I think you forgot the “/s” at the end of your post, at least… I hope you did…

its really amazing how many people think changing the font to white just removes text from a pdf

The more I think about it, the less I’m enamored with the argument that automakers should sell cheap cars. Dealers do sell cheap cars: they’re used. Cars today are well built and designed to last over 150,000 miles (could argue over 200k) In the 70's or 80's this was not the case, where 100,000 miles was closer to the…

Cars have reached a level of quality where buying a 3 year old mid range car is at least competitive with buying a new econobox.

I see a lot of comments assuming this means they are eliminating cheaper models. This is NOT what they are saying. They are saying that they will adjust inventories to match consumer demand.

Barra added the No. 1 U.S. automaker was focused on maximizing production of high-demand vehicles

The American automakers have never known how to build a good cheap car. This won’t spread to the “import" brands because they've always known how to build a good but cheap car. This is just GM's executives giving up on a problem that no one in their company has been able to solve for decades.

I think the people who say all manuals are better may have only driven Hondas and Mazdas. Not all manuals are good. Nissans and Mercedes manuals are among the least satisfying to operate.

but the urus has 10mph more top speed, who cares about cargo in a SUV, top speed is what matters

While Ford needs to do something to make sure the seatbelt is engaged, and fix that weight sensor — it definitely needs to be noted that the system was still likely active because it was “seeing” an active driver. There are cameras in the car that monitor the drivers eyes, even through the sunglasses, and that the…

Frunk you Jason. Make them give you a brand new truck to be quiet.

Apprenticeships still exist. Companies are training. There is a fair amount of manufacturing in my area, and I see the signs and ads. What isn’t happening anymore in a lot of places is there are no Industrial Arts in high schools anymore. You’re either fully committed to the college path and take those courses, or…

Except that it’s $50k I really want one of these.

Exactly and a great example as well of another field where the employers are trying to drive down wages and then complain about employee shortages so they can bring in H1-Bs and drive down wages further.

Yup. I’m a highly paid IT engineer. I like to say I’m not overqualified for any job, as long as you’re willing to pay me to do it. I’ll sweep the floors or clean the bathrooms if you want me to, but I’m not gonna do it for less than my current salary.

Erik ShillingAnd please tell me exactly how many F1 races you () have done?

Yep. It was “the same cost as a regular roof! (If you stay here for the entire projected product life, it never incurs repair costs and electricity rates only go up. Also, we grossly overestimated the price of conventional roofing.)“
