Up front cost is the big one for me. And a lot of other people.

agree with Benz, let the chinese ev come

Imagine the US making competitive cars that’s popular in the US and the rest of the world.

Choke the Chicken Tax!

The Chicken Tax should have been dead for 60 years but Detroit paid better bribes, sorry "campaign contributions"

I dont think this was suicide. If he really wanted to likely kill himself, he’d just fly on a Boeing plane once a week.

I wholeheartedly agree. Once nobody could call Deadspin on its hot takes, the site went from taking the offensive to simply being offensive.

Deadspin died the day they turned off comments.  There is absolutely no point going there without being able to comment and discuss the articles, especially on the topic of sports. Hey, maybe they’ll bring back comments and I’ll start visiting again!

All you had to do was just get gas normally and I doubt it would have ever been found out. 

I think the takeaway is that this truck WAS casually advertised as bulletproof, with no further information - the actual information is that it is exactly as bulletproof as sheet steel. There are real, actual armored vehicles out there that have more specific, useful ratings for what they can resist. But, it’s…

When I was a kid, the flying saucer making the news sort of looked like a blurry hat. It had sharp corners and the like and would move around randomly and change shape suddenly and would never be picked up on radar.

The “insert picture” button doesn’t work, but if you have a link directly to the image, you can just paste it into your comment and it’ll automatically embed.

I’m just happy to see a Crown Vic still in service by the PD.  Look at that ol’ Panther still hanging in there.

No way it’s worth $15k.

Wow, that makes this look good...

The TSA is designed to be noticeable, intrusive, and cumbersome, as a feature and not a bug. If it ain’t creating a whole hassle, then how will the public NOTICE the government is DOING SOMETHING about that terrorism stuff? It is pure theater like that. It is meant to be in your face, and down your pants, by design.

I disagree strongly; cost wont matter at all. I live in a red state, and they could give EVs away for free and these folks wouldn’t touch them. Everything’s symbolism in these parts — EVs signal “Democrat” here, and they wouldn’t be caught dead buying or doing anything that hinted they might support The Devil’s Party,…

First gear: There are legitimate reasons why EVs don’t work for certain use cases, but the main reason why places like California have adopted EVs at many multiples of other states is that EVs have become front and center in the culture wars. Instead of a machine, EVs have become a symbol of latte-sipping liberals…

Americans who have made the shift to electric vehicles so far tend to be richer, younger and more likely to live in urban areas than the average person, research shows. Many reported being motivated by environmental concerns, and some by interest in the latest, cutting-edge technology.

Bedliner everywhere but where it’s really needed. (It also makes it very difficult to evaluate rust on the sheetmetal.) If you look at picture 6 on the Craigslist ad, the front tires look very toed out. Factory gauges are non-functional, so why not put the digital display in front of them? Having said that, if you…
