Two Things That Used to be Simple and Cheap

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2025/02/02

To get a handle on just how difficult it has become to perform even minor repairs on many new cars (and trucks) it’s worth a stroll down memory lane to recall how easy it used to be to do those same repairs. Replacing a fuel pump is a good place to start. For the most […] The post Two Things That Used to be Simple and Cheap appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

Socialists (and Democrats) are Cowardly Communists

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2025/02/01

What is the difference between a socialist and a communist? The socialist likes to pretend he isn’t a communist. More finely, he wants to pretend he’s a nice guy. That he just wants a more “equitable” society. That he’s civilized, in other words. The communist does not care about such delusional niceties. He is more […] The post Socialists (and Democrats) are Cowardly Communists appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

Neighbor Lady Gets Hut! Hut! Hutted!

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2025/02/01

A nice old widow lives down the road for me. She has never in her 78 years been arrested – much less handcuffed – for anything. Until just the other day – when three vehicles from the County Sheriff’s Office arrived at her home at 9 p.m. to arrest and handcuff her because she didn’t […] The post Neighbor Lady Gets Hut! Hut!

The Market vs. CAFE

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2025/01/31

You have probably heard about CAFE – Corporate Average Fuel Economy – which is the argot for the federal government’s mandatory miles-per-gallon decrees. Every vehicle manufacturer is forced to comply with these decrees – and we’re all forced to pay for them. CAFE is based on a bizarre premise. It is that were it not […] The post The Market vs. CAFE appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

VW Cancels a Device

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2025/01/31

More good news from the front lines – in the war against the pushing of devices. VW has just announced it won’t be bringing one of its newest devices – the ID 7 sedan – to the United States. On account of “changing market conditions,” by which is meant there’s not much of a market […] The post VW Cancels a Device appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

The Mafia Wins

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2025/01/30

Like pretty much everyone – I think it is probably literally everyone who is forced to buy car insurance – the cost of what I’m forced to buy just went up 20 percent, for no reason having to do with anything I did to justify it. It went up by 20 percent because I’m forced […] The post The Mafia Wins appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

The Last Thing Anyone Who Rides Needs

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2025/01/29

Would you believe – say it like Don Adams from Get Smart – that they are beginning to make hybrid motorcycles? Kawasaki, specifically. It is called the Ninja 7 Hybrid and it only costs more than twice as much ($12,499) as the Ninja 500 ($5,299) it’s based on. But – look! – it can be […] The post The Last Thing Anyone Who Rides Needs appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

It is Done

2025/01/25

I just finished the last part of the heater core replacement job I began a few weeks back and only just now found time to finish. The good news is it didn’t take much time because all I had left to do was to reinstall the plastic box that holds the AC evaporator and also […]The post It is Done appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

The Case For Statutory Law

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2025/01/25

Statutory law – the law as written – arguably ought to be the only law. Because it’s arguably the only legitimate law, in the sense that it was at least actually voted on/ratified by some of the people, at some point in time. (That whole business is a question for another time.) Who ratified or […] The post The Case For Statutory Law appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

The Binary Man

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2025/01/24

Is the Orange Man good – or bad? One way to tell is by what he does – and so far, so good. He has corrected the injustices done to people who were imprisoned for years for what amounted to trespassing and disorderly conduct and also (just now) the complete injustice that was done to […] The post The Binary Man appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

The Mafia Strikes Again

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2025/01/24

I just got a Sicilian Message in the mail – from the insurance mafia – in the form of what’s styled a “renewal offer.” One I can’t refuse, of course – because the mafia can (and will) sic the government on me if I fail to hand over the money. Which is why, of course, […] The post The Mafia Strikes Again appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

Another Retreat in The EV Wars

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2025/01/23

Stellantis – parent company of Ram trucks as well as the Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep brands – has just sounded the retreat. Again. A leaked internal memo orders a hard-stop on further spending on the “electrified” device that looks like a Ram 1500 pickup. The device – styled the Ram 1500 REV (an odd acronym […] The post Another Retreat in The EV Wars appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

Our CARB Overlords

2025/01/22

People rightly complain about the federal government regulating – which is to say, controlling – practically everything. Well, how about California – as regards the cars you’re allowed to buy? There is this thing called the California Air Resources Board (CARB) which operates as a de facto Congress – for the entire country – as […] The post Our CARB Overlords appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

It’s a Good Start

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2025/01/21

President Trump did a few things yesterday – his first day as president – as opposed to just taking about doing them. He actually pardoned most of the political prisoners incarcerated since the “insurrection” of four years ago, which was actually just a protest about the extremely suspicious circumstances of the 2020 election, which supposedly […] The post It’s a Good Start appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

The $33,000 Chevette

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2025/01/21

Would you pay $33,000 for a 1987 Chevy Chevette? Apparently, someone just did. It’s got low miles – just 47 – so it’s basically a brand-new 1987 Chevette. But nonetheless, a 1987 Chevette. It weighed about 2,000 lbs. because it came with not much more than a very basic 1.6 liter four cylinder engine with a […] The post The $33,000 Chevette appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

Heat, at Last!

2025/01/19

I just finished the struggle session with my old truck, which for awhile was a very cold truck to drive on account of the failure of its heater core after 23 years of service. I mention this fact because it’s important. It took that long for a problem to develop with my ’02 Nissan Frontier’s […]The post Heat, at Last! appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.
