Can’t wait to pick one up in 5 years for 10% of MSRP and then spend 300% of MSRP on repairs.

Sub brands have been pretty “hot” lately. But they pretty much all end the same way, dead. 

Pretty much nothing, the “EV maintenance savings” is something that someone thought about for 30 seconds and decided it was true and now it is repeated ad nauseum. Let’s not forget about EV’s and their tires!

I would like to see that study. I have an old ass hybrid and upkeep has been marginally higher when compared to a full ICE vehicle and outside of oil changes and engine air filters, there aren’t many savings an EV has. And in an EV you get worse tire wear due to weight. 

I just looked on T.com and none of the models in the US have that color available. Maybe it is in another country or some sort of special edition? To be fair, this article isn’t about cost of ownership or anything like that, just overall “greenness” of the car. 

That is a good idea. Stay with what you know. When I lived in Philly I didn’t have a car, now in Bmore I do, but where we live is much less dense. So outside of a few events downtown and the airport, I don’t have to deal with it much. And the random times I do outside of that, I am usually traveling for work, so valet…

While I think it is kind of cool and maybe a NP for the right person, that person is not me. This is ND at almost any price for me. 

Yea, that is pretty terrible. Luckily, I don’t use parking garages too often and most of the time it is short term so I can remember. I have also luckily never had a situation where the way to get to my car is now closed, yikes. 

Mine was 3 weeks ago, haha. I should have just taken a picture, but I didn’t. I was on the right level but in the F row instead of G, so I was close. But at 10pm after a week on the road, it wasn’t what I was looking for in a “fun” time. 

And they make good cars because of unlimited competitive advantages like stolen or “borrowed” if you want to be nice, IP. Dirt cheap labor and a government that will do whatever is needed to help them get into global markets.

The ruling government in China has a rooting interest in them succeeding. They will do what they can to help those companies get a foothold in any market. Not sure if you are up on how China runs but look at their real estate bubble that should have imploded, but has been propped up to the nth degree. The same…

Lando at #3 is the best chance to happen first by a long shot. All he needs to do is finish int he top 10 in race 1 without winning to break his own record.

I fly Southwest a lot and did United or American, I forget, from Miami to Vegas a few weeks ago and both were fine. Like I said, it might be a bit of a pain, but the odds are it will be completely fine and nothing weird or inconvenient will happen. There are around 45k flights every day in the US and we get a bad…

2nd Gear: There is a real risk with Chinese EV’s that they could take over our market, I don’t think that would be good. These companies don’t play by the same rules that other auto makers do, they have unlimited funds to some extent and cheap labor. 

To be fair, I was gone for a week for work and when I got back to the airport I only had a vague remembrance of where I parked. Luckily, I got most of it right and found my car in a minute or two. But there for about 30 seconds, I was lost. Lucky for me, my fob decided to work and give me an audible clue. 

Her name is really, “Timmie John”? BRAAAAAAA......

My thought exactly. If this was me, you can bet your ass I would be finding a hotel to stay at instead of just sleeping outside. 

I feel like for air travel, the bad things get blown out of proportion. Sure, they happen, but the odds it actually happens to you are pretty low. I have never had a terrible flight experience and I fly a bit more than most people I assume. In the past year I have flown from MD to FL and back, MD to the Bahamas and…

I think that train has long since left the station. The whole family seems like a train wreck if even half the stuff on here wiki page is real. 

Can I use the $100k to buy more than 2 cars? Or can I use it to add 2 cars to my current car? Because if either of those are on the table it would be easy.
