A lot of newer full sized trucks have gotten so big and tall that they are becoming impractical. It now requires a step stool or ladder to get to the bed. If I want to throw stuff in the bed having it that high is not at all useful. 

Right!

the movie sucks. the end.

It was a once in a lifetime experience. They took us to a huge facility that had all of their concept cars dating all the way back to the Buick Y job. And the next day we went to their design center. They had huge studios for all of the different brands. We had to turn in our cell phones because there were clay models…

At this point I cannot thing of a single vehicle that Nissan makes that I would be interested in buying. Such a shame. They used to be right up there with Toyota and Honda in terms of quality but they are now bottom of the barrel garbage. What in the hell happened?

“It’s not immediately clear what caused the incident”

Probably flammable stuff. Just my guess.

The issue with CVTs is that the manufactures are lying about fluid change intervals. Whereas some say its a “ Lifetime” fluid or doesn’t need to be changed until 150,000 miles that’s bullshit. With these kinds of transmissions you HAVE to change it every 40-50k. If you do that then they are fine. But most don’t know…

Our volt was a perfect commuting machine. Charged at home on a 120 volt line, charged for free at work. I was very enthusiastic about the car. Way back in 2006 when GM announced the initial prototype they had a corp. blog and eventually they invited 60 of us from that blog to come to Detroit, meet Bob Lutz, Ed Welburn…

We have come a long way. I was an early adopter of both hybrids and EVs. We owned a 2002 Prius and then a 2011 Chevy Volt. The Volt took hours to charge for a 38 mile EV range.

You have to realize Americans are super lazy and for many they cannot be bothered sitting around for 15-20 minutes to charge a car. That and…

1st gear:
The “ Newness” of EVs has worn off. They are no longer seen as unique or special. And as such some of their shortcomings are less acceptable. We are getting closer but its still a minor inconvenience for some who don’t want to spend an hour or 2 plugged up to a supercharger. They are also still expensive…

Seeing as how the GOP got its ass kicked yesterday I think we might not have to...

No, its really not that complicated. Trump is an active and ongoing threat. And those who choose to ignore it are no different than those who ignored an equally audacious person who ALSO attempted a coupe and ALSO came back to power afterwards. That person was Adolph Hitler and he systematically changed Germany into…

I am not necessarily disagreeing with that you are saying. But this really does boil down to two choices and one is many, many magnitudes worse than the other. As far as what is happening in Israel, Netanyahu isn’t listening to anyone. The US tried to get them to agree to a temporary cease-fire and instead they bombed…

You are making this too complicated. There will be two candidates: Trump and Biden. Whom would you rather be president? You asked if that was a real rational argument. It is. Because that is reality. Anything else is dishonest.

And while I personally also do not like Biden’s steadfast support for Israel I also didn’t…

Whats happening in Gaza is truly horrific. And that is precisely when Israel started their offensive moves that Biden specifically said not to make the same mistakes that we in the US made in the aftermath of 9/11. Its also the reason Blinken has been there for weeks trying to get Israel to tamp it down. You want to…

I wish he fucking would. He, Putin, and all of the other nasty fuckers trying to ruin our lives.

And what will that prove? You realize that if enough of you vote 3rd party then Trump wins.... right? Yeah. That guy. The guy who says he wants to bomb Mexico. The guy has made it clear he will remove anyone who opposes his ideas and install lawyers that won’t get in the way of his plans to turn the US into a…

I agree... but.... this serves as a wakeup call that as much as we here absolutely hate Trump its important to remember that approximately 35% of the country are every bit as for him as we are against and they will be showing up en mass at the polls. Like it or not Trump does stand a actual chance of winning in 2024.…

If there was anyone who should have a fatal heart attack or get incurable cancer, its this guy. I’m so fucking tired of hearing about him and wish he would just go away.

First of all, Chrysler needs to learn from the mistakes from GM when they came out with the Volt. We owned one for 10 years and even towards the end of owning it, I had to explain that yes, it had a gas engine AND a battery and that the battery could power the car exclusively until it ran out afterwards the engine…
