Who Owns Your Car?

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2025/02/14

You may have heard about what are styled right to repair laws. The term is a measure of just how owned we’ve become. You buy a car, but the data stream you have to have in order to be able to diagnose what’s wrong with it – in order to be able to repair it […] The post Who Owns Your Car? appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

Trump 2028 . . .

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2025/02/13

It’s a little early yet – but if the changes that appear to be on deck as regards the regulations pertaining to “emissions” of the dread gas CO2 (and also how many miles-per-gallon all new vehicles must deliver) that have all-but-destroyed the car industry are to stick, Trump has got to stick around for longer […] The post Trump 2028 . . . appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

It Snowed! Shut Down the World!

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2025/02/12

If you’re Gen X or older, you can probably remember being a kid and hoping they’d decide to call it a snow day – when it was actually snowing. Not because it might. There’d by several inches down already and it was still undecided whether you’d get to stay home. It took a lot of […] The post It Snowed!

2025 Nissan Rogue

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2025/02/11

The Nissan Rogue is an unassuming small crossover that is also Nissan’s best-selling model. More finely, Nissan sells so many of these unassuming small crossovers – around 270,000 per year – that it makes up for Nissan’s other models that aren’t selling well. So it’s really important – to Nissan – that lots of people […] The post 2025 Nissan Rogue appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

What Harrison Ford Says . . . and Doesn’t

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2025/02/11

You may have seen the Jeep ad starring Harrison Ford that played during the Super Bowl. In it, the actor who played Han Solo in the Star Wars movies explains that “freedom is yes – or no – or maybe.” And he’s right about that. Freedom is about the right to choose. More finely, it […] The post What Harrison Ford Says . . . and Doesn’t appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

Rules For Us – But Not For Them

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2025/02/10

You may have caught the news story about the Arizona politician who wants his “speeding” ticket thrown out because he’s a politician. In other words, because he’s not one of us. You know, a tax-cow like us. Livestock. To be herded and used and – most of all – to not complain about any of […] The post Rules For Us – But Not For Them appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

The Foundational Problem

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2025/02/09

It’s not that battery powered devices – or insuring vehicles – are bad things. There are people who are interested in and willing to buy such things. if there are enough people who are interested to make it worth offering those things, then it is worth offering such things – and there is absolutely nothing […]The post The Foundational Problem appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

A Summary Execution

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2025/02/08

It’s very difficult to kill a convicted criminal sentenced to death. It often takes decades – viz, Ted Bundy – and the convicted is typically given every last chance his victim(s) never had. But it’s pretty easy to just gun someone down in the street and walk away from it . . . if you’re […] The post A Summary Execution appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

Defining Some Terms

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2025/02/08

It’s weird the way a word that used to be understood to mean one thing gradually comes to mean something else. Often, something very different. “Gay” is a good example to make the point. It used to mean something entirely different than it means today. How about “SUV”? This is a word that has come […] The post Defining Some Terms appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

How Much More Can They be Made to Pay?

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2025/02/07

State Farm – one the several “families” of the insurance mafia – has reportedly asked the government that serves as the mafia’s enforcer to allow it to increase what people in the state of California are coerced into paying for home insurance by 20 percent. This is presented as necessary to “cover” the costs incurred […] The post How Much More Can They be Made to Pay? appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

Can Nissan Recover?

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2025/02/07

It appears that the Honda-Nissan merger is off. Apparently, because Honda wanted to turn Nissan into a subsidiary rather than a co-equal. Nissan said no to that – probably a good idea. Because it probably would have meant something like what happened to Chrysler after the 1998 “merger of equals” with Daimler, the German parent […] The post Can Nissan Recover? appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

Arrest Spammers

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2025/02/06

It’s odd we’re – speaking generally here – so willing to abide spam. Not the canned meat, which has some value if you’re hungry (and desperate) and besides, no one is forced to pay for that kind of spam. I mean the other kind of spam. The kind that “bots” post in the comments section […] The post Arrest Spammers appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

2025 Ram 1500 (Again)

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2025/02/06

When something is replaced by a new thing, it is assumed the new thing is an improved or otherwise better thing. A good way to find out is to compare the thing that was replaced with its replacement. The 2025 Ram 1500 pickup – which I wrote about last year – used to be available […] The post 2025 Ram 1500 (Again) appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

Another One We’re Not Allowed to Buy

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2025/02/05

How’d you like to be able to buy a brand-new five-door SUV – a real one, not a crossover – with 4WD (not AWD) and a manual transmission for about $17,000? Too bad – you can’t. Because the federal government won’t allow you or me or anyone else living in America in America to buy […] The post Another One We’re Not Allowed to Buy appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

Worth the Work

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2025/02/02

Saving money is how you have money to deal with the cost of being forced to pay out money – as to the insurance mafia and the ultimate mafia, the government. The latter just sent me a letter informing me that what is styled the “assessment” of the value of what isn’t my house (for […]The post Worth the Work appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.
