I love that we still call Navigators and Escalades “sport utility vehicles”. I don’t know of anyone that would use either of them for anything resembling utility, and the fact that they are top-heavy lumbering giants seems to invalidate the whole “sport” concept. Can we officially title them “luxo-barges”?

I find it interesting that you didn’t mention it in your article, so I will ask it:

This is 100% correct. And it’s even deeper than that. McCardle’s argument is patently bullshit on its face. It is not the case that American kids grow up in a “left-skewed” educational system. Children are indoctrinated in, at best, low-grade American exceptionalism throughout their schooling. We are taught that…

Bwaaahaha

So you’re cool with the whole I’m-A-Piece-Of-Shit-And-My-Opinions-Are-Awful bit, and went right to pretending to give a shit about civil rights, that’s fucking adorable internet fundie troll rules-lawyering of the highest order that zero people are going to even bother to entertain for more than a half second…

It’s troublesome for your relationship with a privately-held company, certainly. However, free markets almost always require their participants to adhere to the free association theory; you can always take your business elsewhere if you find that a particular privately-held platform (like Facebook) is biased against…

so. facebook helped the republican, ostensibly “conservative” candidate get elected. And yet, facebook is biased against conservatives?

Whenever I pass a truck like this in my tractor-trailer the driver gets very insecure. They have to speed up and pass me back just to salvage their manhood. It’s predictable and amusing.

Dat straw man fallacy, tho.

Here’s what I actually said:

As humans lack any predators (outside of other humans) the weak mass reproduce, these are weak people who might be weak in certain “areas” and so a large concrete queen truck is needed to compensate for it.

The demographic of Chevy Silverado buyers keeps getting older, their peckers ain’t getting any bigger, and their ED keeps getting worse. So they have to keep making them look more manly.

Because the Venn diagram of people that voted for Trump and people that would buy a Harley, now or within the last decade, are a perfect circle.

Well this is going to get fun.

No, it’s not. Mainly because it’s not a statistically significant sample size.

“Car biz is hell...”

What about his own negligence for not attending the drivers meeting? How about for driving too fast for the corner?

It is because some people think it is better off scraping an older car if the repairs equals the price of the car.

If you are unsure you could avoid a pedestrian on a lighted motorway when going 38 mph, you REALLY shouldn’t be on the road.

So technically, not even gasoline cars need giant grills. All the air a car needs for combustion and cooling can be drawn in through the slot below the bumper. Examples from the grill-less era of cars:
