This one pegs the bullshit meter to the max. I used to live in Texas and had an Impala. Sitting in traffic in 105 degree heat with dew points near 90 degrees had zero effect on how hot the engine ran. Police cars have upgraded cooling systems to help them deal with being used harder than civilian cars. They’re…

Probably has to do with tire durability. Remember when the super sport came out and they justified the limiter as the speed the engineers determined was the sweet spot where the car at WOT would run out of fuel before the tires disintegrate. Michelin probably told them if you go 280 on these tires for more than 10s…

The car smells nice

Sure, 260's fine. But anything over that might be dangerous.

That’s a good question. How much less dead would you be if you crashed and burned at 260 as opposed to 285? I doubt that would even make the difference between open- and closed-casket.

If the Veyron’s development is anything to go on, Bugatti’s two-year delay between launching the Chiron and testing its top speed may not be part of a carefully-planned brand strategy.

THATS EXACTLY WHAT I’M COUNTING ON BRAH

Fair enough, but they still sell a shit-ton of them.

Worth noting that the Subaru Forester (non-turbo) can be had with a 6 speed manual on base and premium trim levels.

The starting price is considerably lower than the Outback ($22,600) and it is more comparable in size to the Alltrack than the Outback is.

No. Because air bags aren’t telling you to drive into a wall every time, hoping they’ll fire. They’re a failsafe in case you have a crash.

That dog has good handwriting

If you’ve ever seen people on their first holiday in California or Florida, you’ll understand the demand for Mustangs in rental fleets.

Yes. Yes, he has.

Eh. You have to remember that enthusiast tastes and vehicular tastes of the regular car-buying public don’t overlap all that much. What’s popular is not always going to be called a CUV and the styling is going to change some. However - tall wagons with comfy suspension and some ground clearance are going to be a thing…

So, which is worse? Talking to bike guys in the bike store, or talking to guitar guys in a guitar store?

I might have to start DVRing a couple of shows to see what’s doing with him.

I searched “below average” and got a nice selfie.

There’s a school of sales thought that you don’t want your salesman knowing too much because their conscience might get too involved. It’s easier to sell shit products if they don’t know they’re shit. They just need to know the marketing bullets.

Salespeople generally don’t know shit about their products. They don’t care, they’re not invested like techs who are obviously more likely to be enthusiasts.

Product knowledge is a distant #2 compared to the ability to close a sale.
