Do you even understand the context of this article? Trump blamed ‘DEI’ for the plane crash during his press conference. As it turns out his own DOGE firings, blanket budget cuts and headcount buyouts most likely hurt the ATC way more than whatever DEI effort he was BSing about.

He’s better at piloting than the pilots!

$47,000??? What did they do exactly? It’s a flu. 

Faraday Future and Aptera should just join forces.  It would be a vaporware dream team.

they cant even sell enough manuals in the tacoma

Is it any more costly? I mean when you look at videos of cars coming down the assembly line- they are all different. The workers at each station get a tray of parts for each car. A computer controls which tray of part goes along with each car. So one car gets a 10" screen and cloth seats. The next car gets a 14"…

What on earth makes you think vandalism is heroic?

I don’t understand you at all. Are you telling me that people vandalizing cars and tearing the doors off, is less of a crime than kids tooling around in dirt bikes hurting nobody but themselves?

Well put. In our culture we are always looking for deep pockets to sue. We can’t just accept that nobody is at fault except the people who contributed to Global Warming. ie. everybody.

People need to stop scapegoating PG&E. They are not doing anything differently than they’ve done for the last century. What is different is the Global warming and the drying of the vegetation during the summer.

To be fair, a lot of government all over the world has spent a whole lot of money chasing this dream. The biggest problem is that it sometimes works. You just can’t duplicate it when you want to.

That’s the frustrating thing about cloud seeding. When you want it to happen it never happens. And when you weren’t expecting it to happen, it happens.

I can’t understand why in this day and age of automation, a company like Toyota still refuses to let their customers custom order their cars like BMW does.

This is the kind of reasoning that makes no sense to me. If this config already exists in the Tacoma, then there is pretty much zero re-engineering needed to put it in the 4-runner. And with Toyota’s Just-In-Time systems, it’s not like they are tied down to make 100k of each particular configuration. Theoretically…

That particular period of car styling is pretty under-appreciated. The Imperials, along with the 1958 Lincoln Continental, was a kind of Baroque period of American car design, and far more interesting than the space-age styles that came before and the more slab-sided austere style after.

My top annoyance is unedited car repair videos. I love car repair videos and rely on them heavily. BUT for f**k’s sake, edit them down to just the essentials please. I don’t need to watch you slowly turning each bolt in real time. Nor do I need to watch you look around for the screw you dropped on the ground. Nor do I…

I agree about Pagani. At least you are getting some pretty amazing hand craft for your money. 

I make an exception to Lotus, Donkervoort, Morgan and a few others. But the mega-bucks supercars are really tiresome and their owners even worse.

Not that I watch him all that much, but what did Scotty Kilmer do wrong in terms of car repairs? His car advice in general is pretty lame, but I get the feeling that the car repair advice is solid. Just like the Click and Clack brothers- lots of joking and fooling around, but very solid car repair advice.

You are missing my point. My point is that the ‘race course’ is every bit as dangerous as the situation here- with spectators lined up along the sides and rally race cars blasting down the dirt road.
