Actually, there is such a small difference in the quality of materials and fabrication in those $200 jeans versus the $9 ones. Save having a pair tailored for exact fit, there really is not much difference, just better marketing by the expensive ones, adding an air of exclusivity. But then, that is the whole trick of…

1st Gear: Mercedes And BMW Are Still On Top, But For How Long?

Clicked the link, and a used 10 year old TUG-50 runs around $15-20K (US dollars) reconditioned. Add in parts costs, and likely a mechanic to service them, and the Neons make so much sense it hurts. If one breaks down, the local parts store or pick-n-pull has the replacement parts. And the most local of yokels seems to…

Well, trains have been diesel/electric hybrids for a very, very long time, and don’t seem to be looking to adapt to electric only. Short range delivery vehicles are looking to adapt to full EV in record time, now that many EU city centers are requiring it. But semis, or long haul trucking, needs to go hydrogen to be…

As much as I would like to agree, I can’t fully do so. Pence may be a suck up, a coward, a religious idiot way over his head, but he cannot invoke the 25th because it just won’t cure anything.

I don’t disagree with your assessment, but...

You keep quoting that 55% own stock. Yes, that is technically correct, as stocks make up a large portion of people’s 401K retirement plans. But how many individuals own - or more importantly, actively buy and sell - stocks? And can we agree that the majority of firms that provide the 401K investment packages are the…

Neutral: If Tesla Is In A Bubble, What Happens After It Bursts?

As logical as your idea may be, it would never happen.

Let’s ask Vladimir Putin.....

C’mon, guys, answer the fucking question. One or the other. Not “buy something better, used”, that is not the answer to the question, whether that is a better choice or not. The question is simple: A) Mitsubishi or B) Chevrolet. There is no other choice.

The really funny thing about Saudia Arabia building a factory to produce Lucid product is that they will not be able to staff it unless they bring in more foreign workers. Because Saudi workforces are not made up primarily of Saudis. And many folks are not coming to Saudi Arabia to work, as they have seen how they…

I really do admire her, and cannot imagine how far back we would be without her, but she did overstay. And that is more common than not. Especially in the judiciary, where a lifetime appointment is usually taken by the appointee to mean until they drop dead. That was never the idea, or if it was, it was using the idea…

Ah, pressed cuban toast. Only made better by adding bacon and cheese. Tampa cuisine at it’s finest. Well, that or a good devilled crab from the Seabreeze.

I will never be fully vested in agreeing to term limits. A person who is effective should be able to serve for a good long time, as long as the age limiting rules apply to provide an end date. Because if you have a talented person go in to the Senate at 33, like Ossoff, and he ends up being term limited to 2 six year…

Welcome to adulthood, Aimee.

If not now, when?

Thanks, I appreciate it. If Jalopnik calls, or emails, I am more than willing to share my cranky views with the world.

True. But then, he lost. That means he could not make his own base happy enough to keep him in office, and AOC took his seat.

Can you at least attempt to be original? Or are you just limited to repeating slogans from memes?
