Yeah, We owned a Kia once...once. Never again. After the timing belt (IIRC) broke while traveling down the freeway as 65MPH, and the engine was destroyed, they wouldn’t pay for an engine replacement because I was something like 13 miles over the 60,000 mile mark and hadn’t yet had the 60,000 mile service done (it was…

I’ll give him as much as $800 for it. Anymore than that it’s ND.

Yeah, for a second I was like “wait, does he mean exporters and not producers”? In the top 4 for producers but only in the top 10 for exporting. However, I expect that to change with the plans to wean Europe off of Russian oil. I see the US possibly moving into the top 5 exporters.

Umm, last I checked, no, the US is not an OPEC member.

Great song. I was actually delivering office supplies (I had just discharged from the Army) in and around Phoenix, Tempe, etc at the time off Doug Hopkins death. In fact, I often drove past the condos he lived in at the time and on the day he killed himself. I remember there being a lot of cops and medical at the…

My buddy had one when I was stationed at Ft Lewis in Washington state (late 80s). The back hatch had a sort of cover over so when you closed it it was sort of a rear dash thing. Anyway, we ended up cutting a hole in it (it was pretty flimsy) and would stash a party ball of beer in a plastic tub back there and feed the…

Wow! I mean what else does that 260z Need?! Nothing! That’s what! It’s got it all in one gaudy package. Big ass chrome rims! Check! Flames! Check! Giant obnoxious spoiler! Check! American Flag! Check! Screaming Eagle with talons integrated into said American Flag! Triple check! It all gives me such a patriotic…

Well considering you seem to get into so many jams, perhaps you could use an Electronic Sub-Etha Signaling Device. You know, and Electronic Thumb.

Hey look everyone. It’s Stevie the Communist and Russian Propagandist coming here to tell everyone how butthurt they are. Speaking of butthurt, how is Mother Russia doing to day Comrade?

Well, I’m going to go the opposite as the articles Author and not shame them. It’s an EV for fucks sake! Instead of shaming them, maybe praise them (a little) for picking an EV, albeit a monstrosity of one, over an equally monstrous ICE behemoth. Because I guarantee you if they announce a new, ICE version of Hummer,…

This comes around about once every decade or so. Some car company comes up with a “new and exciting” approach to the hydrogen engine. Only to have it go nowhere for many reasons (many of which are stated here) and that approach ends up quietly fading into the background.

I mean it looks sorta cool in a “death by frontal collision” sort of way. And really, other than using it to haul stuff around a farm when would you actually drive this thing? Probably not on the streets. If you’re looking for a utilitarian, no frills hauler you can certainly pick one up cheaper. Other than for a…

If you didn’t like that Elvis movie then don’t watch Clambake. It’s pretty VLV only with speed boats.

This looks pretty fucking awesome. Definitely gonna have to check this out.

Is that a goatee? I thought a goatee had to involve chin hair at some level. I think what LB is sporting there is known as a Horseshoe.

Because the only way to pass two cars doing top speed is TO POP A WHEELIE! Otherwise you’re just not going to make it.

Plus, they have record (Scooby and Shaggy).

There it is! Now we know the basis of your viewpoint. It has nothing to do with Nazis or fascism, it’s that you’re a self professed communist and Ukraine kicked out all the communists and you just can’t stand that. And seeing as Putin would like nothing more than to unite all the former communist Russians states under…

Yes, Stalin, my mistake.

Bingo! He's nothing more than an extreme right wing GOP bobble head parroting theirs and Russias talking points.
