner?

“I need a 3 row SUV because I’m having a 2nd/3rd kid.”

No. You need a Minivan. Just buy the damn minivan.

“Dodge/Chrysler/Stellantis is a good brand.” “American cars are fine.” “Inflate tires to what’s on the sidewall.”

More people would buy it than the stupid moar powah version. Which they are only bringing in because they have to dick measure with Audi and Volvo.
