And there is no chance that anything will fall out of 1.3 million of them because the only thing that they haul is fragile masculinity.

Lawrence, I won’t pretend to know the depth, or breadth of the problems at Lucid, but this one line is more potent than anything else you wrote, and to me indicative of their cultural problems. If I learned nothing more about Lucid, I could make every interpretation of how they can fix their culture overnight. This…

True but a $50k SUV is totally different than a almost $200k Lucid. At least IMO, someone in the market for a $200k car is probably not all of a sudden NOT going to be in the market car.  That siad thing’s happen, maybe they had a great paying job and lost it.  But at a certain price point some cars are not a this OR…

If I couldn’t afford a Lucid at the moment, and I then got 14 calls trying to make me change my mind, my mind would be that I would never buy a Lucid for the rest of my life, and that I would work very hard to make sure that no one I know would ever buy one either.

“Coilovers” - how to say “I’m immature and have poor judgement” without saying “I’m immature and have poor judgement” especially in a northern climate. Those BBS style wheels are tasty, though.

I can absolutely picture this weaving through traffic at 90 on the Parkway.

agreed. he was fine as a reviewer when I first subscribed, but now he’s fully on the ‘auto influencer’ bandwagon which I find vaguely insufferable. 

I decided that watching 13+ minutes of video for a 12 second drag race wasn't worth it.

Can they actually build enough of the prime to be meaningful? The RAV4 Prime is STILL unobtanium. 

How well does an intercooler work with all the fins smashed flat like that? Also the “cold air intake” mod is now hot turbo air intake. It needs an airbox. Also fart can. That thing looks like it used to house a few pounds of Columbia coffee.

I can’t see how any auto maker would pay to advertise on a platform owned by a competitor. Besides, the only people on twitter are millionaires, billionaires, and politicians and the journalists and fanboys that follow them.

$70k gets you a lot of Acura MDX.

You know, for being so pro free speech, I find it very interesting how Republicans immediately want to shut other people up when they have different opinions than theirs. 

Damn, why didn’t we all just inherit emerald mine money so we could buy an existing company and sue the founders so they’d also have to legally call me a founder? Then we could claim the success of the company as our own and people on the internet would believe we pushed the industry ahead by a decade.

This, so much this and a side of fries.   The toyota allocation system and total lack of ability to order a vehicle, in the trim, and with the options you want is a maddening nightmare that has only been truly exposed for what it is with the shortages of supply.   Why toyota insists on making geting the product you…

The reason that leasing doesn’t work right now is because it’s a dumb play. We all know: in a lease you pay for the expected depreciation + interest on the money. But right now cars aren’t depreciating nearly as rapidly as they have in years past.... but lease payments are even higher.

A friend of mine recently tried…

Yes, like the dealer websites that list every car with “Call for Price.” Nope, not even going to bother with your dealershit. 

These are actually pretty heavy for what they are. That’s several hundred pounds more than a contemporary c6 corvette. Love the gated shifter, but a c6 z would be half the price and considerably faster. Plus, this particular example just screams “negligent owner.”

That friendly window decal is an extremely efficient way to let everyone know “I’m an absolute douche lord” without having to say “I’m an absolute douche lord."

The effort put into the photography and presentation of the car is maddening.
