Musk was later reported to have said he believes the Model Y will be the best selling vehicle in the world next year “more likely than not”.

It’s coming whether these idiots are willing to accept it or not. The fact that the Impossible Whopper is still hanging around should concern the “own the libturdz” set. The cost of analogs like Impossible will continue to drop, and failing that, lab-grown will step in behind it. Actual animal products at their…

Constitutional rights are at risk under corporate covid policies

If the Chauvin trial has done anything to my mental state, it’s made me increasingly paranoid and concerned for the future of the country.  Black and brown people have known all along that police are mostly deputized terrorists.  As a resident of Minneapolis, that fact became increasingly clear to me (a white person)…

True story: I was looking for a very specific prank call across some CDs and tapes and I realized that the only tape player I owned was in my ‘00 VW. Tapes definitely have a nostalgic quality for me, and they’ve seen a bit of an underground resurgence. Certain bands/labels are doing tape-only releases. In the age of…

I got my shot as quickly as I possibly could. My experience has been that the vaccine skeptics are evenly distributed along gender lines. That said, I could totally believe that there are men out there that feel like getting a vaccine is a sign of weakness.

Don’t worry, guys. Toyota will bring us what we really want.  A bland crossover with a naturally-aspirated 4-cylinder and a sweet CVT.  FWD by default, AWD available as a $4k option. 

“Critical Enthusiasm,” eh?  I’d put it right alongside “Fair and Balanced.” 

Carburetors naturally seem to be fire hazards. Somewhat-related, but more hilarious story: I was working on the carb for my dad’s 1959 Austin-Healey when I realized that the weld (maybe actually solder?) on the float had failed. The float had a minuscule amount of fuel in it, which was causing the carb to flood gas…

I don’t get it. At all.

I’m honestly surprised that bands like this still exist. What you’re calling “industry plants” were an incredibly common thing as recently as 15 years ago. Major labels would essentially curate bands based on their notions of what might strike gold. The hilarious thing is that these would-be tastemakers were so…

I traded my beloved JK in for a RAM late last year, and though I love the truck. The only disappointing thing is that in my semi-rural neck of the woods, it’s as anonymous as a beige Camry would be in the suburbs. Every other vehicle you see around here is a newish RAM. My lightly-customized Jeep really stood out in…

They’ll buy Japanese/Indian to own the libturdz.

HD should be throwing their newfound profits behind pro-vaccination messages.  COVID will wipe out 99% of their customer base unless they can convince them to get the Soros-Gates Poison Tracking Chip™️. 

The vaunted “ultimate driving machine” plaudits heaped upon BMWs are all hype.  They’re mostly bland, boring and unremarkable.  And they always have been. 

I ditched Twitter shortly after the Orange Man got elected. When it became clear to me that the company was among his chief enablers, I simply couldn’t be part of it anymore. It honestly bummed me out, because Twitter was (is?) my favorite source for breaking news across the spectrum (politics, world events, local…

I’ll admit that I’m pretty disconnected from the Muskbro/EV community.  Do we know if Elon plans to “eat his own dog food?”  Will he engage “full self driving mode” and jump into the back seat for a nap?  Or does he have a full-time chauffeur?  Something tells me that the latter is a lot more likely. 

Oh, come on now. The GNX and Grand National are iconic regardless of their date of manufacture. When I think peak ‘80s, I look toward the more mundane. It was the era of the nouveau riche, where every stuffed suit wanted to get a piece of the pie and sail off into the sunset in their yacht with an 8 ball of blow and a…
