Cut poor old Tim Scott some slack, he’s really going through a rough time with people asking him about his imaginary girlfriend on the campaign trail. 

I went through the UAW strike at Deere a couple years ago and agree with everything you’ve said. 

I’m going to buy a hybrid Tacoma when they get released. I like my current Tacoma but the gas mileage sucks other than that it’s the perfect truck for what I want. It hauls everything I need to haul and it fits in my garage no problem. I’d have trouble shoehorning a full size into my garage so I don’t even bother…

Careful with using math and logic around the internets or you’re going to get accused of being a corporate shill. CEO’s make an easy target but giving everybody in the company an extra $10 a week isn’t going to solve anything. The union should be hammering profit sharing increases because like you said they’re all…

Lets ignore the fact that Harris Ranch is a huge restaurant and having a back-up power source is a smart business decision on their part but complaining about the state of the place in 2015 now is a weird thing. You’re also ignoring the fact that Harris Ranch might be the only resort at a cattle lot I’ve ever seen.…

I’m starting to see some Rivians around here and I think that the size of one of those is a lot more appealing than the Lightning for fitting into a garage. They’re just so new I’m waiting for 3-4 more years to see how they tackle the inevitable issues that come with ramping up production. I’m planning on buying a…

I’d be interested to see what EV adoption looks like as it relates to population density. I live in a mid-sized city with about 165,000 people in the metro area and I know of 3 public charging stations I think. That’s no big deal if you have a garage but if you don’t then getting a charge could be a problem for you.…

As much as I hate it, at the end of the day F1 like every other racing series is a business and like any other business they’re going to make every ounce of money they can, tradition be dammed. 

Maybe I’d buy a Rivian if you build one that’s priced the same as a similarly speced out gas truck. There’s a really good Ford Lightning sitting on the lot right now about 4 miles from me, sticker price is $88k. Bring that truck down about $25k then I’d probably go trade in for it because it’s optioned out like the…

My wife is on the wait list for a Rav4 prime, only 2 more years to go before she can get one. In my opinion as somebody who is working on BEV development, if we really wanted to decarbonize our personal vehicles and do it rapidly we should be pushing the hell out of PHEV for everybody. Right now battery raw material…

Since you’re so confident then do the math for us. 

That always drives me nuts too when people are talking about CEO pay. I agree they probably may way too much money, no argument there but lets not pretend that if you paid the CEO $0 and distributed that pay equally between all the rest of the employees it would amount to anything. Lets take Ford for example,…

Just think that same 3 day GA pass was only $150 in the days before DTS. The Super 8 in Austin was $400/night back in 2016 from what I remember though. 

Everything in stock around here is the Lariat trim level with the extended range battery which is the trim level I would want and living in the middle of nowhere I want the extended range battery so it’s the one I would pick. Now I will say that those prices were before Ford dropped the price on all of them. The…

All 3 of the Ford dealers here in town have a Lightning on the lot. I’m planning on buying a new truck in the next 12 months but I just can’t bring myself to drop $80k or $90k on one no matter how nice they are. 

It’s wild how big trucks have gotten isn’t it. All of these midsized trucks are on par with a half ton from the early 90's in power and size. Personally I think that’s plenty big for a truck and a big reason why I don’t drive a full sized modern truck. They fit in my garage, haul anything I need to haul and it looks…

I’m going to order the TRD Pro, I don’t mind waiting for next spring and I think that’s the best looking one out of the bunch. I don’t need a new truck but by the time I can pick one up I’ll have had the one I’m in now for 8 years so I’ll be wanting something new. I’m betting it’ll come in around the same price as the…

It doesn’t really matter who the national leadership of the UAW endorses, the union vote is going to Trump. Granted this isn’t super scientific but a quick stroll through the UAW shop floor where I work has Trump winning the vote of the rank and file by a pretty wide margin. If the toolbox has a sticker on it, it’s a…

These get offered where I work every 2-3 years. Mostly it’s to get the guys who are really close to retiring to finally make room for somebody else. That being said I think they month for every year deal is kind of terrible. The last one we got had guys getting paid for like 18-24 months and they kept their insurance…

Kids in Iowa can get a permit at 14 and a school permit once they’ve had that permit for 6 months and pass drivers ed. My 16 y/o has been driving himself to school for about 15 or 16 months now. Now they can only drive back and forth to school until they turn 16 and get a regular license. I don’t see any reason why…
