Who in the fuck writes about cars this way? You read like ad copy. Except this part, where it kind of seems like you’re talking about masturbation:

So we should all buy one, then stow in the garage until Bring a Trailer has one of those “looks absolutely fine but has a totaled title because the body is snapped inside” supercar sales, is what I’m hearing? And use the wait time to get good at mechanic stuff?

I am shocked and disgusted by the lack of Kavinsky on this listicle.

Nowadays it’s almost unthinkable that any car be purely locked to one grade of gas. Any care high-performance enough to take premium will automatically detune when it’s running on regular, and in an economy car your ECU will simply change timings a tiny bit while you’re running on premium. Perhaps if your exhaust…

I think the Stinger’s main role in showrooms was to make dads turn their heads and say “ooooohh” while they made their way to the Sorento they were actually buying.

So my take - probably a bad one - is that EVs aren’t selling well because carmakers are not marketing on, or playing to, their strengths.

Just be sure to grow the appropriate facial hair

Don’t you know? All you need to do is cut back on trips to Smoothie Hut and you’ll be a millionaire in NO TIME. But don’t do that, because every American is obligated to support retail stores and restaurants. Businesses are people after all, and have an implicit right to exist, and if you aren’t doing your part that’s…

The concept of the blue collar rural farmer is largely incorrect now anyway. Most farming is the work of gigantic corporate coops, with the small family farm being all but dead. Not that this makes you WRONG, since the real power behind Trump is the corporate overlord.

“Kamala Harris wants to turn America into Venezuela!” shreiks the candidate also running on a platform of government-controlled commodities pricing, a policy that was at the core of Venezuela’s economic collapse.

Can we assume from the seller name that this jeep also doesn’t actually WORK? Or is “bring a trailer” branding language?

Sure, but that’s another thing we don’t have, and would have to find a way to put into space.

There’s really no point in colonizing Mars. We can never modify its biosphere to be human-friendly because the planet’s magnetosphere can’t protect an earthlike atmosphere from solar flensing, there isn’t enough water even if you melted it all, and the dirt is all lethally poisonous. Mars also doesn’t have an…

You could either build a supportive habitat and pile martian soil over it, or you could build a structure from soil bricks then use membranes to render the interior airtight. Either of these would also require construction equipment, which is automatically that much bigger of a cargo concern.

So what would we actually need to do in order to go to mars?

WELL

Probably by letting insurers sell much worse insurance. I hope all the republicans out there like their corvette (one of only 300 in iron blue metallic, and of those one of only 45 with the cream leather interior, and of those one of only 10 with the brushed aluminum shift knob) getting rear-ended by teenagers with…

Decade and a half of balance sheets or it didn’t happen.

Damn, who knew violent calls to action against the president would upset the secret service?

Inspiring: this 60s girlboss slew with her Pyr-HER-mid scheme!
