I have to be pedantic- it's Jon Tester, not John. He's my senator and I'm doing my best to keep him.

When in the Culture Wars pettiness is as good a weapon as any.

First off, how many f*ing cars does one person need? Not even one for each hand.

Second, using their logic, any used vehicle is already worn beyond use.

Ta, Dok. All cars have batteries. Not all of them run on them.

Funny EV story. I had only had my EV for 2 months when a Jeep hit me. The guy with an ugly neck beard got out and immediately started yelling at me about my “stupid f*cking smart car being pretty f*cking stupid” and “anyone who’s stupid enough to buy a stupid f*cking smart car doesn’t know how to drive”. He argued with me about it being my fault when it clearly was not and was refusing to give me his insurance information. Long story short, my “stupid f*cking smart car” is smart enough to record all interactions and save them so not only did I have video of him hitting my car to show to the police, I also had beautiful video to upload to the insurance company, which his insurance paid all $7000 of the repairs. Don’t f*ck with a smart car!

These people are so fucking beyond parody at this point that they are straight up boring and predictable. There's no surprise at all anymore. I've been shocked and outraged so many times I think the shock and outrage button has gotten worn down. So instead of shock and outrage, I'm just filled with a deep and abiding loathing and a bad case if acid reflux.

"I suppose we could point out that the other big scandal this week involved Donald Trump’s spiritual advisor resigning after being revealed as a child molester, but it’s not like the man ever drove a car with a battery in it."

Of course not. What if you were driving a car with a battery in it in Nevada or Wisconsin, and suddenly you realize there is a shark within 10 feet of your car?

You try molesting the 12-year-old who's house you are staying in while dealing with such horrors.

Can't be done.

I would love to have a Prius, but it wouldn't survive the many rocks jutting into the road which is why I have a Forester. The new house has a plug-in so we're ready when we replace that vehicle.

RAV4 Prime is probably what you will want. PHEV with ~40-ish miles of range (and full range is over 600 miles). plenty of ground clearance and AWD.

Thanks for the tip. We're thinking of replacing our 1984 Subaru Legacy hatchback soon and this looks like a good option.

So do I, but smoking fresh oysters is not easy and frankly a waste of time when there's stacks of them in the canned meat and fish isle!

I like them 'cause they're chewy, but I don't like the oil they're packed in, and the random crunchiness I encounter while eating them.

It's a muggs game to try and appeal to these cretins. I wish they would just stop it.

I think Tester and Sheehy should have themselves a good old-fashioned debate. Let Sheehy talk about the sin of the Prius and let Tester talk about Sheehy's gunshot wound. As in "don't you think that emergency room personnel can tell the difference between a new gunshot wound and an old one?" After that he can get into where exactly Sheehy is from. I think Tester is going to hold onto his seat if this is all the GOP can come up with.

Also, too, we bought a used Nissan Leaf about 9 years ago, sold it to a friend about 7 years ago, it's still going strong. STFU people who don't know shit.

Also, also, too, "There aren't a lot of dirt farmers in Montana drive a Prius." Yeah, bitch, and they are poorer for it. JFC.

Love how these people just have so much money to blow on performative masculinity and toughness over practicality. Wish I had that money to blow.
