Rail (f0r freight) is win-win for the GOP. They get all kinds of kickback/lobbying money to deregulate/strip the safety rules/insulate them from liability AND they can use rail shipping against those pesky truck drivers and their unjust demands for better pay and safety.

Seems like a pretty basic recall. Obviously the worst case scenario of a lockup while driving is a big deal, and the volume of trucks is quite large, but I’d say you are probably still safe going with a Cheby (and insuring that the recall service was performed if it applies to the vehicle you are looking at).

Is it down to 6 million already? I thought JD said 30 million. Trump’s not even in office yet and he’s gotten rid of 24 million criminals and thugs!  Amazing!

I’m going to go a bit out of character here and advocate for the giant corporation:

We can have them for 380$/month (CAD) tax in for 60 months in my part of Canada. The car and the battery pack has a 10 years warranty. I’m tempted to replace the shitbox I bought for my kids with that, especially considering how cheap electricity is in my part of Canada. Car may sucks ass compared to equivalent MSRP…

Nah, that’s not going to happen because it would stifle innovation. Manufacturers need to be producing their own vehicles and introducing their own innovation... everyone needs to be independently chasing the next generation battery, the next generation regen tech, the next generation of lightweight composites and…

So true. I’ll never forget the first time I stayed in a Westin.  Was shocked that I had to pay for Wi-fi.

Aye, personally I agree; but it’s how things tend to work with luxury goods. Rich people are willing to pay extra for the privilege. Similar to how a luxury hotel charges for WiFi and breakfast, when the Holiday Inn includes both in the rate.

Agree except for one thing - with a CT they absolutely can get away from you, all they need to do is go over a small puddle or into a car wash.

Ah, been a awhile since you talked to amazon support? They have been much less willing to help post COVID

Car companies have forgotten the lesson that GM taught the world in the 1950s.

“Instead of directly offering discounts, BYD has in recent months launched longer range models equipped with more advanced features at lower prices than their old versions.”

You sound brainwashed by propaganda of Faux (Fox) News, Twitter and the like. None of that is even true. Just one example is that the $750 is the INITIAL payout until a proper claim can be filed. I would recommend you be sure to cast your vote by election day because it’s not looking good for Trump given the turnout…

Some were really forgettable towards the end. The Scottish episodes were pretty dull. But I suppose there was some covid stuff to deal with.

I think he is the majority owner of YouTube’s DriveTribe. Which is hit and miss with it’s videos, he makes an appearance now and again. His daughter has been doing a few episodes.

She also brought her parents into the country. So ‘chain migration’

Richard Hammond’s Workshop, but keep your expectations low. 

Ah, the ‘Find My’ for spaceships

Voyager 1 is traveling so fast it’s going 10.5 miles per second, so after a couple seconds of communication it’s 23 miles further.
