I know this post is a joke, but I’ve heard this said so many times unironically that my blood pre-emptively started boiling in frustration even though you’re not being serious.

The whole “minivans are uncool” thing is ridiculous on it’s face. You ceased being a cool person when you had kids, buying a tarted up wagon with plastic wheel arches isn’t going to fool anyone. Just get the damn minivan, it’s the best tool for the job.

Neutral: Did you personally decide against upgrading to a new car? What stopped you from buying? 

Duh, anybody with an F-body with T-tops could tell them all about GM and leaks.

And yet you seemed to fit very comfortably in a 2-D pane of glass with a couple other people, Zod. Get over it.

I mean, you could search and find out pretty good studies that take this into account for a total life cycle analysis. In the end, it ends up being a case of if you value total green house emissions vs land fill & recyclability vs total energy consumption. Electric cars come out ahead for emissions (even if your power…

More than that, I’m delighted. In Fridley Minnesota in 2010, a loud pipes shop opened about 600 feet from my house. It drew bikers from miles around. All hours of the spring summer and fall, they’d open the throttle on the 60 MPH highway adjacent to the store and half a black from my house. You couldn’t sit outside…

Have you tried The Sun Also Rises? Worth it.

Well, they could side with the California states, which are pushing for a higher emissions standard. Siding with the Trump admin, who are pushing for a lower standard, is literally a

The other thing that makes The Good Place Committee like your typical NY Times and NPR subscriber is they’re all safely insulated from the demons around us.

Trump is probably the biggest problem facing our country at the moment. A completely unqualified imbecile destroying vast swaths of the economy with his moronic tariffs while trying his best to start world war 3. His sole claim to fame is he rode Obama’s economy for 3 years.

The new systems literally will NOT recognize components, unless a John Deere Representative comes out and runs their recognition USB key to unlock the tractor.

This would be like if you needed to change the brakes on your car and could only go to the dealership, because the moment you removed the wheel, the engine…

I think the problem isn’t just ‘needing a computer’. If I remember right, it’s like dealer only diagnostic tools with cars. It’s that it has to be a Deere authorized mechanic with a proprietary set of hardware that they won’t sell you, and you can’t just use any old laptop.

Yeah, here’s a quote from one of the earlier…

There’s a lot of people who think that because I’m overtly car-maniacal, I’ll go along with whatever anti-bike nonsense they’re going to parrot. Second to cars, my favorite transport method is cycling.

And this is exactly why 99% of modern super/hypercars bore me. What exactly is the point if the only way to appreciate their abilities is to have access to a handful of huge racetracks? It’s just a store of a value for the uber-rich. It’s the bitcoin of cars. Oh sure, people could use it as intended, but no one does. 

“It’s an engineering triumph the same way that a machine that can instantly cover a corn dog in 24K rose gold would be: technically impressive, but a fundamentally stupid and useless way to shout how rich you are.”

Every day Jason finds a new and impressive way to make me incredibly proud to work with him. I adore this…

Came for the Bimmer joke.

We’d like to promptly announce we are pulling all operations out of Washington state. - BMW.

“no automaker can match Tesla’s growth”

Glad someone else finds that stupid GM commercial absolutely idiotic.
