Good point, modifications and subscription models are going to be an interesting thing to overcome.

I agree with the sentiment of ditching ICE for BEV. Designs are killer, the technology is on full display, and overall they’re quicker and more efficient than any ICE could ever hope to be. After so many years, we’re actually witnessing the auto industry flex their creative skills, in all aspects. Both Design and…

TLDR: I respect your experience and knowledge, but EV fires are MUCH different than Gas/Diesel fires. A lot of what you say seems a lot more like old-skool knowledge trying to deal with new-skool problems.

It actually doesn’t suck, AT ALL!! It’s been several months since I’ve talked about it, but if you have the money to buy a new vehicle, and you have the time to wait, this is the ONLY way you should go. Shopping this way actually gives you access to the exact vehicle you want, rather than the bland crowd-pleasers that…

Hold on a second, are you saying that traffic enforcement should just be a tool to milk money out of outsiders? Why would you have a problem with traffic enforcement catching locals speeding?

I honestly agree. Here’s my take (too long to copypaste): https://jalopnik.com/1850042413

I mean Godforbid people just follow the rules?

The real question is, how often do you?  The people who fight for camera systems to be installed usually end up caught in their own trap.  I invite you to read my take: https://jalopnik.com/1850042413

Traffic cameras – be they speed cameras or red light cameras – suck if you’re in the habit of speeding or not coming to a full stop when you make a right on red, but they’re also a pretty good deterrent for people who would otherwise be doing those things. Of course, there are drivers who say cameras be damned and…

This is getting tiring, especially going tit-for-tat with 17 broken down quotes.

Here’s the thing, they don’t give a fuck that history has/will prove them wrong. The whole conservative mentality is binary. They don’t grasp nuance. They believe what they believe, and always will, and fuck anyone else.

To your credit, when I hear people talk about how planes pollute, There are really 3 stances that you can take.

Again, it’s subjective. By your definition most other car manufacturers that are in the luxury category would not be luxury.

They’re not mice, the ridiculous hills they’re willing to die on influence America’s future. Sometimes it’s good to let the bully show his true colors to the entire class. IMO, it’s this kind of behavior (on full display) that is causing more and more people to distance themselves from the Religious Right. Also, see…

That’s not how this game works, lol. By caving, they will declare victory and move their sights to whatever comes next (which could be a cartoon, a piece of literature, or the rights of minorities)... the idea that they ever stop to reflect is not reflected in reality, and caving to fascists has never placated them.

With my ever increasing hate for Elon these look better and better to me.

the 1990s just called and they want their paint back.

just reinforces the fact that Carlson’s idiotic manbaby fit (and the falsely generated conservative rage that it generated) worked.

Here’s the thread I want. I’m also going to throw my hat into the FCA/Stellantis ring.

I hate on them because, having seen several in-person, they look cheap. I’m not being obtuse, or trying to just hate on Corvette. They. Look. Cheap.
