This is also a very fair point. Carry on.

This is a fair point. But it's probably good to keep him from getting an exaggerated sense of the legitimacy of his opinion by arguing with him. He's wrong, but that's already apparent. Arguing with obtuse people isn't good policy.

Back away from the troll. If we're not careful, he's going to become the top comment.

I think this is being considered because it applies to everyone, from Joe with his F-150 to Tim with his Model S. The rise of electric cars is going to be a big problem in terms of road maintenance. This option isn't a gas tax so much as a tax on the use of roads.

We can live in hope for a new p1800es, I suppose.

I feel you. I'm a huge fan of the estate concept, and it'd be great to have it see production unadulterated. As is it, looks like they're going to wagonize it into a new V90, but it's not the same.

This is the funniest shit five years down the line.

They're going to revamp the entire lineup to look like that.

The Memory Pallace is fantastic. Heartbreaking and funny and sad.

I'm pretty sure oil power plants are more efficient than an ICE.

True, tho. I've always found the whole concept of the coming "white minority" to be deceptive at best, and kinda racist at worst. Grouping everyone who isn't white into one group isn't particularly helpful or accurate in this situation.

???????????????????

There's not a legitimate way to do it, but bittorrent is your friend here.

Okay, that makes a lot more sense. I felt like I was going a little nuts there, for a second.

I was making uncomfortable noises to myself reading this thing. Maybe it's a personal sort of essay thing? To give it the benefit of the doubt? But presenting this as universal good advice to teenage girls seems... suspect to me.

The aerodynamics of making fuel-efficient cars make that all but unavoidable. There's a reason the Prius hasn't changed design in fifteen years.

Except modern cars for average people are better in every respect that matters to average people. Fuel economy, reliability, safety, etc. You may hate Civics and Prii and Accords, but they're fantastic cars for people who need a mode of transportation, not pleasure. And they are safer in every respect than older…

Holy. Fucking. Shit. How? How does something like this even happen? I'm so confused.

I'd die if the Rocketman actually came out. It was such a great concept, and might finally shut up those people who insist on saying "that's a maxi, not a mini" on every fucking article like this. If it was under 30k, I think quite a few people would give it a serious look.

The thing is, 9/11 was the third major attack on our country by a foreign power ever (as I recall). There was the burning of the White House in the War of 1812, the bombing of Pearl Harbor, and 9/11. That's it. This was the first attack on the American mainland in 200 years. It really wasn't normal. It was out of the…
