Correct. It’s no longer the honor system when telling them how many miles you drive. You tell them what what you expect to use. If it’s way out of line, they can ask you to send in odometer readings. They can also just periodically ask for your odometer reading.  Both of those have happened to me. …

This is insurance company bullshit. I’m in CA. My rates have probably gone up by 2-3x what they were before COVID. The insurance companies blame inflation (your first clue about the scam), yet they leave out that so many people work from home, nowadays. I went from 40 miles of daily commute to ZERO miles of daily…

^^^This guy gets it. He only left out insurance costs for EVs. Manufacturers kill off cheap cars, only ship EVs with 100s of miles of range, high base prices and bonkers horsepower and dealers are allowed to add their own arbitrary markups without any guardrails whatsoever. Now that we’ve reached the bullshit…

What makes you think Texas cares about literally anything outlined in the report? Seriously....they are lining their rivers with razor wire and drowning people with nets and we’re talking about QUAIL EGGS? Who TF are we trying to kid here?

This is artificial, blatant market manipulation. The insurance industry has seen how businesses have been successful in increasing their profits by reducing the supply of goods or necessary services, thus driving prices up. It’s silly to think that industries have to fit the legal definition of collusion to actually…

I’m confused by the hate being dished out here. Love for shitcan beater wagons and Lemons stuff, hate for decently-executed vehicles. Bro, you are no Fancy Kristen, and not every restomod needs to be a Singer clone.

Fox’s fear machine is real, so you’re not wrong in general. But this instance can probably be laid at the feet of media on the whole. You have a black lady near a border being driven by a Hispanic man. Then place that in the context of the kidnappings that happened recently: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/gulf-c…

Why is this literally everywhere, at all times, in the news? This is up there with news about influencers, but SO much worse.

There’s no good reason this story should have reached the heights it did.

Easy - we don’t want to kill bicyclists. The overwhelming majority of people would rather see bicyclists off the road. You’re an angry bunch of fanatics with an outsized voice who are foolish for wanting to share space with today’s no-skill drivers.  Don’t go away angry, just go away.

This is your brain on Fox/Republican. Fear everything! Everything and everyone is out to get you, your children and your property! The solution to your fear is always....one or more weapons.  JFC, get control of yourselves.

Writer on a car culture site shits on a car culture kind of car. It’s not that bad.  And who cares what’s “at it’s core”.  Stick to.....Accords and Camrys?

This is a national media distribution site.  There’s no reason this garbage belongs outside a local newspaper.

The dumbest thing about this is that this “media outlet”, like many others, is spreading this toxic idiocy like a cancer. The idiot isn’t the problem, the media who puts him on the microphone is.  The click economy is going to kill us all.

I guess the writer triggered the Wokestapo. Better show him your papers, leftist snowflake.

Carmakers: “Batteries are too expensive. We can’t do this!” Also Carmakers, “Check out the size of the battery in our Dodgforeverolet Behemoth, bro! Own the libs! Roll coal EV-sTyLe!!!!11!!1!!”

This is why the EV incentives are powerful. A couple small tweaks to the qualifications aimed at vehicle weight class, or…

Miata owner here. We just got a loaded Atlas Cross Sport V6 SEL 4Motion. It’s huge on the inside, super quiet and it’s got a nice cushy mushy ride - the perfect contrast to my Miata and my wife’s Fiesta ST.  VW's reliability is a question mark, but we have a warranty and crossed fingers.

I simultaneously look forward to both right-leaning bootlicking commenters chiming in to support corporate extreme greed as the natural state of the world AND nothing being accomplished on the topic.  Wake me when something changes.

Geez. I’m pretty sure I’d have to have one hand on the button and one hand ready to protect my junk from the Nutzwagen (tm) hitch.

The coupe. Manufacturers keep shrinking the size of door openings such that in anything but the largest cars you sit directly adjacent to the b-pillar and can’t see out to your left.  It’s no wonder accident rates keep going up.  A coupe gives you long enough doors and big enough windows to eliminate this effect.
