Biden Is Coming for Your Truck
WSJ ^ | 21 March | Kimberley Strassel

‘Historic progress’ on electric cars may turn into a historic rout in swing states.

This week’s Environmental Protection Agency tailpipe rule amounts to an imminent ban on gasoline-powered cars

Who else approves? The White House will point to a cheerleading automotive industry, but peek behind the pom-poms and you see an administration with a gun to carmakers’ heads...

“They’re coming for your truck.” An energy trade group has already been up with ads making that point in swing states, calling on Americans to reject Biden’s “EPA car ban.”

Today’s Democratic Party is entirely dedicated to the proposition that all Americans should be told how to live.

No problem for me - I drive a Honda Ridgeline, which my SIL tells me is a “NART”: Not A Real Truck.

Not a problem, it is part of the plan.

My brother has a 2001 Tundra with a quarter of a million miles on it and it looks like it came off the showroom floor still. He’s getting ready to buy another Tundra and asked me about a hybrid and I urged him to stick with gas simple because of repair costs when it’s out of warranty and he likes to keep his vehicles 20 yrs. He’s listening to the gas mileage and hybrids PR.

Good luck with that move even with an E85 engine.

Alcohol eats many different things and attracts water like a magnet.

Saw a big Ford pickup truck today with a “Joe 2024” sticker on the bumper. Driver wasn’t around - I wanted to ask him how long he thinks he’ll be allowed to keep it if Team Joe retains the White House.

The GOPee scum seem to be slowly trickling out of the House to give the Dumbs control. At least my rep (porker Gaetz) appears to want to hang in there. If he wins his primary, I will vote for him in the general.

Oh, and I plan to learn how to care for my own ICE car. We’ll all need to become auto mechanics, Cuba style, in the next few years. JMO.
