Yeah, did they compensate for any increase in the number of drivers or miles driven? Researchers can be shockingly bad at statistics.

For fake hood scoops, Miata is never the answer.

I’ll bet that after the fact, they went back and discovered where the problem occurred and when it was corrected. As some have suggested, a robot welding problem where something was moved from where it was supposed to be, so the weld ended up in the wrong spot. With automated assembly, there will be a log tracking…

Yeah, I noticed that there was no mention in the procedure of any after welding rust inhibiting actions. You know, like cleaning and painting the bare metal. That would concern me if I owned one of those Jeeps.

I think OP’s concern is a reaction from the flu shot because he has had GBS. Since GBS is an autoimmune disease, perhaps a flue shot could trigger another reoccurrence.

To be fair, you shit on UA specifically. You could have made the joke generic, but no, you picked on UA. Plus I think it’s unlikely Steve737 works for United; AFAIK they fly Airbus.

He couldn’t make it reliable enough, so he sold it to HD.

For the early Leafs, battery failure was a real thing. Apparently Nissan didn’t build enough protection for the battery pack from temperature extremes or overcharging. That shows up in the resale value, where the Leaf had the worst depreciation over 5 years, as shown in a recent Jalop article. People were also worried…

On Leafs and Bolts, $7.5K is a fair chunk of change. On a $75K-$100K or more purchase, it’s not as big of a hit. Even the Model 3 has mostly been $50K+ variants. On the low end cars, the subsidy brings the price down in the ballpark of the average new car sales price.

Yes. We all are.

Democrats didn’t put coal miners out of work. Cheap natural gas did. You know, the free market. But that’s not what the Republicans have convinced a lot of people to believe.

Well, the epa says that the US generates about 28% of our total of CO2 equivalent from transportation. That includes commercial trucks and aircraft though. Light duty vehicles are 60% of that. Medium/heavy-duty trucks are 23% and aircraft are 9%.

Cars are one of the major contributors to CO emissions. Ignoring cars in any mitigation plans would be just as silly as just concentrating on cars to the exclusion of everything else. And power generation via coal and natural gas are being replaced by ‘clean’ sources including nuclear, solar, and wind. So it’s not…

1st gear: A country that’s so beholden to major businesses that policy is dictated by those companies. Nah, that’ll never happen here.

Yeah, even if you’re one of those “I’m not gonna open the hood” kind of people who want a car with a warranty for the piece of mind it’s suppose to bring, you don’t need to buy every two years.

Soylent Green takes care of old.

Or a car cuts in front of you and then jams on their brakes.

Learning to weld in junior high would result in everybody thinking that they could weld.

Coworker called his a Ford Tampon.

Tom could have gone over the top: Looking for a brown two-tone 2003 Corolla with under 130K miles. Must have spinners, curb feelers, manual, and have been converted into a wagon.
