the fastest sneeze ever recorded in a laboratory was 103mph, so looks like they might have outrun the virus.

Last time I looked it was illegal to go over posted speed limits.  Fuck these guys. Driving from the absolute worst center of this pandemic through the entire country.

Three guys leaving the country’s worst-infected spot to do something highly likely to get themselves and others hospitalized is pretty irresponsible.

“If literally one thing goes wrong—if the team needs to call for help or a tow truck, if they get stopped, if they crash—literally anything goes wrong here and these guys would be pulling resources from an otherwise already overloaded system, not to mention potentially increasing the risk of contracting coronavirus by…

I am a language teacher, and “travel agent” has become one of those anachronistic terms left in textbooks that I have to explain to kids then ignore/work around.

Better for the environment too if there aren’t 12 people standing around chain smoking and littering coffee cups in every dealership across the world.

In a time of social distancing you call for more public transit?

Two people in a tight spot with regard to personal transportation do not equate to a widespread crisis. Eleven thousand dead is a widespread crisis.

Came here to say this. PA is beyond backasswards in many regards to official legal documents. FFS, you can’t buy a car on a Sunday; dealer or private party. You can’t even discuss car sales with a dealer representative on a Sunday.* You need (to pay) a notary to witness the title signing for a private party sale. It’s…

Look, you can write nuanced headlines, or you can make enough money to survive.  You cannot do both.

I’m 100% with you. The irony here is that many of these same dealers and states who are getting screwed by needing a “wet signature” and struggling to sell cars in this environment are the exact organizations/states who fought Tesla’s dealer/distribution model tooth and nail. To them I say: Adapt or die. Fighting…

Because it is a large amount of money in an industry without a sterling reputation for forthright dealing.

I understand that the 2 most expensive things an average family buys are cars and homes but the fact is that you have to haggle for the price for these just sucks. I don’t haggle with best buy on computers and refrigerators. there is some relationship with haggling over prices and the prices increasing faster than…

and NO HAGGLE PRICING!!!!!!

yes, I hate that it takes 2 hrs to buy a car at a dealership including the mandatory office to upgrade and upsell you on stuff.

Maybe after all this is over, we’ll collectively agree that we should have been ordering direct from factory all along. Cars are essential (to an extent). Dealerships are the opposite of essential. Never re-open these dealerships again.

Usually I’m scornful of people saying “But MY favourite activity is essential, the lockdown shouldn’t apply to me!”.

I sure hope this pandemic pushes dealers to ditch their sales model. Having a customer go to the dealership before they talk numbers just doesn’t work.

“I think there’s no reason in the world we shouldn’t be open for sales. It’s a necessity,”...

People who do tough dirty work for a living NEED a chrome-plated, $57,000 Sierra HD? Hmmmmm
