Maybe this is a magic car.  Every time you need a part it will appear in the glove box.

Sorry. Lack of coffee and slight hangover.

This car’s value as a special interest vehicle hinges solely on its condition relative to every other shitpile Bravada on the planet. And that value is “scrap”. This era of midsize GM trucks are creaky heaps of dog doo. Uncomfortable, noisy, ugly, and chintzy reminders of GM’s long spiral into hell. Maybe in another…

the root cause of the issue though was that the car companies were too quick to cancel large orders of chips at the start of the pandemic for fear of looking bad to wall street by carrying too much inventory. when they did that, the companies who had been nursing along the old fabs to build those chips said “finally!”…

Buy David Tracy’s LX and use the leftover five figure budget to handle any deferred maintenance and pay for gas.

We got ourselves a BMW Stan over here. Its fucking ugly and everyone knows it. The exterior sucks and that interior looks cramped as hell for what little it has going on there. Maybe its the angle but I feel claustrophobic just looking at it. I know fake leather is in for EVs these days as well but maybe BMW can pick…

Jason, I’m really concerned about how much driving you did in this thing with your vision as impaired as it clearly is.

But it’s true, not snark. At a certain point we have to make the hard decisions, like, a 4000 pound, 19 foot long vehicle is sub-optimal for commuting into a congested city and we can’t keep making allowances for said vehicles just because we’re afraid of inconveniencing someone.

chill out. the expensive shit comes first, then the cheaper vehicles. let the rich folk pay to be beta testers and finance the initial tooling and growing pains.

These cops sure as hell seem to rally behind “cop safety” when it means violating citizens’ human rights, racial profiling, and funding, but when it comes to something as simple as a free vaccination: “Nope, we couldn’t possibly do that!”

Dan Savage of all people had the greatest argument of all time for improving public transit: It allows city governments to tell people who complain about the traffic to shut up, because we built a better solution. Don’t like the traffic? Take the train.

No, a wider pipe that is still clogged just holds more water when clogged. Widening roads barely changes the throughput when there’s massive chokepoints at the exits and ends. All you do is get more people stuck in traffic and sometimes even worsen it through unsafe or short merges

You know what really helped traffic…

They are countless studies showing that widening highways only release traffic jam temporarily and traffic jam are back again. You actually just mentioned one of the biggest issue that “America” is facing, sprawling is just not viable economically on the long term. Public transportation and increase density are part…

it doesnt help traffic at all. the only thing that does is eliminating stops. 190 in central tx went from 2 lanes to 3 and rush hour lasted just as long. then they built a loop around copperas cove and you can barely tell when people get off work. they also changed the exits from ft hood and made the exits turn into…

There’s snow on the ground in one of the pics. So probably taken late March at the most recent?

I wish I could float this comment to the top

Everybody in this story is awful and problematic. No heroes here; every one of them is reeking with privilege with no sense of self-awareness. None of them is competent enough to find their ass with both hands. HOWEVER, that highlighted part is GOOD and should be etched into the man’s gravestone along with every…

Thank you for sharing this interesting information. My dad and I used to work on Type 4s, specifically the wagons. I think he got bored with the automatic and moved a manual from a two door type 412 to his personal 412. The kids at school would make fun of that car but I loved listening to the shifting of the gears.…

A reasonable person can be pro-union and anti-UAW.
