The biggest issue is if it was everyone or just some people. If it’s just some people then everyone who didn’t get more by error is going to be pretty salty if those who got the extra keep it.

Also because bonuses have higher withholding the only viable ‘repayment’ is deduction from future bonuses.

Practically any other product not a vehicle sold through a dealer or retailer is priced at MSRP or lower determined by how competitive the retail market is for the product and it’s the same price for anyone who walks in the door. The problem with cars is that everyone has to work a deal individually. I get that cars…

In that condition with california blue plates yeah $6K is about what a dealership would ask for this car even 5 years ago. They get any old car you don’t see anymore because people used them up and threw them away or because they were just plain crap or both they throw it on the lot with some nutty price on it. They…

It’s not all that unusual to see some random old car on a dealer lot, even unpopular ones. It’s not a frequent event but it happens enough that it’s not due to the current situation. My oldest car isn’t something a lot of people like but in the various groups for it I follow people post examples that have turned up at…

I haven’t seen street outlaws in years, didn’t even know it was still on the air. But generally speaking the cars on show seem to be properly equipped with roll cages and they wear safety gear. It might have missed some detail here or there but the bigger issue is they are doing this on some closed off street under…

The crab fishing people did that before the cameras showed up and continue to do it after they left.

yep, if they wanted to sell half or a quarter as many cars at some greater level per sale profit they could simply raise the prices until they only had as many buyers as they wanted. Maybe they are scared of going to the price point where they don’t sell less cars but it falls off the cliff and they sell no cars.

GM and Ford and any other automaker can prevent this by producing vehicles to meet demand. Sure there things like CAFE law are in the way but lobbying can fix that if they really wanted to. They could also build offsetting vehicles. Their supply chain blunders can also be fixed if they really wanted to.

For that Ford has to get its factory order delivery time back to where it was in the 1990s. But dealers will still stick the screws to buyers on orders because of their precious allocation. On some cars they may intend to order it such that they can get the biggest profit rather than what you want so the dealer may…

Ford has made ‘dealer rewards’ cars for 25 years or more. Special mustangs and more artificially limited (beyond what CAFE might dictate) such that dealers can tack on huge premiums. IMO by doing that Ford created this monster. They encouraged it so many times over so many years that of course dealers would react to…

Ford and GM are ultimately limited on performance cars they can build due to CAFE. They won’t build more than their CAFE numbers can handle. Now Porsche because of their product mix can just pass on the CAFE penalty costs. Ford and GM can’t.

Of course. States can agree to more things too. They certainly will agree to share tax by mile data so they tax out of state motorists. And given that politicians LOVE to tax travelers (since visitors can’t vote them out of office) we could see prohibitively expensive rates for out state motorists.

Logical fallacies and insults are not arguments. But in doing so you’ve proven my point that this website is not one for automobile enthusiasts, but a political website for democrat followers who equate limiting, controlling, and making private motoring very expensive with progress.

Back what up? That this website hasn’t found a new urbanist talking point it objects to? That this website pushes every new regulation, restriction, etc and so put out in the name of ‘fighting climate change’? When has this website ever objected to CAFE that makes things like enthusiast cars difficult to offer and has…

Your handle makes my case regarding this website’s bent.
Anyway you should go study the history of how the automobile was used to take away the right of freely traveling by common conveyance bit by bit. How a right became a privilege and how that privilege is being taken away and this website supports the vast…

This website has been gushing over tax by mile, car free zones, congestion taxes, ‘self driving’ cars, anything to limit motoring to fight ‘climate change’, and everything that is the direct opposite of their motto for years. They even employed a writer from streetsblog (a new urbanist anti-automobile website) for…

It’s not an analogy, it’s example of how state barriers are already broken down. You can buy something tax free in another state and the state you live in taxes it so you better pay up if that item ever enters the state you live in. They just call it a use tax rather than a sales tax. The convoluted logic by which…

There are already laws that allow for the prosecution of people for what they do in other countries regardless of the legality there. Often through some convoluted tortured logic to bring the crime within the USA or by making some kind of reporting requirement etc. Mostly related to financial and sexual activities.…

I wrote penalize and they very much do and can.

You can be penalized in your home state for a traffic violation in another state.

Anyway these united states was replaced with the united states a long time ago. For those who had any delusions Abe Lincoln settled the matter.
