Same. I’m a bleeding heart, but I worked retail in SoCal for 20 years until this past October when I moved to NC, and modt of these people aren’t stealing shit like this (or from brick & mortar) because they need to, it’s because they can.

Given stop signs aren't always 4-way stops, I'm also curious how that would work. Would the car just roll out into cross traffic if the intersection had poor visibility?

Emphatic no on letting cars make the decision to break traffic laws. I’ve never done a California roll (if I’m getting ticketed, it’s for something good, damnit!) and it pisses me off when people do it me when I have the right away.

I love the guy's copy n paste replies 😂

Worked at a Toyota dealership that would be used cars at auto auctions regardless of the manufacturer, too.

I see them every now & then and always forget to Google it. Whoever designed that logo should be fired.

My parents had one w/a manual transmission that I eventually learned to drive stick on and I don’t remember thinking anything bad about the engine. Certainly not the fastest thing on the road, but never expected a SUV to be that back then. And I had plenty to compare it to: worked at a Toyota dealership in HS and…

Let’s be honest. They write these blogs like this knowing people will hate click & rage read. Don't see the difference between that & the sites that do fluff pieces for Tesla.

A country that doesn’t awful things to human beings AND is run by corrupt politicians??? It’s so bad that even Musk will do business there! Wait...

Lets be honest: He wanted the attention.

We've come to the point where I trust China more than a Musk run company, yes. Ironic.

And I sure as shit am not trusting Caltrans to be on top of their game, especially during something like a snowstorm. If they're closing major roads, why would anyone with a functioning brain cell think country roads will be fine??

If you need to be a local to know that if a major roadway is closed due to the storm, side roads are going to be in worse shape, then you should just turn in your license & sell your car(s) because you shouldn't be driving.

At this point you just need Google to create brain implants to give you common sense, because clearly you can’t think for yourself if you look at THE major roadway being closed & think “You know, it’s a good idea to head down side roads. In the mountains. During a snowstorm.”

You used the key word: tool. A tool assists you in getting a task done, it doesn’t do the task for you. Hitting yourself with a hammer because you're being careless & not using the tool properly isn’t the hammer’s fault, now is it?

Because China is shitty, everyone should be shitty? Can’t imagine how letting billionaires do what they want would backfire in any way.

I also can’t imagine why China might not want to have their citizens die in orbit. You can say what you want about their govt, but “lol fuck the lives of Chinese astronauts” isn’t exactly the brave stance you think it is.

“Yeah, what kind of tool wants to spend less time & money getting a fully charged battery than filling up a gas tank?”

That I get. I can think of a dozen scenarios off the top of my head where you’re sitting in your car just trying to kill time. The whole “while driving” is what kills me.

3. FM signal & music options were/are god awful in LA (I like hard rock & metal, nothing remotely close to that out there) and I enjoy the occasional road trip. I haven't listened to terrestrial radio in my car in at least 8 years.
