Some car tech, like blind spot monitors and their associated rear-traffic alert, are awesome and work very well. I’d be happy to have them, because they’re not obtrusive and also aren’t a crutch, they’re an asset as much as seatbelts and airbags.

Neutral:

4th Gear: With rampant and unabated IP theft as a cornerstone of Chinese industry business plans, why on Earth would you share any future plans with offshore manufacturers? Especially plans you weren’t immediately prepared to execute yourself independently?

“Trump abandoning the TPP was one of the few good actions he’s taken.”

Reminds me of the old Lancer EVO adage “$40,000 drivetrain with a free car on top.”

Send Buzz out there

Then over time, WaWa stores began to push them out for some reason.

Nothing but math and a huge pair of balls

And on only a vaguely related front, I am still amazed that the Apollo 13 command module, just like what was shown in the movie, even after the complete hell to make it back to Earth, splashed down within sight of the carrier.

Extremely aggressive for a sloth: Two gentle swipes and an angry nose thrust into the tarp.

Maybe the problem with younger people and electric cars is they have no place to charge them.  Apartment complexes, condos and university parking lots aren’t chock full of chargers.

5th Gear: The poor are hit hardest by *everything*. Using that as an excuse to not do something that’s a net positive is stupid.

If there’s a nation that can swing only having electric vehicles, then it’s a tiny island nation, most of which has been exploited and ‘improved’ over the thousands of years of occupancy. This is a country where people think going from Edinburgh to Glasgow (about an hour by train or a little less by car) is far enough…

If a little “curb contact” busts a ball joint or breaks a control arm, your car is a piece of shit. Go walk down your street and you’ll probably find curb rash on 9 out of 10 sets of wheels. Then note how many of them also have busted ball joints.

5th Gear: As this one hits close to home for me (no, I do not currently work at, nor represent, Morgan Stanley), I will be as diplomatic as possible. Adam Jonas is a brilliant man, and very good (but not the best) at what he does.
