It’s not going to be five years. It’s going to consistently be 2-3. Intels Ohio plant breaks ground shortly and anticipates operations in early 2025. Wolf speed came in at just under two years.

The GOP’s new position (post Manchin Schumer) is irrelevant. The bill made it though the house yesterday and the GOP look like clowns for believing there would be no environmental legislation lined up after the chip bill cleared the Senate.

I am so tired of low angle shots of cars in marketing pics.

Dewey...

Anecdotal note...

Let’s stick the guy who’s been dealing with Honda reliability for his driving life in a Saab?

“And yet inflation is still at record highs...”

Schumer and Manchin made nice yesterday.

This credit mismanagement combined with the worst dealership experiences of my life (no cars were bought, fuck them and their predatory bullshit), and exposure to an untold number of horror stories from others, make me wonder…

Traditionally I like my cars to make a statement.

I am waiting for the Ford SVT Bronco RS5000 Raptor GT350 MKII Bullitt edition.

You owe that car an apology. 

Why ruin a perfectly good auto crosser to make a slow drag car?

The weirdest part to me is he’s basically saying “Want a Highlander?  How about this Mitsubishi?”

Good job getting close to MSRP. That’s not easy in this market.

“A lot of people on this site seem to underestimate how much “peace of mind” is worth to a lot of people, especially if you don’t have the knowledge or means to do your own wrenching.”

I wasn’t specifically talking about Chicago and I wasn’t talking about places with high condo concentrations. I was talking about sacrificing quality for quantity, which at the end of the day is what Mr McParland was advocating for.
