My wife managed this with the old Legacy GT-leather, sunroof, big engine, stick. Of course, it was a small fortune, the interior is a little agricultural, and they don’t sell them anymore. Sigh. Sport model cars are your only hope-look at a WRX sedan, if you like a trunk.

It’s important to understand yourself.

Dat snub nose. This is even better than the new Ram vans. I have no idea what I love this. Maybe growing up with a Vanagon?

I rented one recently-not bad, actually. The seats were shockingly well bolstered, the stop-start was noticeable but not an issue, and while the trunk was enormous, the back seat wasn’t as spacious as I expected from that huge a car-but you can always go with an Impala for that, I suppose. The mid-range entertainment…

Well, they are really spacious inside, with a slightly higher seating position and relatively big greenhouse, so it's a nice, airy cabin-not common these days. But yeah, boring.

Corporate culture is absolutely dictated by senior leadership. Look at organizations that exhibit bad culture, and it always starts at the top. You know why? Because if you don’t like how your subordinate is doing their work, it’s really easy to tell them to do it your way. You control their careers, you can say…

The decision the CEO made wasn’t ‘Screw the environment and the EPA’, it was ‘Make the car for $x’ and ‘hitting that target is more important than making the car correctly’. That’s the decision that almost guaranteed caused this cheat, and it was a decision made by or under the CEO, so it’s the CEO’s responsibility.…

This looks like 'max transparency' to you?

I would argue that they DID make that decision already. They ran their company so incompetently that this occurred. That was their decision, and no one else’s. You can’t just shrug and say ‘No one told me!’ at that level. If no one is telling you, you should be asking, and you should be creating a culture at your…

Fair enough. Hope everyone made it out the wreck okay!

Jesus, I'd be pretty furious.

But you’ve never seen a prettier pass than Brandon Wheedon’s!

Yeah, leave it to Nissan to resort to dubstep to liven up a transmission.

Why...why were you putting 93 octane in your Toyota Highlander? All it needs is 87-or are you living outside of North America?

If you want to get into that, McFadden’s YPC numbers are up, higher than he’s gotten since 2011. Randle, who is getting twice as many carries as McFadden, is getting 3.9 YPC, down a lot from his 6.7 YPC last season.

Yes, but in the absence of unions (and their presence in a particular industry) work environments tend to be grim, not weird.

True, sorry.

As opposed to the car companies that went bankrupt? It's a business negotiation-the two sides need to figure it out. Morality will have next to nothing to do with it.

Sucker for all things Holmes, but my wife and I love Bryan Baumer and Income Property-they are a lot lighter fare, but the work is just as interesting.

Here's my toy car
