Electric vehicles are a plaything for the wealthy, and like most playthings for the wealthy, if you look behind them, they are a disaster. An environmental, economic and humanitarian disaster. Not only does lithium mining have a tremendous carbon footprint, its also a reactive metal which means its often tied up with…

Your mistake is in assuming America has a justice system. It does not. America has a legal system. There is a distinction.

No, I just don’t have a “I got mine so fuck you” mentality like spoiled shits like you do.

Yeah you’re right. We already grind the poor and destitute under our heels, so lets just light them on fire too.  You sound overprivileged.

This is among the problems that the push for electrification has. At least here in the states, I don’t think the people in power realize just how many poor, destitute people really, require a car to go to work. And they tend to live in places where they cannot pull it into a garage and charge it without someone coming…

Going to have to not only go no dice, but use the old term, crack pipe, total crack pipe. 10 large for a 20 year old GM product? Especially a 20 year old GM product from the turn of the century? No thank you. Run away rapidly.

Because the kind of person who has enough money to spend on something like this and then spends it on this monstrosity is the kind of person that thrives on sleaze.

Can they make batteries? I mean, making batteries is hard. And when it came to making the Supra, Toyota said making their own inline 6 sports car was too hard, so they had to rely on someone else to make it. I’m not sure that Toyota has the technical acumen and the knowledge to make batteries, if they can’t even make…

So before anyone comes in here to drag the cabbies through the mud, remember this: The city severely limited the number of medallions, which drove their prices through the roof. The city also offered loans to buy those medallions, sometimes up to a million dollars. They presented a situation where you would sell your…

Not one single car, but a platform: the General Motors N-Body. These cheap 80s and 90s runabouts powered by Iron Dukes and 60 Degree V6's became the hand-me-down chariots of millions of Millenials around the time that Fast and the Furious hit the theatres. These cars got hooned, drag-raced, jumped, filled up with…

Blizzard: We’re going to rename this character to distance ourselves from the low level fall-guy we pinned with the blame for the toxic culture that comes down from the top to protect Bobby Kotic.

Or, and stay with me here, we could BURN THE RICH and throw their ashes down a latrine. This kid is worthless, and will never be anything more than a failson, failing his way up and into power due to his father’s money. Let him swing and let the vultures pick his worthless billionaire bones clean. Nobody in the Munoz…

My first thought was, “Of course it has, it’s a Range Rover.” And then I realized you didn’t mean fluids.

Any GM product with the Tech4/Iron Duke engine. These mostly FWD beaters have been driving around America, running badly for longer than most luxury cars run at all. Yes, the headliner is sagging and everything in the interior is broken. But the spark plugs haven’t been changed in 15 years and the belt is twisted on…

I stand by my previous suggestion in the last thread:

Price is not that far off of a high-end road bike or a commuter bike. And the moped aesthetic is nice. I couldn’t see myself buying one, as I’ve got too many other expensive hobbies, but if you were the sort of person who lived in bicycle distance of work and wanted something to commute on, this would probably pay for…

No Dice.

Hyundai Accent. It’s a small car, cheap. Abundant. And utterly forgettable; It has no sporting credentials, it’s not something people dream of or lust after Unlike the Soul or the Telluride, it’s a car that you see, but you never notice; They’re everywhere, ubiquitous. They comprise corporate fleets of runabouts and…

This whole period, from the late 60s up until 1974, where Volkswagen knew the Beetle sales were not going to hold it u forever, when it kept trying new ways to remix the formula and bring sales back up, is super interesting. But it always comes back to one theme; Volkswagen was experimenting with so many ways to keep…

One problem with this however is that a lot of RV campgrounds, probably in an effort to keep away the ‘homeless rabble’, have age cutoffs on the RVs they will allow into the campground. It doesn’t matter if you have the mintiest factory-fresh RV in the world, you will be turned away if it exceeds the age cutoff for…
