UPS isn’t the US Postal Service, so no need to thank the mailman. Thank the boys in brown.

As a cyclist (both road and MTB), I am constantly reminded of how dangerous American roads are for us. I see a story like this pop up on my local cycling groups about once a month, at least. We had a local man killed last year while cycling. He was a retired veterinarian and rode about 15k miles/year.

To properly incentivize EVs we should make it very simple. I don’t care of AGI caps, or Vehicle cost caps. Using some back of the napkin calculations, if the EV does less than 1.2 miles per kWh, it is no more efficient than burning gas. We want to incentivize high efficiency per passenger.(luckily even the Hummer EV…

I was a Cadillac Lyriq buyer with the tax credit and now I’m not. $7,500 difference was a dealbreaker for me. So I’ll continue to wait.

We are walking away from our Mach-E order that should be on the dealership lot any day now.  With the $8k MSRP bump the day we placed our order, and now on top of the fact it doesn’t qualify for the rebate, that’s a $15k hit we just aren’t willing to swallow.  Could we do it?  Yes, but we don’t need to.  It would be…

For real, an electric Miata is my only hope for an EV I’d actually buy from literally any manufacturer, based on anything I’ve seen.

If they dropped an EV Miata in the next three years My dick would arrive at the dealership an hour before I did it would be so hard. 

I wouldn’t say amazing so much as having top notch healthcare. That’s the frustrating thing about healthcare in the US. It’s gated by what sort of insurance a person can afford or has access to. This was driven home to me years ago when my mother had to have bypass surgery and she ended up in cardiac arrest due to…

I think it is time for a round of What horrific injuries did our readers sustain while working on cars, I’ll go first.

lucky you you must be one of those people that cannot accecpt something that has not happened to you congratulations. and I do not want to hold up the drive through. So SORRY the world does not all act and think like you. here is a picture of me waking in a drive thru and if you are doing the drive thru how would you…

Many fast food places are so short staffed that the lobbies are closed. I have had to walk through a few drive thru’s this year. Checking your order in a drive thru is holding up the line and not as easy. 

Some writers just jump off the page. Some because of the beauty of their prose, some for the amazing thought that went into crafting a world for the reader, but they all make you FEEL something.

Absolutely devastated. He was not having a good time the past few years, and so this is a bummer of a conclusion to a bummer of a story that he and his family tried to make the best of. I cannot imagine how much worse things would be if not for the insurance available through Kotaku, which even then he encountered…

There are incintives for solar installation, although one could argue they should be higher.

Solar panels should definitely be on most new construction.  More wind needs to be installed too.  A recent study showed that painting just one blade of a turbine reduces bird strikes by 72%, so that becomes much less of a worry/talking point.

A BMW i8, which is a beautiful, gorgeous car that doesn’t get enough love for reasons I can’t quite understand. 

Sorry, didn’t get a picture. Sad. Anyway, Porsche 918 Spyder. I heard it before I saw. Gawd, that machine is loud!

Saw a Prowler — purple with stripes and a nice, loud exhaust — rolling out of my local Costco on Saturday morning.

Lotus Esprit Turbo. Original wedge. Had the black US spec bumper and “Turbo” printed on the side. Didn’t matter, as I could hear the turbo burble as it went past!

Was behind a very cool ‘32 Ford hot rod which got away from me before I could get any pics.
