  1. #DOJ is suing Massachusetts, Maine, Washington and Oregon, for not issuing confidential plates to ICE/ DHS.
    Adding insult to injury, they plaster their #cars with DEFEND THE HOMELAND which of course means protect indigenous people from government aggression - KIDDING - These white supremacists think invading #NorthAmerica made it THEIR homeland.

  5. Benny Beagle thinks we would get there faster in the Corvette.

    What do you mean, I’m projecting?

    May 28, 2026. Woodstock, Ontario.

    P.S. Spot the beagle!

  6. "sterile", "timid", "asexual" (non-derogatory)

    Yeah, this captures much of how the exterior of the Ferrari Luce hits me, and makes the excellent point that Ferrari's aren't meant to be practical, utilitarian, or sensible.

    They are meant to be outrageous, and the Luce fails utterly at that, despite its good qualities.

  8. Atmospheric oxidation of the anti-degradation compounds 6PPD and DPPD that are present in tire wear particulates produce approximately 90 compounds that are found in near-road environmental air samples. This mixture caused inflammation and death of human macrophages, and was more toxic than 6PPD-quinone.

    dane here. i talk to many who are scared of #cycling because of #cars.

    either they've been attacked or threatened themselves, or they know someone who was hurt badly by #carviolence. many drivers in their increasingly huge #SUVs are distracted by their phones.

    a colleague of mine was struck from the side by a van that illegally didn't yield. the driver rushed out to check if his car had any scratches, but didn't bother checking on the cyclist he hit. that's the #copenhagen mentality.

    the relentless #victimblaming doesn't help either. #cops will always call it an "accidental #accident" or a "bicycle accident" as if the bicycle is at fault when some distracted driver crushes them. or "the cyclist wasn't wearing a helmet," as the newspapers always write it.

    sure, #bicycle paths can be crowded — but the reason the space gets so tight on there is that most of the city space is dedicated to the less space-efficient vehicles.

    blaming #ebikes (instead of cars) for less bikable cities is like blaming refugees for your rent being too high (instead of landlords), or yelling at a wheelchair user for taking up all the pavement space.

  10. Outstanding. A man bought a retired NASCAR racing truck, put a fake VIN number on it, and tried to sell it at the Carlisle Auto Auction for use on the roads. Billy Bob didn't even change the racing tires. Pennsylvania State Police were not amused.

  11. Why is Ferrari facing such a backlash to its first electric car?

    The Italian marque has broken with the past with its four-door, €550,000 Luce and traditionalists are furious.

  12. 🚙You find an epic collection of seemingly forgotten cars, gathering dust inside an old industrial site. Question is: You can only save one, which one do you save?

    I would rescue that adorable blue Citroen, definitely 💙

  13. Was impressed to see on a website from a company up North selling performance parts for #cars and #workshop services, that prominently stated they were paying "UK Living wage".

    They also had 2 vacancies for #mechanics which would be a decent salary for that region (it would be good down South too!)

    But it shows a wider problem - both vacancies demand 2 years experience as well as the usual NVQ Level 2 / 3 - although I'd expected they to want more experience than that for the salaries quoted (and its a more specialist job than general mechanics) - for younger folk there's the dilemma of how are they going to get the 2 years experience if no one is willing to hire anybody who has just completed #college ?

  14. Birmingham council fined nearly £500,000 for breaching its own Clean Air Zone rules

    Birmingham City Council has been forced to fine itself £472,000 after its own fleet repeatedly violated the city’s…

  15. #AskFedi #cars, what new hotness exists in the world of windscreen washer fluid since the last time I bought a bottle like a decade ago (which has just run out)? Any special formula to get? Anything with rain repellent or anything added in? Anything specific to avoid? Any and all suggestions and boosts welcome.

  16. RE: social.linux.pizza/@leffe/1166

    It’s ridiculous that drivers have to put up with this kind of nonsense for completely ill-conceived ‘safety’ features. The #EU needs to remove this requirement. They have become actual #safety detractors as they cause major distraction. Everything was brought into law without any major public discussion.

    I can only guess #Israel company #MobileEye lobbied heavily for this, as they have a virtual monopoly on several aspects.
