I don’t think they stopped selling for political reasons. It’s just normal capitalism stuff. They could have also have discontinued sales if they felt the existence of the product was hurting their brand as a store.

At this point, it seems the only stores that will continue to carry the items are those who are trying…

The lists are repetitive because they are the worst cars in the world. These lists are never useful. They’re only meant for entertainment. If you don’t like them, don’t read them.

No bonus points because of context. As far as I’m concerned you judge the cars in a vacuum.

If you finish last at the statewide 100m dash you get no bonus points for being the fastest person at your local school.

Holy crap that kid looks like he just started wearing his big boy pants yesterday. They are letting babies get a driver’s licence now?

I think the joke is apparent as I don’t think any person would judge the success or failure of a mission based on a kick-ass photo.

At best it was some middle executive telling someone under them to “figure it out” and remaining ignorant enough to maintain plausible deniability.

At best.

If that photo had been taken while on the mission (I’m sure it wasn’t) I’d think twice about calling it a failure.

It doesn’t matter because it doesn’t matter. No one compares 0-60 times but enthusiasts. No one. If you graphed the 0-60 times of all vehicles under $30k you’d probably have only a slightly fluctuating line.

And if 0-60 times mattered to the buying public you’d see the most popular cars being the ones with the better…

The point is, what new cars today do not have adequate performance for your average driver? Take, say, all cars below $30,000. All of them have reasonable acceleration, and often the car isn’t driven close to its own acceleration figures. It’s just no longer relevant from a consumer perspective.

Please supply an example of a new car that can’t get to highway speeds in a reasonable amount of space. It’s just not real-world relevant anymore. Your Aunt Betty is not comparing 0-60 times when she’s trying to decide between a Camry and a CRV.

No one buying the average commuter car ever looks at a 0-60 time. It’s irrelevant because all cars can get up to speed. If a car is too slow it’s always the driver’s fault.

It’s not relevant now at all. Any car produced today can get up to speed on an on-ramp. No one except people interested in sports cars cares about a 0-60 time.

Sometimes shit just happens. It’s nobody’s fault. It’s just fortunate no one got hurt. 0.3 seconds later and that guy in in a world of hurt.

The decision not to run twice up the gut and kick a field goal is a worse decision than the Seahawks throwing at the 1-yard line.

So, I’m still trying to figure out what is going on in that video. Are they racing at all. Looked like a bunch of people jammed together and a couple were trying to get over a rock or something.

Made zero sense watching it.

Wow, you mean to tell me that I’ll be able to pick this sweet ride up for $25,000 in 7 years and promptly go broke maintaining it?

So, $6000 per year to own a $100 car.

I usually want to fly Southwest to avoid all the fees, but I will fly a budget airline from time to time, and not unless I see that the total cost I’d pay is less than a comparable flight on a standard airline.

So I don’t know how an educated consumer is going to spend more, barring some corner cases,

That’s an amount so tiny, it’s not worth really worrying about. I mean, yeah, better not to have any, but you’re bound to waste more during any random spillage or accidental excess.

I’m just saying if you want to keep it out, keep it out. If you want to keep it in, keep it in. You won’t become ill if you accidentally…

It’s really just a matter of the hassle of filtering off the mold, there is no real spoilage. I know how expensive it is. I’ve recently started keeping it in the fridge again, so I mainly agree.
