I agree with most of what you said, But what lender do you know that requires a tracker? and as far as i know there are like 2 insurance companies that even offer something that tracks your driving....... sucks when people make a good point and then pad it with bullshit

I work at Ford, so there’s probably a disproportionately high amount of blue cars around me.

Because at some point, the past must give way to the future.  Otherwise, NOTHING would EVER change.

remember a different key for ignition and locks ?

The reason we don’t have kei cars is because of crash test regulations, not fuel economy regulations.

WTF is the purpose of trying to roll back emissions standards if basically all of the major manufacturers have already agreed to it

No. Trump wants the auto manufacturers to not comply with California’s emission standard. He is, in fact, urging them to produce cars with emissions higher than what they are willing to do to.

They have an ideology and that is giving their buddies more money. The rollback is not about raising emissions, its about using more gas. Gotta keep the oil billionaires in good standing.

The answer is no; now, what’s the question?

I understand the Republican belief that eliminating regulations is good, but what’s the point of urging car manufacturers to raise emissions? Like, isn’t the whole point of eliminating regulations to give business the freedom to do what it wants? And if what it wants is even better for the Earth, why fight it?

I read the NYT article this morning. The thing that jumped out at me was this:

WTF is the purpose of trying to roll back emissions standards if basically all of the major manufacturers have already agreed to it? Oh yeah, the same thing that causes these morons to constantly shoot themselves in the d!ck... “owning the libs.”

I didn’t know this. Then it is much more forgivable. I guess I could’ve understood when the article mentions with delivery included that meant it was lower, but I let the pet peeve get in the way. Thanks for the clarification.

If there is one thing I know about cars with $40k gross, no salesperson is able to even look at it, you know between the dp, sales manager, and general manager, that gross is going to be theirs.

Pretty much any profession that deals with individual clients has the same thought. I did a stint as a financial adviser, and that was one of the first pieces of advice.

Have you driven one?  More importantly, have you driven one on a road trip loaded with your family and all their shit?

I’ve got a dumbass brother that doesn’t understand this (hi Nick, if your reading this you fucking dimwit).

The take-home comp of your friendly neighborhood CPA who is a partner at their firm would absolutely floor most of you. It’s generally not great form to show up at meetings with clients in vehicles which remind your client that the fees you charge result in six-to-seven figures of annual comp, particularly when they…

The first, last, and only time this vehicle would have a rope and work gloves in it.

For me, scanning Supra articles for mentions of a manual variant are like the hot person you want to date that isn’t interested in you: You know you should just get over it and move on, but you’ll look for any sign that there’s a glimmer of a chance.
