Today’s Clover: 06/28/2025

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2025/06/28

Unfortunately, I was not able to video the Clover I encountered today – because I forgot to bring my video recorder with me. My bad, because this encounter was among the worst of the year so far. I was coming up Bent Mountain – US. 221 in Virginia. It is about two miles or so […]The post Today’s Clover: 06/28/2025 appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

“Doesn’t Resonate”

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2025/06/28

It appears that horsepower – and performance – are not everything, even to people who crave both. There are other, intangible, things that matter at least as much. Such as the sound made by a six or an eight rather than a four – and never mind the absence of any sound worth listening to […] The post “Doesn’t Resonate” appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

What’s Next for X

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2025/06/27

That people – some people – expected Elon Musk to allow free speech on X is as remarkable as the fact that some people expected less government (and less war) from Trump. Musk is a player – and he plays people for fools. He tells them they’ll get free speech – provided they pay for […] The post What’s Next for X appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

Today’s Clover: 06/27/2025

2025/06/27

Here’s today’s Clover – another Truck Bro Clover! Another truck squatting in the left (passing) lane, with the right lane completely open. I passed the Clover on the right and watched in my rearview to see whether the Truck Bro would take the hint. He didn’t. I watched as traffic backed-up behind him and wondered […] The post Today’s Clover: 06/27/2025 appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

Environmental Performance

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2025/06/27

One of the useful things about being able to get my hands on new vehicles is to convey to people what they may not know about them. Sometimes, I get to know about things, too. Here’s a case in point: Every new vehicle sent to me for test-driving and reviewing comes with what’s styled a […] The post Environmental Performance appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

The Negatives and RFK, Jr.

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2025/06/26

RFK, Jr. had a lot of resentment steam behind him – elevating him to high office in the federal health apparat. The apparat that has been undermining the health of Americans for decades via such things as the pushing of harmful drugs on them, beginning almost immediately after birth. RFK, Jr. appeared to be at […] The post The Negatives and RFK, Jr. appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

If You’re Considering a Way to Avoid New Cars

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2025/06/26

Old cars used to be owned chiefly by people who liked them – and by people who could not afford to buy a new car. That’s changing – because many people do not like new cars. More finely, they do not like that they cannot buy a new car without “technology” they do not want […] The post If You’re Considering a Way to Avoid New Cars appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

The Medical Marijuana Grift

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2025/06/25

Do you live in a state where the state has deigned to allow the adults it parents to purchase marijuana if they “qualify” for “medical reasons”? My state – Virginia – is such a state and I’d like to describe the grift. It begins – if you want to be allowed to buy marijuana legally […] The post The Medical Marijuana Grift appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

The Spray Tanned Chimp

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2025/06/22

What many of us worried would happen and foolishly hoped would not happen, has. Last night, the man who was re-elected in part by people who voted for him because they were tired of this country being dragged into wars that have nothing to do with making America great again launched what might end up […]The post The Spray Tanned Chimp appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

A Clover Confrontation

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2025/06/22

I am not a confrontational guy by nature – because I’m a guy who much prefers to live and let live. But there are people who aren’t – and I find that many of them are aggressive cowards. I encountered one such the other day. I was driving the ’25 Ram 2500 that is the […] The post A Clover Confrontation appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

Here’s the audio (and video!) of yesterday’s spot on the David Knight Show – which my friend Gard Goldsmith is hosting while David’s recovering from his recent illness.

Defeated by DEF

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2025/06/21

It used to be that you only had to hoof it down the road for gas – or diesel – if you forgot to fill the tank and ran out of gas (or diesel). Now you can have a full tank – of diesel – and still be hoofing it, if you forgot to top […] The post Defeated by DEF appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

Israel is not Our Ally . . . and Iran is not Our Enemy

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2025/06/20

John Adams may have been His Rotundity in the eyes of his critics. But he was no fool. He (unlike Jefferson, an admirable man in many respects but a fool in this respect) did not believe France was America’s ally. He understood that France had interests and that France’s interests temporarily jibed with those of […] The post Israel is not Our Ally . . . and Iran is not Our Enemy appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

2025/06/20

Here are today’s Clovers! The first is another Truck Bro Clover. Two of them, actually. One is slowing everyone down; the other is riding the slow Bro’s bumper. But he won’t pass the slow Bro (maybe because that would be illegal): The second Clover is the Original Gangster Prius Clover: . . .

Crash Expense Testing . . .

2025/06/20

You have heard about crash testing – and the “stars” awarded for how well (or not) a vehicle does when it is driven into a fixed object or struck from behind or from the side. The purpose of the star-rating system is to give buyers information relating to how well (or not) a given vehicle […] The post Crash Expense Testing . . . appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

Meet the Adaptive Safety Belt

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2025/06/19

Jut when you think it can’t possibly get any more ridiculous, it does. Volvo has come up with what it calls the “multi-adaptive safety belt.” Because apparently a simple seat belt isn’t safe enough. Speaking of that. Notice how seat belts became safety belts? It is hard to put a finger precisely on the moment […] The post Meet the Adaptive Safety Belt appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

Here are today’s Clovers! First, the Lexus Clover.Who can also be a BMW or Mercedes or Audi Clover. These are the drivers of “luxury sport” sedans who drive them as if they were driving a ’79 Caddy with whitewall tires and fake wire wheels; i.e, leisurely. And there’s nothing wrong with that, per se. What’s […] The post Today’s Clovers: 06/18/2025 appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.
