This is even worse than Oldsmobile, I think. Because Oldsmobile merely aged with their customer base and forgot about new customers until it was too late. Blame senility.
But HD is aligning with hate groups. It isn’t an oversight, it’s a decision, and hopefully we won’t forget that.

Cost, both of the vehicle and also the charging infrastructure at home. Maybe if the car were free, I could afford to upgrade the ancient 100 amp service at home and then add a reasonably fast charger.

As for vehicle cost, used models are still pricier than they’re worth, imo, and I’d rather a mildly interesting old

By the time the trucks shipped, we knew what Elon Musk is like. So yeah, it’s like flying a swastika. Or at least a Confederate bumper sticker, with a white hood hanging in a dry cleaning bag in the back.

Must have smelled amazing though.

Or transfer case.

Clicks for an interesting article. Sees slideshow, leaves.

I imagine dubie is referring to the infections, abscess, and removal of the implant. That can be costly.

Now playing

The original “stop Fenton from going that way.”

Hyundai has another recall they’re recalling. Some Sonatas had a potential leak from a fuel line. The fix was to wrap it, or something like that.

Idiot started a car with one foot on the floor outside. Regardless of whomever is at fault legally, or where whatever licenses are, this should be the beginning and end of anything they do with wheels, ever.

The only vehicle you start with a foot on the floor is a bike. This isn’t an education thing. It’s a functioning

Someone was trying to find the owner of those cars. Call them in as stolen, then watch which door the cops knock on.

At best it’s a nosy neighbor upset about so many cars. More nefarious, someone wants to know where the keys are kept.

Aeroflot 593.

“...a very good thing, since I may have added more problems in my quest to fix one.”

I think the problem, for me, is that the TSA isn’t the solution. All those attempts were made, yes. And TSA missed 100% of them, along with iirc more than 90% of training attempts too.

What TSA has accomplished, however, is stealing from luggage, molesting passengers, unnecessary and humiliating searches, ogling naked

Yep, there’s a huge freaking difference between traveling as a passenger vs cargo. Hell, slave traders even had ‘acceptable losses’ and ‘breakage,’ like shipping grain or dinner plates.

I want to drive, maybe even own, a couple of Soviet cars. Something blocky and stocky and awful. Maybe a Lada 2101 and a ZiL ZIS 101 or 111G.

I’d engine-swap the Lada, make it even less reliable and more terrifying to drive. And I’d keep the ZiL original, except maybe scrub out the bloodstains.

Aside from splitting the money ten ways, it also means this shining gem of a used car dealer told at least nine people about the scheme.

That’s assuming every person he told would then join him. It’s quite possible he blabbed to even more people. How would he not get caught?

Are we overlooking the “baseball stitching” on some steering wheels?

OK, but can you imagine those cars with the same displacement, without a turbo?

An out-of-the-box box proposal: Any late 80s GM/Chevy station wagon plus a modern LS swap.

Rear drive, check. Engine bay originally held a V8 anyway, lots of room, check.

$40K buys a lot of new interior, even a crate engine instead of a junkyard pull. Plenty of opportunity for tinkering. Not sure about the suspension
