Ah yes, the younger crowd, the ones who could just about afford a used C5. Yes, this will surely be a smashing sales success!

He’d better have that financing available or he’s going to jail for stock manipulation.

I have a sneaking suspicion it can be Chinese, Norwegian and Saudi sovereign fund money. Who else has $60 billion and shit for brains lying around? Apple and Google are not stupid enough to touch Tesla at that valuation with a 10ft pole.

Just get whatever’s free and wrap it anything you like. Bonus is it protects the paint anyway and you can be a bit more adventurous with the color without worrying about resale value (bright yellow Volvo wagon anyone?)

I love my car’s color but I regret not going this route since I could’ve had something unique. 

People are always surprised to see the manual in my Mazda5. I’m not working as an engineer these days, but I am not at all surprised by this common trait that we engineer types tend to share.

I can vouch for this as well, stick shifts are greatly over represented among myself and the other engineers at work. 

Speaking as an engineer, I think it’s the engineers keeping them around (maybe that’s an exaggeration).

You’re talking about Musk, right? ‘Cause he famously promised “20K cars month by last December”. 500K cars in 2017. “the SAfest cars in the world, even as those cars dive into cement walls and kill people”.

Change the damn coolant.

As somebody that exclusively buys high-mileage BMW’s with zero service records (because I’m cheap and can’t afford nice enthusiast-owned cars), here’s what I do immediately after buying a car:

Because the 2JZ is a Toyota motor, bullet proof, and beautiful. As it is, you’re buying a car with notoriously finicky German underpinnings, thereby giving up one of the best things about owning a Toyota.

An electric car drifting is about as exciting as a Chevy Spark having a sport mode: yea it’s cool that it can do it. But what’s the point? Especially if there’s no engine noise.

This.  

I would have done the same if it was my kid in that car.

Dad take: WORTH IT.

Why is a CEO even corresponding directly with a technician in one of his plants? I mean, how many layers of management are there between the two that they’re bypassing?

Where I live, the solution is simple: Lights on, always.

Headlight switches.

You getting it now? Don’t let your snobbery towards the concept of social media make you look like a fool any further.
