The other part of this that people like to conveniently forget is that we’ve been in the country’s longest sustained economic growth in its entire history. Economies don’t grow forever despite everyone’s desperate wishes. A recession was unavoidable BEFORE the pandemic.  The only question on the table was weather or…

It’s not the fall that hurts, it’s hitting the ground.

That part of the dealer experience isn’t bad. The bad part is when you go to the stupid little glass office and watch numbers dance on paper and know they are trying to rip you off.
Then you go to a deeper office and the pages upon pages of legalese designed to deceive is shoveled in front of you.  And for some reason…

Really you need a showroom, not a dealership.  Sales can still be done online in conjunction with showrooms and/or dealerships.  Some people like to find the exact one and buy in person, other people want a basic idea then order their specific one online.  There is room for both

At some point I wanted to hear this story from Al’s perspective sung to the melody of Paul Simon’s Call Me Al. Kinda fitting as it was popular song at that time.

There are so many destinations within 250 miles of a port that it really doesn’t matter if we’ll never have cross country BEV shipping. The ports of LA and Seattle could have all local distribution be BEV, and that would be stupendous. Not to mention the fact that you’re seeing through a tunnel. The crap we have today…

Not making 4rd gear about Ford is a huge missed opportunity.

When you’ve lived under a decades long aura of impunity, why change now?

Wonder what the penalty would be for slashing police tires, as they are a danger to citizens.

The police are looking for ways to retaliate, and being petty and spiteful is part of that playbook. Since 9/11, police (and their budgets) have been beyond reproach, but I think the lived experience and secondhand video of police “tactics” is making people second guess why these people are getting so much of our…

There is no replacement for displacement offsite tape.

Name (disturbingly) checks out. 

Feed Godzilla all the beans to kill Mothra with a giant fartmonica.

Wow that was SO MUCH WORSE than I thought it was going to be. :(

Still better than Imagine Dragons. 

If Hollywood has taught me anything, the next action movie will feature a monster/alien/meteor/tornado/huge mechanical robot that specifically targets the bridge because of the noise.

Could be worse:
