The most surprising part about all of this is that Hertz didn’t try to immediately arrest all of the customers.

I’m just hoping that the horrors that they have planned are muted by what is sure to be incompetence and infighting at every level. 

I have driven cars from almost every era since the 70's in various conditions and have never once had to tighten an essential bolt like the one that holds the door hinge onto the body.  And ditto on never ever having an issue with a pedal, whether gas, clutch, or brake.  It blows my mind that this is happening on…

I always laugh at the people “I don’t have time to plug my car in all the time!” but you do have time to drive out of your way, stop at a gas station, and go through all that rigmarole every week. It takes 5 seconds to plug in an electric car. You sound like the type of person on your front porch yelling at the kids “G…

In Gen X, and I wish I had learned earlier to be a Boomer when it comes to sticking with good enough.

When you get down to it, EVs are not for everyone. They cost too much, take too long to charge and can be hard to find a charger for. If you drive a lot, have problems with finding an overnight charger and the like, get an ICE vehicle of some sort.

The secret to reduce range requirements is to have your workplace install chargers. Assuming you work 40 hours a week, a level 2 charger at your place of business allows for up to 400-800 miles of range added while the car is parked at your work place anyway.  Workplace charging basically means that for the Average…

Lol what is this revisionist history. I don’t own Apple products and that will probably continue but this completely ignores how much better the iPhone was at the time. BB had their own thing going on and they were doing well, but I had tried multiple touch screen phones before the iPhone and they were mid at best. It…

If you’re dumb enough to give Musk your money, I have zero sympathy for you.

What, pray tell, is a rolling bolder?

Hey, nothing says “let the free market decide” like the government quashing the competition!

Something something party of small government, blah blah blah free market, yak yak yak freedumb. 

if you’re registered head to a poll (and don’t vote GOP), if you’re eligible and not registerered, register asap. No matter what grief you have with Biden or the dems (and many griefs are legitimate) not voting and not voting dem have short and long term consequences that we can not take lightly. 

That’s a widespread myth, but exists neither in the California DMV Handbook nor in the actual law (even though even some police officers believe this myth). The only “3 second” rule that exists in the Handbook is the following distance.

You’re not killing anything at the speed you do a “california stop” through.  If you kill someone at a stop sign, it’s not because you rolled through it slowly. No, that’s called blowing through a stop. That’s completely different.

Actually I am speaking from experience with two stop signs within a mile of my house that get blown through all of the time.

Why am I not surprised that ex-LAPD’s first response is to threaten violence.

And every morning when you wake up, you could stand on your head.

Stopping for two seconds is inefficient in time, energy, and morale when there is absolutely no one in sight.
