This is apropos of nothing, but I test drove a new GMC Sierra last week and got stranded on the side of the road because it ran out of gas while the gauge was reading a quarter tank/90 miles of range. Modern vehicles have so many components that have to be exactly right for the vehicle to function, it’s inevitable…

I find it interesting that they say that Volvo has a more credible plan for producing electric vehicles than Ford, when Ford already has one mass-market electric vehicle already on the lots and an electric truck that’s been demonstrated. Ford has an ambitious plan, and they’re already achieving it.

I’ll be a first time truck buyer sometime this summer, and even though big-3 truck people and reviewers universally seem to hate them, I actually like the Nissan Titan for this reason. It’s smaller in most dimensions than pretty much every other “full-size” on the market, and it just seems more practical for every day…

Even in cities like Dallas/Ft. Worth that are designed around traveling by car, this funneling of people into central areas still happens because of the rigid zoning in most cities. You still have commercial districts in the suburbs where all the retail and entertainment is located, with all the houses outside of…

My first gen Ford Edge had this feature as part of its otherwise warcrime known as SYNC. It worked for terrestrial radio and Sirius, although it only worked while the car was on.

Now that the stimulus money is petering out, I would bet that the used car market is repopulated at least a little by repossessed vehicles in a few months.

I have been through this area many times, and the stretch where this happened was recently redone with weirdly narrow shoulders because they were fitting updates into the existing footprint. I can see why she would want to find a safer place to stop. It’s basically like having the cop put his lights on while you are…

This situation is even worse in Arkansas because a few years ago there was a some whack job “blue light rapist” using police lights to pull over women and rape them. It’s part of why the driver manual there says what it does, because it was plastered everywhere that if you, and particularly for women, don’t feel safe…

Who could have ever foreseen this completely obvious future for Lordstown Motors.

The USSR had these same advantages (and failed), and it would be interesting to see a comparison of the old USSR government and China. China is clearly doing it better, but is that situational or strategic change.

Thank you. I saw that, and I was concerned.

I have to say the waygu beef looks like a sad new york strip straight out of a sous vide bath.

I, too, have been bamboozled. 

The NIMBY people that don’t exist in China are the impediment. The people that have objections to these projects that might affect the local environment are simply steamrolled and the project gets done. Now, that’s not to say there aren’t legitimate reasons why people my go NIMBY on these kinds of projects, but that’s…

There will never be a production model Canoo, Rivian, Lordstown, or your fathers underwear branded EV. These are investment scams, and anyone putting their money in them is welcome to invest in my patented sharpimus antigravity shoos.

How wonderful. I’ve been in the market for a truck for months, but I refuse to pay more than MSRP. If they could leave the name of the previous owner somewhere in there I’d be happy to let them know a liberal homosexual is now driving their old truck to grindr hookups.

Can we just take a minute and call these companies what they are: scams. Canoo, Rivian, Polestar, and even to some degree Tesla are investment scams showing prototype next-gen vehicles they never intend to produce in volume. Tesla has actual products and the ability to mass produce things, so I’ll give them a pass for…

The economic damage for this should be billed against the company. Entities that are vital to the national economy can’t operate as normal businesses anymore.

Because of what this is, I think a novochok visit on Russian soil for everyone in this DarkSide group is due.

The salt water enema you will receive by jumping butt first could be quite refreshing.
