At this point, we’re the exception to the rule.

Serious question: How much lost capacity for the production of EVs has there been because of environmentalists forcing shutdowns and reduced production of mining operations?

The issue with your statement is that the industry itself has been the biggest roadblock to alternatives.

Meh, I live in an 800sq/ft house and drive cars of modest size. I still think there are simply too many people in the world. Which mother nature will correct eventually.

Believe it or not, there’s more than one way to live a materially-comfortable existence, and we have absolutely zero reason to jump to “there should be fewer people” as the only solution.

Maybe we North Americans should start living like it’s 2023, instead of 1983. There are examples of this all over Europe, East Asia,…

Reading the comments section in Jalopnik every time there’s a study that says “cars are bad actually” is both amusing and depressing at the same time. We’re all Jalops, we all love cars, but there’s so many things that we use cars for that just aren’t necessary at the end of the day. Some of it can be easily…

We should go back to living like it is 1723, I guess. Oh wait, that would mean deforesting the world to stay warm too.

Elected officials trying to get re-elected by pandering to their deepest base, you know, the part that will always vote for them.

If you made a snack chip of lead paint chips sprinkled with seasoned asbestos and printed on the bag “100% disliked by Libruls!”, millions would still buy them and gobble them down. This is what some legislators think is a good use of their time and taxpayer salary.

They’re fucking children (that’s an adjective, not a verb).

Who cares. Hardly anyone lives there. It and some of the other states around it are some of the most racist, white, conservatives states in the country. 

It’s always funny when tiny little pip-squeak states like Wyoming and the Dakotas think that their opinions on these things matter in comparison to states like California and New York, which are actual global economic powerhouses.

When a car just needs a simple, easy repair to make it perfect, but the seller can’t be bothered to do it.

Aftermarket wheels. And I think we can all imagine the kind I’m particularly concerned with: 22" chrome rims on a 12 year old Mercedes.

“Highway miles”

An obviously cleaned engine always makes me suspicious. If it was too dirty to sell without a steam clean or something, then it might deserve a red flag. Seeing a normal amount of dirt and grim in the engine compartment is better than sparkling clean (naturally clean is fine).

If it’s a private sale, the seller not willing to meet at a public location as long as the car runs. I say this because I have been interested in numerous cars, but once I saw it was located in a very sketchy location I wasn’t comfortable to go there especially as the sellers typically wanted to meet in the evening or…

Nose test. Water, rich on fuel, paint, smoke, etc. They tell the tale. Eyes will lie, not one’s nostrils.
