Oh for sure, but the whole process of convincing people to move out to a big piece of property in the suburbs probably would have worked with or without the implication it was to get away from the minorities. 

Hell hath no fury like the plane nerds. They’re up there with some of the most quick-to-anger online groups. 

Weird direction to take this in, but this is why I’m probably going back to being practicing catholic once me and the missus have kids, at least assuming there’s nothing intensely off putting about the nearby church. In hindsight, going and seeing all of the people from our neighborhood once a week and going to get…

You’ve gotten a couple of log responses to this, but the TL;DR is basically that how we got here was a very long process that wasn’t really under the microscope until recently. And heck, you can’t really blame people at the time for not realizing how the white-picket-fence revolution that started in the 50's would…

I like to think if you could at least look at one on the lot, the average person would be jarred enough by the size of a modern pickup to measure your garage or whatever. At least if you’ve never owned one before.

That to me is the way funnier part of this story. Is this man ordering a Cybertruck the direct cause of him separating from his wife? Probably not!

I could of sworn at some point there was a breakdown on what manufacturers/models have the highest interest rates and longest term lengths, and the whole top end was the American Stellantis brands.

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say this whole premise predates both Tesla and Porsche:

I had a lot of fun explaining to a group of racing-illiterate folks why Leigh Diffey was losing his mind when this happened. Basically, when the first bobble hits, recovering it without spinning or hitting the wall is like a QB throwing a *perfect* pass into triple coverage. Then do that again for each subsequent bobbl…

I think that they killed the Bolt and then un-killed it in the same year lends itself more towards them just sort of flying by the seat of their pants than “greed”. GM (and the whole market) kinda found out the model Tesla did starting with overpiced boutique EV’s before the cheaper ones wasn’t able to be repeated.

I cannot recommend “Indy 500 Pics” on twitter enough. He has some treasures every year, but the rain delay this year created something exceptional.

Having the shareholders (and possibly the board too) be part of your cult and responsible for approving your offensively high compensation package is some real life Citizen Kane shit. Would actually be kind of bad ass if, y’know, the guy wasn’t the absolute biggest tool on earth.

Whoops, I meant that to mean examining the merits/faults of Marxism, but I guess the answer works either way. My thinking is that most post-McCarthyism US education at any level would refuse to even go near *talking* about Marxism, other than calling it an evil device of satan. I guess bonus points to your program…

That’s profoundly interesting. I have to ask: was the premise there to genuinely examine it for its merits/faults, or was it about focusing more on the faults and be a sort of dismantling for it? My cynical intuition would have been that most programs skew towards the latter.

but I don’t understand how my 27 year old 5500 lb lifted truck is less of a hazard to other people than a 25 year old microtruck that might lose in a fight with a flagpole.

My understanding is that the Honda Prologue and Blazer EV are the same product underneath. Like a Hydrogen FCV, the legwork on doing BEV’s is just a tough sell for one manufacturer to manage by themselves, and an easier burden to bear when two giants are sharing it.

Saw this elsewhere, but the actual reason is the rules didn’t apply to him. He was actually supposed to be going to a place where the cop had orders to not let people go.

More importantly Boeing doesn’t even make the engines. If this is a factory/design issue, then it’s a GE, Pratt & Whitney, or Rolls Royce problem.

Hot take: Screw trying to balance practical and fun. Just do something really stupid and live with the consequences:

That Challenger rec compelled me to check and see if high mile/ 10yo examples actually sell for that much money. They do. Which is horrifying.
