Hulk Hogan happened.  Look it up.

It’s not exactly shocking since the current Model Y has been in production for nearly 4 years at this point. That’s an eternity without a refresh.

it will run just fine on regular

Like Mercedes double-stacking pit stops in China 2019

There’s a fine line between airline accident and “ATC double-stacking like an F1 pit crew to show off”

It’s a turbo hybrid, not just a hybrid.  It requires premium.

Case in point, the previous and next generation “Land Cruiser”:

Sorry, I may have explained that poorly. Let me try again.

Yes, buying the right cars for value growth is a little like investing, but you get to drive the savings account around.

Bought an S2000 in 2012 for $18K, sold it in 2017 for $21K.

I’ve had two LC500's (‘21 and ‘24). I literally bought the second one to get the new blue color. I have a #bluecarproblem.

One issue is that, by 100K miles, the previous owner’s maintenance starts to become a significant part of the reliability factor for the car. And if you’re buying the car from anyone other than the owner who is providing records, you have no real guarantee of how it has been maintained.

Toyota has been putting this engine in the Lexus LS since 2018.

Whenever I point this out to Coloradoans, they always go “oh, that’s why they do that!”.  Where Colorado registration stickers go on the license plate:

I have a 2018 4Runner that has been lifted and armored since day 1, I also help run a Toyota-based offroading club here in Colorado.

The US doesn’t refine the oil it produces because our last major refinery in the US was built in 1976, when we were importing all of our oil from the Middle East. We saw the same large gap in additional nuclear power generation until recently. Hence the “our biggest threat to energy security isn’t other countries,…

Just because the oil is sourced here does not mean that oil stays here.

The sooner that the nearly 300 million vehicles get off of oil in the United States the better for our national security and for our foreign policy.

It is honestly too much of a learning curve for many.

Last year we bought a ‘22 Chevy Bolt EV, and liked it so much that earlier this year we replaced it with a ‘23 Chevy Bolt EUV. To me, the biggest mistake Chevy is making is cancelling the Bolt and pushing all customers up to the Blazer EV (which starts at $49K).
