Funny thing is that some parts of California were moving in this direction. Our house that was built in 1999 had wiring for an EV charger installed. It was mandatory for all new construction in our county. 

Seems like they aren’t family anymore.

First, what kind of lunatic buys a “new” Dart or 200 from 5 years ago?  Second, there are actually 2 new 200s for sale at the same dealership.  How bad is that dealership?

JIT works so long as there is a free flow of material, transportation, and manufacturing capacity. I’ve had all the ways of material inventory management used on me, I own a machine shop, from “demand pull” to “JIT” to “Kanban”.  These work great until there is a massive spike in need and there is no stock left on my…

“It is not in Silicon Valley.”

I thought that the oem wheels were pressure casted which should eliminate this issue.  Seems like that’s not the case.

My FIL bought a Cavalier around 95 for a commuter. Because he wanted an absolutely bare bones model he had to special order the car. He got no options and took every dollar for removing items (crank windows, manual locks, no radio or A/C). When we went to go pick it up, the entire sales team took a picture with my FIL…

“It’s ALWAYS a ratty Buick...”

Our cruise was during fleet week. Watch the Blue Angels from a liberty ship; Murica, Fuck Yeah!!!

“if a 550 horsepower Kia can be had affordably, I might as well start cousin-fuckin’.”

“It wasn’t meant to be funny. Don’t laugh.”

The size of marine propulsion items is laughably large. We took a cruise on the liberty ship Jeremiah O’Brien and got to spend time in the engine room. All the internals like the crank and rods are exposed. While not big by any means, the size is just so foreign to the scale of a car.  Fun fact, the Jeremiah O’Brien…

Well, Germany does like to sweep the past under the rug.

Good god Ford, get your act together. I would hope a company in business for 117 years would have some of this ironed out.

took what little cake there is left in this city

It seems everything cool is 2 years away from being 2 years away. And still the only flying car is this:

It’s like this, just under water.

“Toyota’s been clear in the past that cars like the 86 and Supra are only feasible for the company when it’s able to split costs with a partner like Subaru or BMW.”

This system will be a total CP if it’s used in the truck. Try using the screen with gloves on.  The truck better be more truck than Tesla.  And, I refuse to call it Cybertruck.  That name is just fucking stoopid (I do have one on order).

Agreed. How the loss a surprise?  The cost of used cars increased dramatically and Vroom sells used cars.  This is econ at its most basic.
