Jalopnik: Drive free or die.

How fortunate your wife’s ancestors were that no other indigenous ancestors were slaughtering them before Europeans arrived.

Some people see others with more than them and strive to be like them.

Seriously, Raphael, what the hell is wrong with you? Were you dropped on your head as a child? Did you eat lead paint chips off the wall? Were you one of those kids that consumed Tide Pods?

Neutral: How about a tax on non car ownership. All those people who are getting the benefit of the roads without having to be on them is really unfair. I mean you can probably rake in billions from NYC alone. Think of all the goods they get delivered and they don’t even pay for the roads that bring them there.  Bunch…

The dipshittery is real.

2nd Gear: So you honestly have a problem with a company that by your own words helps stranded people? This has to be bait right? No one is this callous around the holidays.

Its my personal opinion that this is the real place for EV’s right now. Not to say that I don’t think the electric vehicle isn’t the future. What I mean is that if you have limited resources, you put them to best use first. The truth is that we can’t scale up EV vehicles with the current battery technology right now,…

You could get a V8 (5.3l LS) in a Colorado/Canyon from ‘08 to ‘12, but, good luck finding one for “Good Price” deal.  Not a ton of them were made and they fetch a premium no matter what. 

A 2021 Silverado is 75.49"

Car purchases are rarely logical. The American road trip is a romanticized concept. Whether people actually take them or not, it’ll be hard for some to imagine buying a car that isn’t at least capable of road tripping without long delays for charging.

I’d argue the Ram has the best implementation of it since it’s wide enough to be useful. Ford’s versions are too narrow.

It looks terrible.

This is kind of rare, but this thing leaves me completely cold, unmoved, and care-less. 

What the author, and by extension the bloggers and publishers of this site, don’t understand is that we are not idiots and live in the real world. This is just about the last straw for me for Jalopnik. TheDrive has better content. Jalopnik steals half it’s good blogs from them anyway. I’ll miss the comments over here…

Seems like it should be 29,272 - (90*52) - 6000 - (25*12) = $18,292 profit. The unknown factor is excess depreciation due driving an extra 36,500 miles this year, and the extra cost of insurance which is alluded to but not actually given. Neither of those are going to add up to $18,000.

Yeah, I read this climactic paragraph several times trying to make sense of it:

Yeah, this not an accurate assessment. What you’re really saying is:

Was going to say, that’s not how it works, that’s not how it works at all. IRS reimbursement rate can’t even be applied in this situation, it’s irrelevent.

Tax income does not equal actual income. That 58 cent per mile assumption is going to be way higher than actual expenses for your car because it’s based on averages for work vehicles, most of which are big trucks/vans, not a tiny cheap sonic. Your fuel cost is probably ~7 cents per mile. Your repairs at 6K over 50k…
