He spent 5% of his after tax salary in one day to make kids happy. I have zero problems if he gets publicity out of it.

Was waiting for the payoff on that.

If buying a car were limited by both your pocketbook and your driving ability Ferrari would sell 12 cars per year.

You'll turn racing drivers into their even more miniature jockey counterparts!

I agree with you but the real question is "should this be a crime?" to which the answer is most likely no. Officers are charged with ensuring compliance to the law but are given a lot of leeway as to how seriously to take each offense. Arresting someone for charging a phone/car/laptop on public grounds is a waste of…

But do you REALLY want a Microsoft Surface for a wedding gift??

I think a lot of it was turbo cooling tech... If you didn't let your turbo cool off after a long or spirited drive you'd be in for some trouble with your turbo buick after 50k miles.

For whatever reason the only thing that's bothering me about this atrocity is that the TVs on each door panel are not lined up. Everything else about this car seems like it could be driven by a bad guy in a superhero B movie.

I agree with you but marketing for any product does this. Every company needs to make their product exciting whether or not it actually is...

Listen, dude, I'm tired of the anti-anti-anti AT movement, take it somewhere else!

Still is!

Too much decimals.

You're definitely right. GM must have heard that you were onto them so they staged their own bigger fire today.

Yes I get what you're saying and you're correct that if less cars are being sold less people will be driving. From my perspective if I can buy a Nissan Altima for $17k or a Ford Mustang for $18k I would get the Mustang every time, so those who are car shopping still have a good chunk of sporty choices available and…

There are still states in the US where there are no taxes assessed on a new car purchase but taxes typically range from 5-10% of purchase price. Chicago which is on the higher side also has a $200 tax to park in the city. My argument was very US centric but I do get that consumables are more expensive everywhere and…

Well you tricked me into doing basic research and math. A miata in 1995 cost $19,500 and median income was $34,000 meaning you could buy 1.7 miatas per year. In 2011 the median income was $44,300 and a miata cost $24,000 meaning you could buy 1.84 miatas per year for the same year of work.

Miata.
