We had the opposite experience with my wife.  It was clear the car was for her, and they always kept the focus on her, sometimes jokingly saying she shouldn’t care what I thought, and I appreciated that.

You know the Price is Right game where they have 6 products and have to put the 6 prices on them, then run back and pull a lever and it says “You have 4 right” and you need to run back and change them around again, all in like 30 seconds? I feel that given an eternity, I could never match Cadillac’s vehicle names to a…

We bought a GLC300 2 years ago. The buying experience was...exciting and enjoyable. We must have gone to the MB dealer 7 or 8 times. Can we see this option? Can we drive it at night? In the rain? Can we see the other white on a sunny day? They were sooooo accommodating and really, REALLY understood the vehicle. (shout…

Honey, I know this boat.

Nearly as much as Secret Service golf cart rental fees as Trump properties, probably.

It’s basically all a version of this.  I for one appreciate idiots self-identifying themselves for the rest of us.

When I saw the headline, I just assumed they were dumped because the post was not racist enough.

And still can’t drive it with the windows down?  Hard pass before, and hard pass still.

Except they are not. Instead, 10,000 stiffs who are mostly blue collars are on the receiving end of the OP’s gloating schadenfreude. The execs will be...slightly less rich, and BP slightly less giant. And I don’t see how BP owes it to build a new Green future for those laid off. Incentivizing Green energy is…

As good a post as any to mention the excellent book “A Savage Factory” about life in a Ford transmission plant in the 70's.  

Excellent headline.

Yep, I live near Harrisburg, PA. The 30 mile stretch either side of the PA/MD border has both a massive collection of amazing back roads for hauling ass...and an amazing/depressing collection of confederate flags flying, these days usually hand in hand with a certain blue flag or sign.

Plenty of Bordt, though.

I live in the countryside so roads are quiet and people are nice. But I’ve lived & ridden in several American cities, big and small, and 1) there is either zero or minimal cycling infrastructure and what there is, is disconnected and leads nowhere, and 2) American cars see bikes as 3rd class citizens...and American…

I hadn’t really thought of tear gas this way before, but an Economist article a few months back talked about how tear gas is dangerous for democracy, as it allows those in power to disperse protests - including peaceful ones - any time they want, thus denying people the right to pressure the government. And because it…

Dominating the skies and the streets!

Give some people a hammer, and a lot of problems suddenly start to look like nails.

Ha!

I can...get on board with this reasonable take. I’ve used the (non-electric) city bikes in Paris a lot and found them very convenient, but they are docked, so they are perhaps all but the last 0.1 mile solution, sometimes you just gotta hoof it. I’m an avid cyclist in the US, and found riding around Paris felt about…

Ha!
