now it all makes sense. They made this SUV to pay homage to that SUV with no utility.

If I recall, most Solaras were bought by people with only a year or two left to live. 

The best option, if it’s financially feasible, is to get a two year lease on a brand new Mustang Convertible. I can guarantee that the payments will be about the same as buying a car for $25K plus (not to sound insensitive), when she’s gone, Ford can just take the car back. No hassle in trying to sell and you can do…

Why not a Wrangler?

Wait, he doesn’t even own one? Jesus. I still think the craziest Tesla fans are the ones that have never had one of their cars. I have a Model 3, and it’s fantastic, especially for the price, but it’s definitely not infallible, and neither is the company.

but the fact that he’s driving around in a passat wishing he had a tesla is just really sad sad shit.

You can not reason a man out of a position he did not reason himself into.

Wait whut? “Ford’s build quality of EV’s is basically non existent” That’s an interesting spin when you link an article purely addressing software issues on a VW.

More lucky bastards that love thier jobs.

There’s a certain beauty to the driver’s complete dedication to pursuing a catastrophically wrong course of action.

This makes Long Way Up on the Livewires look even more silly that it already was. Any chance at a do-over using these instead?

I’m glad you we finally got video of how the Suez Canal got blocked.

Worked at a Uhaul around the corner from a Burger King for about 6 months. Over a dozen times in that period one of our trucks was driven into the drive through roof. Even after they put up the giant bar at the start of the drive through. They would hit that, keep going, and get stuck under the roof. About 1/2 of them…

Ding ding ding I think we have a winner.  So many people are just plain stupid it’s scary.  Gotta love our fine education system in the US!

Pfft. If I don’t have to idle it in my driveway for 25 minutes before going on a roadtrip, I don’t want it.

The 3rd generation Lotus Elise, you know, the one the US doesn’t get:

While the expensive answers are the most obvious (911 by Singer), I’m going with something more pedestrian. The Mk. VII Volkswagen GTI. The GTI is “for the money” the hands down best interior on the market. The brushed stainless steel, carbon fiber, and leather might sometimes be imitation but you just don’t care…

This is why someone scored tickets to the World Cup FIFA games in 2018...

Excellent summary. As too often happens, many people just don’t realize how complex and fragile supply chains are.

Have you ever gone to a rally? Outside of the works teams it’s full of amateur rich guys (not all of them old) just having fun doing their hobby.
