“This USMCA is a bad deal, the worst deal, it’s trapping us in a bad market, the president who put this in place was a bad president, everyone tells me ‘Mr. Trump, you need to fix the bad USMCA because we’re losing so much money;’ I’m here to tell you I’m shutting it down and I’m going to put the people who did this…

Just because

Sure. Perhaps a better word would be “possibility?”

Most safety features are only required once universally standard.

EAUUUGAWAHHHHHH

The last hemis were in the early 70s so you’re already a dupe either way I suppose

If it’s fixed to a very narrow rev-range for optimal output it can be reasonably fuel-efficient while not having to provide efficiency at other engine speed.

I know car regulations bother even a lot of car people who aren’t mindless chuds, so I want to tell a little story. It’s something that happened today, in fact.

This is an almost adorable level of naivete. Who’s going to stop them? You don’t have a right by criminal law to social security, so when it goes away you’ll have to sue the government to get it, and assuming you can afford that, they’ll just jam you in court until you get to the Supreme Court, which is all right-wing…

I’m sure Donald Trump will repay Elon Musk with all the promptness and commitment with which he pays all his debts

It’s funny, in their latter days Oldsmobiles were watchwords for generic, uninteresting design, but that broad, simplistic styling has made them age into pretty solid examples of 90s/early aughts design. I like this.

While I’m under no impression that Red’s produces shotty work,

8 years ago the Bernie Bros sat out the election and let him win the first time

Because people aren’t voting for the real Donald Trump. They’re voting for the character of Donald Trump; the meme of him. They have no interest in the real politics around his candidacy and consider any real information about it a sneaky liberal trick. And most of his supporters will be dead of old age before the…

Everybody here is mostly listing American and Japanese labels, and that makes sense - the big 3 US companies spun up way too many brands in their heyday, and several of the big Japanese makers have definitely fallen off. But just for the sake of variety, I want to call out Maserati. They’ve always been this awkward…

This is the correct answer, and an especially sad one because for so long they had very good cars. The Lancer EVO. The Eclipse. The GT3000! And then they just kind of stopped.

I feel like you lose a lot of legal ground as soon as the burglar leaves your property.
