Ugh, it’s insane. Like when my Dad says “Why don’t you buy a house?! Our first home in Toledo was $45,000!”

I hear you. I think she can think about her own issues in the marriage and still be mad as fuck about betrayal. When her husband has a (maybe physical but definitely emotional) thing with a mutual friend, it’s likely doubly horrible. They are both awful, in her view, and I think she should run with that (like with…

Disagree. Regular cab + bench seat is the only way to truck.

Some very popular writers love cars in the same way Seinfeld liked airline food.

Holden Coupe 60. Droooool.

and this never hitting the states

Hey David!You didn’t mention the Smart Charing USB Ports! This thing can grill a steak to perfection!

Hopefully the stripper models won’t be a pain to find. I hate when they use the base model price for advertising, and then make almost none of them as they push you to add more equipment.

I like that you can get it as a 2 door along the entire lineup. The base model sounds like a pretty good deal for what you get, as the 2.3 engine should move it along just fine. I’d give Ford all the stars in the world if they threw logic out the window and put in an old school floor selector for the part time 4wd…

This is a $100k+ luxury vehicle... if you can afford it, your carbon footprint is probably too big to actually care. This is aimed as a way to introduce EV pickups for GM. Make the first one aspirational to the crowd already buying Denalis and Escalades, then let the tech trickle down.

It’s too green wash the consumption. Which I guess is better than nothing. Arguably, the money probably would have been spent on something worst for the environment. It’s like people that own a Model S or X that live in a McMansion with 5 other cars, while claiming their helping the environment by owning a Tesla.

Gridlock traffic sucks regardless of your transmission.  Automatics suck regardless of traffic.

I’m a wagon guy, but currently driving a Jaguar 2014 XJ R that is sitting in the dealer service bay because it’s issues have outgrown my wrenching ability. I’d love to get into one of these Wagons after I dump the XJ. But I’ve learned my lesson on owning a Jag with no warranty left. Never again.

Believe that, if it brings you comfort.

~2 million EVs were built last year, worldwide.

You are 100% right, except...I bought a truck just like you described just a couple years ago, floor mats, crank windows, no power steering...for $950, a base model ‘97 Ranger. Thing is I would never have bought it new, and I don’t think most other people would now either, or they would make them that way.

See, that’s why I want a Mitsubishi mirage: I want people to think I have a massive hog

I don’t know how much Pennington himself is to blame. Like most reality programming, it was probably driven almost entirely by producers wanting shit that looked good on camera. People forget but the original Extreme Makeover was not a home edition but a show about plastic surgery. It came from a dark place where no…
