On The Radar

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2025/05/18

That saying about everything looking like a nail to the guy who has a hammer came to mind the other day when I passed a local cop in my one-stoplight rural SW Virginia county sitting by the side of the road running a radar trap in his brand-new Ford Explorer – paid for in part […]The post On The Radar appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

2025 GMC Canyon

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2025/05/18

There are no small trucks anymore. They’ve all been replaced by “mid-size” trucks like the 2025 GMC Canyon and its competitors – which are longer and taller than the full-sized trucks of the early 2000s. And most of them come standard with shorter (five foot) beds than the compact-sized trucks that used to be available. […] The post 2025 GMC Canyon appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

What DOGE Didn’t Touch

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2025/05/17

The high was nice while it lasted. But False Hopium is an ephemeral drug. In the first few weeks, we were maddened – but also gladdened – by the disclosures regarding how our money (which is forcibly extracted from us) was “wasted” on various execrable things by USAID and the subsequent closing of USAID. How […] The post What DOGE Didn’t Touch appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

Subaru is Smart . . . Sort of

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2025/05/17

Subaru is “re-evaluating” its “overall direction toward electrified vehicles,” says CEO Atsushi Osaki. Probably on account of the direction other manufacturers – especially Ford, Dodge, Mercedes-Benz and VW – are headed in, on account of their imprudent “commitment” to battery powered devices. The latter term isn’t derisive, by the way. It is descriptive. In the […] The post Subaru is Smart . . . Sort of appeared first on EPautos -

What’s Wrong With HOV Lanes?

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2025/05/16

When the government got into the business of owning the roads – which it does, because it is the government that controls the roads – it got into the business of metering access to roads. As for example via what are styled in the typically clumsy argot of bureaucracy High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes. HOV […] The post What’s Wrong With HOV Lanes? appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

Subaru Walks Back its “Commitment” to Devices

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2025/05/15

Subaru has announced it is reconsidering its “commitment” to battery powered devices – i.e., EVs. I like to use battery powered devices because it honestly disparages the things. But that’s a subject for another rant. For now, I’d like to hone in on this “commitment” business… . . .

A Question for EV Buyers

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2025/05/15

Here’s a question for people considering the purchase of a battery-powered vehicle: Would you buy one if you had to pay full price for one? More finely, would you be willing to spend the $7,500 part of the price you currently don’t have to pay when you buy a battery powered vehicle because of the […] The post A Question for EV Buyers appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

Why the Tax on Property is the Worst Tax

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2025/05/14

Taxing income is morally despicable because it’s your money – and that means it does not belong to anyone else. That means if it is taken from you, you have been robbed. It does not change the fact to call this robbery “taxation.” Of course, that is why they call this robbery “taxation” – to […] The post Why the Tax on Property is the Worst Tax appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

The Not For People’s Car

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2025/05/12

Have you seen the new VW ID Buzz yet? It is a battery powered device made to resemble the old VW Microbus, which was based on Beetle underthings. Which is why the latter was inexpensive to buy and operate, as a Beetle was. The ID Buzz is the antithesis of that – and arguably an […]The post The Not For People’s Car appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

How They “Clunkered” Us

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2025/05/12

It’s important, as the saying goes, to remember the past – in order to understand the present. Why are cars – specifically, used cars – so expensive today? They weren’t once. In fact, there was once an abundance of used cars so cheap teenagers could commonly afford them. It was unusual, at one time, for […] The post How They “Clunkered” Us appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

Jew Baiting

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2025/05/11

It is not “anti-Semitic” to criticize the government of the state of Israel or the actions and statements made by people who happen to be Jewish. Just as it does not mean you “hate” people who are confused about which sex they are. You love truth, actually. The “anti-Semitism” catcall is used by people who […] The post Jew Baiting appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

“Modernizing” Social Security

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2025/05/11

Government is indeed becoming more efficient . . . as distinct from less oppressive (and expensive). We are supposed to be grateful that the government uses the money it forces us to hand over to it (much of it automatically “withheld” from your wages so you never even get to enjoy the pleasure of writing […] The post “Modernizing” Social Security appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

Diaper Report: 05/10/2025

2025/05/10

Have you heard about “COVID Syndrome”? It is the polite term for the pathological hypochondria instilled in people during the “pandemic” – air fingers quote marks to emphasize that it wasn’t one anymore than those drugs they pushed on people were “vaccines” since they did not prevent anyone from getting or spreading “COVID.” Unless, of […] The post Diaper Report: 05/10/2025 appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

More Power – Less Sense – Unless . . .

2025/05/09

Jeep is apparently about to bring forth a battery-powered iteration of the Compass, which is the brand’s smallest and least expensive vehicle. That latter being in relative terms, as the least expensive iteration of the 2025 Compass starts at $26,900. But it does come standard with an engine and you don’t have to plan your […] The post More Power – Less Sense – Unless . . . appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

“Never Forget”

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2025/05/08

The other day, President Trump urged us all to NEVER FORGET – his all caps – what happened to Jewish people (and other people, who are completely forgotten) during the national socialist era in Germany pushing 100 years ago now. This is interesting given that Trump wants us to forget some other, more recent things. […] The post “Never Forget” appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.

“Leveraging Data to Empower Drivers”

EPautos – Libertarian Car Talk ·

2025/05/08

Apparently, it’s not just GM that’s data-mining you. That is, using the “tech” embedded in your car to obtain information – say it the way the old BBC TV show, The Prisoner said it – about you. Such as information about the kind of music or talk radio programs you like to listen to. And […] The post “Leveraging Data to Empower Drivers” appeared first on EPautos - Libertarian Car Talk.
