There once was a man from Nantucket

And if we had a nickel for every person who listened to Nickelback, bought an album, and/or went to one of their concerts only to swear the band is terrible after it got fashionable to.say so, we would be living in hilltop houses driving 15 cars.

If the rotors are no longer being manufactured, that means they have to be custom fabricated. They are probably being made by some boutique shop in Germany. As you might imagine, this is not a simple process. Here’s how one UK racing shop describes it.

That sound you hear is all remaining Fisker Ocean owners running out to ding their car doors.

I love the part where they run the stock into the ground, lay off workers due to poor managemt/anti marketing by the CEO and then force them to exercise their options while the stock is reeling.

Toyota sure seems to have followed the right path. Making the Camry hybrid only was also a damn good move. Fact of the matter is, until pricing, range, and charging ubiquity are the norm, electric only will be a hard sell for many 

Unfortunately we need a good old fashioned economic downturn to reset the spending habits of the masses. I see so many people with modestly-paying ($50K or less) jobs driving new cars in the $40K+ range and it blows my mind. I was fortunate to make that much when I first graduated from university 20 years ago…

The government didn’t mandate that Ford kill off all of its affordable offerings. Ford was simply following the cynical “build less, charge more” pricing model that a number of car manufacturers thought they could get away with in the wake of pandemic supply chain issues.

They all thought they could be Tesla on day 1.

The cheapest new Ford you can buy will set you back over $31,000 once fees are factored in, fully $10,000 more than a base Chevy Trax.

Somalia. Sudan. Haiti. Mozambique.

If he’s a sovereign, just declare war on the fucker and end it.

I like how these folks want all the perks of a governed society but none of the responsibilities. Isn’t there a patch of desert or tundra or a vacant Island we could move them to so they could be free. 

Greedy idiots. He was actually willing to pay their BS ticket, but then they decided to see how much more they could shake out of his pockets.

As I have gotten older, I have learned to not let things bother me if I am going to never think about them again in 20 minutes. More people need to go back to not worrying about other peoples business.

Why do you "loath people who do this"?  I am legitimately curious and a little confused

Actually, this is very normal practice — and if you think the Limitation of Liability Act is “ancient” because it’s 173 years old, hoo boy..... You are in for a big surprise when you go and google “general averages” for the first time! Because wow, you obviously have not researched this at all if you’re talking about…

The federal government will be on the hook for the majority of those costs, the site reports.

Just take the excuse for being late for work? No, that’s not the answer either.

Every one of those people have managers.
Back in aerospace, even my group of 200 ppl had other lower managers as team leaders.
During those layoffs, the team leaders would take members of their own team slated for layoff, and do it personally. It would go from 8am to 11am.
It was shitty, but it was at least done face…
