It had the unfortunate ability to appeal to people with the absolute worst taste, and fervent need to express it.

Ford to Car salesmen: Here are limited allocations for a hot product. You can even prioritize some of them to make them more valuable.

Don’t they need to finish the game first? A month after release, they finally patched about a quarter of the issues. There is still a huge list of things they still need to fix.

For those wondering about dimensions and such:

“Qianjiang... the Chinese bike maker behind Benelli and QJ Motor.”

“Middleweight... weighs 484 pounds dry”
So we’re talking about the retired middleweight that has opened a restaurant and let himself go.

Basically, a bunch of numbskulls plugging this into their portable charger packs before a hurricane. Akin to the plastic bag gas,

The Toyota BeeZ-ForX! Coming to a dealer near you.

But they do most likely get a load of grief from NADA for not prioritizing their stock. Granger is one of the few car dealers that would ever have a bunch of customers energetically celebrate and defend them.

Could be younger buyers. My eldest has been an authorized user on my cards (but never got to use them)for almost a decade. When he hit 18, his score was close to 750. A teenage boy is still a risky borrower, so I’d expect higher rates for him when he starts that mess.

You forgot the Bronco. That’s been a shit-show to rival them all.

Way off base on the Granger part. Read that part again. Granger is where everyone has flocked to for being transparent and giving the best price.

There’s a social media campaign of customers trying to get Ford to stop screwing Granger’s allocations. Granger is the exact opposite of DCH

Or that they have all of the leverage (because Ford lowered the name match requirement), and want the vehicle to mark up even more than the 10k they tried to get out of him. Dealers are adding $30k in some cases.

Nah, Ford has tried to quietly change the allocation structure so their bigger dealers can get stock before filling reservations at smaller ones. This will arrive on lots before some Day 1 reservations.

Any chance we’ll see some reporting on the current mess that is Bronco Reservations vs Allocations?

Wait, KIA? I thought this was sponsored by Nine Inch Nails. I guess Kia makes more sense than that.

It’s just me and my youngest son, but I swear by the minivan. I just hauled a bunch of material for putting up a fence while my son enjoyed Netflix (roku hooked up) in his seat. The rest of the seats folded flat; carrying posts, wire fence, concrete, and assorted hardware for the project. All without worrying about a…

I hope the workers get their due. That said, UAW is such a poison pill for my perception of every story now. Will this strike benefit workers, or will the leadership reap the benefits in kickbacks. I would also assume that the last bad deal made on behalf of the workers benefitted the account balances for a few UAW…

Well, that’s disappointing. The original story was a heart-warming tale of the trash taking itself out. Turns it’s just a bunch of complaining Karens-in-blue.

“It’s not squirrely, which is something I can’t say about the four-cylinder Supra, sadly. At least, with me (and to be clear: I’m not an experienced track driver) at the wheel, the 2.0 inline-four Supra loves to swing its back end around whether you want it to or not. I’d gladly take the 86 over it, and save myself a…
