Supérintendente Chalmers (pronounced “Shal-meres” because French)

My favourite part of this line is what Red Forman’s crew (he really settled down after he met Kitty) said in response: it’s clearly “Aww, f**k you!” but I remember the captions were “Aww, FOR you!” to protect the sensibilities of the hearing-impaired. Because a little f-bomb in a movie with buckets of blood and gore…

“Your move, creep.”

Yup - after the experience we had with my wife’s Elantra (thankfully it was leased), it’ll be a tough sell to go back to Hyundai/Kia - hopefully they indirectly influence other (more reliable) marques to follow suit.

Thanks for this!

Toronto... So you're not far off - we do have some bike lanes, but they aren't separated from vehicle traffic (and between the potholes nature of our roads, and the incompetence of our drivers, it'd be a risky proposition). 

Don't be surprised if a few years down the road, some opponent of this move points out that after lowering the BAC, there were MORE drunk drivers and that this means the idea is a failure (ignoring the fact that when you lower a threshold for measuring something, you will often see more of it, simply because more are…

Kinda surprised no one else made the joke...

“Eric Popper”

Yup. The kind you can see from orbit.

Tesla supplied the whole drivetrain, though neutered quite a bit from any other Tesla offerings at the time

If it’ll make you feel better, Musk didn’t start it (so you don’t have to give him credit for that).

It’s the rightward shift’n’grift - he’s pulling in the red pill/red hat/Qanunce types.

Yeah, the market share thing is a bit of a red herring.

Oh it hearkens back to WWII, as the Russians are worried about zee Germans coming.

Agree with both youse guys - my wife will comment when she sees the new car, that our 2013 looked better.

I hope you find a good, ethical dealer who won’t try to HODL the Corolla GR “to the (MSRP) moon”

If availability was there (and markups not there) I think this would be a great family car.... y’know, to help my kids build character (in the form of resilience against the bumps, shocks, and high-G curves that life throws at you).

AMC Eagle?

I think it’s implied by the “slow charging” complaints - I wouldn’t be surprised that the average consumer doesn’t know much about the different Levels and their different charging speeds.
