What if people actually kept driving until they could find a community they could afford to live in? Its a game people! Here’s the tactic being played on the taxpayers: Park your POS RV (or tent) on some of the most expensive and highly visible real estate in the country, then virtue signal (classic social…

If you are unhoused, than what you need is a safe shelter. If you want to create a lifestyle of government funded support than you can’t blame anyone but yourself down the road when it seems like this problem only gets worse every year despite more funding... If you really want to wade into this discussion start by…

Exactly; so lets stop using the virtue signaling phrase “homelessness” like a shelter will fix the problem, because it doesn’t when the true underlying reasons are overwhelmingly a series of poor life choices, addiction, and mental health. Obviously, they have a home, so its community funded support for a lifestyle of…

Probably the most intelligent response i’ve read on Jalopnik in a very long time. Respect.

Some good points, but let’s not overlook something huge about Tesla that other manufacturers didn’t have to deal with 125 years ago: building a worldwide charging network and showroom and servicing network while building car’s. GM and Ford sell dealership franchises, and aren’t in the refinery or gas station business…

Sounds like you’ve taken a fair look at your transportation needs, which aren’t typical at all for the majority of the population with your requirements of “routine 12hr trips” which sounds like you don’t even include stopping for a safety break for a meal (which makes a great time to plug in to a DC fast charger). If…

Funny, how many comments are from former F-body owners of this vintage and people are saying been-there...done-that. I remember taking mine to the exhaust shop and having some stainless steel ceramic coated headers installed and 2 days later, the owner of the shop saying to me “NEVER AGAIN... don’t tell any of your…

Exactly; Good luck at anything near $18k. I live in the PNW and YES, there’s a reason you don’t see too many V8 F bodies of this generation, and it’s because they aren’t popular with the PNW youth. Heck, modern Camaro’s still aren’t popuar in the PNW.  Why? because the trifecta of youthful exuberance, wet roads 7…

True. However, I didn’t want to focus on the the PDX airport food scene as a standard of excellence, rather the airport as a complete experience. Yes, the food, brew pubs, art, carpeted floors, glass ceilings, high tech parking garage, and now multi-million dollar wooden artistic ceiling along with one of the nicest…

I’m so sick of the sustainability virtue signalling being a part of the EV discussion. Honestly, I didn’t buy my EV 3 years ago because I had aspirations of undoing the environmental damage caused by 125 years of ICE automobile production and operation. I bought my EV to stop burning wads of $20s every week just…

Interesting twist on words: “The Polestar 3 also uses leather that is effectively a bi-product of the meat industry” Hmmm....the last time I checked, cows, unlike minks, are slaughtered for their meat and the hide is therefore a bi-product of the process by default.

Any “Top Domestic Airport” list that doesn’t include Portland Oregon (PDX), in the top 2 is highly suspect. PDX is consistently rated the top airport by leading travel and tourism publications over and over and it lives up to its status. I can say without a doubt its a high source of pride of the city and is viewed as…

“But based on the data collected, you can at least trust that the situation isn’t nearly as dire as EV opponents would have you believe” thanks for confirming what EV owners have known for the last 5 years. 

“Cash Furnace”? It amazes me how many people have a very short memory, here’s short list of recognizable companies that were also a “cash furnace” before they literally owned the industry they developed from nothing: Amazon (1994-2001) Netflix (1997-2006). SpaceX, Apple, and many, many, more etc. Turns out disruptive…

As an EV owner home charging is as easy as plugging in your smart phone to charge every night, drama free 220v charging. I have a JuiceBox brand wi-fi enabled charger that my local utility gave me $500 towards the $560 purchase and the Federal Government will give you a tax credit for 30 cents on the dollar for the…

When Nissan says “cheap” beware, they know exactly how to save manufacturing costs on the back of consumers: CVT transmission disaster and making the same exact car year after year with no effort to update comes to mind.

So death by a 5 cop firing squad was authorized, sorry no. I suspect this won’t be the end of this story.  

Did he? he was also in the confines of a car. We’ll never know because we didn’t see, but once the trigger word (literally) was muttered, GUN!!! it took 5 cops seconds to mag dump on him to neutralize the threat to all of them? Is this really what Policing is in 2023? seems like a highly trained urban paramilitary…

It kind of makes you wonder what the end result would have been if there would have been something more pressing for the Police to do that day and mailed him the damn ticket instead. However, we all know it’s about a projection of power, and never, never, backing down while completing the rehearsed scenario to the…

Definitely some truth in your words. Video’s like this make me sick for several reasons. Thanks to the video I see nothing more than a well crafted and choreographed scenario that the Police have rehearsed while waiting for the next escalation step so the scenario can be completed with high fives all around and beers…
