That’s not what I’m saying, and you’re not understanding me. Dre was mocking people that bribed officials, faked testing data, and falsified documents. Dre was mocking people that broke the law.

I’m not contesting that he donated that money. I’m contesting that he donated that money specifically and singularly to “get his progeny into school.” Again, he didn’t break any laws to get his child into school. This is WHOLLY different than someone breaking the law.
As a Mazda3 owner, it’s always fun to determine how to say the car. Is it like when saying Honda Civic? Because if you do that, it’s the Mazda Mazda3, which is pointless. And then on the various forums and Facebook groups. So many people just shorten it to M3, but it’s like dude, you can’t say that. M3 means something…
Nah. You’re comparing the base GS, with the crappy Dodge Neon motor, which started at $15k. But even if you got “just” the fwd GS-T, which was nearly identical to the GSX except for awd, it was still $23k for the fwd car. So adding awd was more like $2k to a $23k car.
He didn’t give “a shared $70 mil to get his future progeny into USC”. He’s a philanthropist. He gives to causes that he deems worthwhile. He gave $70 freaking million, way more than if he were just trying to buy in. He also donated $10 million to Compton High School, so by your own logic, is he trying to cement entry…
Dre didn’t cheat the system. He didn’t break any laws. That’s what you seem to be missing with this whole crusade against him.
A 2 week notice is a professional courtesy. And companies are providing that in many cases, or at least severance, outplacement services, unemployment, etc.
Edit: I said $150 million was an investment into the Lordstown plant. It was $350 million invested in the plant, and $150 million to make the Cruze legal to sell in the US
Yeah, I read your post, the one that made it VERY clear that you don’t even have a basic understanding of the situation. Just because both plants make the Cruze doesn’t mean that both plants are equally capable. Just because I call my cardiologist’s office, and the doctor picks up the phone instead of the…
No, I’m acting like GM already has their plan in place, and they’re looking at the market shaking their heads, not believing that Americans are once again abandoning cars for trucks/SUVs/crossovers in droves. You seem to be confusing how this works. GM reacts to market forces, they don’t create them.
Assembling a new vehicle at the plant isn’t like ordering a value meal at McDonalds and changing your mind at the last second to change your order right before you pay.
Except that you need the materials to MAKE these cars that nobody wants. No one wants a Cruze at its current prices. So if the cost goes up by 15% to manufacture it because of tariffs, then guess what? You take a razor thin profit margin car and now you’re REALLY underwater. If tariffs were reduced and GM could…
Dealers don’t do that anyway. They paint with broad brushes. They’re in the business of replacing huge parts, for various reasons. I’ve had dealers want to replace $700+ parts that I’ve replaced just a sub-component without issue. Even a Toyota dealer with a Camry, or a Ford dealer with an Explorer, for example, if…
Good luck with your transmission, fellow Miata owner!
As a Miata owner, the ND has had its fair share of issues as well. The transmissions problem might be overblown, but it’s real. Be careful when throwing stones in glass houses.
Doesn’t matter. Cyclists are legally traffic, and it’s in their best interest to properly act like traffic instead of giving an opportunity for an ignorant driver to try to pass one as they would a pedestrian.
Dude, Occam’s razor. Come on. Be real.
And back to the ad hominem. Yeah, I’m a fucking genius that I’m not deliberately keeping myself poor and committing financial suicide. Who was going to give me an honorary doctorate for this again? I forget, was it Harvard or Columbia?
I was refuting your statement that the tires being bald implied anything. While it was not absolutely brand new off of the lot, it’s newer than the average age of vehicle in America. She is driving too much vehicle, full stop, bar none. She’s living above her means.
Ah, the ad hominem! Yeah, kind of hard to argue with the fact that she’s sitting right in front of her truck in the photo. Guess you gotta resort to attacking me, since it’s obvious that she’s living like a $30,000 millionaire.
