while technically accurate, the title of the article is the definition of click bait given that she is not even in custody. 

Have a 2008 cts with sunroof; i concur. Took it to the dealer to clear the clogged drain tubes. They got it half right (and have a few other screw-ups). Now i don’t drive it in the rain.

It was the difference that got me into a Volt in 2018. Feds gave us $7,500 (off my own tax debt, thank you very much), PA gave us $1,000 (but it’s considered taxable income by the feds), and our local utility even kicked in $50.

With the 2018 tax bill’s $10,000 SALT cap and the increased standard deduction, the mortgage interest deduction has effectively been eliminated. Same with HELOC interest.

Yes but maybe no. Having been raised in Philly and now living in a burb, on a cul-de-sac, behind a strip mall, I see your point about what it would mean if I drove to center city every day...gridlock, pollution, etc. Efficient cities include public transit and that’s what I do almost every day. One of our cars is a…

Maybe not “serious” sports sedan but I still have good memories of my ‘84 cross-branded “Datsun/Nissan” RWD Maxima with a 2.4l fuel injected Z-derived straight six, five speed, IRS and disc brakes at all four corners (all a big deal in 1984). It even had a voice-alert powered by a phonograph!

Volt owner here (who happens to live near a coastal city)...and I concur. PHEV’s have an image problem as marketers have not communicated their utility very well and consumers have gnat-like attention spans. GM’s voltec architecture needs to be enhanced, not shelved...especially (but not exclusively) for…

Volt owner here (2018) and I concur. It is an awesome car and I’m torn between enjoying that and my 6-speed manual CTS. Nirvana would be a manual EV/plug-in but I know that makes little sense...but who doesn’t want the best of both worlds?

I don’t necessarily disagree with you but don’t forget that a lot of us suburban, garage-and-EV (or plug-in hybrid) owners commute to our city centers via light rail. My daily commute to Philly is a 12-mile round trip to the train...and that is with passing two closer rail-stops. For the thousands of suburban folks…

Maybe a rotary range extender sports car? https://jalopnik.com/mazda-officially-announces-the-return-of-the-rotary-eng-1829459947

Not impossible to stop the majority of this behavior. It’ll (continue to be) slow-going, but the spotlight and associated broad cultural shift will help.

My 120 HP straight 6 maxima was super lux for it’s day. It was an ‘84 manual with F.I, IRS, and (if I remember correctly) four wheel discs. It also talked to me via a phonograph of sorts. I got it used at 5 years old (and I was 20) and all my friends were asking who was making the payments on this thing. That was a…

Had HUD in our 2004 Buick Rendezvous. It was the best feature on the car which would have made a great starter car for my kids until the 3.6 timing chain gave it up at 130k. It was only a $3-$4,000 option so why should I be salty?  

my house is over 50 and we recharge our Volt every night on a standard outlet. Yes, it’s not a full EV but we’ve done 10,000 this year and I don’t think we’ve put 30 gallons of gas in it. We do have other ICE cars (we’re a family of 5) but the Volt has been doing the lion’s share of our local trips. If people could…

jimmy carter was elected in Nov. ‘76 and was sworn in 1/20/1977.  This mustang (and it’s contemporaries) were on the drawing board 5 years earlier.

‘18 Volt owner here and I concur for the 2nd car argument (esp. for us suburbanites with garages). While I know it’s not a full BEV, we’ve put gas in it about three times in 2019 and have driven about 7,000 miles. One of those gas-station stops was just to show my learning-to-drive teen how to put gas in a car so it…

“We need to come up with a new word for these arrangements. Partnerpetitors? Something like that, but better.”

Correct in that Enron was a public company and there was lots of shenanigans including encouraging EES to invest all their 401k $$ in the co. stock. A better example is converting to an ESOP (employee stock ownership company). I work for one where the owner didn’t want to sell to his competitors but wanted to cash out…

I’m a biased Volt owner but it appears that a plug-in hybrid would align very well with your commute. I’d guess that 80 - 90% of your commute, each way, would be on battery. I commuted in pure elec. mode almost 20 miles from my house in the burbs to downtown in stop-and-go traffic and only used about 5 miles in elec.…

I hope so but my small sample set of teens (my 13, 16 and 17 year olds) all see every two-box suv as mom-mobiles and want to drive my gen 2 CTS. Part of that is the novelty of the stick but they could be on to something.
