Yes you are right on all counts. Some of my view is definitely based on frustrations I see from within the industry and I get it that there are actual legitimate environmental concerns that NEED to be addressed. I see those too from within the industry. I will make a point to look for real in depth reporting on which…

This is where we have a fundamental disagreement I think: the EPA has mostly come up with regulations based on real world issues but they are not even-handed penalties. And some of those regulations are based 100% on petitions and not actual environmental research. They penalize the companies that do the right thing…
I agree that the paperwork is a real friction on business, but it’s a real cost of doing business. If you want to work in a dangerously polluting industry, regulatory compliance is part of the game. There’s a benefit to having bigger companies involved, since they can afford to pay out when they damage things. If a…
You like column shift automatic transmissions and front wheel performance cars. Sad.
The what I’m talking about is the day-to-day form filing and permit applications. Not fines for pollution. At some point the small companies will not be able to pay these fees and keep operations profitable. Then all you’re left with are the big corporations that are actually the ones who keep doing the polluting. In…
I don’t think you understand how the EPA affects the little guy. You know, the small companies that do right by the environment and the community they’re in. I’m not talking about the big ass corporations. I’m talking about the small businesses that make up close to 50% of the nonfarm GDP in this country. The EPA has…
Dont forget, A budget of over 8 billion dollars.
I’ve seen this kind of crap everytime there’s a republican president, they use “increasing efficiency” as doublespeak for “eliminating usefull services for the general public so the rich can keep more profit.”.. if only they walked the walk they talk, I’d be all for it.
When Faraday Future showed off their FF 91 at CES earlier this year, there was really only one number they cared…
Porsche 911 specialist Willi Thom is one of the most elusive men in the world. It took the car-crazed filmmakers of…
It’s no secret that Cadillac has wanted to step away from the old-person car reputation that had built up over…
I think everyone should own a Mini once.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to the Jalopnik Staff and to all of my fellow Jalops! I hope you all get some cool car stuff this weekend!
$25,000?!?! I’m an Uber driver in the market for a newer car (or at least one with lower miles than my current car) and my limit is $10,000. Although Uber’s standards are what are stated above, in my experience (I’ve been driving for Uber for a year and a half) I want a back seat that can seat adults comfortably, a…
2012 (or maybe later) Toyota Sienna. Great hauler, can pick up larger groups and make airport runs with ease, decent mileage and terrific reliability. Also, depending on the trim, pretty luxurious for the driver and passenger both. Does double duty as the family hauler or swagger wagon for the swinging single.
Dear Santa, I’ve been good this year. Except for that one thing, but we don’t need to talk about that—I did what I…
Bicycling in traffic I’ve had to knock on windows to get people’s attention before they killed me. Some people have gotten very angry over that.
Note, they are six to ten inches from me and I have no more space to give up when I do this. By law they shouldn’t be within three feet.
Can we file whatever is going on with his his hair to that as well?
File to: Bitch is crazy.
