• China’s price trend is due to their insanely high subsidy levels finally getting cut back. From what I recall, their EV industry was overloaded with companies started to get a slice of the government money (>300 companies producing EV’s at the peak!)

A picture of a guy bringing a box to a Tesla factory in a cart that could be 2,000 years old. There’s a lesson in there somewhere. Not sure what it is though.

It’s a self-driving (ha) problem. If you slow you’ll be hit by someone who doesn’t slow, so you don’t slow, and therefore hit someone who did slow. It’s a chicken breaking the egg sort of problem.

Trying to teach my Puerto Rican wife how to pronounce Susquehanna (Sus-Qwa-Hanna). It’s not going well. 

For all you non-PA folks:

As much as I often complain about the tactics of the rich in avoiding and at times outright evading taxes with impunity I am completely with the boat owner here.

I was the 37th owner of a VW bus aboard the Naval Station at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba (before it became famous). The front face of the Type 2 had rusted away into shapes that were quite clearly teeth, it was missing about four feet of floor, and badly spray painted on the left side were the words “No Fat Chicks.” All…

Off-topic post here, but I was noticing Tom McFarland’s article a couple of posts down. I was wondering how a 44 minute-old story had nearly 200 comments. Then I saw that it was an update or a repost from April 2020. That aspect didn’t jump out at me from the headline of the story.

Stories of its unreliability are overblown and mostly centered around the Quad.

Pennsylvania really might as well be two (or even three) states so I’ll nominate the Pittsburgh Left. The way it works is this: If you’re at the front of the line to turn left at a light that doesn’t have a dedicated left turn arrow, the very split second the light turns green you put your foot to the floor and…

More importantly, DO NOT BUY A NEW CAR due to gas price swings, unless it’s worth about the same or less than the car you’re selling.

you can also find Chevy Bolts for under $25K, I personally got one in December (2017 bolt) for $22K out the door. 9600 miles on the OD, battery replacement is expected to be available in about five weeks which comes with a fresh 8 year warranty on the battery. the cars are great and under priced in a lot of the US…

Sorrysorrysorry. Typo on my part. I’ve now appended the C with a 3 and have shown 4 the door.

Am I tacky enough to pull this off? I like to think so.

It’s pretty easy. All you need to do is check under the dash and disconnect this...

Well, the Angry Whopper was the best thing, but yes, the Whopper is now the best thing there.

CUT MY SHIP INTO PIECES
IT DID NOT GET TO PORT

Yeah, I’m not sure the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame has earned Dolly Parton.

If the seller has to explain his art to you, you’ll never see the value in this. For those of us who see the art, it’s NP. It’s a toy and a rolling sculpture, and for those who fear dying in it all I can say is noone will ever force you to get in, sit down, shut up and hold on.

Nice price for the right buyer. Seller actually knows what he has and describes it as such...non-snarky version. I do wonder how many of the “right buyers” are left though...
