1st Gear: Manchin is a piece of entitled, self-interested crap who should be forced to sit out any vote that he has a conflict of interest in, as should every politician. Will that cause gridlock? Maybe, but at least there will be some accountability.

I’m with you.  If this was some clapped out $1500 heap, wearing “Patagonia Milestar” tires, OK.  But this is $17k for a 33 year old 2WD truck.  Buy some Michelins. 

This ad is a scam. Pictures are from a vehicle from Michigan that sold on BaT in 2021 for $15,750.

I was down, even without 4wd because whoever bought it would never put this truck in a position to use it. It’s a lot of money, but for a unique truck that seems to be in good shape.

I love this idea, but apart from funding things like this I guess we should all adapt to another mindset; to be more patient. We don’t need things the same day, or even in 3 days. We’ve always managed perfectly without fast delivery. But because we always want things fast and preferably NOW, huge amounts of energy are…

I would say the legacy looks “below average” 

If this ends up working, that would be awesome.

This is a great project, and a necessary step toward ending the use of fossil fuels globally.

Wind powered ships. The future is here...

I was taken by surprise to find out these are still in production...

So if we consider the ‘average’ car of 2023 to be a FWD based 5-seater CUV with an MSRP of $30-$35K (base + a few options) with an available Hybrid variant and styling that is neither too bland or too aggro, I think the Ford Escape fits the bill.

Equally generic owners for the most part too.

New CR-V - I think I saw one recently, but it might have been an HR-V? I mean, it’s 15 feet of perfectly adequate, it’s not overdone like the RAV4, or as bold and relatively weird as the Rogue and Outlander, it’s just An Car.

Nissan Rogue.

This freaking thing could have any badge and would look correct; Honda, Toyota, Ford, you name it.

…and why subscriptions for features in your car are going to bleed us all in the future… thanks Tesla and BMW. 

I think it’s about the capacity to haul more people. If you have two kids and two parents, you only need two rows. But if you have three and you need to haul friends and relatives too - you can. And if you don’t need to haul them, you’ve got a lot of space for luggage, groceries, pets, sports equipment and so on.

Who knew the Canyonero would end up with a cargo bed?

“Don’t worry: Ram is proud of what it has done here”

500$ was worth it, F anyone who complains about that glorious soundtrack!
