they were awful, because of cheaply designed automatic transmissions that failed repeatedly

ah I wasn't aware of that, the Fiesta ST we had was a manual so we didn't have much reason to know about that issue.

how the fuck more deranged can it get over there?? fuck's sake the UK seems worse than even China now with this shit.

well that was a wild ride, in the four minute span between me reading that article and looking for more information, I actually believed it and felt really depressed. thankfully it was only four minutes to debunk!

Ford should roll back truck plans, not EV plans.

most truck drivers don't fucking need a truck, and might be just as happy with smaller vehicles if Ford hadn't stopped fucking building them.

Focus and Fiesta were great cars, especially in hatch/wagon form. Should be good enough for most people.

Not far off. I wouldn't do well with owning and maintaining a farm, but damn do I yearn for a career change often

great movie, too

Even free is too high a price to pay to provide that shit franchise any more cultural relevance.

Fuck the fucking shitbag JK who actively funds and supports trans hate and anti-trans laws

zillow is primarily a tech company. and it's run by incompetent techbros who should have been fired the instant they laid people off for no reason other than moronic executive decisions had predictably disastrous outcomes (Zillow Offers)

Next to Bernie she's the best the Dems have to offer. And for any possible run for President, she beats Bernie on age.

If they run Harris again, or Newsom or some other conservative Democrat in 2028, the party is fucked.

One of the drivers mentioned in this article has a youtube video showing his odometer going from 124,999 to 125,001, completely skipping 125,000. One of the comments asks him to reach out to the law firm handling the class action lawsuit, but the owner replies with:

Happy to help if you're interested in paying a consultation fee for my time-- but otherwise these actions only enrich the law firms and I'm not volunteering to do that.

This mindset is so frustrating. Class action lawsuits are legit, they hold companies accountable and they pay out cash to people. To say that they only enrich law firms is not just wrong, but I think actually harmful to repeat like he has, especially in the great age of enshittification where everything tries to force binding arbitration agreements into every contract and agreement.

All federal funding will stop

That's the only part here anyone needs to know.

He'll threaten to pull funding for his stupid pet issues first, then pull it anyways for everyone else.

Therefore, fucking ignore his threats, nothing you can do will ever appease him and he will go back on his own word like it's a bodily function.

It gives me hope that folks are tailing ICE nazis like this.
