@Glowyhands1 @guttenbirder22 Bet that fella might be well served by an electric truck that he could charge at home. 🤔

@guttenbirder22 Bet that he sees the cost as time, not money. Inconvenience. Probably doesn’t *actually* care about the price of gas, as long as he doesn’t have to fill up any more frequently than you.

My coworker told me today that there is no difference between my 21mpg Tacoma and his 15mpg Tundra… … because my gas tank is smaller, so I have to go to the gas station the same amount as he does.

@MrDOThompson @dougs_cars It took me a second to remember the original version 😅

@dougs_cars Oh, damn, sorry, I'm singing the Ataris version in my head.

Don Henley approved.

@petrany So which other amazing Maseratis would raise sales over 8000?

@patricklinkous 1000+

Why, when the MC20 is amazing?

@ShalashaskaFL @idcboutusers0 @dexcooldrinker PowerStrokes and Duramax are V8s

@idcboutusers0 @dexcooldrinker You can’t roll coal in a V8.

car guys have absolutely no understanding of how the Actual car market works and its tiring

@skapegoat888 @nato_base Every time

@nato_base It’s so funny when you live in the bay and have to listen to people around the country Tell you how Sf sucks and how beautiful Austin or Nashville is…. lol

Imagine believing that your subdivision in rural Ohio was far better than the “California hellhole”. You then go to San Francisco for the Super Bowl and realize you’ve been lied to, and that you can move to heaven right now if you pay taxes and chill about LGBT issues.

@PluginHyBrad @Bringatrailer It's not the $200 in revenue on this car, it's all the revenue on BHPH-grade cars they've been selling the last few years that were worth losing credibility for. Clearly, they made their choice.

It's incredible that nobody on the @Bringatrailer team saw these horribly disfigured AI slop photos and raised even a single red flag. Was it really worth losing credibility over a no reserve listing that'll bring $200 in revenue to the company?

@Sumskillz @Motor1com Perhaps you could move closer to work.

@Motor1com Few thigs are worse than a manual in 2+ hours per day of stop and go traffic, during work commutes. Do all these car owners live in the countryside?

We asked every automaker how many customers went for manuals in 2025. Here's what we learned, a thread:

@PluginHyBrad My tips were great, so I definitely can't imagine doing it now.

@patricklinkous I delivered Chinese in college. I wasn’t tipped enough then, I can’t imagine doing it for slave wages.

I don’t ever buy from Amazon. I’ve never used AI for anything. I have never ordered my food delivered. I have never used a micro-loan. I do not wear fast fashion. Yes, I am better than you.

Perhaps I'm channelling my white trash ancestors, but I've started fantasizing about spending a cash settlement before I actually have it. What's the consensus on the GR Corolla and its 26.3 pounds of boost 3 years on?

I don't believe in anything...karma, luck, God...but I have chills. I took a picture of an Outlander Ralliart and then turned the corner, not 200 feet away was a Montero on Golden State plates.

@timsommers12 @it_unprofession A TV is a device

@patricklinkous @it_unprofession Of course You don't have to watch football but for some of us it's a thing we do every year. Because our team plays on thanksgiving. Point being it's not devices.

Last week I hosted family for Thanksgiving. My 12-year-old nephew asked for the WiFi password. He wanted to play Roblox on his iPad. I looked at the device. Unmanaged. No antivirus. No encryption. I’m an IT Professional. I don't run an open network. So I didn’t give him the password. Instead, I spent 45 minutes provisioning a Guest VLAN. I set up a captive portal. I throttled the bandwidth down to 56kbps. Then I blocked all traffic on ports 80 and 443. He came back crying. He said it wouldn't load. My sister screamed at me to "just let him play." I told her that Zero Trust architecture doesn't care about bloodlines. We didn't have a "fun" Thanksgiving. But we had a secure perimeter. You’re welcome for the compliance.

@timsommers12 @it_unprofession Why do you need to watch football? Isn't your family enough one day a year?

@it_unprofession How about we don't spend Thanksgiving on things that are not food family or football. Kids spend every waking hour on devices. They can take few hours off. I support this guy.

@pmtiegs Vietnamese avocado smoothies are delicious tho 😅

Ah yes, a natural progression

@smellyratgaming @jcorriv35 Is it casual now?

It this

So my daughter has been painting “rocket ships” lately…. 🙃

@PGattoCPA @SpeedSportLife @CarBusinessMan Outside of a race track and the VP in Paso Robles I don't think I've ever seen higher than 91 in California.

@SpeedSportLife @CarBusinessMan Come to California and just about all you’ll see is 91 max

@CarBusinessMan So you deleted your tweet but just in case, 91 is quite common in the US. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U…

@PluginHyBrad In the park I used to work at we had an electric Polaris UTV. Started every shift with 100% charge on 120v. For our day to day work, that little thing could do everything that the gas trucks could. Way more fun on the trails too!

Riding electric motorcycles has radicalized me against DC Fast charging. We are spending way too much on expensive road trip buildout when 99% of driving is in-town.

@PluginHyBrad Leaded only

Me when I… me when she… Her when… I can…
