I mean...if you have a better explanation for the absolute decimation of the G/O sites since the takeover I’m all ears. Readership is waaaay down. Comment sections either flooded with right-wing trolls or eliminated entirely. Page views have to be waaaaaay down. Like most failing companies, any employee with options…

You’d think that, wouldn’t you?

Cop pulls you over and accuses you of racing that Mustang at the stoplight next to you. “No I wasn’t,” you say. “Yes you were,” the cop says, “I could see you racing him.” Of course, you don’t have a dashcam, his cruiser was pointed the other direction, his body cam was turned off, etc. Blammo, your license is revoked…

That’s how it worked when I was growing up, my dad would get a shitty Escort or Taurus while his car was in the shop, but they don’t do that anymore.

What magical world do you live in where a warranty means any issue with the car are magically, immediately fixed? It must be great not having to worry about how you’re going to get to work or pick up your kids or drive to the grocery store while your “under warranty” car sits at the dealer for three weeks for the…

The 4C was the perfect car for that test - what’s a really lightweight car that people will think is fast but isn’t actually that fast in a straight line. It’s why they went with the slowest 911, since most people (myself included) couldn’t tell the difference between a Carerra and a Turbo S.

I’m under the impression that it’s a viable political power strategy to squash opposing voices and communities. Those idiots spent a billion dollars in 2020 to NOT get Trump elected, $19 million to kill dissenting voices is a drop in the bucket. Bonus points if they can pull in some ad revenue while they gut the sites…

I thought I saw a flash of an oil refinery in the trailer, kind of implying that fuel was still being produced, but access to it was controlled by a murderous cartel that manipulates the market and destroys lives in a bid for power. Kind of like today.

Killing the comment sections was part of the VC takeover plan to kill all of the G/O sites. You don’t want those sites building readership and community, you want to drive sports fans to Barstool, car fans to...any other car site, and Jezebel and The Root readers...off of the internet.

What? The Rivian is better on-road, waaaay better off-road, can tow more, it’s faster...how is it “less capable?” The bed is slightly smaller? 

Great info, thank you.

Leasing has become a popular way for customers to try out an electric vehicle without any long-term commitment.

Wait how is the first replay verified but the second isn’t?

Yeah I don’t get the distinction from the original author. The Explorer is an SUV on a Ranger frame, so an Explorer pickup is just a pickup on a pickup frame.

This is what’s called the government picking winners

Aftermarket lights on both the nose and tail, along with a bug-beater grille and bull bar with add-on LED lights help to dress it up, too.

Police departments apparently quite like the hybrid model because the cars often sit idle for long periods. Presumably the lithium battery allows officers to power the accessories without having the engine run as much, which reduces fuel consumption further and improves wear and maintenance costs.

My rule from the beginning is to get the EcoBoost for the Boost, not the Eco.

My Coyote F-150 cost less than half what they’re asking for this, and other than fitting into parking spots at Target, I’d wager it does all of the truck stuff much better than the Tacoma. ND.

Labor costs are 100% an input into the cost to do or build something. However, you can offset labor rates.
