Ha ha, that was my HS summer job with my brother at the scrap heap in blazing Arizona sun, sorting through tractor-trailer steel (wheels, broken frames, leaf springs, frames) and aluminum (wheels, pistons, portions of trailers cut by us with a plasmar). We would load one end-dump tractor trailer full of one type then…

GM used to have a massive testing ground in the far east end of the metro-Phoenix area, but shut it and sold off the land for a ton of $$$. GM does have a proving ground in Yuma, AZ, at the far southwest corner of the state. Great place for it, too: One of the hottest parts of the state and it’s within the US Marines…

Cheap land, TONS of tax breaks, way less regulation than California, two test tracks nearby (Volkswagen and Nissan), climate, affordable housing, proximity to rail and interstate.

Yeah, like asking future generations if they really want to be born before creating them through procreation.

$0.43/kWh? Wow, California.

No doubt. I live in PHX and have one that’s 1.5 miles away, another 7 miles away and a third that’s about 10 miles away. I guess its the newness of it. When the greater metro Phoenix area got a White Castle, it was like this. The same, but to a lesser degree the first Jollibee. Just wait a few months.

That’s what I bought, it’s still in the toolbox and it gets used at least 2-3 times a year for the last 20+ years.

Adderall pipe.

Yes, there are. They’re called NASCAR races.

In Arizona, this doesn’t happen! We also don’t have vehicle inspections, just emissions testing in Maricopa and Pima counties, so there’s that.

Any anti-Putin airbrush examples out there?

Good luck driving with the tailgate down in some jurisdictions. If the license plate is not clearly visible while driving, it can sometimes result in you being warned or ticketed.

You are not incorrect. However, set aside some chunks of change because they cost a lot to repair.

You leave out that Chevron is an offspring of Standard Oil, as well, being birthed from Standard Oil of California. Just sayin’.

Those grilled breakfast burritos are sure tasty. Glad to have this back as a commute breakfast choice, if commuting returns at all in the future.

Tesla?

Early ‘80s VW Rabbit diesel p/u would like to have a word with you, sir.

Grand Prix.

Has anyone had the “Franken-cup” limited time offer ones? I saw them yesterday at a convenience store. The bottom 1/2 of the cup is green creme instead of milk chocolate.
