The H1B visa thing should tell you exactly what Trump is going to do here. He doesn’t GAF about his base. What did he do when they blew up about the visas? Did he pander to them and stand up to Musk? No, he flooded the zone with bullshit about Greenland and the Panama Canal.

You jest, but I think that is the exact thought process.

And when Florida is fully underwater, we can send everyone to Greenland. Like our own little Australia for meth heads. 

Sorry, I had to.

On the other hand, I’ve had ‘Tom Sawyer’ stuck in my head for the past two weeks...

I’m solidly GenX and I hate that. 

As a resident of the Boomer/GenX cusp who recently bought his first car with a touch screen, all I can say to manufacturers is they oughta get folks with bifocals to test their cars. The touch screen in my Mazda sits precisely in the zone where I can’t see it clearly with either lens of my bifocals.

I’ll gladly be the youngest millennial boomer out there and say it sucks.

Took my elderly father in the EV and newer ICE. He thought it was a technological marvel I used Siri to text a family member. He was fine with that, but when the car gave directions to his friend’s house he totally freaked the F out. “How does ‘that woman’ in the phone know where I’m going....government satellites?…

It’s funny how the dealers that I trust the least are Dodge/Ram/Jeep dealers. I swear that the car dealership in Fargo was based on a Dodge/Ram/Jeep dealer.

Dude, you’re going to need a lot more than engine to beat a literbike. Especially with a FWD car. Not only will you have to deal with the substantial powertrain losses with a transverse gearbox, you’re going to have to deal with keeping it alive behind four figures of horsepower.

V6 pony car was only to have me remind them a v6 Camry was quicker

I’m only 6', and for me it’s the PEDALS. Wearing a size 13 shoe, using the pedals requires some pretty slim shoes in order to not hit the throttle when braking. At 6'8", that’s gotta be at LEAST a size 15. Another issue I had with the ND Miata (haven’t driven an NA-NC) as well as my own Mazda 6 is that they have…

I feel like this is a really big and unachievable ask

I hope I don’t either. But I’m not sure. Much like Nickelback albums, someone is buying them.  Statistically, some of them are people I know.

I know of no rational human being that could financially support that POS by buying a Tesla.

20 to 30% growth? This dude just makes shit up constantly.

Wait...I thought we were done with slideshows in 2025??
