China is very unique in their disgusting food diving at buffet lines or even just taking all the salt packets or condiments that are left out at a fast food restaurant. I think it’s one of the cultural side effects of communism as you can directly compare them to Taiwan, where people are polite and don’t beat on one…

Sun is a drug cheat being supported by a corrupt system. There is a reason fellow competitors don’t acknowledge him.

Not in complete defense of the i3, as I agree it’s a fugly little beast. However, the interior is nice and while it doesn’t have great range, it’s basically the perfect commuter / chore running vehicle. For 90% of Americans, the i3 (non range extended) will accomplish 90% of their driving tasks (getting to work,…

“It will cost $35 billion to put two men on the moon,” Young complained. “It would take $10 billion to lift every poor person in this country above the official poverty standard this year. Something is wrong somewhere.”

Since no one will read this far down into the thread I will leak some insider info that I know because I know people on the inside. Cadillac is releasing an R8 competitor based on the Corvette C8, I even seen photos of it being demo’d to execs. I saw it before the President swap, so I don’t know for certain it is…

Cadillac did not spend enough time re-building their perceived brand value. They put out a couple good models and immediately raised the prices once they got good reviews. Unfortunately, the public didn’t still didn’t see them as on par with BMW-MB-Audi. Then they did their styling change and the cars begun looking…

I’ll take the G70 because I don’t have to deal with a Kia dealer and they will drop off the car at your door.

You have to question if that person’s reaction time was good enough to drive. Mistaking the gas for the brake, sure, I get it. Continuing to press the “brake” for 5 seconds before taking your foot off it and trying something else. That person’s reaction time and ability to make fast decisions is too slow to drive on…

Lack of proper financial education is a bigger issue than a predatory economy. It’s how people sell those “follow my 8 simple rules to get rich” packages. Most people know they don’t know enough to understand how the economy works, but they think they have have a general understanding. However that general…

Having mentored multiple small business owner and new independent contractors, I cannot stress enough how little people understand about cost of doing business and how that relates to billing rate. The number one issue I see is people not charging enough because they
a)Base their rate off of their past salary,…

Guys like this inspire me to do more with my life. Another crazy inspirational dude is Justin who hand bikes multi-stage rides. This would be a hard ride for your average roadie, but he hand bikes it. I think we all get bogged down in our minor deficiencies but these guys just attack rather than let circumstance…

I can’t speak for everyone, but here in the Silicon Valley, there are eGolfs everywhere. I didn’t even know they existed until I moved out here, but they only have 126 miles of range. So maybe an eCooper will encourage people to buy something other than a Tesla, Leaf or eGolf, because I need more variety of vehicles…

Ouch. There is a CPO 2019 i8 roadster currently for sale $119k in Palm Beach. It’s probably a buy back that had a bunch of gremlins or something, but that is a pretty hefty depreciation for only 3000 miles of use. <Edit> I’ll take that back even new they are being discounted 30-40K+, so maybe not as much depreciation…

I would assume it’s comparable to the current GLA45, which put’s it at $54K base and around $65K with basic options (AMG sport exhaust etcetera).

I don’t think this was a good way for Koenigsegg to correct the record. They should have tweeted, “Quick jump on this One:1 before Bonham’s figures out how much it’s really worth”... which would have alerted Koenigsegg’s Saudi clientele, that follow their Twitter page, this auction is coming up and they need to bid…

I started my company when this car came out. This car is old. Sure, they have made many updates, but you could sit this next to the 2009 model and most people would be hard pressed to say which is the newer one without getting in it. I can’t believe Nissan hasn’t done a design refresh, yet thinks people will spend…

I love the idea of a more luxurious compact car as I feel uncomfortable in today’s ever larger luxury cars and SUVs. However, the Mazda3 is a bit problematic as a luxury car, for reasons that no reviewer (that I’ve read) has addressed.

I love that Glickenhaus just kept driving it after the fire was put out. Most collectors would have trailered it and called their Range Rover support vehicle to take them home.

You would think ICE don’t catch fire unless moving: https://katu.com/news/local/no-recall-issued-after-hundreds-of-kia-and-hyundai-vehicles-catch-fire-12-31-2018 but it happens more often than you think.

The Philly refinery was already in financial dire straights before the fire. It just came out of bankruptcy and rumor is it didn’t have cash on hand to meet obligations as it was having to buy credits to offset for not being able to produce blended gas. They just couldn’t compete with cheap Gulf Coast refineries. Unfor…
