“The New York Times of 2024 is a rag of transphobia and genocide denial” says Amber with little basis than her own agenda and politics.

It’s an outrage! there is nothing on earth that improves the great outdoors like the clouds of diesel exhaust pouring from a slow moving, stuck in traffic RV as it ponderously blocks traffic and slowly crawls ahead in an endless ant-column of vehicles all wanting to see the glory of our state and national park system.

Diesel VWs are for people that firmly believe they’re saving the planet by getting great mileage, while they spew vast quantities of particulates and toxins into the atmosphere.

I worked in service at a VW dealer in the 80's. I was writing up a Rabbit diesel for a laundry list of repairs and an enthusiastic owner willing to spend the money said, “Well, I want to keep it going because they don’t make them anymore.” Without missing a beat, the VW technician next to me says, “There’s a reason

Booby trapping your property with explosives would likely result in felony charges.  Just follow Mark Rober’s lead and make some stink/glitter bomb packages.

In this case, yes, the Turo insurance should cover this, IMHO (but I would not be surprised if they worm their way out of it). The insured is the owner of the truck, they are in the business of renting them, and it’s not like you can vet who is going to decide to be a vigilante with your truck. So Turo should pay out

1. Fuck package thieves. Genuinely, let them get hit by a bus.

The problem is that without the tariffs they could dominate the EV market and absolutely destroy American car companies. China has a much cheaper source of labor because workers can’t unionize to protect themselves. And since their workforce is over four times as large as ours (They have 740m workers, we have 162m) if

Yes. This is another major reason why Chinese cars should be discouraged. So much of the Chinese economy is built on exploitation. There is a reason why their products are cheap. The cat is out of the bag in terms of other sectors of the economy such as textiles, but don’t let the Chinese have the automotive industry,

On one hand, I understand the security risks involved with Chinese cars in the U.S. However, that whole theory starts to fall apart the second you think about

Hey, some people just want to have a cheap car from China.

Look I'm a libtard so what do I know, but the constant shilling for Chinese EV’s on this site is a little ridiculous. If you haven’t noticed, they use any profit we give China, they use to craft the means to destroy us. Maybe don’t give them the arrows in their quiver?!

While it is fun to blame this all on Elon hate, this is explainable without and EV buyers should beware, resale values are not great:

While he is somewhat of a Tesla Fanboy, really he is an EV fanboy and also has a few other EV’s that does long term tests. He has an Rivian R1T as well so he isn’t just a Tesla nut hugger. He gets them and puts them through a lot of tests and he test all EV’s and covers the EV industry like charging tech and charging

Depreciating asset depreciates. More news at 11...

Do they look like Rivian? Or just me?

Honestly, if a dealership screwed me over by not putting a plate on my test vehicle, odds of me completing a $40,000 transaction with them just went down to 0%.

because every time the police ticket a customer, the dealership is going to lose a sale. if I was on a test drive and the cops gave me a ticket because the sales guy was too lazy to put the dealer tag onto the car, no fucking way am I going to let that guy get a commission.

A lot of denials from the dealer that fucked up. I don’t know if this is a reoccurring issue or not, but it seems like if the dealer had offered to correct the problem properly for the customer we wouldn’t be hearing about it. So I’m going to go ahead and believe that a dealer in Texas has been playing fast and loose

Losing jobs due to technical advancements is a story as old as the industrial revolution. Look at this picture compared to the lead one and see how many workers lost their jobs from robots.
