I’m noticing conferences in general are all underperforming. I’ve been to a handful of industry related conferences and trade shows, and pretty much all of them are a ghost town.

Rona was a catalyst for a faster change but things were going in this direction for a while. The internet has made a lot of conventions less relevant. 

Up until a few weeks ago, I worked in the tech industry. ( now in a totally different industry) But anyway, all of the major tech firms have large annual shows meant to highlight their new offerings and attract both customers and current users. Some of these were massive, taking up entire city blocks with 75,000+…

This isn’t a new thing. Auto shows were trending in this direction ever since the invention of the interwebs. Anyone that spent time at the COBO over the last 2 decades could sense it. It’s not sad, just different.

hell with it.  they need to pull a porsche and sell the gt3 model to the public.  or close to one.  

I’m sorry, what?

I disagree. There won’t be a two-door model because 2-doors are fast becoming obsolete.

Why put waste in pits? They want to build on the coast. Just pour it in the ocean, duh. Then it's gone forever and nothing bad will ever happen. 

There’s no profit in oil refineries. It would cost a ton of money to build one, and it would increase the supply, thus lowering prices. Good luck convincing any company to spend a boat load of money to then lower their profits. 

Itv is much more profitable to be able to use refinery capacity -or lack of- as a trigger to cause fuel prices to rise and make more profit as we saw here when the economy reopened

Yeah, I understand how the dealership model has changed (largely by necessity) over the last couple decades and last couple years. When everyone isn’t buying new cars after 3-4 years because 60k miles was a LOT back in the day, it gets harder and harder to build a reputation and make money off of loyalty (same…

Typical clickbait here..  not like the community actually helped him.  That might have made an interesting story.

Wow this site has really gone downhill. 

Sure after they got called out and the whole thing blew up.

“a portion of the net proceeds”...let’s not schedule sainthood. 

Yeah, I’ll need to see a body before I call it dead. People whose buying habits are unaffected by the state of the economy are A. Plentiful and B. Like big cars.
