Yep, a crash happened at a track, and just like every other crash at every other track the driver is responsible. TA-DA! I knew you’d get here eventually.

I don’t like giving Trump any serious review, on account of his being an awful trash person, but his description of how tariffs work is tooth-grinding. OF COURSE tariffs make goods more expensive to people in the purchasing country, because that’s what a Tariff does.

I wonder if Pearl Jam will record something to commemorate the occasion. “Cyber flow, trucks depart like butterflies...”

Too bad it didn’t get shot down.

“When we say do something you fucking do it.”

Cybertruck towing in the dead of night!
Did it get wet and then try to drive?
All your life, you were only waiting for a POS to buy.

Yep Hill is 100% guilty of not “respecting the cops authority”.

We need more of these fines, and they should be multiplied by ten, maybe even 100 in the most egregious cases.  Lifetime bans on flying, too. 

It’s quiet (WAY quieter than an ICE vehicle I’ve driven outside of high end lux models), comfortable and has good range (300'ish real world). We don’t miss CarPlay; it takes a little adjusting, but it’s not nearly the world collapsing change everyone pretends it is. The Chevy UI is easy and intuitive. Build quality is…

“Nothing in that article shows any data that has direct correlation of vehicle size to deaths. A lot of assuming is going on.”

100% can see this happening. Chevy and Ford come out with an EV truck the size of the Maverick, that starts at $28k and the demand is off the charts. Dealers only order fully loaded ones and sell with their markups. They are now $45k pushing $50k and no one is buying. EVs are declared a failure and they stop making…

Well for starters, $30,900 is not sub-$30k.

As long as Elon is going as leader, I’m all for it...

why do I suspect at least some of that number is private equity fuckery?

Ford has that skunkworks team working on cheap EVs (a few weeks ago rumor is their first will be a small truck) and I’d be surprised if most automakers don’t have similar programs going on.

also Garbage trucks tend to be cab-over - with great visability forward. School buses have those bars so kids have to walk within view of the driver. Maybe they should add those to the pavement princesses. 

If implemented, it would apply to all vehicles weighing 10,000 pounds or less

unless the data directly shows that deaths are only occurring when larger vehicles hit legal pedestrians.

This assumes the driver is looking in the first place, but we have to admit, front-end visibility is getting much worse on new SUVs, especially compared to the sedans and station wagons of yore.

One has to wonder just how the hell an automotive lifestyle brand founded by the late Ken Block wound up over a billion dollars in debt just over a decade after it was founded.
