Just so you know, Brooksville is not really close to Tampa. It’s about 50 miles away from the Tampa International Airport, so your headline is really kind of wrong, in as much as this was at a tiny airport that serves no commercial airplanes and is not affecting any passenger service out of Tampa.

Well, it turns out that what ordinary people think will not work often does, and quite well. Florida learned that with “Divergent Diamond” interchanges. Those have traffic go effectively to the opposite side of the road, then cross back, to allow easy access to on/off ramps. People thought that the world would end and…

Use it. It’s a plate.

Just a minor correction, but the Florida Highway Patrol trooper and the DUI driver who was driving into the 10K race were both female, rather than your using male pronouns. That trooper risked her life, so the least you could do is not misgender her. 

The elephant in the room is that most parents think their children are not acting up or misbehaving when in fact, they are.

1st Gear: No Handshakes

The cost of doing nothing will be greater than the cost of updating the current grid to meet future needs. 

The shows are amazing and the crowds love the shows.

HOAs make some sense for condominiums, but not for larger housing developments where there are detached single family homes on separate lots. Condos and co-ops are shared ownership of the buildings and property, with individuals controlling the interior space of the unit they purchase. Truly shared spaces, like…

Gotta say that the Publix cakes are a necessity for any and all birthday celebrations. They are consistently good, readily available, and can be decorated to suit the occasion and celebrant. The only person that I can think of that didn’t want a Publix birthday cake for his party was my nephew, and what he wanted was…

I see a couple of Lucids around Sarasota, so they are selling, albeit slowly. But then, there is ZERO advertising for Lucid, and if you ask most EV luxury buyers what is available, Lucid probably never gets mentioned. Audi, Mercedes, and Porsche all have good EV sedans, along with Tesla, and those are models available…

Big whooping deal.

Technically, yes. That trailer/car combo was not huge, but then, it was 15 feet for the car plus another 10 or so for the trailer behind it with the tongue and hitch included, so about 25 feet of vehicle, with 6 wheels rather than 4. Overall size is still larger than most single passenger vehicles. Not the 70 feet of…

For debate, let’s call a large load anything that is within 75% of maximum payload of the vehicle in question. Overloaded cars get less mileage the same as a fully loaded pickup. Put 5 occupants with luggage in a sedan or SUV and see how mileage goes down, regardless of power source. But, in the case of a full car or…

...cue the “But I tow stuff thousands of pounds thousands of miles every day with my current F150/Silverado/Tundra/Ram and can gas it up in 5 minutes on any street corner” folks....

Yes, all true. But this is not so much about technology taking over jobs, so much as it was a hotline being replaced by technology not able to handle the job.

No, they do not misunderstand the buying public. They manipulate them, but they understand them fairly well. This is just one of the few times where common sense from the public overrode the marketing blitzes aimed at making the public want to buy the vehicles with the greatest profit margin, not the most practical or…

Maybe not rural Florida, but central and south Florida see quite a few Rivians on the roads. I agree that this is a case similar to the uptake on Teslas, with a the first year or two rarely seeing one outside a major urban area to today where you see them everywhere.

Guess what? If the guy would have been wearing a hat with the logo of an unauthorized brand of automotive product (one not advertising on MT), it would have been blurred out in post-production if they didn’t make him take it off before filming. Same if he would have had a T-shirt on that said “fuck” or something…
