I imagine not. If they’re eliminating the nut behind the wheel, I suspect they’ll dispense with gig work and run the autonomous cars themselves.

This is a spookier deal than that questionable Aston post you started the week with, for a far less fulfilling con.

This is good news.

Or, Hell, a Toyota Avalon.

Just because the ad’s gone doesn’t mean that this Blazer’s been sold. It just means that it’s not available for sale. That might mean the same thing, but it also may not.

If the reporting proves out, this wasn’t a deadly car chase due to a traffic violation.

You seem to look at this as a liability, but I see this as a valued asset.

Yeah, it’s not the way it works in Portland, like 80 miles north of you.

That’s nice to know. However, I can tell you it doesn’t where I live now, nor was that where I lived for 25 years before moving here.

That doesn’t work when you have to take a feeder bus to a main bus line, then a second feeder bus to your final destination. Or need to make a shopping stop along the way going home.

I understand. I’ve left New England for sunny South Florida — home of the Early Bird Special. Commuter rail down here takes cash through automated systems, and gives large change in dollar coins. Anywhere you shop down here, every cashier knows where you got your damn dollar coins and hates you with white-hot passion…

This is a great idea.

I drove in Northern New England for nearly 30 years

I drove in Northern New England for nearly 30 years. Blew out three tires over the years, and bent one tie rod. Not as bad as many, but potholes are hard to avoid if you’re on unfamiliar roads and they’re covered with snow.

Don’t fret. The hollow doors will protect you. Surely.

Yeah it is. But it’s absolutely true.

I fondly remember sucking down Guinness in a pre-fabbed Celtic bar in northern New England, listening to some Boston Masshole wax poetic about the cinematic talents of Tarantino and proclaiming Pulp Fiction to be a revolutionary film and the seminal movie of our times. He really said “the seminal movie of our times.”

You forgot to use the New Paradigm label. That bromide that clearly points out that everything you’ve always known is no longer relevant, because I’m giving you new rules to go by.

I agree, and would also contend that the Chevy Silverado/GMC Sierra also qualify for that All-American mantle as easily as an F-150 does.

Please excuse me for saying this here, but I don’t much care about the car. That little doorstop would be a deathtrap.
