Its not about size, its about weight. Just because its not a micro car doesn’t mean it needs to weigh 5000 lbs.

The technology that makes them safer does not make them appreciably heavier. Its that “comfortable” bit with all the extra electronics and crap that makes them heavy. The body cages are actually lighter and better engineered than they were 20 years ago.
You think I’m talking about trucks, but I’m talking about all cars. You can have a big truck with big payload and all that jazz and it doesn’t have to weigh 6000+ lbs. This is not a size thing, its a weight thing. If we reduced the mass of vehicles running around every day on our streets, everyone would benefit, even…
This is an easy fix, just add an annual tax on any vehicle purchased after January 2020 that weighs in excess of 4000 lbs (TWO TONS). Tax them by the pound, and make the tax progressive so that every 500 lbs the tax per pound increases.
I have no idea what we get from Thailand, but that’s what Wikipedia says.
Mexican and Canadian built US trucks are specifically exempted in NAFTA. If you order a G-Wagon with no rear seats, you will pay the 25% tariff. There is no way around it. Ford imports the Turkish manufactured Transit connect with rear windows, rear seats, and seat belts, then shreds the seats and sends them to a…
What? Of course its subject to the chicken tax.
None. No one buys our trucks, they buy toyota hilux or the nissan navaras. No one buys american trucks, and you can’t import a foreign manufactured truck without a 25% tarriff thanks to the chicken tax. That’s why the G-wagon costs so much, but idiots still buy them.
I don’t get why anyone would care. Looks like they let the Hulk loose with an ugly stick on a Miata and this is what you got. They didn’t even do something about the ugly screen in the middle of the dash that is the only flaw in the current Miata’s styling.
How is this better than a $25 amazon fire stick with voice control and a $25 amazon dot?

Anyone who pays a million plus for one of these cars is a complete moron who is wasting all the money that daddy left them.
If you want to argue that Electric cars are actually worse for the environment because of strip mining the metals in poor countries or the coal power plants making the electricity, then fine.
You can hate on Tesla all you want, but he is making electric cars are desirable reality. Screw all the green-communists who want it to be about sustainability and other nonsense. If you want actual electric cars with zero emissions, this is how you’re going to get it with a pioneer who says screw the world I’m going…
You probably live in a very dense area. It probably costs a lot to live close to a subway station. Good for you that your government is subsidizing your choice to live in a very expensive place. Subways and trains lose money on every rider and every ride in every example on Earth except for two train lines in Northern…
65 degrees? Are you out of your mind? You shouldn’t need a down comforter and a couple blankets to sleep in the summer.
Because Porsche engines are way too over-complicated and a headache. You can get a kit to put a SBC in just about any Porsche. To change the spark plugs on my friends 997 we had to remove the rear bumper. This was standard procedure.
Who wants to bet that civil war would be put down in about 10 seconds? No one in commiefornia even has a gun.
I never make it home with the fries. They get eaten in the car or I just don’t order them. Its pretty solid all around, except for the coffee. Never have I had worse coffee than Chick-fil-A Coffee. They must put all the bad karma into the coffee because everything else is excellent.
I haven’t posted anything on FB in as long as I can remember. I have friends deleting their accounts completely. I only use it to keep up with the events friends have planned. When we get a better event planning app, I will be able to remove FB completely from my life.
Why are they so lazy at morning joe that they just repeat the first hour of the show again at 8? Why even bother? The nonsense drivel coming out of these talking heads could at least be original. Instead we get an instant re-run.
