“This whole “your father in-law” order one, or boomers being the main customers, isn’t really the case as much now....”

Jalopnik has been pushing this tired narative for years now. Surprised they didn’t mention New Balance shoes, jorts or gold chains.

But Porsche/BMW/Mercedes? Sign me up!

Exposed carbon fiber looks tacky when it’s not actually exposed carbon fiber. If it’s done well and it’s legit I actually kind of like it. I’m not sure it complements this particular color, though.

Also, I can’t be the only one who thinks all that exposed carbon fiber looks cheap and tacky, not premium.

Counterpoint: Let people enjoy things.

Even if I wanted to piss money like no tomorrow, the hotel is located in Florida—one of the worst states of the nation thanks to that mini-Trump fascist governor and his full-bore lying hypocrisy.

Not that they didn’t intend to use them. But that it was uneconomical to use them at $45/bbl.

Im missing something. If I can get a $15,0000 solstice, have mallet upgrade it for $22,000, simple math gets me to $37,000. Which is basically half of $70,000. Why would anyone buy this?

Fox News and talk radio is rotting America’s brain. Do yourself a favor and actually Google those talking points with an open mind, leaving yourself with the possibility that you could be wrong. See what happens, you might be surprised.

Sorry bud, you need to research that a little better. Its supply demand change in pre/post Covid and OPEC, but those are fine talking points. The pipeline oil would have been exported, and the pipeline wouldn’t have been enough to effect the global cost of a barrel. The same oil ended up where it was going without the…

50% of US oil pipelines are *unused* right now.

were pumping more oil in this country now than when we were “energy independent” in 2017 under trump. shit were still energy independent. people like you dont know that. you also dont know that there are 9000 unused oil leases already. theyre just bitching to make it seem like its not their fault prices are going up. …

“shutting down a major pipeline his first week in office”

The rising prices since the election have more to do with the slowing of production during the Covid slowdown in commerce, and the quick return demand when the economy came roaring back post Covid. OPEC kept the production low and enjoyed the profits only ramping up supply incrementally. The pipeline was a drop in the…

There are a lot of service workers that can’t do that.

Honestly, just get a Corvette. Once you shove a V8 in one of these, upgrade the drive train to handle the power, then add on bigger wheels for grip, you have something with the same weight, but a much shorter overall wheelbase. A base C6 is like 3200lbs, these things were like 2900lb stock.

It would help even if people worked at home 2-3 days a week instead of going into the office for the full work week.

You’re trying to apply logic to the situation. They don’t care about that. They still blame Biden for gasoline price increases and “loss of energy independence” for canceling an unfinished pipeline.

The recent prices have more to do with profiteering than the war. They were already scooting up, because of profiteering, before this war was kicked off.

My point being, you cant blame dems for the higher gas prices in general, but specifically not for this move. The increase in recent prices is due to instability. When the US announced it would stop buying Russian oil, the market did nothing.

Russian oil makes up <3% of our annual supply. It wont effect us nearly as much as Europe. Also worth mentioning, this decision was met with bipartisan support.
