nostr:npub1efvh0km06s5fqtz2mczx9yutnc6f4ksn39f6z0nz5n8hgde6x7vqp04jx2 so many people just happy to watch the world burn while they have their big trucks and SUVs. It's just sad.
Years ago I was visiting a friend and we went out in her Hummer she knew I hated, and she told me I would just have to "deal". Hope she enjoyed "dealing" with the month long summer in Phoenix where she lives of 110 plus days. She helped cause it after all.
I know it's mostly agriculture and oil companies and industrial pollution that cause it, but we're not helping.

The 16 mpg will actually be worse while sitting in interstate gridlock in the evacuation routes because no one listens to early warnings, just like they didn’t listen to early climate change warnings.

Fuq this POS #Murrican company
nostr:npub1efvh0km06s5fqtz2mczx9yutnc6f4ksn39f6z0nz5n8hgde6x7vqp04jx2 that doesn't even look like a jeep, it's just an ugly bedless truck
nostr:npub1efvh0km06s5fqtz2mczx9yutnc6f4ksn39f6z0nz5n8hgde6x7vqp04jx2 List price in the U.S.: $95,440.
There are multiple ways the executives at Chrysler-Fiat are disconnected from reality.

Another rust bucket from Jeep., I was in automobiles for 40 years .Jeeps had the worst resale of any vehicle.
nostr:npub1efvh0km06s5fqtz2mczx9yutnc6f4ksn39f6z0nz5n8hgde6x7vqp04jx2 The next phase of America's obsession with massive tank-like vehicles. First it was the cars, then it was the crossovers, then it was the compact SUVs, then it was the mid sized SUVs, then it started to become the body-on-frame Truck SUVs and now we're approaching just driving the M1 Abrams to work.

Jeep like many other manufacturers do business. They will stop selling these massive monsters when Americans stop buying them? Change comes from the bottom, from us consumers ... Let's stop being hypocrites.
nostr:npub1efvh0km06s5fqtz2mczx9yutnc6f4ksn39f6z0nz5n8hgde6x7vqp04jx2 Shamefully disgusting! Idiots like these make our whole species look bad.
nostr:npub1efvh0km06s5fqtz2mczx9yutnc6f4ksn39f6z0nz5n8hgde6x7vqp04jx2 Seems to be par for the course for Jeep though. They started focusing on appealing to the worst sorts quite some time ago. Frankly I'm just shocked it doesn't have smoke stacks and easily removed catalytic converters for really wrecking everything.
nostr:npub1efvh0km06s5fqtz2mczx9yutnc6f4ksn39f6z0nz5n8hgde6x7vqp04jx2 We'll all be living in them soon enough, and fighting over the gasoline to keep them moving.
nostr:npub1efvh0km06s5fqtz2mczx9yutnc6f4ksn39f6z0nz5n8hgde6x7vqp04jx2 I’m actually surprised it even gets 16
nostr:npub1efvh0km06s5fqtz2mczx9yutnc6f4ksn39f6z0nz5n8hgde6x7vqp04jx2 That thing is obscene, unless you're going to live in it (and I wouldn't).
nostr:npub1efvh0km06s5fqtz2mczx9yutnc6f4ksn39f6z0nz5n8hgde6x7vqp04jx2 That’s perfect after a zombie apocalypse after society breaks down due to catastrophic changes…wait‽ 😂
nostr:npub1efvh0km06s5fqtz2mczx9yutnc6f4ksn39f6z0nz5n8hgde6x7vqp04jx2 Groovy... 🤨.. Probably costs 50k too... It does look big enough to live in... (sarcasm). Can you imagine how much filling the tank would cost?
nostr:npub1efvh0km06s5fqtz2mczx9yutnc6f4ksn39f6z0nz5n8hgde6x7vqp04jx2
Wonder why they didn't make it an electric vehicle...
🤣
