You're then assuming everyone's engines are competitive. If Merc dominates the engine category and nobody can fight back with aero excellence then the series will be even less exciting while Nico and Ham have a gentle Sunday cruise to victory week after week.

Why would it be so hard? There are emulators for original nintendo games, why would it be so far fetched that a future computer could not emulate a simple ECU from a 2009 Avenger?

I wonder how long ago people were complaining about “over-reaching government” mandating seat belt use...

Have you been to Indiana? I think we should sell it to the highest bidder to raise money for healthcare or a new racetrack or something, or you know, something reasonable like a bag of pistachios.

The "results" paragraph was a little light. How "mass" was the mass exodus? Why did they leave if they weren't dependent on commission? What was the customer service outcome? Any experiences from actual customers leaving satisfied? How did their prices compare to other dealers'?

Did they change the front at all?

It's like if your worst enemy went to the courthouse, changed his name from Bill to John and you kept screaming "BITE ME BILL".

It's "Ally" now.

I don't think Jesus ever had a driver's license, so he wouldn't have to worry about that anyways.

Hotcakes sell like Toyotas, there is a direct scientific correlation.

At one point Lexus wasn't a major player either, but surely you would put them above Cadillac at this point. Everyone starts somewhere, and it is easy to say that "it isn't going to work", but few people recognize actions that might actually work in the long run. Think about pre-art+science Cadillac and tell me they…

I get the joke, this just left a sour taste after that delicious article :)

Toyotas sell like hotcakes to people who couldn’t care less. In a junkyard stuff just sits around.

On the flip side, this has probably given them more press in a few days than they’ve had in the last decade.

If you only look at the US market, however, you'll see the opposite story. VW has tailored vehicles to the US market just like Toyota has, but they did it much less successfully than Toyota. Personally I would like to see more of the European VWs here because they look to be much nicer cars.

Another fine example of how Toyota has not "VWed" itself.

Static line jumping can lead to death even if there are no trees. In the two non-training jumps I did we had a broken neck and fatality, among other injuries.

I like it so much less now :(

I'm left handed and shake with the right. Writing and shaking are related about like apples and dog shit.
