You kid, but this is why I will trust Ford and GM’s AV systems before any of the startups testing in the southwest. I’m picking the system developed to handle a Michigan winter before the system developed on the picturesque roads of the American SW 10/10 times.

Lol, I borrowed my Uncle’s ‘65 Vette to take a girl to a drive-in once. I tested them before I left his place.

lol, I get in pretty deep on the woke urban planning type stuff, but you can tell you’ve gone too far when you get to the “dirt roads are better” crowd

Indeed. Had a very fun conversation with my dad when he got back from Italy for the first time on this sort of topic.

Don’t know about the rest of the country, but in the Midwest, it’s definitely Michigan, and just about everyone here knows it too.

I realize that its more of a safety thing now than anything else (either the weirdo thing wasn’t safe, or making the car safe is so expensive now they can’t afford to put money into weirdo stuff and keep the price down), so there is no comic-book-esque supervillain to shake our fists at...

Seriously, LeClerc is flat out willing that thing to good quals and finishes. Getting 4th behind only Max and the Mercs, and almost stealing 3rd from Bottas, this past weekend was absolutely heroic in car the team has pretty much given up on.

Yeah, was gonna mention these saying but overhead cables and pantographs would be a bit of a different can of worms. Wonder which of them has a better cost-benefit analysis.

“But we have said we will go for it. We will deliver the chicken. Someone else can deliver the egg”

Love the idea. Would have hoped something like this (or maybe a 3rd rail type thing) made it into Biden’s infrastructure bill given charging infrastructure really is the last hurdle with BEV’s. 

FFS, yes. As much as I love roadkill, I’ve only watched a couple new episodes since they moved to the app and stopped showing up on my youtube homepage. 

I’m a fan of Rob too but I’m worried he’s going to sort of overpower the show and everyone else. It’ll only work if he isn’t too in your face about everything. 

Miss my large adult son every day. Only got rid of him at the 150k mile-mark because after needing a brake job, fuel pump, and water pump in quick succession, my parents talked me into leasing a cheap small truck for my new job that was needing me to drive 150 miles a day. All my mechanic uncles told me it would have…

Think that would be the first V8 FWD since the DTS, which, um, yes.

IT ISN’T MY FAULT THE AUSTRALIANS MADE A CAR THAT I COULDN’T AFFORD WHEN IT WAS NEW AND HASN’T LOST ANY VALUE IN FIVE YEARS

Bingo. I remember looking up the market for a 70's Dodge Monaco if I ever decided to make a Bluesmobile replica. They’re cheap, but there aren’t any of them within 100 miles of you.

AND FUCK IT, BRING HIS BROTHER WHO’S THE CARPENTER

Neutral: YOU KNOW GOTDAM WELL WHAT THOSE MOTHER FUCKERS SHOULD DO

What in the hell!?!?!? That’s insane. 

Right, this is the key breakaway from European cities. They were built around being walkable from the very beginning, and hence, all they ever had to do was build a train station somewhere in the middle of town to not need cars. Making two forms of transit necessary, whether it is driving to the suburban train stop or…
