What you see here hinges on whether you believe that “Make America Great Again” is a dog whistle meant to unite racists, misogynists, and homophobes under one umbrella, or you’re delusional and don’t care about people who aren’t white men.

The door is powered, no awkwardness or stretching to get it opened or closed.

Yes, suicide doors are intended for the chauffeured.

Cadillac! Hey, Cadillac! It’s your cousin, Lincoln! You know that profit margin you were looking for?! Well...

That’s actually a lot of car for $110,000.

Almost no EV will work for you, unless you have DC fast charging at home.

Maybe, but some of us have kids.

If everyone bought the car they needed, we’d all be driving Honda Fits. 

Makes sense, but also keep in mind this is a market that thinks they need to own a truck for the two times a year they actually need a bed.

If you buy an EV to go road tripping today you need to get your head checked.”

When run-of-the-mill EVs work seamlessly for both commuting and road trips, we’ll see the electric car revolution. Until then, not so much.

People complaining about charge times need to think about this a bit, You’re not using 300 miles a day. All you need to do is put back what you use each day and you don’t NEED super fast charging. If you buy an EV to go road tripping today you need to get your head checked.

TRUTH. And don’t put a front licence plate on by default in states where they aren’t required. Had the front bumper of both my Fiesta and my Mustang ruined by the dealers.  I lived in PA - no front plate required.  F you and your dealer vanity plate and surround.

I want a dealer that will either remove (or preferably not install) the dealer badges. I’m spending $X thousands with you, you don’t get free advertising on the back of my car. Also, they look like shit. 

Passed away? More like was murdered by a czech crime boss in South Africa.

Compared to some earlier Gemballa Porsches this is very mild. Uwe passed away couple of years ago so maybe he took the craziest ideas with him?

Oh, man, if only colloquial expression and hyperbole existed. Well, since it doesn’t, I guess you’ll have to take everything literally for the rest of your life. 

Look, I was done with the “we go high” bullshit after November 2016. But if you want to truly talk about moments so absurd that they should radicalize you? Well, this should be one of them.

It’s amazing that there’s already backlash to the backlash of this. “He’s just a kid! Who among you didn’t do something stupid as a teenager?”
