Sure, but a CD was $14 and a digital camera a few hundred dollars. Cars on the other hard are the second largest purchase people usually makes after a house.

You’re cherry picking examples to meet your argument. Cell phones might have become more widespread in the early 2000's, but they had been around in consumer form for almost 20 years by that point. The same with digital cameras with around a 15 year lag between introduction and up tick. CDs vs LPs is a completely…

Does that automatically make all of them racists?

Are you that obtuse or do you just think the rest of us are? Anyone joining with Nazis and the KKK to protest the removal of a statue is not just protesting the removal of a historical statue. They’re racists protesting the removal of a historical statue because they’re racists. The statue they’re protecting is a…

Given a good portion of them are saying racist things, including actual WWII era Nazi slogans, I’d say the ones who are “protectin muh herituge” might be in the wrong crowd.

If the concern is human rights abuses in the provision of materials or supplies for our transportation, then yes, let’s absolutely worry about what’s going on in rare earth metal mining. In fact, let’s really get on that. Because sticking with petroleum as a major ingredient of what it takes to get us moving is not a…

Shit, a story from where I actually live. o_o I’ve driven by her car daily on the way to work, never assumed people would have an issue with it, infact I always assumed those lay-bys along the road were for parking anyway, wtf else would they be for? Pretty ashamed by the people around here right now, didn’t realise…

She should slam the front, install chrome side pipes, wide tires at the back, paint hot rod flames on it and stick a Weiand blower through the hood just to spite those intolerant bastards. See how they like having a death-hot-rod-wagon on their perfect little street.

Who’s in for a Kickstarter?

It’s just a momentary setback. Plenty of extremely safe coal mining jobs will be opening up soon.

Entering navigation addresses, navigating sub menus, etc.

all of the “knobs” youre missing are now on the steering wheel. Track control, volume control, temperature control, phone call controls. if you have a car made after 2010 it should have all of those on the steering wheel now, if not thats on you for getting a car that didnt come with that

Knobs work for audio and HVAC when you have individual controls for each function. That’s it. Everything else needs a touch screen.

Nah, man, it’s millennials. They’re at fault! Haven’t you heard?

If someone is tailgating you in any lane, they’re just being dicks. Slow down and piss’em off more. The ‘fast lane’ doesn’t mean ‘only if you’re going the faster than anyone else on the road’.

Hell, aggressive tailgating would be a desired feature of a fully autonomous vehicle (from an efficiency standpoint, not so much for a passenger’s comfort level). By sticking close to another vehicle you can improve the energy economy of both vehicles and more vehicles will be able to fit on the same piece of road if…

This leftist gets the concept that if you tax it, you get less of it. That’s actually very true, and why I advocate for the taxation of land instead, since no one makes it, and speculators make it too expensive to live. But anyway: yeah, just tax the carbon and we’ll get less of it. No ornery regulations needed.

This is a disaster.

LA, too.

I think I’d rather see a sales tax on vehicles that fall below a specific MPG threshold. That would force the people who want those ghastly huge trucks to pay for it without hitting poorer people who rely on mass transit or small cars to get where they’re going.

Does Trump not remember what New York was like in the 1970s? I think we’re dealing with the first leaded gasoline affected president here.
