not a gun nut. if you don’t understand that the basic concept of due process is what protects all of us from the government randomly seizing possessions and imprisoning people without just cause then you are too dumb to breath.

sometimes following the law and the constitution results in bad outcomes, but on the whole…

there is this inconvenient concept of due process you seem to be forgetting.

Bambi - the mother’s murder and the fire scene. fuck that noise.

also, basically every animated disney movie has as a core premise a dead parent and an evil step parent. incredibly destructive both to children (regardless of home environment) and adult step-parents.

I was pretty much on board until I saw the slushbox console shifter.

these things are great with a stick. I drove the MT Skoda version of this in Germany as a rental car for 2 weeks and 10/10 would own.

has your hoarding reached David Tracy levels yet?  or have you left him in your dust... (by my count 2 busses, several…

a bike rack on a car is an incredibly common thing. if putting a bike rack on your EV is the difference between accomplishing the mission and failing, then the EV is not a suitable vehicle.

kind of destroys the whole point of the article that the Leaf is now Just Fine (tm)(r)(c)(Pat Pending)

particularly if you like to go bogging.  the winch comes in extra handy then.

purchasing a gun in Cali requires not just a federal background check but also have a Cali Firearms Safety Certificate.

there are further restrictions on specific types of guns…

did you try sliding the passenger seat back all the way (where it belongs so the passenger doesn’t obstruct your vision to the side)?

oops, meant to reply at top level..

I am still greatly perturbed that you haven’t upgraded this with the motor and battery from a first gen leaf.

when the laws are written buy businesses by businesses, guess who the laws are advantageous to.

oh, I totally would.

this, of course, is the problem with taxing “income” rather than revenue.

I’ve always liked GMC better than Chevy just because they looked better. somehow GMCs always had a better grill.

now they have become the Buick of trucks (i.e. more premium than chevy, but not as premium as caddy)

its in a parking lot.  it will suck.  they complain about the bumps at COTA, have you seen the typical indy car parking lot races?

so, the racetrack is in the parking lot of a football stadium 30 miles from the ocean....

I can’t imagine that “the Marina” and “The Beach” would have a good view....

well, I’ve lived in europe (germany) driven in paris, driven in tokyo, grew up outside NYC and now live in the boston area. never had a problem driving a stick in traffic and I’ve spent plenty of time in traffic jams. does an automatic make it easier? sure.  also makes it boring as all hell.

this is a guy who has structured his compensation such that his only income is capital gains (and at that is likely funneled through a “beneficial trust” which reduces tax burden further.)

he technically earns $0 every year and is paid in stock grants which the company deposits in an IRA and never sells (therefore not…

try and find a used leaf for sale.  there’s like 5 in the whole country according to carmax.

the hyundai lane keep assist (at least the one they had on the Sonata a few years ago) was fucking horrific.  would yank the steering wheel out of your hands if you were more than a foot off the center of the lane.
