This is hardly new. Maybe a garage specific designer is new? However, I don’t think.  Remember Ferris Bueller’s Day Off?

It seemed to work fine for the DeLorean, so there’s that.

People who aren’t rich should stop pretending they are. Live within your means.

Easily. Officer Dumbfuck clearly demonstrated why he’s Officer Dumbfuck.

Before anyone else says it: If you can’t afford cash, you can’t afford it.

I rarely get hit with some sort of CC surcharge, so everyone is paying the same amount I am whether they pay cash or use credit. If I go to a store and there is no CC surcharge, I pay with a CC and you pay with cash I get cash back and you don’t, even though we paid the exact same purchase price. Who wins in that…

“If dealers aren’t willing to give them more than $40,000, where exactly does Ramsey think a buyer will come from that will give them $10,000 over what’s presumably the market value”

I think I’ll write a pun.  I think I’ll call attention to it by apologizing for punning.  What could go wrong?

This dyno measures emotion.

I was gonna say the same. This setup is missing the whole linkage between the engine and the dyno.

So much to unpack in todays shift - yet hardly one car brand mentioned offers any gears in a transmission, or even a transmission at all ;)

“The credits cause companies that don’t have their emissions shit together to pay up more for not having their shit together while rewarding companies that do.”

I think most of this issue has to do with the low volumes of some EVs, rather than the fact that they are EVs. The interviewee points out that they don’t have issues pricing Bolts because they sell in sufficient numbers. Pricing a Rivian R1T is akin to pricing a McLaren 570S. But buyers have the added concern over…

Because it is a forced transfer of money from one company to another for no measureable outcome.  

Wrong. TSLA is a stock pumping ponzi whose BoD allows it’s TechnoKing to make fraudulent claims in order to enrichen himself and his lackadaisical BoD (which lost a lawsuit last year to return $735M in excessive compensation to themselves). The company is a wefare queen that cannot survive without government subsidies…

First Off, Rowan Atkinson is a rather clever chap, unlike several of his characters that rely on physical comedy. I think the closest we have seen the real Rowan through his characters are the various Edmund Blackadders from Blackadder II to IV, though he is likely much less mean than them.

You’ve clearly never run any kind of large operation.

Not when your operating costs are $172B. If next year your revenue goes down by 3%, you’re in the red.

The headline is dumb. $4.3B is only a 2.4% profit. People act like they’re taking the piss, that’s a TINY profit margin. If you were operating your own business that has a revenue of $1M, you’d only make $24k.

Toyota was selling a hybrid in the US a full decade before the Volt.
