That’s a fair point, and she trades a bit in the esoteric, which fits with old school Jalopnik. To be honest her writing just isn’t for me (nothing personal, no authors are for everyone), thus the oversight.

Here’s the thing: you’re losing your last two authors that actually wrote with intensity and emotion for cars, rather than against cars. The last link to what Spinelli made.

Jeff should have thought about it? How about the shipyard, before they decided to build it?

Did you learn your debating skills from Trump? Because you definitely have a certain Trumpiness to you.

1st: Car makers want to sell what people are willing to buy. If people actually wanted lower end cars, they could charge another $1k for them and get the profit back, and be happy to sell them. But yet again, Raph pretends like supply and demand isn’t real.

Damage seems isolated to outer parts of fan blades? Might’ve gotten away without sucking anything into the core, which could make a huge difference.

Fonts match. Duh.

So if the arrow on the fuel gage tells you what side of the pump to go to, does this mean you need to flip the car to fill up?

I bought a new Trek around labor day after an incident with my old one. Originally, backordered until April. Got a call last week, pushed back to June.

They used to show up in a week. Nowadays...not so much.

Holy cow, you really ripped that strawman a new one.

Makes me wonder if that was lobbied for by the manufacturers or the dealers, though.

Part of the draw of full service restaurants is forcing you to slow down, having nothing to do but engage with the people you’re at the restaurant with.

Almost replicated the scene with the straps breaking and whatnot.

The Charger has to stick around as an EV, right? It and the Spark are like the two ICE models that don't need a dumb tacked on e prefix or something to transition to acceptable EV names.

The other thing I hadn’t factored in...holy crap these things are expensive. I’m decently grounded on non-powered bike costs, and figured $5k would be decently into the enthusiast range. I was wrong, looks like they’re well over double the cost of non e-bikes. Base aluminum Domane+ is something like $1800 more than…

You think the weight makes any difference in how deadly they'll be? Pretty sure you'd be just as dead getting hit by something the same shape and speed that weighed 3000 lbs.

At the same time...how many people are spending $5k (now $3.5k) on a bike but have a household AGI <$75k?

The problem is not taxing unrealized gains puts a cap, for all intensive purposes, on capital gains taxes. If you treat capital gains as normal income, you penalize realizing the gains, and would actually decrease tax revenue vs current capital gains levels. If you want taxes to actually be progressive, you need to…
