The weight of cars has increased dramatically with the increase in impact protection. In addition to sacrificial crumple zones, modern cars have impact side structural reinforcement and reinforcement to handle off axis impact. This has resulted in vehicles weighing significantly more, before any other factors are…

Assuming you are a 2-car-household, what is your other car? While the mrs and I will squeeze with friends into our mazda3 if parking is tight, like the beach or if it is a short jaunt, but on long trips, we often take a bigger car because comfort on a multi-hour trip is worth more than the small fuel savings
No. Do not exempt EVs. They need to have incentive to be lighter as well.
3000 lbs isn’t much of a car. You’d be driving Fit’s and Civics tax free. Cars weight as much as they do because they built them tougher so the passenger compartment doesn’t crush in a wreck and the roof doesn’t collapse in a rollover.
Maybe don’t become a single Mom.....
As a person who’s first job working as a hired hand on a farm getting paid LESS than minimum wage for 3 years. My next job was at minimum wage doing toner cartridge refilling, my job after that was driving a forklift for minimum wage for a temp agency while I went to community college. I lived on ramen, no cable, no…
Hi, you and I come from remarkably similar backgrounds. My father moved here with his family from Greece in 1955, with virtually nothing in their pockets. His father worked hard to build a better life. My father and his siblings worked hard to build subsequently better lives. I have worked hard to build a better life…
The civil war finally killed slavery in this country with the cost of 620,000 soldiers lives. That cost is much higher than any dollar figure ever will be. Don’t those soldiers count as well? What about that “collective enterprise”. I think 620,000 dead soldiers is reparations enough.
Anywhere really. Three armed men break into your house in the middle of night (for whatever reason you care to imagine), would you rather have, say, a .38 revolver with a short barrel and six rounds, or an accurate, easy to use and aim rifle with 30 rounds?
You are so woefully ignorant of firearm history. Actually, history in general. Repeating firearms pre-dated the Second Amendment by about a century. The Founding Fathers rejected a contract for a repeating rifle to arm some US soldiers because it was too expense. They also personally confirmed in writing that a…
Wait, so you just assume all white folks have generational money? That’s hilarious. A lot of us grew up dirt poor and worked our asses off to get where we are. Without handouts. It wasn’t given to us or passed down. Is this what all black folks think, that all whites just ‘have money’? The generalization your making…
I’m guessing The-B is saying you lost credibility because you referred to it as a “clip,” it’s a magazine. This is one of the points that many use as an indicator of someone’s actual knowledge/experience with firearms, because it’s essentially part of Firearms 101.
Reparations Sorta seems like a..Handout to me. Yes, I’m Black and I..Said it !@!!!! Some of you would take the money and buy unecessary Sh** like clothes,jewelry, DOPE (Yep I said this too!) 40 ounces (alcohol), Reparations would only widen the gap of racism in this country.Yes racism and slavery was wrong. Now Get…
Hunting for food is arguably more ethically justifiable than buying industrially farmed meat. As long as you make a clean kill, the animal that is killed suffers far less than a farmed animal, and depending on what you hunt, you either remove pest animals or reduce the overpopulation of animals that are no longer…
Sure but let me know the last time you had to empty a complete 20 clip into a deer on a hunt....
Maybe hunting anything at all is simply unnecessary?...
The Second Amendment isn’t about hunting tools. It’s about both the individual right to self defense and the collective right of the populace to self-defense. While the AR platform actually makes for a pretty good varmint gun for things like coyotes and wild hogs, it really shines for sport and home defense.
Focusing…
Pssst - all semi-automatic guns (that is, anything that is not a single action revolver, bolt-action rifle, pump action shotgun, or flintlock) will fire as fast as you can pull the trigger. That’s what semi-automatic means.
They should study what Ford has accomplished with their engine lineup.
The 5.7L is fine in terms of performance— roughly 390 HP and 400 ft-lbs. But fuel economy is indeed abysmal.
