I don’t consider the town a “tourist trap”, it’s literally next door to the Great Smokey Mountains NP, so it’s a nice place to stay if you’re venturing into the park. However, just about everything to do in that town is indeed a tourist trap, except Hillbilly golf, that’s pretty fun.

Having been to one and then the Lane Museum the day after, I prefer the Lane versus that tourist trap museum...you see way more cars for the same money.

A big part of the problem is not “unions” per se, but American labor law since the New Deal. It rests on a basic presumption of antipathy and opposition between employees and management. Historically, that’s quite true. But, in Germany, for example, unions have seats on the boards of companies and their members have

Not to mention, there really aren’t very many fields of work where job security is a given.... It’s just not a realistic expectation to have.

It’s what Henry Ford would have wanted.

Completely agree. They’ve got their heads in the sand about where the automotive industry is moving and it’s really not helping their case.

I’ll tell you what they really, really want:

“Most Texas Driver Ever Transports A Horse In Bed Of Old Chevy Pickup Truck”

They'll probably kill the TourX before the Encore, and it will be a national disgrace.

Nissan has positioned itself as the pay less, get less brand.

As far as design goes, in the short-term Nissan should take the shortcut and simply re-badge some Renault and Dacia models as their own until they can come up with something original in the future.

I love that car. The Color, the spec, everything is just awesome.

A while ago, I watched the movie Geostorm and was very disappointed to find that the main character did not drive a Geo Storm. In fact, not a single character in the movie drove a Geo of any sort. I didn’t even see any in the background. This makes me sad.

If it’s a 10% improvement, if we assume there are 1 million people being killed in road crashes every year, would you be happy with 900K deaths due to autonomous vehicles?

Just ran into my garage to fix this and to my bewilderment realized that I don't own a porsche.

Exactly, we would all pay personal taxes into it and corporations would pay some sort of tax too whether it is just an increased rate on an existing tax or a new tax. It definitely won’t be a free lunch. The deciding factor would be the quality of care and efficiency of the system on a scale immensely larger than any

Neutral: EVs will eventually disrupt EVERYTHING. Yeah, that came across like some sort of Bay-Area Tesla Fanboi rant, but that’s not what I mean.

Aren’t we all though?
