The car will be a hell of a lot more efficient than the double-cab truck for car things, and the manufacturing emissions are trivial compared to the in-use emissions.

Why do you think I own an astrovan? And, I love it. I loooove it soooo much.

I can’t afford a new truck, either, but I’ve owned four used trucks. Even if I could afford a new truck, I wouldn’t buy one. I have better uses for my money, and new trucks are marketed toward limp-dick bitch-asses who have no business owning a truck in the first place.

Pickup trucks should all fit a fucking 4x8 sheet of plywood IN THE BED like god intended.

Only if all those people and things need to be carried all the time. It makes no sense to drive an empty truck 29 days per month just for the 1 day you use the capacity.

Nothing is worse than a truck with a full crew cab. .. and a four foot bed.

I see a lot of complaints about power from people here but when this thing has less horsepower than my 2003 Sentra SE-R SpecV I used to own, why am I not seeing rampant complaints about power. 3717 lbs and 182 HP? Is the 0-60 time 3 days? The Dodge Dart weighed 500 lbs less and had 2 more HP and people moaned about…

Find me a better suited car for hauling my 4 year old, while still pulling 40 mpg(I have the hybrid), I need my push button start, sun roof, and gadgets, able to fit a shit load of cargo in the back with seats folding down, and keep it under 30k. Simply stated we buy them because they work best as a family hauler. I…

Because most people don’t give a shit. And I understand why. Cars are expensive, their reliability is always overrated, and for the most part they should just be treated as tools that you throw away when they’re used up. Now, this goes against the Jalop mindset, but I believe these cars have a place. Like the minivan,…

Car-based platform? Check. A load floor height at or below the knees? Check. Eight inches of ground clearance? Check. Tall driver position? Check. Inoffensive styling? Check.

You have put in that much sacrifice, only to make $60k? Here in the Silicon Valley, we have software interns without degrees making $7000-$8000 a month- many have housing subsidies as well. You’d really blow a vessel if you come across these kids. Or the kids who work for Google/Facebook for 4 years, and have enough…

TIL that the plural of anecdote is data. Maybe the reason they don’t get your order right is because they’re not paid enough to give a shit. The best service I’ve received is consistently places that pay fair wages and include tips in their prices. It sounds like you go to these places looking for someone to do…

While I think American workers should stop telling each other they make “too much” and start telling employers we all make too little. This suburban Boomer judgemental bullshit has been helping to drive the class wedges deeper for decades.

Physical labor cant be done by everyone, and most people avoid it if given the opportunity. Its not valued highly because the people doing it are usually the most disenfranchised in society (not always undocumented) who have the least amount of power over their condition.

Washington resident here. Got a source? Because (anecdotally, I admit), I don’t see that happening. The places that are closing were already not doing well, probably because the employees weren’t paid enough to give a shit and raising wages put them over because they never budgeted for wages or raises properly.

Hey buddy, if unions disappeared tomorrow and all the assembly line workers suddenly got paid minimum wage, the cars wouldn’t get any cheaper. All the extra money would go into stock buybacks and executive compensation. Stop looking down at the person standing next to you for having a little more and start asking why…

psssst:

If paying fair and livable wages isn’t part of your budget, you don’t deserve to be in business anyway. Owning your own business doesn’t necessitate stiffing your labor the way folks like to frame it.

You’ve really bought that horseshit hook line and sinker haven’t you? So if you take a position that offers those benefits are you gonna turn them down because you want to “earn them”? No you’re not so stop being a pretentious asshole and acting like a job that you don’t do and never have is somehow unskilled and a…

Its takes an average of 22 worker hours to build a GM Escalade.
