My God. Looking at Mike then and Mike now is like looking in a fucking mirror. And it doesn’t make me feel better about myself at all. 2015 Mike was so young, and chipper, and full of optimism. 2021 Mike looks like he’s been through a pandemic with a kid or two and is just trying to survive. He’s lived through a Trump

I saw this in a movie about a bus that had to speed around the city, keeping its speed over fifty, and if its speed dropped, the bus would explode. I think it was called “The Bus That Couldn’t Slow Down.”

I was more surprised by the 40% aware of Toyota’s non-existing BEV.

It’s worth noting that Chev still has a stop-sale in place on the Bolt, so advertising doesn’t make sense. Promoting something you can’t sell is a recipe for disaster.


Lol, do 17% of people in the world have their head in the sand?

In a perverse way, this is exactly why I have one on order. I decided I wanted to take advantage of the massive trade-in value of my truck, and I wanted to take further advantage of both federal and territorial subsidies here in the Yukon.

“You’re the tenth person I’ve told today, there’s no demand for it!”

Well IMACHUD might not have been available, so...

Automatic No Dice the moment I see this crap at the bottom of an ad:

All those options, and they still couldn’t spring for the HID headlights?

counterpoint: this is a cheap place to take a penalty in order to have 2 almost new engines to choose from over the final 3 races. this is a strategic decision to maximize their opportunity to win the championship.

I’m surprised more companies with an interest in EVs aren’t letting customers experience them first hand for free to increase business.

I’d be interested to hear if anyone has actually used it with success.

My wife may be buying this in the next couple years to replace her Impreza. God those wheel arches are absolutely hideous though. If she gets this it’s going to a body shop immediately to fix them. I don’t care if it’s paint or wrap, they are getting color matched.

These fucking adds have to stop. Half my phone screen occupied by bullshit adds. Literally, I can’t even see what I’m typing right now because the upper fucking half is add and the bottom is my keyboard. Getting to be useless on a phone.sometimes less is more. And fuck these adds.

I’m OK with being called an idiot. I was an idiot. I’m also nearly 11 years sober, which doesn’t invalidate my misdeeds but at least shows that I did, in fact, address my alcoholism.

maybe easy pickings that could save 10K lives a year should be celebrated AND we should demand more?

i can’t imagine what galaxy brain you gotta have to argue that we shouldn’t try to save 10,000 lives a year because something else kills more people.  do you also sit down to chew gum?
