Toyota/Lexus body on frame SUV. One of mine has 350,000, the other is at 200,000 and i have zero concerns about it making it to 250,000. Land Cruiser, GX, 4Runner, LX, etc. If its a model made in Japan, you can count on it going the distance. Tundra, Tacoma, sequoia and other American/Mexican made models come in second…
Wait, I thought I was hesitant to purchase a BEV because I’m a climate-hating asshole simpleton.
but for those who don’t have an at-home charging solution, allow yourself ample time and charge to get to a public charger.
That joke is so old there are not even malls anymore.
WANT. *Checks bank account* Okay, maybe not.
I don’t really understand why these are so sought after. You can get a almost new 4runner for that price and it’s 100% better in every metric. Except for the 5 speed I guess is an argument. That 3.4L is a gutless pig.
“It’s hard to overestimate just what a game changer the 1957 Interstate Highway Act was to building America.”
The BMW gear selector looks so out-of-place in that cabin. Just like it does in the Morgans.
I feel calling them ‘investors’ is misleading as well. They’re not ‘investing’ in GM. That was over and done with at the public offering (and even -then- it’s the underwriters who buy the first round of stock. Then the underwriters profit by selling their cheap shares to the masses. Like a pyramid scheme...)
There are millions of normal middle class Americans who are indirectly investors in GM who benefit from the growth and dividends.
Who are these millions of normal middle class Americans who are indirectly invested in GM? The majority of equities are held by institutionals. Your statement may have been true when many more were vested in pensions, but no more. They are left to their own devices with IRAs and 401ks, and we know most Americans…
More money going to workers means less dividends for the shareholders. Boo hoo. If you want GM to give you money, go work for them.
I think the magnitude of the difference between driving and transit in trip times in the U.S. is in part because our cities have been designed (or destroyed and redesigned) for cars. We should be actively redesigning our cities so that life can be lived easily without cars.
Leave cars for pleasure cruises or trips to…
The money from union concessions seem to go to the shareholders instead of “competing”. History proves this over and over. After 40+ years, Ford (and GM) still builds second rate vehicles.
Libertarians want a government just large enough to protect them to do what they want while screwing over everyone else in society.
Fuck that, country run like a HOA. That is like a worst nightmare.
Your worst case scenario is likely the best case scenario, and your better case scenario is basically a pipe dream.
Have you looked at apartments lately? My town more than an hour outside of Atlanta is about $1,500 minimum for an old 1BR. $1,400 for new construction would be an absolute steal since most of those go for over $2,000.
You can store a car elsewhere. But also, aside from people who don’t own a car, you can be a person who is too old to drive or someone with a disability. Or oh wait none of that really matters to you because fuck those people.
I used to “depend” on cars, and couldn’t imagine a life without mine. As much as I love cars, time has shown me car-dependence is just unsustainable. And it really makes life harder, not easier.
