Great question. It’s clear from the article that the number of bad auto loans is up, but it’s not clear whether it’s up proportionally.

20 years? You’re missing at least two 0's.

You’re misreading that statistic. I don’t have time right now to find the source, but I can explain the logic. The average price of a new car sold went up when the recession hit because only wealthy people were buying new cars. New car prices didn’t start climbing, though. They went the opposite direction, because…

Ho....how are you greyed out? Kinja is weird.

This would be akin to fixing an election and it should be everyone’s nightmare, even if it would make Republicans look silly.

I don’t feel bad for hoping that 2 of the 3 killed were the ones actually racing.

*Facepalm*

Oh, I agree that the same people who are pining for driverless cars, are ones who can appreciate a good infotainment system. My point is just that a manufacturer’s ability or will to put good infotainment in a car is not correlated to their ability in the autonomy space. My GE dishwasher is average at best. Should I…

On the flip side, I don’t really care about my infotainment system, as long as it has aux and a volume knob.

Working on all of this stuff, good sir! Here is you web-connected glucose monitor. It’s $30. Think even bigger, though.

Yep. This is really more akin to wakeboarding than snowboarding. And even then, although the ground beneath the guy his harder, it’s more even and he’s not going particularly fast or grabbing any air.

I guess it depends on what kind of slopes you’re on, though.

Haha, I agree that it’s fun to think about. If money were no object, I’m sure that it’s theoretically possible, somehow. However, since money is an object, this is a solution in search of a problem.

“as they grow more irrelevant”

As a software consultant, allow me to promise you that certain technology DEFINITELY has limitations, especially within small frames of time. Goal Line technology is 20 years old and still has the limitations that I mentioned. It is literally light years from what you described. This is something I know a decent…

Actually, it would be really difficult to do on cars. There is a reason that you only ever see the first down line from one or two angles on TV. As the angles change, things interfere with the image (players, in football’s case), it becomes very hard to project the line correctly. If more than one car was green, it…

The best part of this ad is definitely:

HE LISTED IT AS AN ELISE!! THE DEBATE IS OVER!!

My local dealer actually had a GT350 listed for sticker. Awesome dealer, though. I’m sure it’s not there anymore.
