“aspirational mall crawlers” 

I was really hoping for the Jeep Crixus, but oh well...

It’s true! Electricity is not a fuel!

But the coal that the power plant burned sure was.

Suck it, losers! You’ve all been defeated by the ultimate in external combustion technology!

I like that in America, most of those would be seen as perfectly acceptable. In Japan, though, if it doesn’t look like it did in the picture? You failed.

Why would GM siding with CA surprise anybody? Look at the Big 3. Which one of them has invested the most time and money into developing EVs? GM.

I told OP not to honk 3 times and then Dukes of Hazzard it, but he wouldn’t listen...

Goddamn... I hate myself for lolling at this...

This is good journalism, Ishaan, and thank you for talking us through your methods!

Mix the two and we have a show about prostitution. Why hasnt somebody pitched this to a network, yet?

When I was in high school (Spring of 1999), we took a class trip to Europe. We were in a van/bus thing, heading towards Trafalgar Square and stuck in that miserable London traffic.

I’m a bit late to the show, but could it be a Suzuki? Both the Aerio and Kizashi have the raked windshield and tapering c-pillar.

Could I spend $48k for a vehicle that I intend to beat the shit out of, er “use”? Yes.

When the fuck did these utilitarian vehicles become nothing but suburban status symbols? Yeah, I’m looking at you, new Ford F-150 Ultra-Platinum Rhinestone Cowboy edition...

Then again, maybe I ought to lease one and let…

Well, Alaska, but hey...

17,500 mph. I wonder if that would be sufficiently supersonic transport for Mr. Clarkson.

I think you make a great point. I suspect its the existing sanctions against Russia more than anything to do with China.

We can pass whatever laws we want. We can even convince other countries to come a long with us. Ultimately, though, sanctions are toothless if no one else chooses to observe them.

Looks like a sportsman class short track car. You can go catch a couple dozen of these every Saturday night at your local racetrack.

Yeah. That’s a race transmission.
