“Salvaged vehicles aren’t eligible for tags and registration in many states.”

They haven’t actively used the Pentastar logo for Chrysler for quite a long time. Chrysler uses a logo featuring a long set of wings with the CHRYSLER logotype in the middle in blue.

They’re also LED, which are pretty impact-resistant.

The sliding glass doors lead out into the garage, and the hoop is on the wall on the far side of the garage, above some aluminum texture plate for some inexplicable reason.

What refrigerator? There doesn’t seem to be an obvious fridge.

This reminds me of an episode of The Big Bang Theory, where Leonard was SO excited to show Penny an episode of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” expecting her to be as excited by it as he was, but she wasn’t, at all. She just couldn’t understand at all why he was so passionate about it.

People always make this mistake, but “bankruptcy” doesn’t always mean “dead.” In this case, they’re Chapter 11 Bankrupt, which means they’re going to negotiate with creditors to reorganize the debt, not that they’re discontinuing business.

The US-spec models are stripped commercial/fleet vehicles though. Anemic engine, hard plastic interior panels, stiff and flat seats, everything you expect of a commercial van and nothing more.

Mazda’s signature “Soul Red” color is pretty nice.

That’s a J1772 *and* a CHAdeMO port on there. No CCS (no DC fast charge pins) and no NACS.

I laughed when I saw a CHAdeMO port. To take a page from Mean Girls, “Stop trying to make CHAdeMO happen. It’s not going to happen.” Yes, they include a J1772 plug, but not a CCS1 plug, which means to do DC fast charging, you have to use the CHAdeMO port.

I 100% agree. He pointed out a lot of typical “first generation” car quirks/bugs, along with a couple of places where they’re just flat out trying new stuff to see if it sticks. Nothing that would seemingly lead to the description of “worst car I’ve ever reviewed,” at least unless you were a brand new car reviewer and…

NASA and SpaceX have been using it for the crewed flights. This is from Crew-1:

Not to be glib or anything, but Ramsey is best thought of as the personal finance equivalent of Alcoholics Anonymous. His advice is targeted primarily at people who are completely hopeless at managing their finances, and that are often so deep into debt they can’t see daylight.

If there was meaningful public transportation in most places in America, then sure. Unfortunately, there’s not, and without a car, for many that means no ability to get to work, no ability to get groceries, no ability to *function* in society.

I’m from Wisconsin. Part of the problem here is “The Tavern League,” a hugely powerful lobbyist group. They fight to keep laws related to alcohol lax and vastly favoring bars and taverns.

Parts of the Milwaukee metro area had AQI well over 300 yesterday, beating Chicago’s numbers handily. (Over 300 places it into the “hazardous” range.) It looked like it was foggy out, but that is all smoke.

It’s better said that it was pretty well believed since the first season, but never with direct first-person confirmation until now.

Fair enough, but I was referring to whether the showroom cars tend to sit for long periods of time, or if they’re turned over frequently. It might be more annoying to do things like disconnect the fuel pump if it’s something that comes in and out of the showroom on a very frequent basis, but if the car sits for longer…

How often are cars sold right off the showroom floor? If they don’t get sold all that often, an easy solution would be to disconnect the fuel pump on showroom cars. It’s something that could get hooked back up again if the car gets sold, it still lets you turn the car on to demonstrate the car’s electronics, and it…
