Shades of Gray

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2024/08/09

Two weeks ago, the partisans of Hombre Naranja were prematurely celebrating what seemed at that point in time to be the foreordained victory of the Hombre Naranja in the (s)election that’s still more than three months away. Now the partisans of Hombre Naranja are gloomy, because they made the mistake of joining the chorus of […] The post Shades of Gray appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

“Charger Hogs”

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2024/08/09

Now EV drivers are blaming other device drivers for all the waiting that comes along for the ride when you drive a battery powered device. “Sometimes, technology doesn’t fulfill its promise. But, other times, it isn’t the tech that lets you down, it’s the people using it,” complains a device driver in an article published […] The post “Charger Hogs” appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

A Tale of Two Rallies

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2024/08/08

Hombre Naranja likes to talk about how many Americans attend his rallies. But lots of Americans are also showing up for his opponent’s rallies. That’s because there are two Americas – and it’s time to understand this and deal with it, before the two Americas turn on each other. Of course, they already have. Just […] The post A Tale of Two Rallies appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

The Mirage Has Become One

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2024/08/08

The Mitsubishi Mirage was the most affordable car you were still allowed to buy in the United States. Italics to emphasize the past tense – as Mitsubishi has just announced it will stop selling the Mirage after the end of this year. And to emphasize that part about what we’re allowed to buy in this […] The post The Mirage Has Become One appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

Lack of Engagement

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2024/08/07

I recently test-drove the 2024 VW Golf GTI – which will soon join the Automatic-Only club, which welcomes new members each week, it seems. There are almost no economy cars still available that are available with manual transmissions, which is weird all by itself in that a manual transmission – which used to be referred […] The post Lack of Engagement appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

One Person’s Neighborliness

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2024/08/06

It appears the undemocratically selected replacement for the Senile Man as head of the Leftist (to all them “democrats” is like calling feces fudge) presidential ticket will be Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who says “one person’s neighborliness is another person’s socialism.” Making it clear that Leftists have not the slightest comprehension of neighborliness. Or – […] The post One Person’s Neighborliness appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian

Toyota Troubles . . . Again

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2024/08/06

Something big is wrong when brand-new Toyotas are developing big problems all-of-a-sudden. In italics to emphasize the all-of-a-sudden. And Toyota. Times twice now, it looks like. The first problem cropped up shortly after the redesigned Tundra pick-up came out in 2022. More finely, after the V8 engine that had previously been standard in the Tundra […] The post Toyota Troubles . . . Again appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

Going Lobo

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2024/08/04

The Ford Lightning electric truck may not be goin’ any damn where – to paraphrase what the Toothless Man with the shotgun told Jon Voight in Deliverance – but the little Maverick pickup is going Lobo. Probably because the latter actually does go – while the former doesn’t go very far. Ford expected – Ford […]The post Going Lobo appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

Diaper Report 08/3/2024

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2024/08/03

Next time, I’m going to say something. More finely, I’m going to ask something. Why are you wearing that thing? I won’t dignify it by calling it a “mask.” I continue to see people wearing that thing. Not many, but always at least one – and sometimes two or even three – every time I […] The post Diaper Report 08/3/2024 appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

Smaller Until They’re Gone

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2024/08/03

Back in the ’80s, cars were downsized. The Chrysler K-Car became the archetype of the new, government-designed kind of car. Small cars became “full-size” and front-wheel-drive, with four cylinder engines. In order to comply with federal edicts laying down how much gas they could burn. Fast-forward 40 years. There are very few cars left, because […] The post Smaller Until They’re Gone appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

The Crucible That’s Coming

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2024/08/02

Some say elections don’t matter. Their cynicism – and frustration – is easy to understand and to empathize with. We all feel it. It’s easy to feel discouraged. Beaten, even. As if it no longer mattered. Except, of course, it does. It mattered in 2016. And it matters even more now. By no means is […] The post The Crucible That’s Coming appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

2024 Toyota Land Cruiser

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2024/08/02

For once, a new vehicle cost less than what it used to cost. In the case of the new Toyota Land Cruiser, tens of thousands less than it used to. Of course, there’s a price to be paid for that. But it might be one many don’t mind paying. What It Is The Land Cruiser is […] The post 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

Voting isn’t For Everyone

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2024/08/01

The title of this article isn’t exactly what this article is about. It is about what Robert Heinlein wrote about in his novel, Starship Troopers. It is a valuable philosophical/moral book – unlike the film adaptation, which is entertaining but cartoonish. The book’s theme is as serious as the war that forms the backdrop of […] The post Voting isn’t For Everyone appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

How They’ll Win

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2024/07/31

A week ago – it seems a year ago – Trump seemed inevitable. His margin of victory had increased such that, had he been able to maintain it, it would have been much harder to cheat around it. Then the Senile Man was pushed aside – and now it feels like Trump’s star is waning, […] The post How They’ll Win appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

The Anodyne Exotic

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2024/07/31

The most powerful – and boring – Corvette ever made is coming soon. It is an iteration of the current generic-exotic Corvette, with its engine turbocharged to make in excess of 1,000 horsepower to make up for the personality it lacks. This is true of all the current exotics – which are all more powerful […] The post The Anodyne Exotic appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

Isn’t Slavery Illegal?

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2024/07/27

Kids are taught in school that it is not legal to own other people; that Abe Lincoln “freed the slaves.” But when those kids turn 18, they are required to “do the right thing” and sign what amounts to an indenture contract to “serve” as an unwilling mercenary, where they will no longer have any […]The post Isn’t Slavery Illegal? appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.
