For what it’s worth, he thought it was a fun adventure.

That’s pretty resourceful!

I was gonna write and complain about you taking a kid anywhere in a Yugo. But then, kids need to learn what the world was like before digital everything. A life lesson is worth way more than two hose clamps and potential for a long wait in the cold for a mom rescue to show up.

Kid was driving the Ford Transit and the shifter came apart much like the Yugo. Wife goes to rescue him in the only car she had that day the BMW 850. She quickly figures out that the shifter is not working and googles it and gets to the #1 hit on Youtube which is stick you hand into the engine compartment up to your…

There is a huge amount of betting going on within stock markets. When you buy a stock you’re betting that the company’s products or services are good enough long term to increase the value, you’re betting that outside factors such as government intervention or market reorganizations aren’t going to be responsible for…

1st Gear:
The stock market is legal gambling with other people’s money. That’s all it’s ever been. It’s not so much a market as it is a better’s aisle. Though “stock betting aisle” is too many syllables without enough hard consonants to be catchy...

The French really need some more bitchslaps in order to pay…

How does the works council rule deal with new factories and new companies? Does the union just appoint people for the first 6 months? I heard they require labor to make up half the board anyway.

I was going to say,

By buying a Tesla, I’m supporting his antics and contributing to his own delusion that he’s right. Luckily, there are a lot of other options with more on the way. The best thing for Tesla at this point would be for Elon to be gone.

Oh, they think about Musk, otherwise they wouldn’t be so worked up to defend him over CNN piece.

Yet you felt the need to post about it here.....

Shame his tweets show up in the article you just read, huh?

Sure, but if I’m not fan of the band why would I wear their tee shirt, if you know what I mean?

I sorta feel like Musk is synonymous with Tesla to a degree that if I’m driving a car with a “T” badge on it, people are going to assume I’m one of the faithful. It’s the equivalent of putting one of those Christian fish on your car; you’re sending a message about your beliefs.

People like that are a big reason why I won’t buy a Tesla. No other car company requires me to buy into its CEO’s cult of personality in this way. I don’t know ANY of the CEO of Honda’s political opinions, and if he expressed some he wouldn’t expect Honda buyers to dive in front of him to protect him from criticism.

10/10 would rather get killed by the Pao than those other vehicles. Sure, they’re big and tough, but generally not that interesting. ALL Paos are interesting. 

No, I too get feelings for plucky little character oozing runabouts like your Pao.  I also love Hub Nut’s little Citroen 2CV.  I want a 2CV.  I sadly lack space to park one in a place to keep its uber fragile, rust prone little body properly cocooned from the Ohio winters.

So, at night, when I hit it, I couldn’t see where it went or what happened to it at all. It wasn’t until the next morning when I went back that I saw the deer in that ditch.

I’ve felt the pain that comes with a deer getting too up close and personal with one of my cars, in fact it’s happened a few times, and of course I’m glad you’re okay, but that’s not why I’m here.

Well, at least your not known as the only kid in your small farming town who hit a deer on his bike. o_O
