This is the correct answer.

Suspect cost is the reason.  

They had better hope there are no river rocks near the dealership. They can tend to capriciously fly through the air around three in the morning, landing, unfortunately, on completely innocent new Kias. No one should assist these wayward river rocks in the least during their youthful exuberant rockish pranking,…

Either they got a conditional approval, based on proof of income, and it later fell through.

It sounds like he wasn’t actually “approved” by any finance institution (ie. bank). The dealer guessed some bank WOULD take the loan but, when he wasn’t approved / approved at the terms the dealer guessed, they simply said “oops”

Your post makes the point that it’s impossible to define the “perfect” car. Even in my mid-50s, I could less about cloud like driving. I don’t need luxury in a car. It’s a utility not a comfort (for me.).   My M2 is hard as hell to get in and out of, is impractical with only 2 doors, hard as heck ride, but once I turn…

Or change the regs so that to drive any vehicle over 6000 pounds requires a commercial drivers’ license.

There’s no more direct (legal) incentive than financial, so this solution is definitely the cleanest line to reduced demand.  

I think it would be a win for all of us if Tesla fanboys were incapable of reproducing.

Considering some videos I've seen of people getting NOES Johnny Depped by the interior edge of the bed, I'm with you.  I wouldn't be betting my wedding tackle on the strength of my jeans in that situation. 

 In my experience, all a Masters proves is enough time and money (usually daddy's) to go to school. A degree sadly does not denote smart or common sense. 

They used to have a headquarters in the East Village but were gentrified out of it and moved to the Bronx. Fun fact: Bakersfield has a higher crime rate than San Francisco. 

I’m sure the lack of volume isn’t helping for Ferrari, but $7500 is more than the production cost of a standard Mustang Mach-e battery. Most of these EVs are designed for pretty quick battery replacements. Book time for a Bolt, I believe, is something like 4.5 hours.

But when you’re talking a class of vehicle where oil…

Related. There are a few pre and post-Group B and a few Group B cars running around Southern California. There’s at least three late model Lancia Integrales (two yellow and a red), a gorgeous red Lancia 037, a real factory Fiat 131 Rally, at least two Ford RS200s, a Peugeot 205 and a Metro.  These are cars I’ve…

All you have to do is never do anything that requires the screen.  Then the integration is perfect.  

California sells a winter blend fuel that’s supposed to be better for the environment however it does a number on the equipment that monitors vapor pressure at gas stations. If you’re interested in more information look for CARB executive order 405-D.

I remember this CompSci 101 class where there was mostly men and a few women. At the start of the semester, the professor remarked, “Wow, there’s so many women in this class! It’s so good to see you!” They all dropped the class.

It is thiccc!!

My parents are from Detroit, MI. Woodward Ave was a marvel of timing. You could drive 20-30 *miles* in a city/suburb with regular lights and never hit a red. The whole damned road was timed at 42 mph (yet posted 35, natch).

It’s more than the GDP of Vermont and Wyoming, and almost as much as the GDP of Alaska, Montana, and South Dakota.
