11th Gen Ford Thunderbird. Might be an unpopular opinion, but I’ve started to find intense 50's boomer nostalgia pieces from this era weirdly charming. 

Since no one else at G/O Media seems able to acknowledge it, maybe because you all (probably rightly) fear for your own jobs at this point, I’ll go ahead and say it:

and dice. dont forget the dice.

Crash tests are awful.

Nah too many black and white horses out there, it’s just boring. Give me a brown, male horse with a wagon attached to the back.

I’m dying here. I’d have a Friesian. Their size and color matches my mood.

Eating lunch while reading a Jalopnik article that drew heavily from Devil Wears Prada was not even on my *wildest* gay bingo card for 2024. What a delight, even if the paint jobs are bleak lol

It’s not a scam at all. The scam is that here in the US, the car makers decided to push big expensive EV SUV’s instead of cheaper small compact EV’s. Elsewhere in the world- like in China- small EV’s dominate.

“One caveat in the study is the ACEEE assumes Prius Prime owners were using its all-electric range for a “little over 50 percent of their driving.” One expert disagrees with the findings, as the WaPo reports, saying real-world use might undercut the data.”

This is a weird list, and I’ll explain why...

Agreed, but PHEV are way more complicated machines and will cost a lot more in maintenance overall than a pure EV.
