My Hooptie Fleet is Boring

How about putting one two way bike lane on the far side of the parked cars and let the cars fight it out like gladiators?

Cycling is not a viable form of transit for most people, it is just a hobby. Maybe it is time to take your hobby off the road. Just like street racers in cars should take it to the track, so should cyclists. Stick to the park.

The overwhelming majority of people who claim to speak for the overwhelming majority don’t know what the overwhelming majority actually wants.

Over 60% short interest last I checked and some news (It isn’t actually that good of news, but more positive than before). Add to that panic covering and you have upward movement. Their EBITDA number is complete crap and they are still losing a ton of money. They are really only staying afloat at this point by selling

Buying car parts you don’t need? Consider running an opportunity cost analysis first. You’ll find that the $280 you spent on cheap car parts that sit on the shelf could have been used for a date and gotten you laid.

Here’s how the government keeps secrets.

Old news

As long as it fits into their option package schemes. Want no other options but vented seats?  i got BAD news for ya. 

I’m not convinced that all-electric is the technology of the future. Something better is on the horizon, and these all-electric vehicles will be a pariah to the environment when they reach their obsolete end-of-life.

Convenience. I can’t charge 10% battery to 100% in less than 5 minutes. Having to plan road trips around charging stations. I don’t like to linger. I pump gas, take a piss and/or shit, buy snacks, and get back on the road.

to the folks voting No Dice, I’ll refrain from the harsh words on my tongue and instead leave you with the words of el duderino

The folks who market these trucks know that 50% of truck buyers believe they are in the 2% who do hard-core offroading. It sells.

I suppose that is fair enough. I am definitely an outlier. I bought my truck when I first graduated high school. I turn 46 in a few months. I have had this truck longer than I have been married to my wife and so there is a lot of nostalgic feelings for it to me. Probably be buried in the thing. I just really wish

Big whoopty do. Another overly aggressive looking “ Mid” sized truck that costs as much as a full sized truck. I can easily afford one of these but will keep driving my 27 year old, 4 banger Tacoma in protest. This is getting to be beyond stupid.

The ultimate Ranger already exists. 

Opposite. Many LE vehicles are run 24 hours between the 2 12 hour shifts (save for Sheriffs/Servers/Chiefs), and the evening folks often spend less time at the station/dispatch. You might have 15 officers rotating about 4-5 vehicles... and those include “spares”. We did often about 90-120 miles per day per car but

The genius of the Prius is still not quite appreciated. Not only for things like this, but for just how bulletproof they are. It’s even more impressive when you think of how new hybrid technology was when it came out. It’s about the cheapest non-EV you could possibly own - I know I miss my ‘04 terribly. 

the other option is to steal one on another Prius!

HD should make a commercial featuring a trans person... they’d all be forcefully returned in record time.

You realize that the power generation plants needed to power the battery chargers use far more energy than those “gas-guzzling trucks” (I won’t go into the details of the environmental disaster the rare-earth mines are). Those battery charging stations aren’t powered by rainbows and unicorn farts. It’s usually going
