Sunday Stories: "A Father's Obligation" by Thomas Kreutzer

Several months ago, when he assumed the editorial responsibility for the The Truth About Cars, Jack Baruth made a the readers several promises. Among those promises was a commitment that this web site’s home page would be “100% work safe.” Anyone, he said, should be able to visit this website any time and not have their career put in danger. NSFW material could still be published, he promised, but it would always come with a warning and be kept behind a link.

This week, I found out first-hand that he meant what he said. Ladies and gentlemen, the following story begins with certain language that, if taken out of context by someone in your place of employment, might get some of you into trouble. Click the following Sunday Story link at your own peril.

I look forward to reading your thoughts on this work in the comment section. – TMK

  • Funky D There are WAY too many of what my youngest son calls grayscale (white, black, silver, gray) out there.I will pick literally ANY color (including that baby puke yellow found on new Chevy crossovers) over a grayscale color. But if every car I had was arrest-me red, I'd be find with that.What happened to the 60s~80s when you could choose from a pretty rich color palate when placing your new car order?
  • Tassos Jeep again proving they stand behind freedom. The freedom to choose the fuel you use. I’ll take one in ”Right to express myself freely” pink.
  • Jeff Good move on Cadillac's part. Not everyone is ready for an EV it will take more time to expand the charging infrastructure and more affordable EVs.
  • 3-On-The-Tree I was never a fan of the newer dodge products but it’s still a shame that all the OEM’s are moving away from V8’s to turbo V6 and V4’s all in the name of emissions and better mpg.
  • FreedMike I like the idea of EVs, but the idea that they're going to achieve 100% market penetration was a fantasy to begin with. Also worth noting; Cadillac is on track to sell well over 20,000 Lyriqs this year. Not too shabby. https://www.coxautoinc.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Q1-2024-Kelley-Blue-Book-Electric-Vehicle-Sales-Report.pdf
