Ha ha ha. Yeah, I guess I’d be pissed too if someone said the same for vans. Still waiting for my first van purchase. Can’t wait to get an Odyssey.

Hmm, sorry didn’t mean to sound so serious. I was just channeling my inner 17 year old. I had my mom’s Accord in high school, which I named Amy. Then my wife told me her Camry was mine when we got a new car. I’ve had these things foisted on me twice in my short life. It’s like non car lovers shitting on my choices.…

I think people didn’t pay it much attention because what’s the point? They’re probably not going to build it or they will serious screw up the lines when it’s in production. OR they might just trot this thing out to every auto show from now until 2020, build it, and the upstaged by production ready concept from Ford.…

Couldn’t agree with you more. By the way, your uncle can blame the other “farmers” I see in the Fresno area with slammed Harley F150 garage queens. You’ll find most of them hanging out by the golf course after cashing checks from their almonds complaining about having to share water with the fish.

There’s no way anybody bought one because they want it. I’ve never met anyone who couldn’t wait to get the keys to one and neither can you. It’s definitely a rational choice. If they couldn’t wait it’s because it’s their only transportation and ticket to freedom from the high school cafeteria.

I think he’s making a point that there’s never going to be the Camry/Accord in the truck market because nobody buys a truck because they need one. Trust me, nobody wants a Camry/Accord but they are the best selling sedans for a reason. Hell, I’m driving my wife’s Camry that she got from her mom because nobody wants it…

You forgot the part where Sampson says, “And we’re going to make Mexico pay for it”.

Does the suit work if the astronaut’s weight fluctuates? I’d imagine people losing weight during spaceflights due to their mood, crappy food, no gravity, etc.

Yeah but I’m of the mindset that you don’t shit on other people just because you have no spine to fix the problem yourself. It makes no sense to make yourself feel better by crapping on others. Ultimately this comes from the top and most CEOs are puppets that spew business catchphrases.

Yeah couldn’t agree more. I can’t handle these buttons. I always hit the “MODE” button and it switches from my sweet jazz station to the CD player.

Why not just take public transit? Lots of fun stuff to do in the city and the subways are convenient. Just park at the bus stop and you can sleep on the bus too.

I think you made it better. I would buy this.

Would’ve been another $329 off if you deleted one of the side view mirrors. That used to be an option, not sure if companies still do that.

How did he find people dumb enough to help him out? If he was my friend I would’ve just said you’re a moron.

Yeah it’s definitely an afterthought. I was just amused that everybody blames design decisions on the engineers. Designers say we make them compromise because our design is bad. Systems think we’re lazy because we can’t meet their contradiction requirements. Management thinks we’re lazy and wasteful because we can’t…

If you’re telling someone to move to Europe you should figure out where they live. Also why wouldn’t an American media company hire European correspondents? Comes in handy for European press events. At this point I can’t tell if you’re being ironic.

Dude the 90’s Trans Am were really ugly. My friend’s sister had one and it looked so bad even he didn’t want it when it was his turn to inherit the car. Mate’s making the same point that this blog makes about old Fiats and Alfas. 90’s was all about the Japanese sports cars in American and there’s nothing wrong with…

Yeah it’s weird that people like that are the decision makers at most companies. I’m a mechanical engineer but the same applies.

What I never understood is why people like that get to manage anything much less VP?!?!? In my experience they’d rather have someone blow smoke up their ass then to have someone say any of the following:

Liquefied gas terminals are sprouting up through the world. Russia WOULD be the cheapest but disrupting supplies is expensive for the customer. They’d rather pay double than not have it at all. The idea that’s hard for Putin to believe is that yeah Europe would rather pay double if they can afford it and it seems…
