The End for Dodge?

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2024/07/27

Dodge is looking a little green around the gills all-of-a-sudden. Not just Dodge, either. Parent company Stellantis just posted “worse-than-expected” stats for the first half of this year. “The company’s performance in the first half of 2024 fell short of our expectations,” CEO Carlos Tavares said in a statement that doesn’t quite convey the extent […] The post The End for Dodge? appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

Don’t Misunderestimate Her

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2024/07/26

Those who are looking forward to a Trump victory in the coming (s)election might not want to get too cocky just yet. The sudden departure under-duress of obviously declining Joe Biden does not make it more likely that Trump will win. Arguably, it makes it less likely. People who aren’t Leftists have a weakness. It […] The post Don’t Misunderestimate Her appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

2024 Mini Clubman

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2024/07/26

There will soon be one less Mini – and it’s the one that’s not as “mini” as the ones that will remain. It’s the Clubman version of the Mini Cooper – which will be retired after the end of this model year. But why is it being retired? And is it worth considering one before […] The post 2024 Mini Clubman appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

How Long Before They Charge Extra For Tires?

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2024/07/25

Henry Ford supposedly said a buyer could have his Model T painted any color he liked – so long as it was black. At least he didn’t charge extra. Today, you can get your vehicle painted just about any color you like. But you’ll probably have to pay extra for it. For example, the 2024 […] The post How Long Before They Charge Extra For Tires? appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

2024/07/24

Tonight – supposedly – the man who supposedly (and suddenly) decided he was not up to the rigors of campaigning for president will appear on TeeeeVeee to explain what was supposedly his decision, even though it clearly wasn’t. For weeks prior to last weekend, the man insisted he was the nominee and would remain so. […] The post John Gill Returns appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

The Mustang GT Tax

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2024/07/24

The government just made the Ford Mustang more expensive – by eliminating (via its regulations) its competitors, the Chevy Camaro and the Dodge Challenger. This leaves the Mustang as the only car of its type still on the market and – naturally – Ford is going to charge buyers more for it. Because where else […] The post The Mustang GT Tax appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

Why no Charger?

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2024/07/23

It was supposed to be on sale by now. The Charger that needs to be charged. The device that is supposed to replace the Charger that didn’t need a charge, because it had an engine to keep it going. Dodge stopped selling the latter at the end of last year – which is now almost […] The post Why no Charger? appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

Size isn’t the Problem

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2024/07/20

Ford’s CEO Jim Farley said something interesting the other day about how Americans should “start to get back in love with smaller vehicles.” The interesting thing about that is they already have. Ford can’t keep up with demand for its Maverick pick-up, which is the second-smallest four-door vehicle Ford makes. It has been a huge […]The post Size isn’t the Problem appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

Big Mike is Coming

2024/07/19

A certain someone once said: In England they’re filled with curiosity . . . why doesn’t he come? Be calm! He’s coming! And so she is, it looks like. Events are happening so quickly it’s become hard to keep on top of them, let alone predict them.

2024 Chevy Camaro

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2024/07/19

It’s a strange and sad thing when one of the most popular, best-known cars ever made is about to fade away. Not because of anything it did, either. That car – in this case – is the Chevy Camaro, which was one of the best-selling vehicles on the market back in the mid-late 1970s and […] The post 2024 Chevy Camaro appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

The Circa 1995-2010 Catch 22

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2024/07/18

There’s an interesting irony about the state of the car industry that’s also a pickle of its own creation. Or – more finely – a pickle that’s the unintended result of the compliance complicity of the auto industry. It went went along with the federal regulatory apparat’s regime of regulations pertaining to exhaust emissions that […] The post The Circa 1995-2010 Catch 22 appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

How many devices has GM emitted so far? 75,386 during all of last year. Only about 925,000 devices to go!

The Paradox of Government

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2024/07/16

There is one bottom-line truth about government that is impossible to deny. It is that good people don’t need government. More finely, they do not need to be governed to be good. They are good because they choose to be, freely. Not because they dread being caught and punished were they to do something bad.

Why Helmet Laws are Silly and Tyrannical

I wanted to remember what it was like to live in a free country – remember when people used to say that? – so I went out for a ride on my motorcycle yesterday without wearing the helmet the government says I must wear whenever I ride my motorcycle on its roads.

Will the attempted murder of Donald Trump in Pennsylvania the other day be framed as a “threat to our democracy” by the people who so regard not just Trump but also anyone who supports Trump? And will Trump support “reasonable” restrictions on gun owners – that is to say, criminalization of gun ownership by people […]The post Orange Man Down appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.
