I do not know the laws in LA regarding the electrified kiddy scooters (i.e., are they required to be on the roadway? Are they allowed on sidewalks?) but personally I think they should be 100% banned from sidewalks. Users of these dangerous toys are not pedestrians. In most of California it is illegal for bicycles to…

The gig economy is crushing idiots and enriching those smart enough to understand that you can’t make a decent living as an “at will ride hail driver” but you can make money by exploiting stupidity. Nobody is forced to be an uber/lyft driver. People sign onto the program without understanding what they are getting…

More paranoid ranting by safety nazis / clueless individuals. How many people do you know that are adults? Guess what that means ... they all survived childhoods where they were carted around in vehicles that are far less safe than the safest vehicles available today. Clueless individuals are all twisted up about…

Wow, does everyone here seriously lack the imagination to see this?

a plucky band of pirates slapping together a satARRRlite and lARRRunching it on a RARRRRcket

during target killings (read: assassinations) of terrorists

Literally nothing you describe is unique to young people.

Yeah, our dearest author coulda spent an extra minute to add some clarifying context. I went to the cop’s tweeter and watched it there ... the small sedan was in the HOV lane and the hatchback comes rolling up on sedan’s tail, then Mr (or Ms) Hatchback suddenly swerves to the right, passes the sedan, cuts back in…

The GS definitely holds value better than many other Beemers but at this price you could find a much newer more capable example.

Why is it that reports such as this always always always imply if not downright claim that it’s the fault of the food seller that the lardass with heart disease keeps buying the most unhealthy options available? FFS, people, it’s time to fucking sack up and take responsibility for one’s own choices. Nobody makes…

impressive job of taking some serious missteps with its heritage nameplates<snip> now it’s coming for the Trailblazer name

The C2 is the pinnacle of Corvette styling.

Oh lord, I had totally forgotten that Maddox existed! I used to read his shyte religiously 15 or so years ago, lol. I even bought one of his books, the ‘Alphabet of Manliness’ if I recall correctly. Whatever. And whadaya know, his page is still up and being periodically updated.

Umm ... did you not read the comment you replied to? The gas engine is a ‘range extender’. It is used solely to generate electricity. It does not provide any motive force to this vehicle. Maybe it’ll “drink gas like an alcoholic” but you won’t be hurting for horses or torques since those will be coming from the…

Love Elements. Own an Element. Would not pay anywhere near 15 large for an 11 year old car with over 200k on the clock. This thing might tickle my fancy at half that price, but no more.

I can see the 4 to 8 week notice if you’re a friggin C level executive jumping ship and there’s a possibility of negotiating a going-away package / dealing with NDA’s & non-compete contracts ... but if you’re a W2 employee, one second more than 2 weeks notice is absolutely insane.

I’d rather it be pictures and text even though I could play videos at work. I want pictures and text because the video presentations on all Gizmedia venues simply suck. I love Torch’s writing, but I will not sit through a video presentation with him. He may not totally suck at presenting, but the video itself still…

Establish complete air superiority by taking out all air assets, then all the anti-aircraft weapons.

I am NOT a teen, however I am the parent of 2 teens, aged 16 and 18. The elder child has little interest in getting his license and the younger wants his license ASAP ... specifically for FREEDOM from the tyranny / embarrassment of being driven around by his ‘rents. The elder doesn’t want to go anywhere or do…

I think you could put a vehicle like that in the marketplace in, let’s say, the mid-20s
