Unauthorized #fire#truck wandering around #Sacramento, fire department is asking people to contact law enforcement if seen. Apparently driven by two heavily tattooed guys without shirts 🤔 #FireDepartment
Maybe I should get a compact pickup #truck as my first stick shift #car. It'd be very useful for cargo carrying (motorcycle, bicycle, etc. stuff), and passenger capacity wouldn't matter since it we already have a car for that.
I also originally learned to drive in a compact pickup back in the day.
“Roadway deaths in the US are mounting despite government test data showing vehicles have been getting safer. While the number of all car-related fatalities has trended upward over the last decade, pedestrians and cyclists have seen the sharpest rise: over 60% between 2011 and 2022.
While driving through Monitor Valley in central Nevada yesterday, far off in the distance, I noticed a large shape. Using my binoculars I couldn't figure out what it was. There was a road that went toward it but stopped about a half mile from what I could now see was a semi-tractor. Yup, a big rig tractor in the middle of the desert, no road, and a horse skull in a bird's nest in the driver seat.
As everyone could've predicted, GM is forced to walk back it's all-BEV truck lineup. It's one thing to jump into a fad; at least there are government mandates to worry about. But BEV trucks make zero sense and are basically unusable for their intended purpose. As a result, they will have to build PHEV versions. Eventually, they'll realize they'll have to stop making BEV trucks altogether.
"The shift towards heavier and less fuel-efficient conventional vehicles increases growth in both oil demand and CO2 emissions. Between 2021 and 2022, oil use in conventional cars, excluding SUVs, remained roughly the same, but the oil consumption of SUVs globally increased by 500,000 barrels/day, accounting for a third of the total growth in oil demand. On average, SUVs consume around 20% more oil than an average medium-size non-SUV car."
Heard a new way to refer to this monstrosity. “InCell Camino” and almost went into full arrest cause you know, the uncontrolled laughter. #cybertruck#incellcamino#tesla#truck#cars
