You gotta love the showmanship inherent in his obviously staged situation room photo “during” the raid that killed Al-Baghdadi:

You guys are awesome. It is not hyperbole to say that this site often gets me through the day. Keep up the good work, and for the love of god do not stick to sports. Read more

For the life of me, I still don’t understand why lifted bro trucks are still street-legal. California is cracking down on all sorts of stuff (noise, emissions, a harmless check engine light, illegally imported small cars that bother absolutely no one, etc). Hell, even my E-85 converted Saab is technically illegal… Read more

I love to see people from out of state get all butthurt how in Oregon there’s no self serve gas. Read more

This is one of my many, many triggers that fall under the umbrella of selfish and or oblivious automotive behavior. The last time this happened to me (last weekend) I spazzed and called out some of the offenders. They moved. Read more

Wow, I thought this was absolutely socially verboten everywhere. Occasionally I’ll see a princess pull this crap, but most people either: Read more

Almost everything you wrote is wrong. Ethanol does not require more energy to produce than it releases when you burn it. Corn and starch based ethanol release about 3.5-5 times the production energy, depending on feedstock and the process used. Cellulosic ethanol has a 9-13 to 1 output to input ratio.

These are the people that fed on the bogus “HUMMER IS CLEANER THAN PRIUS” BS until surprisingly recently. These are the people that don’t believe humanity… Read more

The IFO study, bizarrely, seems to advocate for natural gas-powered vehicles as a “transitioning” technology on the way to cars powered by hydrogen, which, sure, I guess, and “‘green’ methane,” a product which does not exist. Read more

Sure, it’s cute and funny, but afterwards I’m sure everyone got tired of the driver saying ‘I think Isetta record or something!’ Read more

Learned to drive on 1978 Suzuki Fronte. 660 cc three cylinder, two stroke rear engine and 4speed manual. You had to plan to your moves in advance.

Shanghai has a new trolleybus system that’s a great combination of bus and tram/streetcar. Needs overhead power cables to run, but that’s a far simpler and cheaper proposition than installing rails in the street. Read more

A mischaracterization of the conspiracy. The conspiracy theory was that GM killed street cars (by replacing with buses), not that GM killed public transit. Read more
