ALLLRIGHT! Time to get that $60,000.00 C8 Corvette.... what... why are you guys laughing?

“they have to because growth must always go up.”

Nah, they’ll probably find a way to blame the strike. Prices always go up; they have to because growth must always go up.

$5000 taillights aren’t helping either:

Insurance is ballooning out of control to compensate.

I know I hate it when the bad dentists and school teachers force me out of my car at gun point because they confused my car with a different one or because I had a broken tail light.

If it saves thousands of lives, passengers don’t need it either. 

Here’s a hot take that I’ll die on:

Let’s go back to The Three Ds of wrecks : Density, Disparity, and Drunkenness. We have a marked increase in all three, and getting worse these past couple years. The quality of average American’s driving has definitely declined a LOT since Covid; but I wonder if it really reflects (1) ability or (2) willingness to…

I can tell you didn’t read this article. 

That is 100% not true. Fuel economy is directly related to carbon emissions. Going 60 is far better for emissions than 80. 

No you see, Microsoft are uniquely prohibited by law from engaging in anti-union activities, which makes them the most friendly by default.

One of the least consumer/union friendly companies is now owned by one of the most.

It makes you think that just maybe OSHA and various safety regulations are a Good Thing. I worked in an office (cubicle) and laboratory environment. We had strict safety rules such that even step ladders required an annual inspection. There was an annual test of e-stop buttons for AC power in the labs. Nobody ever got…

Any mechanical thing can have a failure - but the vastly overwhelming majority of the time it is user error. As I have no doubt it was this time. Whoever put the car on the lift did not take into account the radically different weight distribution of the Corvette compared to anything else that Chevy sells, and put the…

I’m an IT consultant. I did a gig last winter at a nickel mine in Michigan. Even as an IT consultant who was going nowhere but the office building that was NOWHERE near the mine or any of the equipment, I had to go through their whole 2hr safety training program before I could set foot further than the guard shack for…

A lot of my firm’s clients are industrial services companies working in refineries, petrochem plants, large manufacturing plants, etc. and the focus on safety is insane. They work hundreds of thousands of hours in hazardous environments without a single injury, and when one does happen the response is a massively…

It’s amazing the difference between training and rules for industrial environments and a typical car shop.

because literally doing an oil change could be life and death.
