Yeah... he wants to spend up to $150K on a vehicle but he’s worried about paying a bit of extra tax.  Fucking stupid. 

Jose is correct.

Almost seems like a building the entire country around fossil fuel powered automobiles was a really bad idea! 

This is a weird little nugget

The GOP vote for a Dem bill because it is good for the country or even their constituents? No way in hell.

Not the drag political drama into but this makes me wonder if the GOP representatives of the impacted states vote for the Biden and Dem’s infrastructure bill now?

I filled up my daily for what may be the last time yesterday. Lease ends 5/31. Next car will be an BEV.

Demurrage is killing the global shipping industry right now. The losses are staggering with “wait times” in laymanspeak at exponentially higher rates than just a year ago.

On the bright side, you have a V10 Rs6. 

I have a V10 RS6 with THE oil leak. The seal is 50p. Labour and all the other things that need replacing to do it are £2-£3k

1X drivetrains is now very popular because of crap like this

I don’t understand, you didn’t know cross chaining was a thing? Even if your rear cassette was in spec in relation to the derailleur Shimano would tell you not to do it. 

Fantastic engineering by these things, especially considering the sheer size!

so peaceful

i found the note on the regen braking to be the most fascinating...this is a wild variable to introduce into the future of racing and range management.

Yeah, I would keep a generator in the truck going out anywhere remote, Fiskar has a pretty good setup for the real world. I would prefer to have a built in small generator for this rather than carry my Honda around.
