I like this idea overall. However saying a car has 3.5 hours of drive time is even MORE alarming (IMO) than saying it has a 260 mile range. I’m sure there’s a reason automakers haven’t put this in their marketing. 

I’m just taking a guess here, but it’s probable that he was employed by some third-party Corp, either a completely unrelated entity or a corporation established by Gaga that likely also pays her other staff.

YES! That’s the issue here too. I don’t want a huge house, but the low added price (and ease of future selling) makes it not worth it to get a smaller place. Right now my house is 3000 sq ft and it’s just me and it’s way too big. But apparently we need to live in a land of giant houses that touch each other. 

100%. I have driven around Philly my whole life and I never even considered the possibility that a car could get into one of those tunnels. I guess at night, maybe, but it’s pretty clearly not for cars. 

Instead of delaying shipments of already-built cars, why not just deliver them and then ship a replacement top when available? Owner can choose to have it done at a dealer or have it shipped to their house, since these things are literally made to come off. Bring your old top back to the dealer for disposal or hold…

NGL, that would be me if the place I wanted to move (closer to family) had any inventory. But it doesn’t - like basically no houses at any price point, unless you want a $1M, 7000 sq ft mansion, which I don’t. 

The stats aren’t talking about absolute average cost to own; it’s average percentage of average income.

I luckily bought a house and a car in 2019, because holy cow today’s market is wild. The magical money and debt gravy train is going to hit a wall eventually. Average cars at $30k and houses at $300k when they should all be a third of that just feels unsustainable. 

What I’ve learned from the comments section is that people have very different definitions of what a “grill pan” is.

Who buys new safety seats every year?  Most are now convertible and last the ~12 years you need them. Still a cool idea for when you’re in a pinch though, like if an unexpected friend needs a ride. 

Most of these comments are wrong. While strips are the preferred theoretical chip, they’re frequently broken and therefore useless.

NOBODY will ever be a great choice. Never will there be someone who is without controversy.

A 2012 Leaf near me with similar miles is selling for $8k. Is the extra ~60% worth it for leather and a fancy interior? And to not be seen in a Leaf? Maybe to some.

I’m a big fan of going the other way. Big. My teenager car was a ‘97 Mercury Grand Marquis that I had to street park. Learning to do that means driving anything else was a cakewalk.

For once I’m not that skeptical of the story…at least the part where the passenger exited the car with a handgun and pointed it at the driver of the Charger.  That seems upsettingly believable.

Don’t disagree with you, though that’s not really the point I’m trying to make here.

It’s definitely because of the solid white line. The solid line starts way, way far back and the car’s computer doesn’t have enough info to realize it needs to cross so far back to get into a “turning” lane. Likely the GPS doesn’t even see it as a turn, per se. The car can’t cross the solid white once it’s in it, and…

Well maybe, but that’s not the focus of the article. I just think there’s a lot of negativity toward the Feds that’s not warranted within the scope of what is being reported.

Isn’t the free market setting the higher wage, and not an artificial government price floor, like…a good thing? Invisible hand at work, everybody. 

For better or worse, the games will go down in history as being a commentary on the world’s response to Covid - take that as you will.
