I mean, it is also the basis of law in this country,

But you didn’t say those things. Jalopnik connected the dots between a striking union member (“unworthy” class citizen) being hit and killed by a vehicle with the meteoric rise in protestors (“unworthy” class citizens) being rammed by vehicles in the past year.

It’s funny, because I had originally typed up a paragraph on the bullshit “innocent until proven guilty” response that certain groups apply voraciously to police and perpetrators of violence against “unworthy” groups, but sparingly to the victims of police shootings and other members of “unworthy” groups.

I’m not bringing in unrelated points like deaths during protests last summer.

Cars.com has 374 of them within 500 miles of me, 1564 nationwide. Maybe Carmax just doesn’t buy many Leafs?

Why do you think your preference for a version of the story that doesn’t involve intentional violence against a picketing union member is free from “an agenda?”

Any engine at a Pick N Pull type place is usually like $300 plus an hour or two of your time.

I guess I just don’t understand what “all the apps became internet centric” means when their huge, giant, primary money makers apps didn’t become web based for another two decades. Especially when Google gave online collaboration features to Excel in 2006 and then just replaced it with Google Docs a good 10 years…

It’s absolutely marketing, just like when Ford took the Raptor and the Bronco to the Baja 1000. They didn’t need to enter it into a race to get the data they needed, but I’ve seen so many people saying, “Wow! Ford really tests the shit out of them EcoBoost motors” that the marketing value of doing a stunt like that is…

back in the Nineties when Bill Gates saw the writing was on the wall for how the Internet was taking over software, so he slammed every Microsoft project to a halt so all the apps became Internet-centric

Aussie accents are easy, you just have to somehow use 4 syllables to say the word “no.”

Think of it this way - it will cost you $50,000 to build an electric vehicle with 200hp and a 500 mile range and in today’s market, you could sell a given quantity of that car for $55,000.

Identifying a standard-sized rectangle and a list of about 36 individual characters is pretty easy. Being able to identify if a group of pixels is a car or a bus or a person or Big Bird? That’s incredibly hard.

I’m not sure if you’re being serious here or just purposely obtuse in order to be contrarian. Maybe the rare GM fanboy defending your tribe?

I’m driving through the parking lot looking for a spot. BAM REVERSE LIGHTS ON. I stop. The subconscious associates reverse lights with danger. Then the conscious takes a moment to process your flowchart - are the brake lights on? Is the car available with a stick such that it could be in reverse with no brake lights on…

People keep going on about depreciation when it comes to “smart” choices with buying cars when the smart choice is not giving a shit because you plan to get almost all of the value out of the car before replacement.

They’re not at the bottom.

It was a lot less expensive, and vans are more useful. Plus, I won’t lose as much when it comes to resale.”

She left this summer.

Love the look. Unfortunately depending on the number of plates installed, the Supertrapp is either “quiet and severely choking the engine” or “LOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUDDDDDD.”
