Can’t wait for the Tiananmen Square Edition Tank.  

I quit reading the instant you compared the share price of one company to another, as if that has any bearing whatsoever on the value of a company or its future.

INVASIVE SPECIES DETECTED

They seem to be straddling this really weird editorial line where personal car ownership should only be shitty vehicles that you buy for less than a $1000, drop a bunch of time and money into, and then never drive into a city. 

Get it so Americans don’t need a car at all.”

Diesel* Electric. That first part is key. Also, fixed routes make it very easy to have the needed fuel (Diesel) available along pre-planned stops.

It does other things!!

And a tip calculaor?

This is exactly what I thought of.

Only 90s kids will remember GM’s Autonomy concept

I died of dysentery.

“Wow, amazing. NONE of the Citroen trucks lasted more than 3,000 miles and they all failed catastrophically! Congrats on the sabotage.”

$5,000 for customized vin but no manual? Why not just charge $5,000 for a manual option? Over the C7's lifespan it had like a 27% take rate.....at $5,000 a pop I think they could have developed one, especially if they are going to stay mid-engined for the C9. Spread the cost over 2 generations.

Well not every story can be about the NY subway system...

I’m autistic and this excites me.

Yeah fuck those investor assholes.  Fuck the California State Teachers’ Retirement System, the New York State Common Retirement Sytem, the Texas Teacher’s Retirement System, etc.  Fuck them right in the ear.

The only thing keeping raccoons from stealing cars is they can’t reach the pedals. Once autonomous cars become widely available expect to see raccoons in cars racing down the highway. Which won’t be half as terrifying as the occasional black bear trapped in a self-driving Subaru, clawing at the doors trying to escape.

“This is what I always thought. Chevy dealers sold Chevy trucks, and Buick-Olds-Pontiac delaers sold GMC trucks. Maybe that was only in Texas?”

I long assumed GMC existed so Pontiac dealerships would have trucks and SUVs to sell, too, so now I assume it’s for Buick dealers to have trucks (though Buick has its own SUVs).
