I was going to say that it makes more sense in the long run, but then I remembered executives only see a few quarters ahead... 

Ya, “guns don’t kill people” until they do...because that’s the entire purpose of their existence, and then someone like this wants to be treated as logically separate from an apparently semi-sentient inanimate object. The man’s face ran into her gun’s trigger, or something.

‘I pulled it out and immediately started trying to just continue to push against the door with it — like push it away from him’ she testified. ‘He grabbed my hand with the gun in it.’

Amen to every part of this.

I have a question for proponents of the ‘good guy with a gun theory’...Say you are the ‘good guy with a gun’. You roll up on some scene with someone shooting. Assuming this is a ‘bad guy’ (which maybe incorrect...see below), you pull out your gun to engage the person, but then another guy shows up with a gun. First,

Nobody bothers to ask the rest of us if we want all these ‘good guys’ running around with their boom sticks ‘protecting’ us. Keep your toys at home. I don’t trust your judgement and bullets are notoriously hard to take back if you make an ‘oopsies’.

Good. Let this be a lesson to everyone. Mind your own goddamn business. I’m sick of everyone hopped up on outrage trying to be the One Lone Ranger or whatever that shit is called. Mind your own goddamn business, and leave your guns at home in a locked cabinet.

Where is that Good Guy With A Gun? I keep hearing so much about him, but he’s just never there when he’s “needed.”

I had a Chevy dealer attempt to charge $1200 for dealer prep. After digging at them they revelaed this included a pin stripe down the side of the car and nitrogen in the tires.....that already came from the factory with nitrogen in them....which is a scam in itself. They literally tried to scam the scam and cover it

It’s amazing how NADA, dealer groups, (and probably some politicians) are upset because they really want to preserve theirright” to lie and cheat dollars out of the consumers’ pocket.

I think it’s less about enforcement than it is about liability. Dealerships that pull these scams would now be breaking a specific law so could more easily be fined or sued. It’s a deterrent. 

Some British bullshit, pouring tea on your windshield. This is America, get that gun out the glovebox and shoot the snow off. 

Lifelong MN resident here: do not put any water on your windshield if it is actually cold out, because it will just freeze immediately and you will have even more to scrape off. Never heard of someone pouring hot water on their windshield, but I don’t think I know anyone stupid enough to do that.

Even the name is peak GM. Ultifi is probably(?) meant to rhyme with wifi, so pronounced at ul-teh-fy. But I read it as ul-tee-fee and that’s a real great name guys, off to a great start.

Social media has given every narcissistic moron with access to a computer or a phone a megaphone, and we’re all dumber and worse off for it.

If there’s no crash rating, how are they selling them to the public?

“Can’t fix stupid” is exactly why customers shouldn’t be given a choice about when and where they can use any manufacturer’s “autopilot” system. Hell, how many people even read the owner’s manual? If it’s not designed for Y road, only for X road, then there should not be an option to turn it on when you are operating

That ain’t gonna do a thing. Towing companies enjoy being hated. Long as the cash keeps rolling in.

“I asked them, was my truck even driveable? Was it worth me even coming to get it? ‘Cause you think when your car gets stolen, it’s crashed up, damaged, you can’t drive it. So, they were like, ‘Well, we’ll talk to you when you get here with the $463.”
