+1 Blackwater interrogation

How does one go about insuring one-off cars like this? How do insurance companies source and value replacement parts which are essentially bespoke?

But it doesn’t place different weights on different complaints. A bad fit and finish is not the same thing as “screen reloads too slow.” Neither are expectations based on vehicle price. If JDP incorporated these different variables rather than just a straight measure across all price points and segments, I’d give it…

Ah, the Detroit Lions Way

Ding ding ding...you just hit the nail on the head as to why that JD Power poll doesn’t nearly tell the whole story

With COVID lockdowns and WFH the last few months, I’ve only gotten gas once since February.  Short trips here and there are all under electric only.

30 miles advertised.  With real world use and not hypermiling, you’ll be lucky to get 24.  Source: own a Pacifica Hybrid with the exact same advertised electric-only range

I always wondered about the Batmobile - in today’s day and age, as soon as Bats showed up somewhere, you’d have TMZ or any hundreds of cell phone video documenting every part of that car.  Perhaps trailing him back to the Batcave or thereabouts - “it always seems to lose us in and around the Wayne Estate property.” …

Ok, we get it Jason, you’re popular. Quit rubbing it in.

Seems like a lot of wasted screen space - a big color block with the speed displayed in one corner.  Surely they could have better utilized the real estate?

Are you saying DB Cooper is actually the friends we made along the way?

I guess the more options the merrier, but I agree - once you learn how to shift stick it becomes second nature.  They say that it helps with driving distractions, but I ended up still drinking coffee and using my phone inappropriately in a stick shift car.  It’s not hard.

Yes, the purchase investment will just come out of the total value when he does exercise the option and sell the stocks.

Can we also kill the “You all....” titles?  “You all killed manual cars”, “You all bought too many trucks”, etc etc.  Shilling is terrible at doing these.

They like their Manly Men™ at FCA. See also: Reid Bigland, formerly head of Ram.

I laughed at the “remaining factory warranty.” Every FCA service dept will laugh you out of their bay if you tried to claim a warranty repair.

I didn’t buy Tesla when it hit a valley in March due to COVID, and when it got up to $980 I said wtf, bought two shares.  I knew it was a dummy move but it was more for fun - and it keeps going up.  Will it go up more?  Down?  Crash?  Who the fuck knows - but it keeps it interesting

It’s like owning a pool vs using one.  My friends are all selfishly not letting us use their pools while the HOA pool is closed for COVID.  I’ll pay for that day’s chlorine treatment!

^this. I question how many transactions are actually done in a boiler room/stock floor or Axe Capital type environment, rather than a generic office with a ton of computers.

Adblock doesn’t even work properly anymore.  My favorite one Adblock Plus started freezing up my Chrome connectivity last week.  Had to shut it off
