I was under the impression those court records were sealed, you’ll be hearing from my attorney.

My Grandpa told me the vroom vroom sounds historically used to come from the engine not the speakers but that doesn’t even sound remotely believable. I think he’s going senile. The other day he claimed exhaust used to come out of the chrome tips on the underside of the bumper.

It had been so long I forgot that a grill can be used to let air in

Don’t listen to this dude, Erik. You drink as much as you want. Just don’t die or, ya know, become dependent.

“Vaporware” has been a thing for a long time.

They pushed something not even the auto industry at the time (at least the majority) was asking for. I don’t see a way that reporting on these regulations and their…

I fucking hate politics, so my gut reaction is to agree with you. But I had to watch the same god damn ballot question advertisement about how right to repair would allow your private mechanic to stalk and murder your family like 78 times last night. Sponsored by a collection of manufacturers. If cars are removed from…
