This old man is still waiting for his nuclear powered flying car. Wait.

Self driving will get here someday. I think some Scandinavian will be a test country for the world. They have the money and a small enough nation to try it. I only hope it comes in time for my car to drive me to the doctor when I am no longer able to drive. 

Apple making a car? Sounds so familiar to this Boomer. General Electric (GE), once was raking in so much money that they invested in things they weren’t even familiar with, and hence were not good at. That once highly prized generational company is now a shell of it’s former self. Apple should be wary of what they…

Since everyone uses the roads and bridges, make sure everyone pays their fair share by including a per mile driven tax on electric vehicles in addition to raising the gas tax. Those gas tax revenues are only going to go down as people adopt EVs

Ugly then, ugly now. No dice.

Tesla is indeed here to stay. But I doubt our electric grid can keep up with the adoption of electric cars in the long run. Here in Southern California we can’t even keep the power on on a windy day. We have rolling blackouts during peak demand periods and the cost of our electricity is one of the highest in the…

Leave it running, at a liquor store, in a bad neighborhood, and they still won’t steal it. Damn it! How can I get someone to steal MY car?!!

GM to make Hondas and Acuras? There goes their reputation for quality.

When I was a kid back in the 60's we were supposed to have nuclear powered flying cars by the year 2000. Still waiting. I would like to have a self driving car on long drives up I-5 when I go from LA to Oregon. I often wonder how I got home while paying so little attention to driving. Self driving cars will eliminate…

In order to buy an electric car I would first need to be connected to the grid. My solar system + battery storage does not even allow me to run an electric dryer. After that I would need to have trust in the grid. I live in a high fire danger area in California and they can’t even keep the lights on during a windy…

As a California desert guy, about once a month. But it only stays looking clean until I drive it down my dusty dirt road.

F-16. What a great fighter plane that one is. Oh, this isn’t Planeopolik? Never mind.

They are old small trucks, mainly Toyotas, some Rangers, S-10's, and a few Mitsubishi’s, and Nissan’s. None of these vehicles rust and parts are still widely available. They are widely preferred by gardeners and pool guys.

I replaced my 40k mile Tempo p.o.s. with a Toyota drivetrain ‘88 Chevy Nova and put 318,000 miles on it with no major repairs. It still had life left in it when I gave it away.

You got that right. Tesla has made very little profit on actually making cars, rather they get millions of $$$ in carbon credits and most of their vehicles came with a $7,500 credit from uncle Sam. Someday the playing field will be even and Tesla will be at the mercy of their shareholders too.

Our first new car an 84 Ford Tempo with the slogan ‘The quality goes in before the name goes on’ had three transmission jobs in the first 36,000 miles, other troubles too numerous to mention. Got rid of that and got a Toyota built Chevy Nova that we put 311,000 miles on without any major repairs. Why anyone would buy…

A discussion about turn signals? Really? I think Jason needs to get a life.

1st gear- Erik wants to see Peugot back in America? There’s a reason they aren’t here anymore. They make funny looking cars that no one wants, and besides no one knows how to spell ‘Pujoe’. Maybe we’ll get a Stellantis, at least I can spell that one.

Taco still winning makes sense to me. You get a quality built truck that’s almost indestructible, and it holds it’s value. Now if someone could just come here with a bare bones small pickup for the rest of us schmucks they could sell a ton of those too. Hi-Lux?
