To all the snowflakes that are going to have a case of the sads reading this, grow up. Everything is politics and policy. Whether you want to deal w/it or not.

Leaving work the other day I had one of the few pure automotive moments that seldom come in todays modern world.

“So, from a style point of view, Pop ups on most cars are cool.”

Let me tell you why this is wrong, and it is somewhat analogous to OPEC but it all boils down to competition. This is a bit of a simplification but bear with me: Once upon a time, prices were high because the OPEC members were sticking to their agreed upon output levels. Kuwait said, “hey we can make some extra…

To be fair, 12-15 million houses don't get sent to the shredder every year. Car manufacturers are in a much better position to maintain demand than homebuilders. 

I think the NSX looks better without pop-ups

As a person that owned a car with pop-up lights... all cars with pop up lights suck.

Hard agree! lol Hopefully if things work the way we want we’ll be getting some property in the middle of nowhere. Small house, huge pole barn or similar.

I’m fairly sure one day I’ll end up writing:

My Wife And I Own A Couple Of Dozen Cars, The City Isn’t Happy About It

Small cars are at odds with everything else they want.  I think they will be much happier with a longer wheelbase.  No time for looking up  pricing but this seems like a great job for a Lexus ES or if they want to be different a Buick.

Hadn’t seen that number. Makes a jump to the mid 8's in a more capable vehicle pretty impressive, let alone that the new trucks are rated 14.7 without AC. (Always conspicuously absent in these articles.)

USPS has estimated mileage based on their use cycle, not the typical EPA cycle. The Metris vans they are currently running get only 6.3mpg, much lower than 19/23 rating from the EPA.

My dude, high-speed rail is going to have the exact same barrier to entry as a hyperloop:

China wouldn’t be interested in pulling the plug on the U.S., mostly because that would hurt its own economy, but also because China itself depends on U.S. allies like Australia and Chile for raw materials.

Therein is a bit of a risk.  Xi is willing to shoot China’s economy in the leg for other gains.  It’s a bit like having a possessor of nuclear weapons who is willing to kill off much of his own country to make a point.

Fuel price in todays dollars

I think we tread on dangerous ground when you equate protestors to terrorists. Just like with the war on drugs, lots of laws have been enacted to combat “terrorism” because those are “bad guys” without fully thinking through the implications of that.

Dang bro. Burning people with some truth over here.

Proofread much?

It’s pretty clear you want to write about social issues, not cars.
