No, it was the fact that he’d driven to the site by himself, unoccupied, and without anyone else in the car.

For maximum discomfort, say that it was bandied about by one party, then pretend to look up details once people have reacted, and say you had been mistaken and it was the other party. Watch for those who suddenly find themselves changing positions.

Don’t pick such obvious fight starters. You can have a really good conversation: Just ask everyone in the room to talk about their favorite muscle car from the 80s, the undisputed peak of American muscle. When someone disagrees with you on when American muscle peaked, concede that the 90s were also pretty good, but…

Easier than choosing based on room favorites: declare Honda makes the best truck. Almost as good: Nissan. Ram/Ford/Chevy/Toyota can’t touch them.

People like the RAV4 Prime. Toyota, crossover/small SUV, hybrid, electric commute. There aren’t many of them available, so this gets people in the door.

If they offer the Ranger in a PHEV, it’d be great. I’ve been kind of holding out for a PHEV Maverick, but the Ranger would probably be even better.

I’m guessing they have this one marked up so much just to ensure that they are the dealer with the RAV4 Prime on the lot. They can list it as available on their website with some sort of “contact for current price” verbiage. I’ve seen some of these dealers listing MSRP, but also saying you need to contact for market…

Not just hybrid--plug-in hybrid, so it has a tax credit and gas-free commutes.

The town where I went to HS has annual lawnmower races as part of its Logger’s Jubilee. I don’t think everyone even wears helmets, much less safety beyond that, despite losing axles, hard hits to the hay bale walls, and mowers catching fire.

Are we sure the horse isn’t trying to eat the bean car? Or maybe they were going for dual meanings?

Am I the only one who read this whole article as very tongue-in-cheek? I’m pretty sure this line was just to jokingly justify the range of what is clearly not a serious suggestion.

I read that as very tongue-in-cheek. Really, the whole article. If it isn’t a joke, then I have drastically misread the situation.

You forgot to mention that you have a chance of acquiring the E-Transit, unlike the Lightning. That’s the biggest selling point.

Sure there is, just in the absolute wrong direction, as often happens with police. There are cops quitting over vaccine requirements. Which would be a bit like cops quitting over being expected to wear vests, except, as you pointed out, more cops are dying of covid.

Requiring these systems does not mean they will require them to remain constantly active. I’ve driven a few different models with these systems and they all allow you to turn them off pretty easily. The ones I have driven offer an on/off button that can easily be switched while driving.

Torch has always been an intelligence trained on goofy designs and tire names.

To be fair, there is a fair chance that when these respondents were asked, Chevy was not selling the Bolt. Stop sale order and all that.

Came here to say the same. 17% of *EV considerers* say they are unaware that Tesla makes an EV. This isn’t just a smattering of people whose last look at the car market included the Chevy Citation, but people specifically considering a new *EV* purchase.

Oooh, subscribing to colors would be such a fun way to cost them way too much money.

2. I think one of the biggest things that could help is organizing cooperative resources. In Washington, most (or perhaps all) independent drivers are in a cooperative pool for drug testing to reduce costs and actually have random tests. Similar pooling of talent and resources, including sharing information via cloud…
