"I don't have proof of it but I just know it's true"...

Some marketing asshat decided "adult chicken nuggets" sounded pervy so he came up with boneless wings...which lets be honest, isn't that much less pervy. LOL

Sales of Ford F150 pickup trucks will continue to be strong regardless of how expensive fuel becomes because this is 'Merica.

The term "hypermiling" will become more familiar among Americans.

Yeah- I heard. A friend of mine bought one not to long ago and they kept on postponing the delivery date by 2 weeks, everytime it was time for him to pick it up.

Before long, stealing a gallon of gas will qualify as a felony if prices keep going up like they are.....

The primary group(s) of people buying EV's (…namely from BMW, Tesla, etc.) are those with money. The lower middle class and below are not. The EV craze will never take off like proponents predict.

To add to the EV issue….


…I have two partners at work who are very disenchanted with their Tesla's. The main gripes are misrepresentation of the battery life and build quality. They are lucky that 99% of the station drives ICE's, otherwise charging at work would be a Herculean effort. There is one planning to get a Tesla in June and he has already installed solar panels at his home and the EV charging system; he currently drives a Volt or Bolt…..I can't remember which. The three of them fight over the one charging spot we have.

You never know now. If the gas prices keep going up the way they are, a lot people will look for other means of transportation.
This morning I heard people at work talking about buying a motorcycle for the summer
It sure got me thinking . I haven't riden a bike in maybe 20 years, I don't know if it's a good thing for me to buy one
