I love the Evora - it’s the contrarian answer to the “every guy” Cayman. Having driven the 400, which is significantly more potent than the version here, I can vouch for its on road prowess and world class driving dynamics. It’s just such an engaging car that I think will be hard to fall out of love with once the…

I cannot believe all these people who whine about “losing” an hour’s sleep. Hell, every night of my life I wonder if I’m I’m going to sleep one to four hours less than I did the previous night. Grow up people. DST at least allows you to have a little light in the evening after work. To people who don’t do anything…

Here come all the “...just more to break” “...gonna total it from hitting a fly” comments. Grandpa, is that you back from the dead?? People, if you don’t want to buy an expensive car with features, don’t fucking buy it and keep your 2004 Camry. It’s that simple. 

A lot of work went into this piece, and a lot of passion. I applaud both the effort and the goal. I will also concede that there is a lot of great points in there.

I have two kids, two dogs and routinely need to tow 8,000lbs.  What else am I going to pick here?

It was still under the regular factory warranty. In total I think the car was in the shop 10 times in 14 months. Apparently the issue with the air suspension was moisture getting into the compressor, freezing and then causing the motor to short out. I think eventually a permanent fix was found in the form of a new…

For me it was “I know he calls himself Irish, but... Oooh!”

Once some one makes practical battery trucks sure. 

I was very confused as to when the Irish Republican Army became a green-tech investment firm...

The lack of infrastructure plus the effect of cold weather on EVs are major detractors. Motor Trend just posted something about their experiences which confirms a lot of what my friends with EV have said:

wish these qualified for the tax credit.. thx dems! (happy they have one at all but all BEV’s should be covered)

I am a State of NJ Employee who works in IT for the Attorney Generals office, for the past 19 years I have participated in the Snow Volunteer program with the NJDOT. It works like this. For each of those salt domes you see near the higways there’s about 10 trucks assigned to cover a specific area. For even seemingly…

Is there a reason why he’s not about another Volvo? An XC90 recharge sounds exactly what this fellow is looking for.

I don’t know the specifics of Milwaukee, but being familiar with Chicago, I don’t have reason to doubt what you say.

The ‘food deserts’ in Chicago are largely areas that have homicide rates on par with active civil war zones. When the West Garfield Park Aldi closed last year, activist journalist types bought in to the…

Unless there is an accident or a bad snow storm, there is no such thing as “huge traffic congestion” in Milwaukee. Traffic in Milwaukee means an additional 10-15 minutes in someone’s commute from the western suburbs.

First, you can’t make a food desert worse. It’s already at its lowest point, and that’s because it’s a crime-ridden part of town where no one wants to open a business. Even if it wasn’t, we don’t put a full grocery store in every neighborhood in the city. The people who live in $1M condos on the east side also can’t…

Highways don’t cause food deserts, poverty does. Retailers focus on areas and neighborhoods where they expect to be profitable, period.  IF there’s money to be made, another gas station, mini-mart, pawn shop, liquor store, payday loan place, brewpub, coffee shop, organic grocery, yoga studio, doggie daycare, or auto…

The area is a food desert and has been for some time. The problem is crime. Who would want to open a store in the area when they would be robbed blind. And there are little or no consequences for the criminals. This is happening in big cities all over America. Beware of what you wish for.

I live 1 county to the north of Milwaukee county. I’ve worked just south the area where this proposed freeway expansion is. I feel bad for the residents there, but they knew what they were buying into. There is a huge traffic congestion here every day if you catch it at the wrong time. Pretty much everyone in this stat…
