Problem is when you say fuck extreme unchecked capitalism that demands and thrives off poverty, people equate that to “I want a planned economy and public seizure of assets”

Thanks for sharing, Jason. One of the key points here is how getting arrested can mess up your life.

A decade later and the cops would have probably stolen Torch’s parents’ car and all cash in their wallet because it was involved in a crime, and being inanimate objects, would not be able to defend themselves in court.

I’ve stopped paying attention because what happens is a new bit of info gets taken out of context, and then it just fuels more partisan screaming based on how each “side” interprets it. you know, because we don’t have enough problems so we have to make everything (including a face mask) a political fist-fight.

Ugh, jesus christ. NOBODY was saying we needed to “stay in our homes forever.” The pushback was against just throwing the doors wide open again like that bullshit “Reopen” bot-fueled astroturfing campaign advocated.

That’s a truck-shaped car for commuters.

90% of the trucks I see on the road are being used as 4 door sedans. As long as they can mount some tough looking mall-grade brush guard and maybe some running boards to it they’ll be fine.

This is too reasonable. GTFO!

Ram has the 48v Mild Hybrids

When COVID-19 first started wreaking havoc in the USA, it was important to shut down the pandemic in areas where it was overwhelming medical care, and to safeguard at-risk populations.

Carmax is the “easy button” and they run their own bespoke auction infrastructure, so they will typically be the lowball [unless it’s a car they know they can sell on a lot easily]. That said, if you have a Carmax nearby, they are a great ‘absolute price floor’ for your car because it’s easy as shit to deal with them…

“Buy cheap, sell dear” is a lot older than horse trading. But if the dealer can convince you that this is a new thing,  the sky’s the limit. Like an 80% nitrogen mix tire filling or a transparent tint window upgrade.

Sure sounds like any company working on self-driving technology has been blowing smoke straight up our asses, according to a new IIHS study:

1st Gear: You can never stop car accidents from ever happening, no matter what technology you throw at it. Am I in favor of making safer cars, yes, but accident- proofing that’s never going to happen.

Now there’s an idea. $1000 budget car made in China versus two humans in $500 luxury sneakers (also made in China).

Lens was fogged by various automotive fluids, simply due to proximity to David.

Not gonna lie, that actually made me angry, then I thought about how many times I have rearranged the dishes in the dishwasher after my wife and kids loaded it and took a good long at myself. 

I would watch that for sure.

Let’s just reboot Top Gear with Jason, David & Kristen.

I can’t tell you how much I am enjoying this.
