Are you experiencing low fuel consumption? Just ask your salesman about Stellantis.

Thiiiiiiis much fuel economy.

I’m not an environmentalist, but I’m also not a fan of wasteful conspicuous consumption. FCA must be the least fuel efficient automotive corporation in the US. Aside from the Pacifica Hybrid, does anything they shill get over 30 mpg?

I have fond memories of the last time gas prices were up above $4 in my area, and that’s not even adjusting for inflation between then and now (would be roughly $5 today). There was suddenly lots of “local interest” news reporting, where they’d catch a Karen carefully meting out a meager $20 worth of gas into her…

As suspect as I am of Tesla’s valuation...this. You can’t really just liquidate this much stock when you’re still a high ranking exec of a company, because it comes across as a vote of no confidence and thus potentially reduces your future earnings that are almost all in the form of stock. Now that he’s out, he…

Don’t be so grumpy! Dude was an engineer and happened to time his career so right that he won the lotto 52 times a year for 11 years, while actually (probably busting his ass) working.

There’s a point where every single one of us will say fuck it I’ve got plenty of money. I hope I get there before I turn 60. Looks like this guy hit that point, good for him. 

First gear: I do believe strongly in the legitimacy of the current chip shortage and the projections that it may very well continue into 2023. However, I’m also quite certain dealer sales personnel will insist the existence of the problem to customers a good 6-12 months after it actually ends as a way to continue to…

Reverse: How so? I think it was the wrong move for the Obama administration to cut NASA’s legs out from under it and scrap the plan to have manned missions to Mars, but I don’t see how letting private entities into the space (no pun intended) is a bad idea. I’m by far not a Musk-eteer, but Space X has developed…

An executive leaving a company would likely want to diversify his investments. Maybe he does think Tesla stock will take a hit, but it would be a bad idea to leave his money all in one stock either way.

I also start the morning with a cup of coffee and a Kinja dry run to see how fucked it will be today.

I don’t get the hate, either. People complain that manufacturers never take chances, that modern cars all look alike. But come out with an off-beat, imaginative design and the haters just shout louder.

This report is based on data from 2004 to 2012. Otherwise in terms of current data, pedestrian deaths in the US went up by 21% year-over-year in 2020. The largest annual increase since they started collecting this data in the 1970s. Traffic fatalities in general rose 8% in the US in 2020. All this occurred during a…

Ground breaking research shows there are more accidents when people drive more. Stay tuned for details. 

I'm not your guy, I'm your dad. You're grounded from your phone for this post. Go to your room. 

I’m not your pal, friend.

Writer has a decent budget and wants something funky, and unique.

I’m not your buddy, pal.

Why not both?
