NO BLUE-BALLERS I KNOW WHAT I HAVE

The answer is “No”.

This is why we need to stop curing new diseases. Especially Zika, a disease capable of halving the human population withing a couple of generations just through handing people out condoms. Either no kids or kids that cannot breed themselves, it is the mst humane population control disease ever. Of course if I had my…

The official shoe for H2Oi two years running.

I would go with either of those 2 as well, there are some good rebates on the SS right now I think, plus, you get a bigger car and a better chance of not being stuck on the side of the road.

I cross shopped the SS and the ATS V as well. Awesome cars. Can’t go wrong with either. I ended up getting a SS with a manual. Something about the LS3 that just give me a tingle all over, and the back seat is a much better fit for adults as well. Bravo sir on your choices.

I wasn’t going to buy one anyway but now I’m REALLY not going to buy one.

Holy shit. No manual for the Giulia Quadrifoglio?
There is an Alfa dealer next to the BMW dealer. As soon as the Giulia arrived, I was planning to go test drive it against an M3 and buy the one I liked best. I may still do it, and then tell the Alfa guys they lost a sale because they decided their car is just for…

In what ways were the original auto makers subsidized like Tesla is today?

Nope. He was at BMW and Ford of Europe during the malaise era and had a hand in the launch of the 3-Series, Fiesta XR2, Escort XR3, RS200, etc. He came to Ford US in 1985 after the Malaise Era ended and engineered the rebirth of Ford with the Taurus and Explorer launches.

Without the tax credits there would be no profit, that’s not whining, it’s just plain fact. I know, big factory, lots of batteries, investing in growth, disrupter, blah, blah, blah,....

Rookie investors and Tesla junkies will eat it up and keep plowing money into Tesla.

Q3 was a gimmick designed to stabilize Tesla pre-merger. They need to raise more cash and are using the Q3 profit gimmick to do so. Musk himself said this in an email:

There are two different appraisals, though.
