But many taxpayers don’t feel that spending money here (on emissions controls/reductions) is good either. (Most of that money spent results in increased consumer costs and just subsidizes large for-profit companies, for instance.)

That 19 hour flight likely runs overnight though? When there is no flight available? I’d be curious what door-to-door and actual arrival time looks like. I know for me (BNL to MIN), even though the train is the longest duration, it actually get’s me to my destination at a better time than a flight and more rested than…

Exactly. They won’t do it on their own, because they’re not at that point in their development. People aren’t going to put their and their families lives on-hold to make someone here feel better about themselves and the environment. To the people in India (et al.), that cheap, polluting car might be their only ticket…

He only had the one, sorry. Also, these things don’t sell for that around here.

Which is why I don’t buy that it’s a real issue. It’s just a way to consolidate power and control...

Right, but who wants to support a greedy, outdated organization that is already one of the best-reimbursed in the country; especially when that support will lead to a direct cost increase for the person supporting said organization? What benefit is there to the purchaser? It’s illogical to expect the consumer to…

4th Gear:

Are we about the witness the rebirth of rail travel?

Air travel has become a joke. Squeezing more and more passengers into a tiny space while still increasing costs/fees and frustrations at the airport.

If I were in charge at UP or BNSF (the largest intermodal carriers), I’d be reaching out to Amtrak to see…

What did you think “wash/cleaning” meant??? Wash it, wax it, clean the interior, and it’d look as good as the one seen above. It wasn’t “mint”, and it wasn’t restored, but neither was the one on the show...

My friend’s was the same maroon color as well, with a tan interior though.

This is certainly the case. I know I look at things differently than most.

It did not. It drove itself onto the trailer to go to its new home. It was stock with the 360ci AMC V8 and a 3-spd auto. It ran well, the 4wd system worked, it wasn’t rusted out. It did have some fading on the wood panelling and the interior carpets were stained. It had decent mileage for its age and had been parked…

The first-gen PTs were great little cars. The second gens, not so much...

The JGW have NOT reached that status. A good friend of mine got rid of one just like the one seen above - though in need of a good wash/cleaning - for sub-$1K.

2" hitches still sway. A lot...

This is better Jalopnik. Simple, easy, effective, not political... Please do more pieces like this.

Look, some people will already know how to do this (like myself), but that doesn’t mean everyone does. Share the knowledge, man! Kudos! Don’t let some of these posters saying this is too simple keep you from running…

And yet you don’t support the second amendment?

You’re an idiot you needs to stop exaggerating everything. Your life must be miserable! How long has the sky been falling down on you???

The liberties and freedoms should be readily apparent to anyone paying half-assed attention to their lives and who values themselves. Our travel is being restricted and over-taxed.…

I completely agree. On my Charger, which uses a Bosch system, the ACC works very well. Sometimes it brakes a bit more aggressively than it needs to, but otherwise it works well. It’s often so smooth that I will not have noticed that I am not cruising at the speed I have set for quite some time, especially if the car…

You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink.

If the situation is that the boat goes over the rapids whether we keep paddling alone or not, then our paddling changes absolutely nothing and prevents us from doing something else that could at least save ourselves.

You need more stars and replies. You are absolutely correct.

Thanks for not calling these things “Autonomous” like Tesla does. They are AUGMENTATIONS, as you’ve stated. They assist the driver; they do not replace them.
