We love to hate on GM, but they’re second only to Tesla in battery and autonomous driving tech. Hate on the dopey Bolt all you want, but 260 miles of range on a car that regularly retails for under $30k (actual retail prices - not the over inflated MSRP) is an extremely impressive feat.

Get the i3. It’s a genuinely fun car with a pleasant interior and good build quality. Range is mediocre on the early models, but the REx helps. Parts are commob because they sold well. It’s a purpose built EV.

I never liked the Hummer aesthetic, but this really works for me. It’s a thousand times better than the heinous Cybertruck. I think it’s more attractive than the Rivian RT1 (the ovoid headlight holes and lack of a grill don’t really work on a pickup).

I already posted articles from Amnesty International, NPR and Human Rights Watch before you ever commented. It’s not my anecdotes I’m arguing on - it’s international condemnation of Morales’abuse of power, corruption and human rights violation. The man changed the constitution to give himself more terms than legally…

“I know nothing about Bolivia but I read a couple of articles in a US based blog about it, so that makes me an expert on daily life and politics in Bolivia. I can speak for the Bolivian people, while ignoring their protests and public uprisings entirely”

Sure. Here’s a few internationally recognized and credible sources to get started.

Oh I am. And not just a supporter, but someone who works in campaign marketing strategy to get progressive (DSA and WFP endorsed) candidates elected in municipal elections in several major cities. It’s my passion and my job - not just some blog I read.

Backing a dictator to stick it to Elon? Bold journalistic endeavor!

Something I’m surprised hasn’t come up in all of Jalopnik’s coverage of the Changi NEMECA is what the “New Energy” part actually means.

It’s always repairs that aren’t worth the cost on otherwise enjoyable cars. For example, take the $4k Audi A6 I bought my boyfriend for him to learn how to drive on. Its a fast, luxurious and very handsome car. But it’s worth very little.

US manufacturers have learned that if you sell cheap cars here, nobody buys them. There are still a few on the market (Chevy Spark, Mitsubishi Mirage, Kia Rio, Nissan Versa), yet nobody buys them. Like, at all.

Yeah I was thinking this. If he’s going to keep it forever he got the right car. Imagine if he had to drive a Dodge Journey forever. 

It feels very Brazilian, and idk why

If you say it’s destroyed, they’ll ask for the body back. If you say it’s stolen, they’ll ask for the police report and you won’t be able to title or register it again.

With great credit there are often interest rates that are less than inflation on car loans in uncertain economies. At that point, you’re technically losing value by paying cash, as that money could be working for you as an investment.

The most recent Gen of Camaro SS 1LE is a great choice. Extremely nimble and great for autocross 

I’m someone who can afford to finance a new 5 série, s but buys old ones in cash. Here’s the math I did on my current car.

Woof, that's a lot of bad debt. Don't buy another car. That's the last thing you should do. Ride that horrible gladiator lease out and make a smarter choice next time. 

We bought a 2005 Audi A6 for $4k as our winter beater with AWD and heated seats. We’ve had several friends comment on “How did you afford that?” while they’re driving some $30k Rogue or Escape or something. Most Joe schmoe’s only see the badge.
