Correct me if I'm wrong - I was under the impression that this site was called "The Truth About Cars" as opposed to "The Politically Correct Truth About Cars".
There are places on the internet where the goal is to be as big of a dick as possible, 4chan, single make enthusiast forums, any number of political websites etc.
On a website dedicated to discussing all thing car related, it's generally much easier to get your point across while not being a dick about it. People are much more inclined to listen.
That being said, I'm all for dick's rights, but they shouldn't be too surprised when they're treated accordingly on the internet as well as IRL.
@danio3834 > That being said, I’m all for dick’s rights, but they shouldn’t be too surprised when they’re treated accordingly on the internet as well as IRL.
By that logic, then calling someone a dick (instead of an idiot) should be considered a personal attack and grounds for banning from TTAC.
A consistent policy of enforcement would be beneficial to all who comment on this site.
(B.T.W. - Personally, people can call me a dick until the cows come home. I've been called far worse, and I'm still standing..:))
The tone in which you receive your news will eventually become the tone with which you deliver your news. As far as I'm concerned, a banning is simply addressing a symptom, not the disease. We all know the disease, but we value our discussions of your work more than to be banned for citing the progressing lack of skill or vision around here.
If you are a gossiping fishwife, droning incessantly-- every day-- about every thing; you will run out of things to say. When you run out of things to say, you will invent things to say. Inventions are not all successful-- in fact, InventHelp™ has a television commercial which has a disclaimer to exactly this effect.
What we've got here, TTAC boys, is a lack of content causing the commentariat agony. We've endured The BoothBabe. We've endured rants about Christian symbology offending youall. We know the size of Baruth's penis. We know you writers worth a damn have walked-away already.
That familiarity breeds contempt. We feel contempt from every one of youall, very nearly daily-- and, we as a group are simply lobbing the ball back to youall.
Don't hate the player-- hate the game, yo.
Lack of content is an excuse for bad commenter behavior? No.
When you run out of things to say, you should walk away. If you can't, that's YOUR problem, not the site's.
There will be some people for whom no amount of fodder for good comments is enough. (Think of Homer Simpson in hell with donuts.) Some people will always run out of things to say, and it is then time for them to stop talking.
Management has said before (and recently) that they do not welcome comments about what articles they should NOT post. Take that to heart. If content is lacking, suggest what you want to read, or walk away.
Finish the phrase: "If you haven't got anything nice to say..."
Google it if you have to.
SCE to AUXFaraday Future shouldn't even be here, and they won't make it. Other ultra-expensive EVs are fun projects for companies who can fund them from other revenue.The Lucid Air is a strange one because it starts at $87k but can run to over $250k. Most cars jump only around 50% for top trims, not 300%.As for EVs - don't give me more power (easy); give me more range (hard). And quicker filling time.
DukeisdukeIt's funny how stuff like this crosses over between sites nowadays - there's an article about it today on MacRumors: Polestar 2 Software Update Brings Wave of New Apple CarPlay Features - MacRumors

DukeisdukeTim, once all this foam is everywhere, how do you get rid of it? Does it take a while to break down? I think of the scene in the 1963 James Garner / Doris Day film "The Thrill Of It All", where boxes of soap end up in the swimming pool, creating mountains of foam. The Thrill of It All (1963) - IMDb
MrIckyI have a foam cannon, it makes washing the car much faster which helps me do it more often. Foam cannon>pressure wash>suds bucket and mitt for tough spots but touch as little as possible>pressure wash those spots>spray on some detailer solution as I dry to keep the water beading up. 15 minutes-ish?
