The investigation will be competent, the reporting, inscrutable.

If so, I’ll be surprised if the PRC ever publishes it, though presumably Boeing will know.

It also doesn’t have a third row.

Elegant weirdo explains the part of me that wants a Fisker Karma. Incidentally, I think that’s a better value for low 30s than this.

It’s Joe Manchin’s houseboat. Real humanitarian.

How much of a survivor is it, though? The owner never got Maryland plates.

But it’s still got Oregon plates, so it hasn’t worked right since the owner moved to Maryland.

Not sure where you live, but here in PA kids wait for the bus in the dark all the time already.

Unfortunately true. I walk my kids to school because the elementary school is down the block. But the middle school is out in farmland. Literally nobody can walk to the middle school.

Lawrence, I assume you’re too old to have enjoyed Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus as a kid, but if you have kids or nieces/nephews, enjoy it with them.

I wish they’d resurrect the Spark EV. Fantastic little car that costs nearly nothing to run.

My favorite from this series was the car with Guam plates being sold in California.

An owner that commits registration fraud probably has a car that can’t pass local rules, and is generally a sketchball.

Nissan Leaf!

Doing what you can, and not doing what you can’t, isn’t hypocritical. Like, I think we should be doing much more to end the genocide being carried out by Ethiopia in Tigray, because we can, but there’s much less we can do about Xinjiang (though I believe companies should have to choose between operating in Xinjiang

Sure, if you only go places alone and don’t have people who need you to be alive.

A plug-in hybrid doesn’t need a fancy charger. Just plug in the cord that comes with the car to a normal outlet. The charger setup barrier to entry with plug-ins is way, way overstated.

Bradley got a pretty fucked up one. Honestly the best call right now might be to order a base Leaf at MSRP. Substantially more usable than a seven-year-old Leaf, and barely more expensive since you can’t find anything recent that moves for under $15k anymore.

The money-saving option right now is a Leaf.

Rooftop solar is fantastic. My net electricity cost, even with a PHEV, is negative for the year.
