Thanks, we like to say that what we do is the most fun you’ll have in procurement.

This crap only works because people won’t stand up to it. It’s so frustrating. I’m in a tangentially related industry, Tom. We do sourcing and reverse auction pricing for municipalities and large companies. We’ve bought everything from mayonnaise, to disposable shoes for prisoners, to fleet vehicles. There is one…

This is almost exactly my second car, a 1983 Rabbit convertible. Mine had a tan top and cloth seats (that were constantly soaked) though. It was fun. I wouldn’t say I miss it.

I’m with you, but I have slept in an airport twice. On both occasions we arrived some time after midnight and only to be scheduled on a flight at some ungodly hour of the morning the next day. In those circumstances, the time it takes to identify a hotel room (on-airport is probably full because of the delays), get a…

Wait, who is lazy in this scenario? The person trying to feed their family, or the corporation who has done the math down to the penny and knows that hiring the temp worker full time will cost them profits?

Meanwhile Indian built a modern sport naked bike with a 73 CID V-twin that makes legitimate power, has nice, modern features, and it’s selling like hot cakes.

Gotta consider the context of the statement:

Ah, ok. Yes, WiFi calling was off.

Used prices on these are starting to approach sensible territory. Then again, it’s a mid-engine Alfa, so I probably shouldn’t be throwing around the word sensible here. There’s 13k mile 2015 near me selling for just under $40k. The problem for the 4C is the four 2015 (or newer) Porsche Caymans available at the same…

Ever notice how the separated couples always seem to ask to switch so they can sit next to their partner in 14C and never with the one in 35F?

I don’t see how that differs from what I said, but OK.

Agree and disagree. When comparing by model count, sure, but when you look at sales, there’s a very clear trend here. The loss of car sales is being more than made up for by CUV/SUV sales. BMW are fighting the good fight, but the hoard are clamoring for more carnage.

You’ve got to look at it from both sides of the equations. You can’t simply give the companies a pass, and the same for the employees. The key issue with Uber and Lyft’s practices is that they treat their drivers as contractors, but the framework in which they do so fails a critical test: contractors must be able to…

Jokes on you, I’m buying the Rolls.

Likely scenario addenda: driver likely to receive rage-filled ass-reaming from spouse.

I think the Evora is incredible (I couldn’t believe how small it was in person), but you have to see the humor in someone going from a Fiat to Lotus for reliability reasons.

He also rides a Triumph Tiger! You’re welcome to hang out any time!

Yeah, I went out of my way to make up a story about my buddy who went from a Fiat to a used Evora S 🙄

I have a buddy who had a 500 Abarth. He loved it, and it sounded so incredible. It’s the kind of car that makes you giggle at every turn.

The EV market is growing and a rising tide lifts all boats so to say.
