In the context provided, there’s nuance that’s missing as it doesn’t provide enough information about surrounding actions. Had he sent an email to a subordinate saying “Great presentation, can we have lunch or dinner to discuss other projects you’d be available to work on” that would read a whole lot different *in…

I get your point, but I like the reporting as it’s a tiny little bit of deterrence. Seeing what can happen at 100mph when you hit a tree is sobering (no pun intended).

I’m bored so I took a look. In general, you can get a 2015-16 BMW 5-Series (so last years of the old body style, the F10) with ~60k miles for $22k. Slightly higher mileage ones can be had in the $16-18k range. A 2015-16 Equus (granted not exactly the same but...) will set you back...about $22k.

Dude you got the deal of the century and I’m jealous. 

From a starting price I agree. However once you spec top trim of the Genesis, the G80 (and GV80) get within a few thousand of a 5 series or X5. I just spec’d out a GV80 and it was $3500 less at MSRP than a similar X5.  Slightly nicer inside, but same equipment.

Have you seen the resale value of an E class or 5 series? 😆 A five-year old 5 costs less than a Civic. The Genesis can’t be that much worse.

The article above touched on it, but here’s a pretty good overview (basically switched from consumer subscription to commercial EV):

Yes and in that 114 days, the ICLN ETF has lost 50% of its value. Not saying it can’t turn around, but that’s a hard figure to stomach. 

While yes, EV startups have faltered, so has a huge portion of the tech economy. Innovation and growth stocks are generally way down. Clean energy, which was supposed to have a banner year after Biden came into office, is in the toilet.

Your accurate statement is accurate. 

I’ve owned some 180k+ mile Crown Vics, F150s, and a 250k mile Avalon. Snooze.

I don’t experience pineapple burn. I do get a reaction to fresh veggies like carrots and peppers (oral allergy syndrome). I can eat spicy foods with little reaction. Cilantro tastes gross, as do most bitter flavors. I like sour, usually. 

Dude come to the east coast. Every suburban household has one of these. I live across from a fancy private school and about half of the vehicles at pickup time are Evoques, while the other 49% are BMW X7s. One cool dad has an Alltrak.

They’re actually closer than I thought. The Defender is a bit wider and taller, but a reasonable amount shorter which makes it easy to park. I’m surprised the turning radius is so bad; that used to be Land Rover’s strong point. The turning radius on a LR4 was less than an Accord. 

I’m disappointed there’s not a recommendation for the new Defender 90. So many awesome colors while still being petite enough to not feel like the 4Runner. 

Change your horn tone to something along the lines of “out of my way, fuckface” 😆

My opposite-of-this—because-i-am-a-man—who-doesn’t-want-to-offend-statement is that I dislike masks because I can’t do the submissive half-smile of “we accidentally made eye contact but I promise I was just looking at the price of that box of pasta” in the grocery aisle, trying to stay out of the way of every human…

My credit union will finance just about anything and, as long as you’re financing 90% or less of the NADA value, charge like 2.5% for a 36 month loan (I think 60 month may be 4.5%). A credit union account should always be something that a consumer has in their back pocket.

Re: Stevie Wonder - this is just another compelling piece of evidence.

I would think given all the options, a box truck is the worst of all worlds, no?  Must get unbearably hot in there with no windows or insulation.
