Eh... you can just weld up a crack in aluminum castings.... sometimes.

Castings and presses are not compatible. This whole article is bonkers.

Strange take, Torch. A part and process that reduces assembly and materials cost will obviously benefit the consumer. A car that is quicker and cheaper to make, can be sold for less. The way you argue it is as if the costs incurred my a manufacturer have nothing to do with the sales price. Completely illogical.

Don’t worry about what KBB says, get a carvana/vroom/carmax offer.  Probably well above KBB/nada

Selling my 2019 Golf Alltrack to Carvana as soon as they approve my paperwork. They offered me $8000 (35%) more than I paid for it new, 2 years and 15k miles ago. How can I turn that down? Picked up an 09 Jetta 2.5 w/ only 41k original miles for just $4500 to daily until this chip shortage shit storm is over.

We need to re-frame this whole situation. A backlog of goods arriving in California ports is not a problem. It actually might be part of a solution.

I am trying hard to convince my family to go this route, but they are pushing back hard.  They make a google doc spreadsheet where everyone is supposed to list their clothe sizes and what plastic crap they want this year, then everyone gets assigned a random person to gift for, even if they aren’t coming to christmas…

It’s a really low payload. You can probably just let the thing vibrate after you launch. Maybe replace a center bearing each time that gets torn up from the lack of balance.

No, he didn’t lie to his team mates. He misled the media. His team mates are not idiots, they surely knew his exact status. He had to wear masks more than everyone else and follow different, specific protocols. IE, it was obvious to anyone with a brain that he wasn’t vaccinated. They still gladly got in the huddle…

Maybe stop and consider, you know, that he didn’t actually endanger any of them?  Why does a vax’d person with a breakthrough case get a total free pass, comparatively?

It’s like your reading what I write and then responding to some fictional character you have built up in your mind.

Why does anyone who simply questions your mass media narratives get labeled a fox news devotee? I don’t watch them or any cable news, man.

Shit, he/youtube pulled that video? Ugh. Anything that questions the narrative is being censored. Just asking questions gets you labeled as “misinformation”. All these bootlickers... I can’t even participate any more, too depressing how little independent thinking people are willing to do these days.

Maserati Levante? Interesting choice, Joe. I think a steam powered rig running off coal would fit his image better. Or at least a tuned diesel that rolls coal.

Did he “drive into them”? They aggressively blocked him.

I don’t see any lurching or threatening behavoir at all. Inching forward cautiously is perhaps the single best way to handle such a situation.

This. In the united states, there are actually very few neighborhoods where you’re going to be the victim of random crime just because you happen to wander in there. People feel in danger and complain all the time, but the reality is they mostly weren’t. News media does a good job of hyping up the fear, but the…

Good PPE but dude needs to put his face shield down!  I’ve made that mistake, got everything on and feeling safe and good, but then you realize you left the face shield up when you get a face full of wood chips and narrowly avoid eye damage.

This. Thanks for a rational response. I can’t understand these simpletons who don’t actually read news carefully or pay much attention, so eager to weigh in like experts. It’s plainly obvious how Machin and Sinema have both moved their goal posts and obstructed progress, chiefly aiming to protect corporate donors over…

What? What the fuck about what Manchin or Sinema are doing right now is helping or representing their constituents? They are protecting corporate donors, nothing more. You think Arizonan Democrats are passionate about protecting corporate tax rates?  Get real
