Does it suck or not suck?

Power struggles are rarely pragmatic. The ego is a strong force to be reckoned with.

They certainly give Lucas a run for their money.

I had a girlfriend at the time who had to buy a new car and I was able to convince her a ‘94 GLX was the way to go. I ended up picking it up halfway across the country and put 1,000+ miles on it the first day and a ton of miles on for the next few years we dated.

It was a hoot to drive and a remarkable step up from the…

This is a power struggle, nothing more, nothing less. Trumka fears Gebre and the strip club attempted reimbursement gave him ammunition to make this move. It is obviously weak, but the stench may stick to Gebre.

Trumka has been playing in the union trenches for decades and is a formidable adversary who knows how to…

Hmmmm...so: Being pro-human = Evil liberal.

I guess I am evil.

They don’t hide the fact they are generally liberal politically, but that doesn’t change the fact that their testing programs involve trained engineers, statisticians, etc.

That’s what they call an “exit-level” buyer, but I doubt that industry will start advertising a “last-time buyer” incentive.

And buyers are favoring more expensive vehicles — sales of vehicles priced more than $40,000 rose 7 percent, while sales of vehicles under $20,000 fell 14 percent.

Minivans don’t have a third row now? Are you sure? All of the minivans that I know of still have a third row. 

Maybe he’s right. Mercedes-Benz had the R-Class, and it never sold in great numbers like the ML, or whatever they call that thing now.

Allegedly, Honda was working on an Acura version of the Odyssey, but I guess that was also never meant to be. 

Those are all Bosch parts, many of which were made in Germany. Ask me how I know...Okay, I’ll just tell you, because I had to start replacing window parts in my Volvo and they were all Bosch. Same for lots of other electrical bits in it. I recall the first time I removed the door panel on the passenger side of my…

Owner of a Toyota Sienna Limited here. Where do I sign up?

Yes, this thing is hideous, but a Lexus-ized Sienna or Acura-level Odyssey would be a killer car.* I suppose the kids don’t really deserve it back there, swimming in goldfish cracker crumbs, straw wrappers, glitter, Lego minifigure parts and several…

Came here to say this, but since you illustrated it so well, I will offer my “what he said” and a star. As a kid, I wanted an MGB GT, so when the spy shots started circulating of this thing in ‘1997, I got the warm, wet fuzzies going on.

I’ve had a Z3 coupe or M coupe since 1999. 

Ahem, not “sent to the United States whatsoever,” but built at the factory across the street from where you were driving and leaning up against the car. Just saying. America. Apple Pie. And Z3s.

Similar thing happened to a friend of mine who was T-boned by a cop at a four-way stop. Cop didn’t even slow down. My friend was about the squeakiest-clean 17-year-old you could imagine (might have been 18). They tested him for drugs, booze, searched the car—you name it. Obviously, they had nothing.

This happened long…

And, to return the favor, why not an SRT Fiata? There must be some leftover Viper engines out there somewhere. Or just Hellcat it, right?

Fair enough. There are enough dickheads to deal with on the way to work. I wasn’t exactly thinking of it as a commuting option. 

Wait until you have kids. I mess around all the time with one of theirs when the bikes, scooters, and skateboards are out. Or do you just not like fun?

Yesterday’s update said they produced 77,100 vehicles, but were only able to deliver “approximately 63,000” during Q1. If its Q4 guidance said 10,000 fewer than they could sell, the results are exactly the opposite, making the news, well, newsworthy.

They made significantly more cars than they could deliver. Also,…
