police chases over trivial shit should stop. “ooh look, his plate is expired, lets chase him!”, “ohh, a black guy in a fancy car”, “ooh, his taillight is out”, “ooh, he cali rolled that stop sign”...  send a ticket with the dashcam video and be done with it.

but this was a felony stop from the get go.  good reason to…

just about any RV is going to be better at being an RV and just about any trailer mounted tiny home is going to be better at being a tiny home.

neither will cost you $80k and require you to drive a 1999 ford box truck with 85k on the odo.

you can get a 2011ish 34 foot tiffin or fleetwood class A RV with ~20k on the odo…

technically it is anything north of the westchester/putnam county line or on the wrong side of the hudson. basically anything that makes commuting to the city (to new yorkers there is only one city) more painful than a 45 minute ride on metro north.

why does it make me all tingly down there?  especially in red.

anything small and english. MGB, Midget, TR6, Spitfire, Mini, Sunbeam doesn’t matter.

the mechanicals are dirt simple and easy to access. The Dark Lord, Darth Lucas, will ensure you learn electrics. they are light and small (easy to push, lift and store even in a small garage). most of all, they are 100% fun all the…

I don’t care how many horsepower it has, it still couldn’t outrun the ugly.

no, they wouldn’t.

all corporate income taxes in the US total (on average) less than $300B/year

us businesses generate ~$20T in revenue every year. that means they pay about 1.5% of total revenues in taxes every year (collectively). many gigantic companies (cough amazon, google, apple) pay effectively $0 in taxes…

no fault == your fault.

the biggest scam the insurance companies ever managed to pull. saved them billions in lawyer fees, reduced payouts by hundreds of billions, raised rates by hundreds of billions.

it is not any less safe than the previous car. they are now reducing scores based on not having autobraking and OnStar type features. it was the 14% on the accident notification services that really drove the score down.

the * ratings are a moving target every year and the exact same car that got 5 stars a year ago…

companies should be taxed on revenue, not profit. profit is too easy to manipulate.

the classic move is for a company to sell its IP to an offshore company, then pay all margin above break even as an “IP Licensing Fee” to the offshore thereby netting $0 profit.

sadly there will probably be a VW fanboi bidding war that will drive this thing up to $27K then in a few months we will see it set up as an overlanding “westie-doka” driven by a waxed handlebar mustachio’d patchouli stinking hipster with curated ripped jeans and a spicoli knockoff drug rug and slip on checkerboard…

how, exactly, is one supposed to pronounce that alphabet soup of a name?

die-you-nurse-T?

3rd gear: are we all just taking Nissan/Japan’s word that Ghosn was corrupt and fleecing Nissan now? IIRC there were a lot of shenanigans called when the story first broke calling into question the credibility of the accusations....

I mean yeah, he fled the country, but you would too given the apparently indefinite…

get fucked you sanctimonious selfish prick.

just because you don’t like how some people choose to/are able to enjoy the outdoors doesn’t mean you get to dictate how they do it.

this is not a track car, why would you expect it to be able to stand up to track car usage?

a more interesting (and relevant) test would be how do the brakes do coming down the passes on I-70 between Denver and Grand Junction or on a spirited drive on the tail of the dragon or one of the cali canyons. if it has…

You are confusing RVing with camping.  Not everyone wants to be cold and wet and uncomfortable while seeing the country.

come on, for $140 and 6 hours of David Tracy’s time she can have the most powerful hooptie on Jalopnik

looking into it a little further: renogy already makes suitable house batteries that weigh 1/3 what comparable lead/acid batteries do. the Onan generators used in RVs are relatively heavy so between eliminating the Gen and replacing the Lead/Acid house batteries, you could get 6x the capacity (typical house capacity…

two problems - weight and boondocking.

weight is already a huge issue with RVs as most of them are at or over the GVWR & GCWR just in normal use unless the owner is super thoughtful. battery “generators” are heavy.

second is boondocking. a lot of RV owners will boondock waaay off the grid for a long time and the battery…

you need to give that motor the GNX treatment. the 3.8 can take some booooost.

the flaming chicken needs to earn its keep
