I did see the CEO being charged, and that is about as surprising as the sunrise. I never really trusted Lordstown was on the up and up as they always seemed awful hinky to me. I am, however, a bit disappointed in Canoo. I actually had some hope for them (I wasn’t going to invest, though - I was hopeful, not crazy) and…

“Thank you for the name. They did build 31 of them (I trust you), but just how much VC did that take? 31 vehicles. With freaking hub motors.”

That would be Lordstown motors and their truck was called the Endurance. I don’t know why NBM343 would think they were a grift, though, as before the company filed for bankruptcy they did build and deliver actual vehicles... 31 of them... and recalled 19.

“What good options that are ~ a $40K price point for AWD 300+ miles of range?”

After looking at the album cover, I would just like to say that her style of equestrianship while riding a galloping horse does not seem very safe to me.

Buyers requested to return to dealership to have their nuts re-twisted

Well, it’s march 15th. You can’t just let the Ides of March go by without stabbing somebody.

I commend these owners for testing the safety claims of the manufacturer. When I bought a Volvo, the company had advertised their superior crumple zones. As a responsible consumer, the first thing I did upon receipt of the vehicle was to drive head on into a concrete wall at 35 mph.

Obviously, he’s referring to Henry Bromwell, the 19th century grandmaster of the freemasons in Coloroado whose unwavering advocacy of esoteric sacred geometry culminated in the posthumous publication of Restorations of Masonic Geometry and Symbolry. Ergo, the chicken tax doesn’t “square” with celestial spheres. 

I certainly missed the boat by not investing in NFTs. I just got the annual report for my total market index fund and boy am I upset. Nowhere in this entire document does it mention anything about how I can use this investment vehicle as a digital avatar in a virtual paradise. My father warned me. He said, “mutual…

Toonces the Driving Cat!

Except insurance companies and all their actuaries have found that ”There’s no significant difference in accident statistics between manual and automatic vehicles. Otherwise, insurance companies would charge significantly different rates to drivers of either type of vehicle.”

He’s angry because he has a medical condition where he has no toes on his right foot. The brake and accelerator pedals on a Jetta are famously difficult to operate without those digits, and the guy is getting revenge on the vehicle because Volkswagons are notoriously lack toes intolerant.

That clowns always travel with twelve or more in a single tiny car.

Ah, yes, I remember that one. People wanted to be “thrown clear” because, of course, through the windshield at 40 mph is always the safest way to exit a vehicle.

Saying the guy who helped finance and organize the 1963 march on Washington where MLK gave his “I Have a Dream” speech had too much money is certainly a take, I guess.

“That very evening, he [Rothkio] called his friend and art advisor Katherine Kuh and told her he was returning the 35,000 dollars and claiming back his paintings. He famously stated: “Anybody who will eat that kind of food for those kind of prices will never look at a painting of mine.”

Thank you. Attitudes like the one displayed in the COTD have a real “All artistic tastes are equal, but mine is more equal than yours” vibe to them. 

So... if a dude has sex with another dude he’s not gay or does this just work with women?

LaughingMan, no. Read it again, and read the Hollywood Reporter link. It should be much less than $100. The Hollywood Reporter describes it as a “skinny bundle”. The idea is it’s all the sports content you get with a regular bundle like YouTubeTV (minus NBC and ABC sports), which is $73 a month, just without all the…
