Came here to say this. This deserves all the stars.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the 1978-1985 Oldsmobile 350 Diesel.

That’s a troubled bridge over water.

I posted that too. This is all true:

Nissan Altima. I don’t know how it came to be the go-to car for shitty drivers, but whenever I see one in my peripheral vision I know I’m about to get cut off.

My husband is a big bearded dude who drives a SuperCrew F-350 with a capper (he’s a contractor). Everyone pegs him as a RWNJ on site and it’s alarming the kind of (ignorant, racist, conspiracy theory, etc.) stuff people feel comfortable saying to him as a result.

Not sure who said it, but “if Thomas Edison had an MBA we’d all have bigger candles” probably applies to the relative worth of MBA’s running companies.

MBAs think everyone else’s job is easy.

I worked at a shipyard owned by General Dynamics and when we went on strike in the 1980's, the company did the same thing. A desk worker overloaded a crane and died in the accident. I don’t believe anyone was under the crane when it fell, it could have been worse.

But imagine how high the quality of the finished product will be! It’s being made by senior staff, so it must be better, right?

It takes truly insane management brain to think you can just take person with a desk job and put them on an actual production floor and not have it be a monumental disaster.

Anything is easy to steal if the rewards are high enough. The reason most cars are “hard” to steal is that the rewards for doing so aren’t worth the cost of replacing the busted window if it is locked. Car theft falls into two categories, high volume-low margins, where it is just the low hanging fruit that is stolen;…

Wheeler Dealers never included labor in their “profit”! At a minimum of $100/hr, they were upside down on every car.

FYI... we’re in the market for a new house.

I think I speak for everyone here when I say how much I hate the working class. If you have a mattress on the floor of your childhood friend Steve’s basement, a glass of water, and a bowl of oatmeal, you’re practically middle class.

I bet Tesla is going to come out and say the roadster’s top speed is 420mph

An Engineer (me): Yeah, yeah 335/316mph, uh huh, uh huh, ok...what about the tires, did they use specially engineered compounds...I’m assuming they just didn’t use an off the shelf street tire and crossed fingers...maybe talked to Bugatti’s supplier, etc...I NEED to know.  It tends to be the least appreciated aspect…

Sorry, but there is ZERO reason that stay should be anywhere NEAR 1 million. For 1 million I could hire 4 drs to work shifts at my house 24/7 for 4 months and have plenty of money left over for a breathing machine. 

the article explains the market pretty well, you’re clearly not it. 

There’s a lesson here about our constant need for the next shiny new thing. Especially for us car enthusiasts.
