About to introduce a Jolene-level crisis in my marriage after the cashier at Harbor Freight sees me stroll up with a cart full of wheel jacks and wearing these bad boys.

Genuine policy question: will rolling back EPA standards stop the silly process of making pickup trucks so huge just to increase their wheelbase "footprint" so they face easier fuel economy requirements? Because smaller 1/2-ton trucks could be a nice silver lining.

Somebody shared photos from the 1977 Johnstown Flood, and while the damage is heartbreaking, it was cool to see some AMCs amongst the rubble.

Friend from California sent me a pic of a Honda Clarity PHEV and we both remarked on how rare they were, and then two days later I ended up following one in traffic.

I occasionally get endorsement offers sent to my YouTube channel, mostly for Chinese dashcams, which I always ignore. But today a guy offered to send me free beef jerky if I include it in a video, and I'm suddenly tempted to say yes...

I'm super honored to say that the Society of Automotive Historians just awarded our team with the E.P. Ingersoll Award for Excellence in the Presentation of Automotive History for our AMC documentary, "The Last Independent Automaker." Thanks to everyone here who supported and shared our work!

Another one for @flangy.bsky.social ~ I won this "GoldenEye Rogue Agent" t-shirt in 2004 from a Nintendo Power reader survey sweepstakes. Grand Prize was a full box set of 007 DVDs. 2nd prize was a t-shirt and the game, which I already owned. I traded the game with, but wore the shirt a lot.

Counterpoint: I think U.S. automakers should steal as much Chinese battery technology as possible.

These are badge-engineered 2-cycle Lawn Boys, btw. Hence the peeling paint on the green plastic insert on mower #3. Probably a rattle can job after replacing the original yellow plastic with a Lawn Boy part.

We interviewed almost 20 workers, the oldest of which started working there in 1951! Their personal stories are woven into the fabric of American Motors: www.youtube.com/watch?v=10yS...

Thinking this #LaborDay of all the AMC factory workers we interviewed for The Last Independent Automaker. A lot of auto journalists and historians only talk about workers when they strike or cause problems. I'm proud that we told a bigger story. If it weren't for the workers, there'd be no cars.

For the record, I think said tech CEO is a chowderhead, and that even with self-driving cars, carsharing won't work for a large swath of Americans for a variety of reasons. Car ownership will look different in the future, but it's not going away.

Joe Ligo @joeligo.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

Some dingus tech CEO said personal cars are gonna be gone by 2045 and everyone's gonna subscribe to self-driving carshares, and of course all the Facebook uncles are like "THATS COMMUNISM! NOT IN MY AMURICA" Actually bro, paying monthly to use a car you'll never own sounds a lot like capitalism.

“Have you seen ‘Beebop & Bingus Get the Havana Syndrome?’ It’s on Apple TV+ Plus, written by two former Walking Dead Producers with the guy who played Angelo Marxist on ‘Gravy and Woodstain‘ on Fox One. It’s so good! There’s 7 episodes and they’re 2 hrs & 45 min each. Season 2 comes out in 2035.”

YouTube keeps recommending interviews from Christopher Nolan's Odyssey press tour in Asia, which seem considerably more fun than his ones in the U.S.

According to Google (which could be wrong), it takes about 0.15 kWh to fry an egg on an electric stove. The Lightning's biggest battery has 123 kWh. Assuming you get 1.75 miles per kWh with a trailer and you drive a round trip of 20 miles, that leaves 88kWh for cooking. You could fry 586 eggs.

I always thought these trucks would be great for this. And way less annoying than a constantly running generator. Question is, could you use one on a kitchen that was fully electric, including an electric griddle? Or would that drain your battery too fast?
