daily quota of tesla bashing... CHECK!

none of that would surprise me in the least. Alonso has no fucks to give and it seems that almost every time he leaves it is on bad terms, but he is so talented that teams keep signing him.

there is no job in the world that is worth enough to spend more than an hour a day commuting.

for _years_ I had a sub 10 minute commute and the value of the extra family time I got every day is hard to express.

my current job, where I’ve now been for coming up on 13 years, was intended to be a very temporary landing spot while I looked for something better because I needed to GTFO of my previous toxic work environment (boss was a shitstain who would regularly fuck over his people for his own personal benefit)

turned out the…

your moral is generally considered one of the upsides of girls ;P

there is no reason to change the design rules other than to drag everyone down to Merc’s level.

I watch every single practice, quali and race.

the _only_ team that has significant, ongoing porpoising issues is Merc. this is clearly down to _their_ design and setup decisions. they have shown repeatedly that they can stop their porpoising problems by raising their own car a few mm (at the cost of some performance). they have repeatedly shown this year that…

nobody is making them.  they are starting to make a niche in scooters in asia, but nowhere else.

It would be nice if you could get the upgraded driveline and skidplates on the XLT FX4 package, since (for me at least) the higher payload and towing capacity are mandatory, but I would still like to protect the dangly bits and have the more better diff and stronger half shafts.

hopefully at least the skid plates will…

if this keeps up, it is going to be Verstappen, Perez, Russel, Hamilton, Leclerc at the end of the year.

downside is taxis (particularly in NYC) have zero downtime to waste charging. most of them are hotboxed 24-7

absolutely - every single car in GATTACA - the Avanti, DS, Continental, DS and OG Riviera

how many times did it break down between when you picked it up and got it back to your driveway?

there is a shit ton of evidence that the parkways were built with low bridges to keep the blacks and hispanics out.

what the hell is a school bus doing on the Hutch in the first place? it is a non-commercial passenger vehicle only parkway. one of the ones with the deliberately low overpasses to keep the busses full of black people from using it to get to westchester.

li-fe-po batteries have been around a long time and have a strong reputation in the RV community as well as solar backup. if weight is not a critical factor, you get a lot more Amp hours/$ in about the same volume and they also are somewhat less likely to catch fire.

quite nice looking Accord you have there. when did they start making an R model?

because the oil cartel decided a while ago to charge $1.20 more per gallon for diesel. they are “pricing per BTU” not against costs.

but hey, the oil companies only want what is good for us, right?

paid 3.94/gallon this morning.
