So glad to see this place is back! For me, it was just the right combination of sex/celebrity/politics to keep me informed without hitting 17 different American sites. I didn’t realize how much I relied upon it until it went away. (Hmmm...someone should make a song about that.)

If these “experts” are “concerned” about the Cybertruck, then they should also be “concerned” about trucks like these

Yep, you have to get used to watching for anything that will reduce wind speed, as well as wind direction relative to the road. Anywhere wind is slowed, it will drop the snow it’s carrying. Changes in elevation, curves in the road, shelter belt trees in a farmyard - you learn to read them for drift-making potential.

Porn.

If you can afford an EV and a house with a carport, especially in Europe, then you have the shillings to afford a full garage and heater.

can withstand baseballs thrown by all but the strongest high school freshmen

Yep, all of this. No matter how cautious a driver I am, there’s always those times where it’s a “fuck it, I’m just gonna have to go situation.

Why not just spring for a heated garage instead?

Here in Canada, tons of people used interior warmers when I was growing up. There was the odd fire from improperly installed units, or people who let garbage pile up next to the heater, but they were quite safe overall. I don’t hear much about people using these nowadays, probably due to remote start being so much

Well, holy shit. I haven’t thought about the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers in one hell of a long time.

The vanity plate on that truck was perfect - RUSIRIS. (I’m assuming he was going for “are you serious?” - which would be awesome. If it was something boring like buddy’s name was Russ and his wife is Iris, it’s not funny at all, so I’m going with my interpretation.)

Mine was a recall that I feel like I would have been better off ignoring. The “fix” was more dangerous than the original situation.

here i am, giving Jalopnik another try. FIRST article i read, it says “this convoy of dipshits” reffering to a group of people protesting against this gender indentity nonsense

Yep. Not all cops are geniuses, but I doubt there’s many dumb enough to think ramming a tractor with an SUV is going to accomplish much.

Been a while since I have seen a $kay comment.

there’s no denying that children were stigmatized for being born into that situation. Still are, in many cases.

especially not your usage of it... you’re not helping.

So get a rear rack & a pair of folding baskets like these
