i have a 2014 prius and i am disappointed that the newest gen is less practical. however realistically i rarely use the capacity of it anymore and toyota knows that if customers cared about practicality they would buy a crossover anyways. i think it was a good move to make the new big prius sexy because sales numbers …

How large of boat do you own? I pulled my 18ft bowrider 140 miles (65mph) with 20% buffer left with my 2024 Lyriq. Stopped for 10min to top off and finished my 180 mile trip. Obviously depends on charging in your area.

The brashness of the Chinese copycats is amazing.

The word bonus is a bad translation. Salary in austria is split into 14 parts.
12 monthly paychecks + one paycheck for summer holiday and one for christmas. So juli and november you get double the amount you get the other months. None of this is “optional” or a “bonus”, its simlpy how the law works in austria.

In the context of this hemisphere: 1) Nissan has established plant capacity in lower cost locations (i.e. south, non-UAW). 2) These could be valuable in a future economy challenged by tariffs and trade wars. 3) Honda hybrids are great, Nissan has none. 4) Honda doesn’t really do trucks, Nissan has some. 5) CVTs aside,…

We need to be paying our police officers more, so that they can afford to hire people who aren’t this goddamn stupid.

There’s like 12 mainstream car brands, there’s gonna be some overlap. The concept is what brands they like without a great reason, or better misguided passion. The Mustang and Jeep mentions were perfect for that. Or Subie’s near corner on the LGBTQ market, save for the few that went the way of the Wrangler.

1st gear: Where will these “drivers” be located in? I assume First Lady Musk won’t hire American employees for that. Imagine some guy in India (nothing against people in India) try to take control of a car driving in Massachusetts on the Pike at 5pm. Only Massachusetts drivers know the unwritten and unspoken rules and…

That only works for people that have a desire to learn.  You can lead a horse to water...

Chrysler PT Cruiser GT Convertible?

If they can afford the maintenance/repairs, this is a GREAT suggestion. I’ve always liked the looks and sound of modern Maserati’s, just not the combination of Italian and Chrysler reliability. I don’t think FCA touched the GranTurismo until 2018, though, so I’m not sure if it was actually better or worse before that. 

A Maserati GranTurismo is the right answer for a stylish weekend play car for the whole family.

January 31st 2029. 1st gear: GM has declared bankruptcy again after 4 years of tariffs and investing solely in truck production. Due to the collapse of the financial markets, massive spikes in fuel costs and federal interest rates crossing %20, American car buyers are buying more fuel efficient vehicles including…

That’s a pretty diverse and bizarre wish list, so compormises are going to have to be made somewhere. With this suggestion I give short shrift to the rear seat accommodations, but overall I think it checks most of the boxes: Euro vintage style, convertible, modern amenities. And the kiddos will love it. 

It’s on a laminated card in his wallet.

“An unfortunate incident happened last night. On the advice of my attorney, I cannot discuss the particulars at this time. I am and will continue to cooperate fully with authorities to bring this incident to an appropriate conclusion.”

if that’s not a 1000% generic statement, I don’t know what is.

They’ll still blame it on “the deep state”

This is why I hate JD so much. He literally wrote a/the book describing the stupidity of the right-wing lower class base, then exploited that information (and them) for votes to further his political career.

That’s pretty impressive with a 9mm pistol and a moving target at 75 feet.
