Side by side special. A white Toyota Celica prepares to race with flames coming out of the exhaust. Japanese text overlays the image.

Gonna tell my grandkids this was Gran Turismo.

Wish there was an easier way to see how/why it was Lemon Law’d. It sounds like it could be for something as dumb as a replacement bumper due to paint chips.

i had a dream that i posted this and they had to add a dislike button to the website

That 2022 ID.4 Pro RWD is still for sale nearby, for under $17k 🙃

I think they're a bit better than the Audi E-Tron on the reliability front? How bad could it be!

Right! Most of these are 2021-2023 models, I'd assume everything's been repaired!

Absolutely! Checked out the restrooms, had a brisket sandwich - top notch stuff.

Not a terrible excuse to get a Mach-E 😅

The Mach-E forums suggest that it could be a variety of issues, including delayed software updates, repainted bumpers, and more. I suppose if I were planning to keep it long-term, it wouldn't matter much?

Used EV shopping, as one does, turns out a Ford dealer I went to in the middle-of-nowhere Illinois (Pontiac) has a boatload of Mach-E examples in the configurations I've been looking for.

A lot of them have CA Lemon Law titles, though... Big concern?

There’s a navy blue one I still see around here regularly.

Full salute every time it drives by!

Pretty high on the list of odd-balls to watch out for.

Bathurst is on

They look great in person, and I even think the low-trim models are the way to go!

I’m just over here thirsty for a RWD EV sedan 😅

Looks like early i4s are dipping into the upper $20k range.

Get to the right price and I’ll become a BMW sicko.

I often think about how the Fusion continues to be *everywhere* here in Michigan, same with the Malibu. I’d love to have seen Ford and GM keep tinkering.

Gotta admit, I think this is still my favorite of the modern Bentley models.

EPA reverses long-standing climate change finding, stripping its own ability to regulate emissions The agency announced it is repealing its 2009 conclusion that greenhouse gases warm the Earth and endanger human health and well-being.

Stripping the EPA’s authority to fight climate change is a dereliction of duty. More profits for fossil fuel executives and wealthy shareholders at the expense of our planet and future.

The climate emergency is here.

Dude should have gave it up with the whole NFT thing, but we live in an unjust world.

Of local interest, I wonder how many times the DeVos or Prince family shows up in The Files.

Oh man, Alpina simply does not miss.

CAUGHT ‘EM CUDDLIN’

Gotta impress the street!

Needs a set of air bags and tri-spokes.

How did Epstein avoid accountability for so long? @brookegladstone.bsky.social spoke with @jkojournalist.bsky.social, who has been poring through the Epstein files and finding new information about how prosecutors failed to bring him to justice for so many years.

Heads up, @thedigitalbits.bsky.social readers: Per industry & retail sources, Warner’s #4K #UltraHD release of the Wachowski’s SPEED RACER (2008) should street on or about 5/19. Adjust your plans accordingly! #GoSpeedGo #EmileHirsch
