This is a well thought out, rational, nuanced, and balanced comment. What they hell are you doing on the internet?!?!

International metric or British Royal metric?

...we really should stick with metric units.

I am not a big fan of extending tax credits for buying electric vehicles. There has to be a limit on how long these are paid out of the public purse. There are so many pressing needs for our various governments to fulfill, that this, IMHO, doesn’t make the cut.

The union thing is shitty.  Period.  

Maybe it’s just me, but, the sheer amount of people I see driving while using a hand held phone, texting, surfing the internet, or even reading an effing book (saw it last week) has gone up, not down. What the hell?

Trucks are useful because they have beds. Making them 4 door only makes them fucking worthless. Flame on motherfuckers.

So trump people are the people not taking the VAX? Black males under 40 years old are 9% vaxed, blacks as a whole are 24% vaxed, next is Latinos under 40 men are 11% vaxed and as a whole 26%. I don’t think that is trumps base! If you do some research you will see even if 100% of the population is vaxxed this is not…

Living in Texas, sunroofs are overrated. We have one in the WRX and the shade is closed 99% of the time. It’s too hot to leave unshaded or open, lets in extra wind noise when the shade is open, and most importantly, robs you inches of head space which is an issue for me when wearing a helmet. Not issues for you, just…

Reverse: So for 4 days, 3 dudes ate nothing but hot dogs and sardines. Then on Day 5, atmospheric conditions developed that forced them to drop ballast. I can imagine.

you know I was all ready to go blasting Webasto (which is an unfortunate name anyway) but some 30 odd years ago I did this dance with Ford. Worked in a body shop and we were contacted by a Ford supplier to bake Windstar interior panels to test the adhesives used. we would fork then into the oven (vehicle oven to…

At least the front didn’t fall off.

Yea, my thought exactly. They #1 selling vehicle in the country is about to be offered as an electric model, in its most popular configuration, at a price that is extremely competitive with its gas counterpart. But the sky is falling and nobody is serious about EV’s and blah blah. 

This sounds like they are taking a page out of the GE playbook. Wasn’t it during the Jack Welsh years that they completely transformed from a manufacturing stalwart of the American economy to a complicated mess of financing and credit arm for selling their very high tech high quality products to such a degree that…

The cheapest gas in my town is $4.26 for 87 octane unleaded. I generate electricity for the equivalent of 15c/kwh (pay-what-you-use lease model).

Student loans will blow up eventually too. That’s a ridiculous “market” for the last generation. College tuition has steadily outpaced inflation as well because colleges raise their tuition as lenders raise their limits, so the lenders raise limits to pay for more expensive college, and on and on. Plus “DAMN KIDS…

I just sold my brother’s truck for him. 2012 Silverado LTZ with 126K that has been in three accidents, had the motor blown and replaced with a used one, and plenty of dings, scratches, and dents. Clean inside, and FULLY loaded. I posted it at about 2pm last Sunday on Facebook Marketplace for $17,900. I had about 20…

I luckily bought a house and a car in 2019, because holy cow today’s market is wild. The magical money and debt gravy train is going to hit a wall eventually. Average cars at $30k and houses at $300k when they should all be a third of that just feels unsustainable. 

In bracket racing, the main challenge is consistency. They give the slower car a head start, but if you go faster than you said you would, you lose.
