Damn I feel bad for Marquez. He went from being the winningest MotoGP rider ever to injury after injury and surgery after surgery. His body couldn’t keep up with his mental prowess because even super motorcycle racers age. The biggest reason why Rossi had such a long career was that he was self aware. Rossi knew his…

Fuck dealers. They need to go away.

Sucks that the most exciting racing series got stuck with the worst tire manufacturer.

Smart move. This race is not the race even professional racers want to fuck around with faulty equipment in.

The Tacoma is s great truck because it’s inoffensive and it just works. It’s neither too big nor too small by modern standards. And it’s reliable.

Oof. I know the GRC and GRY are built in a different plant, but it would be foolish to assume that even those individuals on the number 1 deposit list for the GRC would be getting theirs in the year 2022.

Most pickup trucks, CUVs, and SUVs aren’t great for city driving. But brodozers in particular are horrendous.

Both. An in home charger would be a blessing. Assuming I can even find a home to buy.

I have looked at maps for charging stations, yes. I also try to keep an eye out when just driving along. There’s a paltry amount in my vicinity. If I owned an EV, I would have to go out of my way to charge it. The infrastructure isn’t here in the midwest. Congratulations to you on living your best EV life. Maybe one…

Yea sure it’s more convenient when you can charge at home. Not everyone has that luxury. When you don’t have that luxury, it becomes inconvenient. 

*doesn’t mean

With few exceptions, everything Netflix touches from another media platform, they ruin. Not everything needs a live action rendition.

I’m sure it’ll have a face only an engineer would love.

Congratulations. Just because you have that doesn’t others do.

Before markup.

Knowing how VW treats the US market like the red-headed step child, it wouldn’t surprise me if the US version is just the appearance package. But without the power upgrade and useless(but childish and cool) Emotion Start feature. Because that’s how VW does it.

Fair enough. For the record, I want EVs to succeed. But I also want them to be just as convenient as ICEVs. Just because you can find superchargers along your road trip route doesn’t mean others will. If people have to go out of their way, literally, on road trips to charge their EVs, it’s a tough sell.

A kindred spirit, I see. Days of ‘first new cars’ are long gone. Even still, I have a soft spot for hero versions of econoboxes because those are the cars I’ve seen growing up and when I made enough money to buy my own car, I bought my own hero version of an econobox, which was a 2006 Sentra SE-R Spec V. I was still…

Names mean something to me and many, many others. Sorry that they mean little to nothing to you. Your opinion will never change mine, so I’m done arguing with someone who grew up in a vastly different time than I did. What I remember is what I remember.

Yup. I wouldn’t have bat an eye at this if it were named the ILX. It would have just been another file for the ignore folder in the back of my mind.
