I know this isn’t the way the film industry likes to operate, but the thing about movies like the first Matrix is that they’re lightning in a bottle. And no matter how many sequels you make, you’re never going to able to recapture it. And the most you belabor the point, the more you hurt the name.

The Bolt did all that 5 years ago.

Ford kept increasing the price of the Lightning by multiple, multiple thousands of dollars every quarter. People were not willing to pay $70,000 for the exact same truck their neighbor paid $40,000 for. Also the winter range was abysmal.  If ford had never changed the price and the cold weather perfomance of the…

Yup. Been saying the same for years. And the fact that one hasn’t come out makes me question the whole thing. The idea of halo cars attracting buyers and interest in EV is stupid and nuts. If GM and Ford and Ram could afford all the development and design costs for six-figure halo EVs then they could surely afford…

Around me it seems like every tesla has to always try and show off how quick they are at the lights but for some reason everytime the get on the highway they don’t use the quiet peddle to merge and instead seem hell bent to cut me off towing a loaded trailer. Add to that every soccer mom/dad in their…

Couldn’t agree with you more on the acceleration. I’m terrified of every soccer mom driving an SUV / CUV that can do 0-60 in 4 seconds while she’s facing the rear seat screaming at Grayson, Jayden, Kayden, and Fayden. We really need to return to a time when purpose built sports cars were the only terrifyingly fast…

Amen brother. I keep telling everyone that the first manufacturer that brings to market a Civic sized car (or CRV sized CUV) that gets 300 miles to a charge and costs $30K or less will have buyers lining up at its doors. People do not need 0-60 times in less than 6 seconds (many of my friends who have electric cars…

Why in the ever living fuck does this article include a link to a random crazy X user’s rant, as if this were news worthy?

I recently stumbled across The Questionable Garage YouTube channel where he bought an electric S10 and is going through the process of bringing it back to life. I love that as a stopgap measure he wired 12v batteries to get the thing to move and it did. Even after decades of sitting the motor booted right up with no…

• He looks so angry when he’s talking, which is a trait of people who know they are “losing it.” The anger and shouting is not helpful to bringing our Country back together!

I’m aware of ‘everyone being a narcissist’ or a little bit of narcissism as it is important for the ego and even the superego, but NPD is not that rare due to our culture encouraging it as well as ASPD. It’s seen as rare due to the nature of the personality disorder, it’s rarely diagnosed. There is a reason a lot of…

If she’s an employee at RBR, he has power over her employment, so it is inappropriate regardless of whether it’s consensual or not.

100% this.

HVAC (including heated seats / steering wheel), turn signals, wipers and frequently used stereo controls should ALWAYS be physical buttons. Any items that drivers interact with on a regular basis should be physical buttons / stalks. It’s like we want to move to everything automated / touch-based, but then realize that…

Calm down, Hank Hill.

The messiest part of Red Bull the brand is that the grandson of the founder (of the Thai company that originally created the product, not the Austrian entity) apparently killed a police officer in a hit and run while drunk and high on coke, and was never even charged.

Jos trying to claim moral high ground is all-time hilarious. fuck that guy.

this is the take

Wendy’s seems not to realize that consistency is an important reason people buy fast food from a recognizable brand. Consistency in food quality (ideally good, but even consistently not-terrible), sure. Also price, having the feeling you’re not being jerked around or getting ripped off.

This would simplify the process of deciding where to eat.
