Nothing worse for gainz than half your arm being burned off.

Reading some of those articles, which are perfectly corroborated by the dozens of books on the biggest failure in world corporate history, General Motors, is maddening. I hate to bash a company for sins of the past, sins that they appear to have since learned from and pleaded forgiveness for, but damn....it’s…

Well played.

Rapheal strikes me as the automotive business equivalent of the guy who never played or coached a down of football in his life, has no insights during the game, but breaks down everything a team did wrong and what he would have done (with 20/20 hindsight) after the game.

Every article I’ve read from every blog comments on how insanely ugly it is, followed by dozens of comments agreeing it is awful. You may have “unique” tastes, which is fine - it takes a village :) 

That’s been a great series of vids so far. Interesting stuff!

Head in the sand is thinking electric vehicles that are still not proven to be profitable, make up less than 1% of the market and that have minimal infrastructure in place to support, are going to magically take over the world overnight. People drive used cars for decades. People live in rural areas. People drive…

Not sure WTF you’re talking about. They are European jobs building European products for the European market; a market that everyone appears to have trouble making a profit in. Maybe don’t try so hard to bring politics into everything.

“Working in unfair conditions.” 

IT Engineer, I presume? lol

...or more. My 600-lb Life is on season 7. But as long as they’re healthy, right?

I think you’re using a minuscule sample of extreme personality (that are probably buying used trucks) to apply to the millions that buy a truck every year. I think fuel economy would be a great draw for buyers.

Crazy finding car and boat enthusiasts on an automotive site. 

Plus side - it’s summer, so the drive to Dearborn just got a lot shorter. The drive back from Dearborn....that’s another story. 

When OPEC cuts supply, shale producers ramp up production from an endless supply in the Permian. This is why $100/barrel oil isn’t likely to return anywhere in the near or mid-term future. OPEC is f***ed with their decades long practice of price manipulation and economic blackmail.

I don’t think anyone is asking or cares about your sympathy, nor is anyone whining about the added expenses of living outside of a city because the added expenses do not exist - suburbs are exponentially cheaper than major cities and are superior in every form of comfort other than spending a little time in the car…

Finding work where you can find it and finding an affordable & safe place to live isn’t much of a choice for people. What an outrageously entitled and presumptuous statement to make based on what is no doubt a minuscule sample of wherever you live. 

While you may be correct, development of US cities in already in a pretty advanced state, so if your solution is redesigning cities, you don’t have a solution. We need to identify solutions that fit within the reality of the United States.

Exactly. Whacko extremists on the same side of the global warming battle can’t relax with their non-fact based obsessions to allow for actually solving the problem.
