I’m already there. I have the EV, I care about the future. And I have my small stable of vintage Italian sports cars, all with manuals.  I’ve got the workweek and weekends covered. 

The point is “fun.”

Yeah, well, if you plan on ever travelling anywhere in the Third World and don’t want to be left completely at the mercy of a limited array of shitty public transportation options, there’s definitely a point to learning.

On the other hand, I feel like when EVs and autonomous vehicles are mainstream and objectively superior vehicles, all the new ICE cars left will be enthusiast vehicles where people are buying them for the experience. In that case they are much more likely to also want a manual transmission.

The people buying cars as…

There’s nothing wrong with the economy, unless you want to count the actions of the self-fulfilling prophecy crowd, who’s actions are actually tripping things up unnecessarily.

Does no one remember the Yugo that was terrorizing the southeast SCCA autocross circuit in the early/mid 1990s?  Sure, it was upgraded with a 1500cc Fiat engine out of an X1/9.  It was destroying certain famous marque cars in the class it ran.  

Great, but if you’re planning solar panels, that shade you just created just destroyed your ability to generate any meaningful power.

If you’re envelope is well insulated and secure, of course precooling will work.  It will resist outside influence.  That’s the point of insulation.

Running it longer vs shorter run times is the language that should have been used, not ‘working harder’. Equipment ages out faster and needs repairs faster the more its run, right?

What!?! The Great Pumpkin having a hissy fit? SO out of character, I just can’t imagine any of this being true.

tRump is an idiot and a traitor.  if you still support him AT THIS FUCKING POINT, so are YOU.

“But her e-mails...”

stop crying.

Nice whataboutism, comrade.

That’s probably exactly what his system did. Glad to see these idiots get some payback. 

and thats why they ruled that they all had to stop using heavy fuel oil. theyre much cleaner than they used to be. but whats the equivalent then? you gonna stop buying chinese shit? cause capitalism says we have to send jobs there so a few dozen people can be filthy rich.

US EEZ starts 200 miles out. “national waters” are 12 miles/20km

“He was doing it way worse than me!” Wasn’t a valid defense in 3rd grade, and it still isn’t.

Yeah, there are thousands of shops selling shitty “tunes” just like this out there.

The problem in my area with guys with diesel pickups is rolling coal.  I wish they would get nailed for modifying their fuel systems for that crap!
