Since Torch is Audi 5000, I think someone needs to offer up a weirdo example. Might I tempt her with a car that revolutionized comfort? Something built to handle post war France’s ruined roads with ease? Yes, the answer is a Citroen DS. This one comes well under her price cap, leaving plenty of room to stock up on…
Therein is a bit of a risk. Xi is willing to shoot China’s economy in the leg for other gains. It’s a bit like having a possessor of nuclear weapons who is willing to kill off much of his own country to make a point.
I can’t imagine buying a $50k+ car and dealing with the Hyundai/Kia dealer operation. I dealt with it for a Veloster the year after they came out since Hyundai was pretty much the only place to get one at the time and that was more than enough. They fired the finance guy who “approved” me for terms that the bank…
And this kind of behavior is precisely why Hyundai and Kia will have a hard time dethroning other carmakers as a credible alternative to the Toyonza mainstream trio.
These actions aren’t exclusive to the EV6, Kia dealers are always trying to pull this crap.
To each their own I guess. American vehicles from about 1971-1993 are a black hole to me.
Ford and GM’s refusal to build new vehicles that compete in this space is what leads to prices like this.
I would assume, to tow shit.
There is a special place in Hell for people that are abusive to service staff, and an even worse one for the rightwing assholes who turned a minor public health measure into their personal career brand.
I’m just impressed that David turned being that weird old guy down the road whose yard is full of car parts and who is always covered in oil into a career.
Hertz is trying to imitate Enterprise but getting some of the details wrong:
I can sense a new Ad campaign:
The more I read about these stories, the more I wish Hertz didn’t survive bankruptcy.
Not a big deal but gasoline taxes are mostly diverted to other non-road expenses already. And damage to roads is primarily a result of temperature cycling, poor initial foundations, and heavy trucks. Making a small change to passenger vehicle weight won’t make a difference.
Well I don’t rent cars very often, but this, right here, will push them down to the bottom of my list the next time I do.
Idiot puts zero thought into buying expensive car, regrets decision.
Best of luck in your future endeavors, its been a pleasure reading your work here. Especially the mad ravings of Torch.
Somewhere, deep within the steel and concrete labyrinth that is Troy Michigan’s Zoning and Housing annex (Inspections and Enforcement wing), a grizzled man slumps into his chair. Tracy, D. - case file TM - 18-22/JP-Fe2-O3 had meant so... so damn much to him.
Oh... I, uh, don’t know if I’ll still come around anymore much after this.
