Got an Essence with 25k on the clock. It’s better than anySUV. Which, I’m so glad I managed to talk my wife into the wagon! All the cargo space and most of the utility. (Such as it can’t tow. But, I don’t have any to tow.)

It’s a wild card with any used car nowadays, just never know what kind of life it lived.

Oh if only the rest of his kooky opinions were about the moon landing and not...um...uncomfortably bigotry-adjacent.

Texas is Hell.

My comment was tongue-in-cheek. I was told that by my uncle, but it was a ridiculous statement that I found hilarious, so I still repeat it, all these many years later.

It was already a pleasure to read Erin’s work here, but she moved to the very top of the list by reminding us that real ballers are able to turn their heads well to the side while continuing to drive in a straight line. And, what, the ability to diagram sentences too? Get right out.

“What’s that cracking sound?”

Icarus, in reverse.

*sigh* For the millionth time, YES, the Mach-E is a Mustang.

You ever seen a toddler so angry that they just scream and wail like a fire truck? That’s what I see when I see that face.

I’ve decided to built it with a hands free, self guided control system

Mazda should be applauded for making an engine cover that’s easier to move out of the way. Sadly modern engine with plastic manifolds and cam covers and miles of wiring have become ugly messes best covered up.

Indeed. Over 30 dollars for 2 beers at a recent concert is highway robbery.

How about concerts are too expensive and people who go to them don’t want to spend money on overpriced refreshments?

Went to a concert a few weekends ago. One 16oz white claw was 17 dollars. Beer was no better at 18-19 dollars for one 16oz. That can’t be the reason though.

Agreed, but licensing them will be an adventure.  All our licensing procedures and rules are written for giant reactors.  Entire new procedures and rules will have to be developed for a tiny one and that will take a lot of time to do.

Both officially announced that in 2025 they will have the Tesla NACS connector integrated into their vehicle. Citations listed from the official press briefing:

A Cessna 172 weighs less than 1700 lbs. And it's not designed with a frontal crash in mind. I'm not shocked at all that the SUV people are fine and the plane people are injured and dead.
