If they want to charge for it, fine. Their prerogative. I do not, however, care for video links to pay sites on Jalopnik.

You're absolutely right, it's one of the questions that will have to be answered.

Dad: OK son, let's do some maintenance work on the Tesla.

I have both sons AND my daughter involved in my DIY car fatuation. My daughter is the youngest but actually showing more interest than the boys... huh, who knew, individuality is a real live thing.

Hah!

Lest we forget, scientists, technologists and engineers can create any cool, amazing thing they want... and they very well may, and have in many cases, create a demand for something people didn't know they wanted beforehand. But then, they've also created wonderful, amazing things, critically lauded within their…

Right. I'm sure they'll be perfectly happy to buy back his car and sell him a very gently used car of comparable year and mileage.

Well, when you build top fuel funny cars that can hit 320 mph in a 1/4 mile, you think high speed test tracks are for sissies.

Every great inovator has a shit-load of ideas that are dumb-ass failures. It's the hand full of brilliant ones that everyone focuses on. Reasonably so, I suppose. But to your point, the skewed notion that Elon shits gold and couldn't possibly have a stupid, ridiculous idea is just part of the equally ridiculous Musk…

"What Chevrolet has done is to take all of what's good from the best of Europe and Japan..." that implies GM didn't create the tech, or that the tech was created in europe or japan. It's an understandable perspective from someone who is willfully ignorant in regards to American cars.

"Look, I know you think this is crap, and that I only bought it to demonstrate my love for Garth Brooks, but, trust me, it's tremendous."

can I say unholy? Yeah, not sure what unwholly is... actually, maybe it does fit.

It's like some unwholly marriage of a VW bus and a shooting brake... that's been chopped. And it has massive wheels/tires relative to its height. It looks like it can haul ass.

2004, my wife is due any day with our first child. I decide to sell my immaculate, low mileage 2001 Mustang Bullitt, because, you know, kids. Thought I'd find something I could pay cash for and eliminate a monthly payment.

Agreed. But I also have a problem with going after the makers of infringing tech if it has reasonable legal uses. It's like going after gun makers for making a gun that could be used in a crime or going after gun owners for owning a gun that could be used in a crime. Focus on the criminals, is all I'm saying, leave…

I have no problem going after people actively infringing copyrights... big problem with going after folks for owning the potential to infringe copyrights.

They are suing Ford and GM only because they can't sue the individuals. For a device that has both legal and illegal use cases, seems to me it's the folks that are ripping all their friends CDs that are infringing copyrights and not the folks using it to make legal copies of CDs they own.

"Ten Cars That Would Be Better With Less Power"

I get your point but it's hard to say what you are saying with insinuating that there is something inherently bad/wrong with American's that live in the country and enjoy stereotypically "country" motorsports. Call it redneck if you will, although there is a distinction between southern, country, redneck and other…

I'm gonna end-around your question and just get to what I'd like more of:
