Killer Pick Up Trucks

[T. A. Gardner]

Hmm, here you are again with part of the story.
This century began with stringent CAFE standards about to be imposed via the Clintons.
Darth Cheney immediately quashed them and changed the rules so that giant SUVs could be classified as light trucks.
This set back electric car innovation by 10 years (the manufacturers would have needed the zero emissions electric cars to bring up their fleet average to meet the Clinton's CAFE standards).

Good. Thank you Dick Cheney. Electric battery cars are stupid.

Thank God and Dick Cheney!

Lefties are some serious fun-sucks, aren’t they lol.

Rhetorical question.

You have never driven a Tesla in insane mode obviously.
Even a Chevy Bolt does 0-60 in 6.3 seconds.

Almost any electric car has great acceleration and passing speed. My Volt is quick.

The Wall Street Journal delivered a lengthy treatise that looks at a normal aspect of American life, one that almost nobody looks at as being a nefarious component in our existence, with contempt: driving pickup trucks.
Using "almost" is the qualifier here, as we have come to learn that the learned elites are capable of looking at the most mundane characteristics of society and sneering. In a display of abject elitism, writer Dan Neil has managed to take an isolated personal experience and elevate his near-trauma to a need for bans on the venal vehicles.

It turns out Dan was in a Costco parking lot and had a close call with a GMC Denali. To suggest he was affected by an event that a large swath of America has probably experienced is an understatement:


Yeah, we can say he was affected:


Mr. Neil then goes on to list a number of safety features that these trucks could be outfitted with to ensure the safety of others, and he tips his elitist hand by employing the tired argument involving the supposedly more-evolved souls on the continent: "such systems are not mandatory, as they would be in Europe." Yes, we need to follow the guidance of those who are outlawing butter knives and look askance at pedophilia scandals for fear of being labeled as intolerant.

What we have here is the familiar practice of leftist elites who encounter an inconvenience in their personal life and immediately conjure up a way for the government to remedy their discomfort. This was the mentality of a San Francisco Board of Supervisors member who tired of his young child pestering him for Happy Meals to get the toys. Rather than be a parent he decided to pass a law forbidding the restaurant chain from giving away free toys. Now we have a grown man who saw a scary truck and thus wants to impose European neutering standards in order for him to feel protected.

Dan Neil of course found an ally in academia. Well ... sort of. He cited as a fellow pickup truck opponent an associate professor of design at ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena. You have to wonder just how many phone calls had to be placed before getting someone this far-flung to latch onto his paranoia. But hey, now he can back up his impotent argument by stating that anyone who opposes his efforts are not among the educated set, and they probably hate science too.

Then, sensing a true movement among the elitist minds, Ryan Cooper over at The Week decided to take up the pitchfork and torch and join in on the flatbed fussilade, and of course, he had to take things a step further. Not content to merely lobby for EU truck standards, he went so far as to "expose" what pickup trucks are designed for in reality: running people over.

By my calculations, he is in his sixties, weighs almost 300 and is addicted to opiates. He sells female products by telephone. All made in China.

lol.
I broke up with the Boston g/f about 8 years ago. no woman could measure up after. We stay in touch like when Ray Thomas ( flautist for Moody Blues) dies but with rock stars dying their are no more shows like Petty or Moody Blues to attend.
She even quit ushering the Summer Shed tours, so there isn't anything much left to say

I refuse to discuss my sex life otherwise -those are not a relationship- and no one's business.

I'm sure however you aren't getting anything -no woman wants to be with a childish nasty like yourself
