If the charging infrastructure would get going with DC Fast charging stations, you could charge this thing in 20 minutes.  I figure grab a coffee and this thing is charged,  Seems like a problem Tesla has tried to solve that nobody else is picking up on.

“Farley seems convinced that Ford works best in a crisis”  Uh, no.  Ask the people on the floor and they will tell you that the higher ups need to get their act together.

As a joke, I was going to write:

My question is why they made these cars basically the same. Why not make one a crossover, like an equinox, or better yer a smaller size pickup.  These often get used a commute vehicles, so why not have something you drive to work during the week and use on the weekend.  Missed opportunity.

“In my many years of vehicle ownership, I’ve never encountered a dealership that wasn’t either a horrible or grossly expensive experience.”

“There’s some line about history and being doomed to repeat it”

Holy shit, a race team folded due to lack of funding. That’s unprecedented.

People have a unrealistic vision of the advise given by professionals. A common uninformed, maybe even naive, person gets this advise and they figure “well, this guy does this for a living, so he must know”.

Great article. The issue I have with NASCAR is the way the races often get yellow flagged with a couple of laps left for “debris”.

A strong stock market is not the same as a strong economy. With rates still at historic lows the economy should be going bezerk, instead it is just chugging along. When people finally run out of credit the economy will slow in a hurry.

Two things:

My Solstice, which I drove to work today with the top down, does this right.  The outer volume ring spins and the inner power symbol stays stationary.  Jesus, GM did something right.

I think this is the footage for the rebooted Fall Guy show.

Just reading this makes me uneasy.  There is nothing quite as bad as helping somebody out then making it worse.  And, everyone should have a tap handle in their tool box.  You don’t need them often, but when you do, boy are they handy.

“Well, it seems something changed over at Toyota”

I know it’s more of a GT car than a true sports car, but how a bout this:

And watch the 24 hour war.  Also, read the book by AJ Baime, it is excellent.

I was half hoping that it would be gold with an eagle humping a gun with “MURICA-FUCK YEAH!!!” written on the side.

A strong stock market is not the same as a strong economy.
