So please, let me know how this magical “price gouging” is going to benefit anyone but the one gas station who’s able to sell gas at $20/gallon. I’ll wait.

No, I got my degree in something useful, Economics. Which is why my supposition is built on an actual understanding of how microeconomics works and yours is histeria bordering on when you got your C- in Simpsonology from UCLA and it threatened your communication degree.

Yeah thank goodness we rejected that libertarian wet dream and implemented price controls beforehand. Now we can enjoy having no gasoline at any price, thus achieving our goal of ensuring the misery is spread around equally.

There’s no such thing as “price gouging”. It’s Econ 101, when supply is down prices go up in order to more efficiently get the product where it is needed. Now, I know gasoline is an example of inelastic demand in the short term, but overall consumption will end up being down because it’s no longer cheap and that’s a…

There would be no panic buying if prices were allowed to rise. When prices are not allowed to rise, there is a very legitimate fear of running out.

Aren’t they all?

This seems like a far more responsible way to implement this feature, and shows the difference between a real automobile manufacturer and a company that thinks it is making wheeled iPhones or something. Good for GM, they have to get something right once in a while.

Sleeper Agent.

Have you used the Mercedeses that watch your face? They have to have had them for at least 4 years or so.

Super Cruise is a markedly more responsible (And cooler! So Cadillac.) name for this feature than any of those iterations of “autopilot.” They leave a false impression in the user’s mind as to the extent of the autonomy of those devices.

You get a star for having a wife that knows classes of subs!

The F1 top speed record is 229.9 MPH, it’s designed to be a F1 car for the street not a Veyron killer.

Do you people even read the press releases?

Yeah, everybody knows you keep the bra on in the lead photo; that way people click-through to see it taken off.

Sean Spicer is back!

Somewhat different situation but I recall reading about a guy back in the 50s or 60s stood on his roof to watch the president playing golf and got instant attention from the secret service. The problem wasn’t that he was watching from his roof, it was that he didn’t have binoculars and so was using the scope on his…

And apparently put 300,000 miles on the OE tires since replacement (at $1,000/set easy) is not mentioned anywhere. Amazing!

Five gets you ten the department that paid for that new battery was marketing, not warranty fulfillment.

I’ll also note the automotive press outside of “green” publications had a whole lot of nothing to say when a Volt hit 300,000 miles. http://www.hybridcars.com/chevy-volt-travels-300000th-mile/

$70,000 for the Lincoln, with roughly 100 days of servicing.

Bogus numbers are bogus. 70k to maintain a lincoln town car to 300k miles. Hahaha, no
