Yep, my almost 40 year old 4Runner, and 37 year old FJ will be my rides of choice for the foreseeable future. Fuck EVs, fuck the auto makers for being dumb and greedy enough to choose that path, and fuck the government fags pushing them.
If Trump were to scrap the initiative, major automakers fear they could be undercut by smaller manufacturers producing cheaper, internal combustion engine cars.
Fuck you!
Doesn't bother me. Never again will an American/UAW made piece of shit will sit in my driveway. The best thing for the dicktard 3 to do is add 25% to the price and sell them all in Europe since those morons think America cars are a status symbol.
For decades, since cars were first created, mechanical engineers 100% dominated all auto manufacturers design groups. All other considerations were secondary to what mechanical engineers dictated. Things radically changed in the past 25 or so years as more and more electronics were stuffed into cars, now becoming a full 25%-30% of the final purchase price of a vehicle. And the dictates from mechanical engineers began to be surpassed by the dictates from electrical engineers in car design. Auto manufacturers went all in in two areas: electrification and autonomy, due to actual government pressures forcing business changes (various EV mandates, plus tax incentives) and astroturfed pressure (virtue points for going green, DEI, etc). So car companies hired a ton of people who know a lot about electronics, and the shift in that direction is (loosely) permanent. Meaning they can't just move back to all ICE vehicles as they would be stuck with an electrical engineering workforce when they really need a mechanical engineering workforce. It will take decades to undo the damage to the market and these businesses that government interference caused, versus what would have evolved naturally with no government involvement. IMHO.
Yep, ill keep my old ass car and my next one will be a private sale used. They can fuck themselves.
