For a military vehicle-that really isn’t that bad. Of course, that probably doesn’t include all the development costs.

It’s a big assumption-but if contracts keep going up in a linear manner-the end of this contract won’t be all that big of a deal. 

I second that. 

A friend has this exact car with a stick. It’s fun enough to drive while still being pretty practical. My only real complaint is the wind noise on these is far too much for a car at this price point.

I’m hoping against hope that you, and everyone else, can see the connection between 1st and 2nd gear here.

THis...is...amazing. You be you! And enjoy your Smart cars. 

So it’s essentially the theme of the Chevy ad for nerds-except, you know, it doesn’t look good for Chevy. 

I really, really, really, want to know why you own 4 Smart cars...Are you running a very tiny delivery service in NY?

A few months ago I was following a Range Rover (the big one) that was no more than 5 years old and it had rust on the tailgate. $100K+- and rusting in 5 years or less. 

Except for Range Rovers. 

I mean, does anyone really care about this anymore? Back in the 80's and 90's a CR recommend was a big deal-but we didn’t have nearly the information available to us.

I hope you grow out of your arrogance. But I’m doubtful. Also, not a truck owner. 

If only everyone was just like YOU-it would be peaches and cream til the end of time. GTFO with that condescending attitude.

As we saw above-you can get a brand spanking new Ram Tradesmen for $20K+-. What are you waiting for? A smaller truck for more money?

Is there a business case? Probably. The thing is, that has to be compared to what else they do with the same capital investment.

Obviously. I mean, the Golf wagon and All-Trac are such huge hits, it makes total sense to add a higher zoot version. And it makes no sense to add a higher zoot vehicle in the hottest market segment on the planet. 

Beyond low inventory when new-first runs tend to optioned in very specific ways. So if you might be out of luck if you want specific options that aren’t part of it.

Harden averages 1 more free throw per game than Jordan in his highest year. Can we stop acting like this is unprecedented?

You sound so bitter and it’s fucking hilarious. I hope the next WRX has massaging seats just for you. 

No libertarian ever makes that argument. At least not any who actually think about it for more than 3 minutes.
