And 100% true. Bitching and moaning isn't helping solve the problems, just makes it worse.

Some things cannot be helped. Some times you have to let things burn to ground before it can be fixed.

Leaving is the smart option. For now.

And don't be an ******* talking **** online.

Next time some right winger complains about California to my face, they are getting a fist in the mouth. I'm done with the BS.

Wait on second thought I don't really want the thread locked. Won't add to that likelihood. Though I think it's inevitable now.

news and rumors has really kind of stopped being interesting for a few years now. It used to be about greatest new cars coming out, but with more and more makers making fewer new interesting cars things sort of deteriorated. All that is left is 255 pages of talking about manufacturing and delivery dates.

Maybe Peak car has happened and the best days are behind us. Maybe another golden age is right around the corner, but I highly doubt that. Regulations never spawn anything 'exciting' or 'entertaining'.

IMO the pandemic has put a damper on the golden age of ICE. There are so many amazing ICE vehicles that are not obtainable to the masses largely due to the parts shortages and manufacturing delays that have inflated prices and fueled dealership greed.
