“You then ask for a car fax and/or other data to check the milage and the seller refuses to provide it.”

Dont forget Tesla/Musk Inc is setting up a huge G-Factory near Austin to “own the libs in CA” so yeah, the TX attorney general wants to score points in the hopes he moves more of his workforce there. Backscratching going around in every direction.

It’s fucking Ken Paxton. He should be in prison for various reasons. He’s probably just doing it for attention. 

My friend just got off of one, and no surprise to anyone, has COVID from the trip. 

Well, they generally don’t stop you from leaving a burning building.

It’s a reminder that trucks and SUV’s should be included in CAFE standards. These dumb things will be used as regular, on-road passenger vehicles for 90% of the time. Count them as such.

True but they like to complain about fuel c0sts with a 80mi commute and slap “I did that” stickers to everything but their own bumper.

And I’m sure many of the owners will post pics on social media of their gas bill at the pump stating “This is bullshit...”

The nth degree is a math thing. Saying to nth degree is basically saying to infinity. A lot of calculus stuff will use the limits from zero to n or -n to +n for equations. It can be useful for finding the limits of an exponential change, or where a curve flattens out the point that changing one variable has almost no…

Thanks for the hack advice from the late nineties but maybe it’s folly to make such broad assumptions from one loaner car

It depends on the car and the tires. Most tires have a “max inflation” limit that is higher than the auto mfgr’s “recommended” inflation levels on the doorplate label. I routinely run my tires a few PSI over the label, no ill effects, and my wear patterns have met or beat the tire’s warranty. Some will say that higher…

I don’t think anyone with any measure of intelligence is recommending ditching a perfectly good car for an expensive EV to save money. That argument comes in a little bit when comparing new cars when you’re ready to get one. Gas where I live is about $4.30/gallon right now. If I fill up once a week, that’s about…

“the toughest was finding a way to make 682 horsepower and 653 lb-ft of torque feel manageable”

fuck, this is dumb 

Is it good on gas?

It’s really not about the cars but about the lawless thugs operating them

Gargantuan pick up trucks and SUVs.  Do they make them bigger because we Americans are getting fatter?  I saw a new pickup parked next to a 2005-ish pickup and 2005-ish pickup seemed like a perfect size.  Maybe with gas prices hitting >$4.00 per gallon, stuff will start shrinking again.  Those things barely fit in…

Thank you for reminding me that ‘Cheddars’ even existed.  Now I also feel the need to re-watch Brooklyn 99.

Full Sized pick-up trucks with trailer hitches that can’t stay in their own lane or be contained to one parking spot. 

Lifted White Truck. I live in Texas so they are everywhere. At least the trucks in color provide some change in scenery, but Lifted White Truck is the BMW of Texas, especially in cities.
