People like you have been predicting Tesla’s imminent demise for nearly a decade now, mostly because Tesla represents a serious threat to a wide variety of economic interests,

The market for FJs and 4Runners is elevated, but I’m sure you could argue that there is value due to above-average reliability. I swallowed my pride and bought a used Chevy Volt for $8,000. A 4-runner of similar year, mileage, features, etc, would have cost me about $22,000, plus an extra $1,200/year in fuel. 

This is a pretty good take. I looked at getting a used i3 as a cheap commuter, but it was still too expensive. Bought a used for Volt for almost half of what a used i3 would have cost.

LOL. We had an old conversion van when I was a kid. I had 4 brothers. There was a round slot in the floor that secured a removable table. At some point, the bottom of the slot fell out, which left just a hole staring at the ground. I don’t know whose idea it was, but it quickly became our pee-hole on long road trips.…

If you average 75 mph, that’s only one stop every four hours. You could drive 600 miles and stop once to recharge. That’s close to what you’d need to do in a gas car, of course you can use the bathroom and gas up in ten minutes, but for an EV an extra 20 or 30 minutes over 8 to 9 hours isn’t a big deal to most people,…

Too many electric car cheerleaders are overlooking that, or trying to come up with excuses why the extra inconvenience shouldn’t count as inconvenience, rather than looking for an actual solution.

Been driving a 2013 Volt for 6 months - had no idea this was a feature, and a pretty damn helpful one at that. I don’t mind getting flipped off for honking, I’m really more concerned with getting shot.

In principle it seems only fair that if dealers sell vehicles below msrp, they should sell more desirable/rare vehicles above msrp.

The angles remind me of the original NSX. Still my favorite (semi) obtainable car. Anyone know if if a mid-engine car inherently more expensive than a front layout(or is FM more precise)?

Any review would have shown the defensive goal tending by Kentucky - you can’t stick your hand through the rim and shake the rim/backboard. So the end result would have been exactly the same. 

Don’t start no shit, won’t be no shit

If I wanted a sermon, I’d probably swing by the local baptist church. Less preachy, too! The judgier, holier-than-thou, moralastic brow beating is a terrible look for the right-wing fanatics. I don’t know why the it’s been adopted by the New Left... currently their defining feature.

This was one of a few calls that went against the Saints - lost in the noise of the failed PI call is that Drew Brees got punched in the face on the interception play in overtime. That should have reversed the play and given the Saints the ball back. Surprise, no call. Yet Brady gets a roughing call for being patted…

My cousin’s car was parked in an outdoor parking lot. Car next to her (gas powered) randomly caught fire and took itself, her car, and two others out as well. The real concern is re-ignition. It’s not hard to just park the car 20-30 feet away from other cars and just let it sit. 

Nothing against trucks, but the current value proposition is terrible. Base models under 100k miles with a crew cab are going to start in the mid $15k range. For the price of a decently equipped Ranger, you could buy a new Lexus ES300 or Acura TLX that will blow it out of the water in every metric except hauling and…

Nice work, good stuff!

There it is, the Corvette Owner Uniform!

I don’t see the point behind retaining the Corvette name; it’s too much of a departure from what a Corvette represents. Calling it a Corvette will just piss off all the tennis shoe white socks tucked in t-shirt jort wearing diehards.

How did I know this happened in the UK just be reading the headline?

I just kind of assumed everyone in F1 was the son of a rich guy.
