Mission E was so much better!

2014 - 2017 Buick Regal GS. You can find a newer one that’s lightly used fresh off a lease well within budget and still have a ton of factor warranty left. You’d be getting a car with decent power and handling as well as a better interior than a lot of other cars in that price range for the age etc.

Chicken tax.

So they name it California, and yet they don’t sell it there. Interesting marketing they have at VW.

Based on the opening image I thought I’d hear: “$45 is the best I can do son.”

They beat AvE to the punch on this tear down! Would love to see what Ol’ Uncle Bumblefuck would make of that skookum batteria!

I’ve seriously been considering trading in my Mustang GT for a Kia Stinger because my wife is pregnant and rear-facing baby seats in the back of the Mustang are... challenging.

You do realize that most drivers work for a cab company and lease the cars and the ability to driver under the medallion the company owns right.

Goddamn Luddites.

Down with Jacquard Looms! Will no one think of the weavers who invested in expensive looms, that now can’t make a living with machine looms undercutting then, and are taking their own lives!

The vast majority of taxi medallions are owned by rich white men and they aren’t getting their money back.

Government created the problem in the first place by catering to powerful rent seekers, which distorted the market. It (we the voters) is responsible for changing it.

This is terrible for this man and other people like him, but the problem isn’t with Uber, it’s that a medallion is $700k. This artificial economy has always been problematic. There are also issues with ride sharing, but the answer lies somewhere in the middle, not protecting this outdated system.

Yeah, when you tax gasoline powered cars at almost 300% of sale price and don’t tax electric vehicles, a Model S for less than the price of a base Golf kind of makes sense.

This is and interesting new take, but I ultimately disagree with where it’s going.

With all these ifs and maybes and possiblies it reminds me, if my aunt had a dick she’d be my uncle.

I’m down. Don’t get high and decide to go jaywalking in dark clothes in the middle of the night. If this were a human driver this would have been easily considered the pedestrian’s fault.

Hey man, whatever you have to do to make it work. I keep telling my friends that want to get into riding the same thing. They have lofty dreams of these brand new, super pricey bikes. Doesn’t matter what you ride, as long as it’s on two wheels, you’ll have a blast.

I had a Magna as my first bike. Great bike. I wish I’d held onto it. The only problem is the quite small gas tank.

He leased an EV1 back in the day too
