Hey @ILSecOfState, it’s time to crack down on the abuse of “In Transit” license plates that are meant for car transporters. I see people driving cars with these plates on a daily basis that are clearly being used for personal use.

@lacherbauer I’ll believe it when I see it.

Amazing

Indiana is imaging more transit expansion than Chicago. Most surprising news of this year so far

@Mountainma54205 Looks like it’s from a cartoon to me, the old LLV looks more like a 6 y.o. drew it.

@synblinkerfluid The new truck looks like a kindergartener drew a car from memory.

Fairly certain the postal employees felt the same from the transition from the Jeep DJ to the Grumman LLV.

I can’t believe I have to drive this thing around town soon. The new mail trucks are hideous. Looks like a platypus.

@lacherbauer @PaulSkallas I honestly can’t imagine Illinois without Chicago. I think a lot more things need happen before that should even be a concept. For one, Cook County needs to be re-annexed and made smaller. Its reach is too far and is a burden on a lot of the suburbs it consumes.

Alexander Lacherbauer@lacherbauer·1d

Chicago should be its own city-state separate from Illinois, like Berlin or Hamburg, or like Ile-de-France to capture all of Chicagoland. @PaulSkallas

Illinois, much like Italy and Syria, is really two countries in one state.

My ‘08 Duramax got me to 800k miles with only replacing 2 Transfer cases and factory Emissions equipment (Pre-DEF). I’d do it again.

Mileage impossible@Mileage_impo

What car would you trust to get you to 300,000 miles (482,803 km) ?

@SpeedSportLife I like it as long as this new design stays as the electric cars and not across the whole model line. This looks like a BMW, but it also makes you know it’s their electric offerings. The knockoff Tesla interior needs to go though.

Zerin Dube@SpeedSportLife·2d

I think this looks fantastic.

The heartbeat of a new era. The new BMW i3. #BMWi3 #BMW #BMWNewEra #NeueKlasse #BMWGroup The maximum range of the BMW i3 50 xDrive Limousine (2026) will be up to 900 kilometers (WLTP). Since no binding WLTP values are currently available, these are preliminary values. Furthermore, the real life values depend on various factors, e.g. cargo weight, driving style, route, weather conditions, auxiliary electrical consumption (including air conditioning), tires, battery state of health.

@PluginHyBrad That’s actually quite surprising. I don’t see why they couldn’t make both honestly instead of scrapping the whole thing.

I feel like I’m going insane. Electric makes THE MOST sense in a Rolls. They’ve worked for decades to make that V12 as smooth and quiet as possible, but electric is better in every metric. How the hell is ostentatious quiet luxury losing a fake culture war???

🚨NEW: Rolls-Royce has scrapped plans to go all-electric by 2030 as ‘drivers prefer V12 engines’

@MinisterofDOOM Subaru lost their uniqueness in design after 2008 and I will die on that hill.

English

MinisterofDOOM@MinisterofDOOM·1d

My favorite part is this is that it could easily be a 15 year old design and we'd never know, because Subaru styling hasn't evolved aside from gluing rubbermaid panels into shit.

Motor1@Motor1com

These patent images sure seem to show a new Subaru STI hatch. Filed March 10, they show a widebody hatchback with an aggressive bodykit and wing. It’s unclear whether they preview a production car or the Performance-B STI concept shown at October's Japan Mobility Show.

@WaynesWhirled It was a generalization. 😂

English

Whirled World@WaynesWhirled·1d

@synblinkerfluid I literally said I find it interesting you respond with "nobody cares" 🤣 Like I said kind of I find it fascinating why someone would leave an entire state.

English

SyntheticBlinkerFluid@synblinkerfluid·1d

People from Illinois that have to announce that they’re leaving the state because of whatever the reason, have reached the ranks of vegans, crossfitters and Tesla owners in obnoxiousness of making sure to let you know.

@WaynesWhirled Well people mostly are moving out of Illinois because of property taxes, however everyone doesn’t need to know about the details, just move, nobody cares.
