The thing is, adding charging infrastructure is relatively easy. Most large buildings already have 3-phase power run to them for a level 3 charger, and every residential building has at least the capacity to be wired for level 2 chargers at the parking spaces. They may cost a couple grand a pop, but that’s around 5%…

Seems like you’ve misplaced the responsibility here. A requirement that is available to you for free and might save your life isn’t that much of a lift. If you don’t fulfil that requirement, then you are responsible for not having a job, not the government. Another way to look at it: the protection for renters is…

Just get the vaccine. Don't be a crybaby about it

Nobody’s talking about killing them, buddy. Just refusing to allow them in spaces where they might harm other people.

Oh, what a tragedy, someone might require you to not kill your neighbors through negligence. However will you survive?

4th Gear: We need to stop playing with the anti-vaccine people. You don’t want to get vaccinated? You’re not welcome in public, government buildings, or workplaces. We cannot tolerate plague rats.

Reverse. I love Caddy’s history.

1st: Every time I hear someone in the industry championing “mobility” I want to scream. They are running a grift, even if they don’t realize it.

Thousandths of a hogshead.

K. But they are very similar and taste like them.

Anything that tries to force me to use Doordash, or any of these other bullshit rent-seeking third-party ‘disruptive’ apps (Uber Eats, GrubHub, Deliveroo) can go fuck itself. These guys are no better than Yelp at attempting to insert themselves between a consumer and people who actually MAKE A PRODUCT and trying to…

This is the story of K, my brother-in-law’s sister. K is not a smart person, everyone in the family knows this. K is Florida Woman. She was especially dumb in her high school/post high school years when this story takes place.

Maybe not their first car, but when I was a sophomore in college I was packing up my stuff into a friend’s van at the end of the semester preparing to move back home for the summer when a young woman lugged a huge suitcase down from her dorm to the 1st gen MR2 parked next to us and proceeded to open the trunk, stare…

I also knew a kid who got a brand new woody Jeep Wagoneer, his brother got an Audi 4000 Quattro, a couple kids got mercs or dad’s old bmw 320i (e22 gen).

honestly, the poor kids cars were much cooler - a ‘71 cuda 340, ‘67 fastback mustang with the straight 6 and a 3 speed stick, several bugs, a ‘74 Caddy deVille with…

Long story, so apologize for this:

So true, whenever I see a kid out in his driveway detailing and waxing a car with 3 different color body panels. “Yup, kid worked and saved for that POS”

Had a 16yo kid total his brand new Neon SRT4 when he tried to run over me at a stoplight. He was drag racing out of his HS parking lot and failed to notice the line of cars stopped at the red light. Plastic, foam, coolant, and oil were everywhere. Hood was folded up like a tent. Kid was white as a ghost.

They should have replaced it with a bus pass 

I suppose anything, really. I feel like a lot of kids will respect their car more if they save up for and purchase it themselves - some people had cars bought for them and just...destroyed those things.

having grown up in a town full of rich people in the 80's (and near NYC), there were a lot of kids who got Z28s and Trans Ams on their 16th birthday (often before they even had a license). many of them were totaled before their 17th.

I grew up in the school district where Sung Myung Moon’s family lived, and his son…
