I realize this is not answering the question, but, during a quick glance at the photo, I thought the items under the seat heaters (which is all I saw/focused on) were braille to help you find them.

Bait and Switch (before I knew what that was) on my used ‘96 Pathfinder SE.
Turns out he got the mileage and the price confused, which cost me about $1500.
I was young, dumb, and trusting.

I realize you may have just dropped that off the cuff, but that is EXACTLY what they should do with that exact name.
You just saved them a ton of money and got their marketing/consumer needs department fired.

IIRC, without any googling whatsoever, I believe they are a a pinched hose (or something) away from stupid horsepower for cheap.

Oh MY! The crushing weight of your internet logic is incredible! You are the best!
You have been awarded one million internets!

Or...
Or, you provided two reasons, which is not “several.”
And, I clearly think that when the two small actions you mentioned are weighed against the three (or, “several”, if you will) I…

Ah. The inevitable “butwhatabouts”
Well, you will have to decide for yourself how his failings weigh out and see if he is an idiot.
The 20 million might be a tough one for us, but that is kind of a rounding error for him, so....

Here is how I really feel about the “butwhatabouts”
“But what about all the hospitals,…

On an early-2000's whole-family visit to my brother in Denver, he decided to take us there because my niece was about 6 at the time.
I remember it as hot, cloying, and unbearably loud (as a nod to the real topic of the blog *wink*).
This visit was before I was diagnosed with sleep apnea, so I had no CPAP, and was pretty…

Two things:
1. That looks amazing

2. Casa Bonita.
No one: “Hey, what if we take Chuck-E-Cheese, but give it a meth-fueled atmosphere, terrify kids, and sell crappier food?”
Someone: “Make it so.”

While I haven’t had Salt Lick, I would proffer up Pecan Lodge as my favorite.
To be honest, though, the setting you described sounds like it would make any food better.

I am also considering a mid-life crisis BBQ road trip, so any other suggestions are welcome.  Virginia to Midwest and back.

“idiot billionaires....”
*checks notes*
Head of an insanely valuable car company that jumpstarted the fantasy of an EV future.... check
Making progress in re-using rockets, re-using rockets... check
Even if he didn’t do it himself, was smart enough to assemble teams to do it ... check

I can clearly understand not liking…

Rory, I would like someone to get into the BEV Wrangler mockup. A commenter (sorry, can’t remember who, or would give a hat tip) made a point about the transmission keeping the motor in an efficient range and the batteries being a known entity and highly swappable.

Can someone deep dive into that first?

The lead photo is a Delica 4x4.  Why did no one suggest that?  Mileage?

That was both prophetic and, at the same time, immediate....

For everyone that said, “No, there are a bunch near me”, I wonder:  Would you have bought one were there not?

TBF, how trained are you to see their sedans?  If I lived in a de-badged world, I would get maybe 3/20 sedans named correctly, and, if I got the marque, it would be because of how much the grill looked like one of their trucks....

And the Pathfinder Armada.
Oh, wait.... that became a thing...

Holy Crud. Nevada sucks. I thought I had it bad. I retract my hate for my utility.
As a Virginian, I can (and did) build an array that covers 150% of my annual usage. That leaves room (on purpose, from the state house) for future EV.
I have net metering, so I do pay $6.48 to remain attached to the grid, and $1.50 to my…

It is time for people to have more incentive to go solar. I don’t mind the 7-10 year ROI, as my emotional ROI is immediate.
Dispersing the pressure of the grid during peak usage (day) seems like a no-brainer for everyone except my state legislature, which is pretty much owned by our utility company.

Reverse: So, that is about 1/100,000 of the whole story, but, sure, Stephen Decatur.
The parts include “How the hell was the USS Philadelphia captured in the first place?” and “Why did you not mention the state-sponsored regime toppling that was going on at the same time?”
For anyone that would like Paul Harvey’s “the…

“Hey, who wants to ride with me to the testing grounds for jeeps built this century, but in a jeep designed in the first half of the last century?”
“No one? But I just rebuilt the frame with a Harbor Freight welder!”

Those vacations, even if I intertwined GoDevil with Postal.

In fairness, that sounds like a metric shit-ton of fun....
