This likely didn’t cost much and most of the development will go towards future cars as well. It’s a compliance car. 

Yes, I think my wife and I are the ideal EV buyers (except that I seldom buy new, expensive cars). Multiple car household, smallish city of 300,000 that is not much more than 10 miles from one end to the other, homeowners, short commutes.  Having an electric that isn't a penalty box and is overly expensive appeals a…

They’ll lease enough of them to keep CARB happy while they work on their next offering. 

Thought it’s clearly a compliance car? Unfortunately, smaller automakers bear a higher relative burden...

Hot take that will get me crucified: a key reason many stocks have little to no grounding in reality isn’t greedy Wall Streeters, it’s the rise of free consumer trading platforms allowing Joe Bro to trade to his heart’s desire. This is in most respects a good thing...but many casual traders / STONXXX fans don’t know…

The Tacoma is a dog ass terrible pickup, the cult following is just that- a cult. Gutless engine, bad transmission tuning, big time dive & squat from the suspension, cramped cabin, awful infotainment.... but at least they’re expensive.

I’d also like to throw all Teslas in the ring. In my experience, they drive just…

Anything smaller than 8600 GVWR powered by diesel.

God damn it, this was a real missed opportunity to make a spirit called Captain Sloe Gin

Not necessarily low intelligence, but there is definitely a correlation between low-education and low-income, as better educated people can get better jobs. Much of the predatory business ecosystem for the poor depends on their innumeracy. Besides Dollar stores, there are those awful “Checks Cashed”, “Payday Loans”,…

Dodge owner chiming in here. I’ve had many cars, but I currently own three Dodges. A 1948 Dodge truck (hot rod), 1984 Ramcharger, and a 2020 Challenger 392. I love them all, but not because I’m some mook that needs to do burnouts every fucking chance I get. I grew up in Mopars. My first car was an 81 Aries, for fuck…

In the USA book titles are generally exempt from copyright protection as they fall under the short phrase exclusion. Same with most aspects of clothing; however, fabric prints are copyright protected as graphic works. Glyphs in fonts are not protected, but font names are. Legal protection of creative works is an…

To me the C3 doesn’t count. ALL cars from 1972-1985 or so are dogs (well, outside a few notable exceptions). The C3 is insanely easy to fix.

I think the film either implied or stated directly that other people had pulled the same scam as Vincent, only less successfully, so there’s an awareness that it happens and needs to be checked. After all, how would Tony Shalhoub’s character stay in business if this weren’t somewhat common?

All good points.

1st gear: Here’s a little piece of market wisdom of my own (been in the markets for longer than most of you have been alive).

He was right to think that Tesla is overvalued. He was wrong to think that it mattered.

Neutral: My father passed away on this day 4 years ago. It’s seems like a week ago. He was an amazing man. I miss him.

So the government mandated TPMS, but didn’t require that all automakers display tire pressure at each wheel?

Two things...

Keep trying. It took me a while to get ungreyed. The grey section started way back in the Gawker days:
