It was a textbook disaster case of unnecessary empire building.

the condoms thing was made up bs 

Intoxicated people are a menace, whether they’re drunk or high.

No, it will be 4 years. There aren’t enough Red States in the country to pass a new constitutional ammendment.

A good CEO is constantly planning 3-10 years in the future. They should already have plans in place for the next 2+ years and a team of VPs working on their parts of the plans. A bad CEO is constantly shifting plans, meddling with day-to-day activities, and keeping focus on the next quarter. Minor changes in plans will…

‘Everything is made in such massive volumes and there are so many speculators that there are no one-of-ones or limited/low production cars to collect’

Jalopnik, as usual, doing zero research. 

To be even more fair, *IF* there were 4Runners for sale, you wouldn’t be paying MSRP for them anyhow. Probably $5-10k over.

Yup!  I’d be shocked if this wasn’t one of those.  I had a pre-order on one for two years and luckily pulled out of it once I saw how underwhelmed my wife was with it at a showing in Seattle.  So I’ve been following this whole saga with fascination.  Ha ha!

I was coming on to post this very thing, if I recall, the remaining Oceans (and their parts!) were purchased by a ride-sharing leasing company in NYC, so this may be one of the first of those cars to be hitting the road.

Suburban would be good.  Basically he needs seating for 6.

That’s what a lot of companies do already to put some vague claim that their products are “made in the USA”. Everything comes in parts that the average person could probably do the final assembly on their own, and then put that Made in the USA sticker on it and ship it out. The slack-jawed yokels look at that sticker…

Yeah, I had LiMu with alumni discounts, etc and still cut into the new rates by almost $1000 for the bundle. Love me some NJM.

Yep we built our system based on these exports, keep asking why we don’t refine here, no business case for it, easier to ship crude than all sorts of other products 

The look on his face would be priceless lol

This would totally work, as long as said manufacturer first “donates” at least $100 mill into The Orange Foolius’ bank account. Will be amazing to see the many work-arounds that are permissible after all the important palms are greased.

Too lazy to watch the videos...

I think the take-home message is that "they don't build them like they used to," and that is very likely a *good* thing haha

That’s fair

Yeah, Farmer’s would definitely have been in that price range. I usually stay on Beverly just up the street from there/by CBS studios, and have walked down there before. Now there is a Trader Joe’s across from there, but in 2010, there probably wasn’t a McDonald’s in that immediate area, and as you noted, if you don’t…
