With Cadillac’s initiative to be totally electric by 2030, I was the one holding the short straw when it came time to decide who was going to spearhead our “electrification” at our dealership.  We are investing just shy of $250k for the required chargers and all the infrastructure needed for support them. A lot of…

I’m definitely going to go home tonight and sit in my wife’s ND and take some big ol’ whiffs xD

I’ve never owned an NA (sadly) but, between my wife and I, we’ve owned 5 Miatas (two NB, two NC and now 1 ND). I, personally, think they all smelled the same.

So jury acquits on all charges with the judge throwing out an obviously broken law of a minor possessing a firearm (which he was and which he did). Judge’s reasoning? Because Wisconsin has a law allowing minors to possess a firearm for hunting season. If he’s allowed to possess the aforementioned firearm because of a…

Perfection. *Chef’s Kiss*

Yea...I’m 36. Imbécile.

Cadillac service manager here. Awful fking names. Cringeworthy comes to mind when I think of having to use these names with customers. Brings me back to 5th grade French when everyone was putting on their best Pepe Le Pew accent while butchering snobbish sounding French words.

This is absolutely a thing. I will say, my nose is not refined enough to distinguish between european vehicles but I could definitely pick out a Euro car vs. something else as they have a distinct nose flavor.

I don’t need this. What I need is a feature that will roll down drivers and passenger side windows to the exact same spot. The OCD in me would thank that engineer very much.

Yep...the car business is cyclical. Low inventory only works if every other car maker is drinking from the same koolaid pitcher. Once someone ramps up production/inventory to capitalize on volume over profit per copy, everyone else will be forced to do the same and we’ll wind up right where we were pre-pandemic /…

I know the housing industry /= auto industry as far as debt liability goes but still. The group that would benefit most from this (wealthy/financially stable) is also the group that doesn’t need it. Undoubtedly, this is to increase the amount of viable customers but, just like the housing market in ‘08, it also raises…

Dealers are actually buying quite a bit at auctions right now. The problems that we are facing are multi-faceted. First, we are having difficulty getting new cars because of the chip shortage so customers aren’t trading in. The other issue is that vehicles are in such high demand that a lot of what we get is being…

Reminds me of the remote lot that a lot of folks who worked in the Twin Towers used. The images of the lot afterwards showing all the cars was hard to stomach.

I think it’s long been time to add “flag” e-boards as F1 did. Remote monitoring via cameras to eliminate needing personnel and you’ve at least added an extra layer of saftey. It will never be perfect as you blend race course and public highway but not taking some precautions when it’s clearly warranted is just…

I could never get on board with the current gen Type R. It was so jagged and pointy and wingy and louvery and boy-racer to me. The original Type Rs were so clean and simple...it was part of what made them so incredible. They didn’t need all that crazy Batmobile stuff to be good. It was understated and the performance…

There are a lot of stories out there and plenty of people have experienced an accident where the obvious at-fault driver tries to shift the blame or at least muddle the scenario enough to the point where they can’t be held responsible with any certainty both for legal and insurance purposes.

Black licorice...Colorado, what are you? High?

If you’re the type that doesn’t scare easy, you can still have a good time in a haunted house. I worked as an actor at a local HH for a couple of seasons and, besides the people who were obviously frightened during their visit, some of most rewarding comments we received were about the aesthetics of our facility,…

This is not just a Tesla problem nor is it just a EV problem.
