I’ll sweeten the pot.
If you can refute me with Erin’s article and/or her body of work, I would love to see it.
I will also not respond, so you can get in the last word.

For the Georgia Hazards... Does that state require a safety inspection?  It may be their way of saying their tires are balder than Pam Anderson from her eyelids down.

I had a 96 200SX SE-R (still a Sentra, but a coupe with the bigger motor). I dreamed of trillions of horsepower after I turbo’ed it (shop turbo’ed it) and ordered a 3-puck clutch to keep myself from rocketing to Mars (shop installed that).
What was I left with?  A supply of at least two spare clutch cables at all…

Isn’t Montana the state where rich people hide assets because of tax laws? Build your hunting ranch, but live in it less than 6 months, no property tax. Register your Bugatti there, no tax.
I’m not picking on Montana, just offering a reason he could be there.

Just Devil’s Advocate again...
Not being able to mod a car will kill whole industries.
Nothing will stop car manufacturers from selling Brodozing Canyoneros as a trim option.
Forcing federal regulation means someone has to enforce it. I see that as problematic.

In reality, I love that you are considering the how; that is…

Sure.
If we are all done with insults, I am politely asking you to refute anything I said by referring to the article in question, like I did.
The summary would be this: “Erin predictably writes SJW articles with weak tie-ins to the automotive world.”
That is not a judgement against her writing, just an assertion.

No, there doesn’t.

As a devil’s advocate, who determines what is ‘safe’ and ‘safe for who’? Headlights? I get it, but as Jalopnik has reported in the past, there are very few rules in the federal book of rules about headlights. That could change.

Oh. I see. So, “dumber than a box of hammers” it is, then.
“I don’t know where you got the idea that I had any desire to hear your inane explanation”
Dude. YOU replied to ME; that’s where.
It bothered you enough to reply, but can’t possibly be interesting once you realize you are wrong and outmatched?
Strong.
Since you…

False. I can make you understand, one question at a time. Answer these and see where we end up.
1. What is the main focus of the story?
2. Is the Ford plant part of the main focus or an irrelevant detail?
3. Would we have gotten the same story if it was a Nabisco plant, for example?


Answer Key:
1. Social Justice/Injustice…

For you, I will use small words.
Ford is mentioned (that means “talked about”) twice in the article and once in the heading. There are 15 paragraphs, including the ones that mention Ford, in the article. If you do what I am assuming is “hard math,” for you, most of the article is not about Ford. Upon closer inspection,…

So, did everyone get everything out of their system? You all sure did make a lot of assumptions about a person that you know from less than a hundred words. I can’t stand when people reply to individual posts, so I won’t do it either. Knappsterbot, you just happened to win the “pick one” lottery. So, for everyone…

This is a social justice article on an automotive enthusiasts website with a thin veneer of justification because it is Ford moving in.

They weren’t on Endor.  They were on its fourth moon.

Um.  I have never heard of this, and I now need to watch all of it.

There’s a machine?
I’ll be in my bunk.

I couldn’t tell.  Is the Indy system going to be KERS-like?  If so, then the ovals.... well, the DO brake a little bit on the ovals...

Nah, for 11k more, you can get the PHEV version, which allows 96 furlongs of electric drive.  Stellantis will trot them out and claim they are saving the world by going green.

So those same Stellantis results point to a 2022 or 2023 BEV Jeep, with no information on model (if it isn’t even a new one) or models.
I can’t quite see the BEV Wrangler yet for “Jeepy” purposes. For people that live close to their mud/rocks/beach, it may be great. I have to drive a minimum of 70 miles to get to my…

Ah, how the written word is so bereft of richness when tone, body language, and volume are missing.
First, welcome out of the greys.
Second, that he used the incorrect word is not an opinion; it is a fact.
Third, I was being kind to him, relative to what the norm is here, generally, and, at worst, coldly informative to…
