Neither brand is known for reliability or fit and finish. Offer them in brand exclusive colors. All bright green Dodge Hornets come with spare plastic splitter guards.

1st Gear Any word on the age, condition and inflation of the tires? Did the truck meet safety requirements for when it was built? 2002 F150 will not perform the same as 2022 F150. Tire born dates exist because of past tragedy. I swap tires out regardless of mileage after 6yrs.
Tires have a large variation of compounds. Prius tires are made differently than Semi truck tires. Tires are made to compress and move. Something undesirable for structural protection. Might be OK for sidewalks.
Some municipalities no longer pursue over due fines. It's possible the driver is homeless. What was the trigger for this stop? Minor infraction the city should be held largely liable. Felony stop might lower the city culpability.
If the tipping point for EV adoption is years or decades away it seems shortsided for manufacturers to abandon new ICE engine R&D. Would be cheaper, easier and greater impact for OEM’s to adopt 100% hybrid tech while also working toward EV adoption. Current EV tech does not pencil out with low winter Temps or high…
Edsel was a fantastic bomb. Honorable mention to 2014 - 2020 Explorer with rear hvac that tried to poison the compartment with Carbon monoxide. 6.0l Diesel that broke under stock power levels. Ford Focus with dry transmission that has no fix for bad engineering.
US should ban all crypto mining. Lower demand should lower the price for everyone else. Utility capacity is already a problem for charging electric cars.
Never understood why Swift is famous. Has she tried to offset the impact by taking medical supplies to wherever the Jet is headed? Maybe pets in need of no kill shelters? Other famous and/or rich people jetset with no news coverage. Must be a slow news day.
Met her at Emerald Con. She was the nicest person.
Electric vehicles require about 10x the water to fight a fire versus ICE.
Average ICE car uses around 500gallons of water to extinguish. Average electric car fire uses around 25,000gallons of water to extinguish with possible reflash. How much water does an electric bus require for a fire? The batteries must be massive. Would be interesting to hear the electric bus manufacturer…
I did mention drip irrigation when appropriate. Local politicians and local farmers should come to a mutual understanding of what should and should not be grown for their given climate and expected water availability. Pools must use water. Las Vegas just implemented new sizing rules to combat water usage for…
Ban lawn watering, residential car washing. Make drip irrigation farming required where possible. Require heat pump water heaters. Ban all residential pools. Phase out inefficient hvac systems. No one thing will solve water and energy problems. Study slowing or stopping building permits when the water and energy…
Eliminate all residential pools. No more new construction residential pools. Sunset all existing residential pools. Allow public community center pools. Also eliminate all home car washes. Eliminate any type of lawn watering. Allow drip style irrigation for home farming.
Ban all lawn watering and at home car washing. Commercial car wash businesses capture and resuse most of the water they need.
LeBron James is a great example. He’s for whatever is trending in the US. Refuses to discuss Uyghurs in China and other China Human Rights violations. Hollywood is upset with Georgia. At the same time trying to get past Government sensors to debut new material in the Chinese market.
1st Gear - Incentives should be income and cost limited. Most of the expired rebates went to people that didn’t need it. Should also have a sunset on any new extensions. Ford has a 100k wait list on the new Lightning. Not sure why they need incentives on a backlog. The MachE is selling at $10k above Msrp in my area.…
Make a charitable donation to a few charities and publish it for PR. Spending big during a company transition during a recession makes no sense.
That will be debated until no one cares.
3% of the 8% inflation rate is a big deal.
