even if 9 out of 10 drivers say Sike!

Hot take and totally right. Cadillac is doing it right by focusing on freeways, where you have a carefully controlled, predictable, well-marked, limited-access environment, and the benefit is high due to driver fatigue.

“He went on to say he’d “love to see auto manufacturers take some responsibility,” regarding the misuse of performance cars”

Can an adult sit in the back seat?

Yea but the way they checked for it, someone could’ve walked up with a blank index card and could’ve gotten in. It was irresponsible as hell. 

We just had an outbreak at work and had to shut the entire store down for 14 days. About two weeks ago, corporate came in and told the staff that masks were no longer required...POOF!

That’s how they do it in the Citroën Ami Cargo, so it’s probably a good idea

I got a speeding ticket for supposedly doing 60mph in a 40 zone, despite the fact that I had just gone around an extremely slow corner on a mountain road and there’s no way I could have even sped up to 60mph before the next corner in my stock S13. The officer didn’t use a radar gun, and he was parked on the side of…

Hell, I can tell a cop I have a gun and they will usually just tell me not to grab it. I have been asked to step out of the vehicle once in my probably slightly too many traffic stops, and it was one of several in which I announced that I had a firearm in the vehicle. I’ve never had them so much as request to search.

I agree with your points, just want to chime in to say that the other way to look at it is that you’re making the other modes easier, which can be useful in convincing people that this is the best way forward.

Lots of studies have shown that you can’t decrease congestion by adding lanes for very similar reasons. Mostly they show that if you want to decrease driving, you make it less easy. More one way streets. More bus and bike lanes taking away car lanes. More expensive parking and fewer parking spots.

One less training mission that team needs to do. Fuel costs the same, payroll costs the same, equipment costs the same, ship upkeep costs the same...

Every time I try to click on a reply to one of my posts, I need to search through the whole string of other story replies, find my reply, then open up the replies to my reply.

If they didn’t contract their chip orders at least 18 months ago, it’s not likely they will have anything to ship this calendar year. It appears that everything they have done so far is jut a PR stunt, rather than set up and run a real business.

They’re too late now. I’m not sure there’s much of a market for their particular product. It’s not high-end or stylish enough to compete with hopeful future offerings from Rivian, and it’s too expensive to compete with Ford. Even if the pricing were on par with the F-150 Lightning, I don’t see Lordstown making much…

From my understanding, the problem isn’t that they don’t have a production ready truck. It’s that they don’t have the capital left to actually order supplies or pay labor to build it in sufficient quantity for it to be worth starting up the production line. Without firm order commitments, they have no collateral to…

Binding orders do give you a baseline of income and one or more launch customers you can point to, hopefully as use-case success stories.

For various reasons I’ve turned over my entire fleet since November. Sold more than I bought so the buy / sell ratio favored me. In most cases I got way more money than I expected selling, and I think I managed to get a decent price on the stuff I bought. I live in CO and ended up buying the 3 cars from Wyoming,…

I’m always blown away by the size of these ships anchored in the SF Bay. On the left side of this picture is an absolutely enormous ship, almost as big as Alcatraz island on the right side.

I seem to recall that UPS was somewhat famous for paying their drivers well with good benefits and whatnot. Basically it was a solid blue collar job. Amazon started delivering via people using their own cars, but now that they have rapidly expanded to have their own branded fleet, with uniformed drivers, I’m curious…
