He really took DeJoy out of the job.

You know what? I think a responsible chuckle and genuine upset are BOTH valid reactions. The kids are all right.

“They just don’t have the infrastructure to do it at these ancient post offices.”

Rural carriers here in Iowa supply their own vehicles. Lots of Subarus and late-model Cherokees, but I’ve seen a RHD Landcruiser, too. I wonder if there’s some flourishing underground rural mail carriers’ marketplace specializing in JDM SUVs?

This is exactly what first should be electrified: any vehicle that runs the same limited route, day after day, and returns home to recharge each night. Every mail truck, school bus, city bus should be an EV ASAP.

I would argue that the appearance is a feature, not a bug. For a vehicle aimed at such a dedicated use, having an unusual look is a big plus. You immediately know what it is, and you have a good idea of what it is likely to do. Sometimes I come up on the white vans that USPS is using now and I don’t know just it’s…

Someone needs to take about a hundred of these to some small south Pacific Island and arrange them in lines to really confuse archaeologists 500 years from now.

So DeJoy got something right with these new trucks; doesn’t erase his fuckery prior to the last election. He’s gotta go.

Woke and Asleep are natural enemies! Like Englishmen and Woke! Or Welshmen and Woke! Or Japanese and Woke! Or Woke and other Woke! Damn Woke! They ruined Wokeland!

For something as essential and utilitarian as a postal truck, it’s nice that appearance was the least important factor and they went all in on function. Hopefully, the reliability is just as good as the form factor.

They’re goofy looking, but honestly pretty endearing, and being purpose-built whilst also increasing safety and comfort is a huge win. 

The Mercedes 500 E deserves a spot. Just the complexity of how it had to be shipped back and forth from Mercedes to Porsche and from Porsche to Mercedes in order to shoehorn that torquey 5.0 L V8 into the W124 engine bay that was never designed for it, plus the subtly enlarged wings and higher performance than the…

The real comedy here is that I bet Musk had no idea you could do this. He moved heaven and earth to make a grade of SS steel that was cheap enough for production but also wouldn’t corrode too quickly. Turns out they could have just wrapped standard automotive steel for a fraction of the engineering/material cost, and…

That doesn’t count either, it’s a liftback.

I’m sorry, but if it has FWD, it doesn’t count. FWD can’t match the performance of RWD.

That’s an insult to dip shits.

$4200 to wrap a vehicle that’s all flat panels. There are ZERO complex curves or body lines to follow. This is the automotive equivalent of wrapping a boxed birthday present.

$4,200 on making it look exactly the same.

BMW never made an E46 M3 sedan, but they sure did make an E90 M3, and it’s glorious.
