LOL, the idea that anything useful came from sub Saharan Africa is comical.

They never seem to talk about North Africans(non Negro) using them as slaves.

As if Cleopatra was some black chick…

A relative of mine was driving a S class when they got hit head on by a person suffering a medical emergency some years ago. The cop at the scene told the relative they likely would have died in a less fortified car. Fortunately for the relative, they walked with some bumps and bruises after a brief visit to the ER.

I learned that in 1985 when my 1970 Coupe DeVille given to a teenage nephew was in a head on highway speed crash with a drunk driven Chevy Monza. Both the drunk driver car occupants died at the scene and my nephew had a seat belt bruise on his collarbone.

EV Hummer, still a Hummer. Ridiculous vehicles for people with more money than sense for 30 proud years.

As a Yute, we used to be able to fill up a car of teenagers using collected pocket change.

$5 face value of silver quarters is worth well over $100. Still a tank of gas for most vehicles.

True, But;

We never got to $5 [close but no cigar] and I just checked my pocket change and found but little Silver.

Times have certainly changed.

The auto industry seems to have conflicting regulatory actions aimed in their direction. One one hand, they have to comply with CAFE standards and on the hand have to comply with NTSB crash standards.

I think that number comes from a Hummer EV tail light.

costing $96.89 before taxes and fees.


And what would be the gas bill without those?

Hey, but he saved $60 on gas this week and he feels good about that.
Bulb was over 1k and they wouldn’t sell it to him, had to go to the dealer, and they had to install it, total $4160.
Must be made out on dylithium crystals from the USS Enterprise

“Typical EV drivers charge their vehicles only until 80% or so, which makes sessions much shorter and more affordable.”

And much more frequent.

Right. Eventually they’ll spend just as much too. So no savings there.

They have the crash standards rigged. They run cars into a stationary object which presents only the force generated by the kinetic energy of the crash vehicle. The rigging is exaggerated because the kinetic energy of a weight in motion is an exponential factor. So it is much harder for a heavy vehicle to comply against a stationary object. If they ran a Chevy Suburban into a Prius head on, the Prius would be toast.

It all a trick to trap consumers into buying little cars and let them die in them.
