We've talked about this a little with Zac "the Mad Redneck" Hyden, a mechanic, organizer, and Christian Leftist from Alabama. He says that Appalachia is an internal colony inside the USA, and among other things it needs land reform to redistribute the land owned by absentee capitalists. He goes into more depth here: https://themadredneck.substack.com/p/internal-orientalism-of-the-american

Yeah I know someone who recently started posting stuff like this and it's really sad. And baffling, since he's a white American.

This is kinda making me want to buy a used Chevy Volt (more on that in an upcoming episode)

The states are: California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington.

An interesting idea, badly executed. Like the Wish.com version of a Chevy Volt.

You've probably heard of the Wankel rotary engine found in the Mazda RX-7, but it was also tested in all kinds of experimental vehicles, including torpedoes, Soviet cop cars, helicopters, and diesel tanks. But first: our project car updates, and some history about the inventor Felix Wankel.

We're offering our inexpert advice in all things automotive.

We might discuss your question on our podcast. Yes, this means that we've run out of ideas for episodes and are too lazy to do research.

Edit: Thanks for the questions everyone. We didn't have time to answer all of them on the show but I'll try to answer all of them on here. The episode probably won't be out for over a month since we've got a backlog of editing to do.

Rollout of the new Tesla Cybertruck has been less than smooth, and it turns out that their stainless steel body panels aren’t very resistant to stains or corrosion. Meanwhile, the UAW is fighting to unionize auto plants in the South, Chinese companies are getting ready to sell electric cars in North America, and beloved gas station Kum & Go considers a name change for some reason.

Our podcast gets a lot of downloads from the DC area, and we mostly just talk about shitty old cars

I live in Colorado and used to go skiing a couple times every year as a kid (ie, when my parents were paying for it). It's pretty fun to go sliding down a scenic mountain at 30 mph, and it's rewarding to learn and get better. But now that I'm an adult I've decided that it's not really worth it to wake up early on a weekend, drive 2+ hours, freeze my ass off, spend a lot of money, and possibly hurt myself. Speaking of, you definitely want a helmet if you don't want to end up like Sonny Bono.

There are a few smaller and cheaper ski slopes that aren't crowded with rich tourists, but they're the exception. I've run into plenty of rich dickheads on the slopes, and lots of loud obnoxious Texans dressed fully in Cowboys gear.

She went to high school with Nick Roman from Regular Car Reviews and iirc they were in a production of The Sound of Music together

[-] CarsAndComrades@hexbear.net 12 points 11 months ago

At least 12, but that's because I'm in a group chat with a bunch of leftist podcasters. IRL only one other white guy.

At my old shop they gave the job of running the EDM to the old dude who regularly fell asleep during his shift.

What I'm saying is that those machines are slow as hell.

[-] CarsAndComrades@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago

I wonder if he's inventing arbitrarily rigorous standards as an excuse to delay production again

[-] CarsAndComrades@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago

Depends on what it is. Some things like ball bearings need to be precise in order to work efficiently, but car body panels definitely do not need to be that precise. Pretty much nothing on a car needs to be within 10 microns.
