“Herr Direktor, which ignition technology should our latest model have - key insertion or keyless fob?”

Can someone answer me a question?  I thought if your comment is questionable it goes in the greys.  But it seems like my comments are disappearing altogether.  What gives?

Florida is the Enthusiastically Eats Lead Paint Chips state.

Meh... every car before Fuel injection

The smog was my first thought. I remember as a kid that California seemed to be covered in perpetual fog, but their strict emissions laws helped clean the air tremendously. California still seems to have the best car culture in the country despite the regulations. I guess it helps to be able to enjoy your cars when…

2nd Gear: Didn’t we fight a civil war because of certain states’ traitorous attempt to secede over their immoral “state’s rights” to deprive people of their freedom? Ironic that those same states today want to exercise their states’ rights to worsen life for their citizens in various ways such as interfering with…

DEI is good for business and most big companies know this. Most will scrub anything that looks like DEI from public materials and will be more careful with internal communications, but most DEI work will continue.

Florida is the Sunshine State. California is the Golden State.

You are going to love this country when you can’t trust the water and the air is a soup.

The antithesis to this is the Escalade IQ which has no start sequence.

If, according to Trump, women’s healthcare is a state’s rights issue, why can’t air quality be one?

With study after study after study showing that heterogenous groups of people make better decisions, and a similar number of studies showing that homogeneous groups make worse decisions, it should be quite obvious that having diversity in any workforce is a recipe for success.

“2nd Gear: Not again. A court case already reaffirmed California’s ability to set its own emissions rules, per Republican Nixon’s EPA.”

The party of “States should be allowed to regulate this” until states aren’t doing it the way they want them to.

2nd gear. Growing up as a car crazed kid in SoCal, I had a lot of animosity for CARB, especially when it came to smogging my 914. However, I also remember not being able to go out for recess at school because of the air quality. Going to my cousin’s house in Pasadena to go swimming and then having a smoker’s cough all…

I dunno, the Aston Martin thing where you jam the whole fob into a slot in the dash before you press the big, red button feels *pretty James Bond* if you’re keeping score.  I defy anyone to execute that startup sequence for the first time and tell me they didn't hear their favorite Bond soundtrack time in their head.

1St Gear: official wipe from documentation to PR reports doesn’t mean it’s gone. Many companies are just moving forward internally, with no changes to policy.  They know what’s right.

“ the “Home Alone 2” actor” and this is how I will be referring to him from now on.

What blows my mind is Hertz just went whole hog into evs without trying them out in test markets for a couple years.

Operating an EV even now is a steep learning curve if you dont have a place to charge at home.  It takes a bit to get in the hang of finding and using chargers if you dont have one readily available to you.  Its not surprising people that people wont want to tackle that curve while on vacation.
