And I listen to AM radio every time I get in the car; clearly one of us doesn't exist

I did watch the video. She said nobody should be prevented from obtaining essential services - something which I can’t imagine any rational person disagreeing with.

How in the world can you possibly say that a “billionaire” who has been the President of the United States is an “underdog targeted by the system”? In any way that’s meaningful, Donald Trump IS the “system.”

It’s America. It’s cross-country. The correct answer is a Mustang. In 2015, I drove my just-broken-in 2015 Mustang GT from Brooklyn to Los Angeles in 3 1/2 days, and then back to Brooklyn in 4 days. And it was one of the best weeks of my life. Big V8, open highways, giant skies - the true U.S.A. experience. 

Lithium Ion battery aging happens in a way that kind of looks like a Watts linkage turned on its side - extremely steep decline at first, followed by a long flat level, followed by another steep decline at end-of-life.

Here’s the thing about Evos: if they were broken in properly using the break-in procedure specified in the manual, they’re reasonably reliable, although parts are super-expensive. If they weren’t broken in properly - if owners bounced off redline and did fast 0-60 runs during the first 1,000 miles - they leak oil like…

Fun onroad? Fun off-road? Looking for something way more reliable than your quarter-century old BMW? Have I got the perfect car for you:

Can’t believe that nobody’s mentioned an EcoBoost Mustang. Starting MSRP is $31k, and it’s a blast to drive (although the new generation’s interior is a huge step back from the previous gen’s).

I genuinely miss wood trim, fake or real, on new cars. My Palisade Calligraphy comes with ostensibly real wood dash trim if you get it with a light-colored interior, but, lol, kids, so I got it with a black interior which replaces the wood with piano-black plastic with pinstriping for some reason.

The Hornet is just a rebadged Tonale, but the Tonale is essentially just a reworked Jeep Compass. Failures all the way down.

For the 2024 model year, Chrysler and Dodge combined have precisely 3 models - the Pacifica; the Durango; and the Hornet. What exactly is he trying to save here?

Good luck with that.

This type of law would make it incredibly easy for local governments to effectively ban internal combustion engines. Just set the vehicle noise level at which tickets start to kick in as, like, the sound made by a Mitsubishi Mirage at idle.

On the “raw dogging” front, when COVID vaccines first became available, I wanted to get one the absolute first day I could. All of the available slots filled up immediately everywhere in downstate New York, but I was able to get one in Plattsburgh, up by the Canadian border, right away. I drove from Long Island up to…

One of the dumbest things I’ve ever done is say to myself “I can drive from Miami to Brooklyn in one day.” I dropped my sister off at the airport at 5:00 a.m., and then just drove. I got stuck in two traffic jams due to torrential rain, but everything was fine until I got to Baltimore around 10:00 p.m. and started to…

What was the manual take rate? Less than or more than 1%?

Definitely the LC. I don’t think anything else is particularly close.

I don’t stream audio to save on data usage, so I either listen to something that’s already downloaded to my phone, or I listen to the radio.

Ok, but the alternative is having your car stuck in a snow mound from November through March.

I mean, you can’t leave your car buried in a snow pile all winter until it melts in the spring.
